Why does it have to be a Trump supporter that is not a happy camper? I believe if you label someone, then it takes away from the gist of the story, and totally discounts it's accuracy to me. The toxicity in all of the labeling these days, is nothing but unhealthy division.

Used to leave out of Misratah, Libya to go offshore back in the late 90's, and flew every trip with always drunk Russian seaman on a fixed wing from Tripoli. Every single time they were turned away by immigration, but always seem to get in the next day. Way past time for Thailand to excuse them, making all expats look bad, time to turn em back around back to the USSR.

My Thai wife probably wouldn't like that, but I get it, but is it really worth it these days?

Well then... More difficulties for Farangs in Thailand, immigration, tax burdens, toxic air, over tourism, sullen and sour locals, drunk tourists, road rage on dangerous roads, delivery scooters riding like bats out of hell. Remind me again why it's a nice place to retire?

I thought, maybe mistakenly, that the original concern was foreigners might be caught up in the same net as the Thai national repatriating money? Doesn't seem very fair, and will be a definite negative on Thailand if foreigners are not given the same courtesy, especially retirees.
