He says that he has a yellow book. In which case he shouldn't need a certificate of residence. Perhaps he is color blind and he mean his wife's blue book.

Interesting, thank you. Another point that people should add to their emergency plan.

An example of this is here: @NanLaew Whether the number is true or false is irrelevant to the posed question of whether the poster mentioned supports the murder of all Gazan infants, or only some. 🙂

I don't automatically believe everything anyone/any organization says. Which is why I research and analyze original sources.

Taxes need to be paid at the land office, based on their official valuation of the land. Which is typically around 25% of the real value. It won't be much. It's Thai to Thai, nothing to do with you, leave them to it. Perhaps sit back with a drink and enjoy the laugh at how amazingly complicated they can make such a simple matter. 🙂

They would have grown up to be terrorists Do you support the murder of all Palestinian babies in Gaza? Or just some of them? 🙂

Sounds like a pixelated front page newspaper story in the making.

Some people living here are in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. Amazing, I know. 🙂

We met while doing Phd's in Washington State. Married not long after graduation, by which time she was employed by a large MNC with operations in Thailand and The States. Sinsod wasn't mentioned before, during, or after marriage by anybody. Other than by people on a Thai based forum I was a member of at the time, when we were researching about registering the marriage in Thailand too.

HDDoS attack. DDoS attack, but for a hotel.

Good information of your experience. Thank you for your positive contribution on ASEAN Now.

After reading some of the replies, I'm now thinking of just blocking all family member's phone numbers as to not even be notified of them being on their deathbeds.

Humanity's biggest mistake in the last 80 years. 😞

I have seen a few agent adverts on social media sites offering it for 40,000 (iirc) They provide the documents from cooking schools or muay Thai schools, you may need to go there for 2 hours per week, perhaps. I presume you still need the 500,000 in bank account and they just supply the invitation letters and documents needed. Not being able to get it inside Thailand is a bit of a con. As is having to do a border hop every 6 months if someone doesn't live near open borders. Not dealing with immigration offices for 5 years is a pro.

I wouldn't draw a conclusion from a headline, I would read the report and the source first, in order to not give incorrect information. The poster's claim: 90% of casualties in war are civilians. The source report, not the headline: Data from 3 reports from one year (2021) show that civilian casualties during armed conflicts were 10% in non-urban areas, and 89% in urban areas. One of the 3 conflicts used as a source of data was the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians. 🙂 Poster's claim: Debunked as false.

You either didn't read the report, or didn't understand it. 🙂 Only one of the numerous speakers said that: "Conflict continued to cause widespread civilian death last year, notably in densely populated areas, where civilians accounted for 90 per cent of the casualties when explosive weapons were used, compared to 10 per cent in other areas. " And used this as a source for his piece. https://docs.un.org/en/S/2022/381 In 2021, 1,234 incidents involving the use of explosive weapons were recorded in populated areas in 21 States affected by conflict, resulting in 10,184 victims. Of these, 89 per cent were civilians, compared with 10 per cent in other areas. The highest numbers of civilian victims of explosive weapons in populated areas were reported in Afghanistan, the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the Syrian Arab Republic Someone with an agenda could use to source to declare 90% of casualties are civilians, while another could use the same information and source to declare that 10% are. Both, of course, would be wrong. 🙂

And if found guilty in an international court it will be great to see them hang. 🙂

That myth was debunked almost as soon as it came out. 🙂 Just one of the sources: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00396338.2010.494880 🙂

You're wrong. 🙂

Israel doesn't have a right to exist, under international law. 🙂

58,000+ dead on one side. 80% of whom are civilians. <2,000 dead on the other. It isn't a conflict. It is a genocide.

Readily available in the following regions: 🙂

Well, there are many retired single Westerners living in lots of different regions and places. Along the coast. On the islands. In the jungle north. Not many single retired westerners living in Isaan. Perhaps, 2 in the whole region? 😁 Only the mentally ill would actually choose to live there instead of the coast, islands or mountains. Which gives you your answer. 🙂

Touched a nerve. Why am I where? 🙂

Don't remove the illegal Jew settlers. Remove Israel. Any Israeli citizen can choose to be relocated to chosen Western countries with a new passport. The selling of IDF hardware should cover a lot. Try the head honchos for crimes against humanity in the Hague. UN boots on the ground. Democratic elections in the new official Palestinian state within 10 years. 🙂
