What Would Make You Leave Thailand, Permanently?
First and foremost this is my list. You can make your own Banking: Anything possible. They could do limits or documentation or whatever. Think you've made the mistake of believing that they actually want us here. You have more money than sense if you are living on ATM pulls at 250b a crack. Many of us don't fly home for anything short timer. This is home. Moreover, if you've just had a stroke or severe heart attack possibly needing a transplant you're not hopping on a plane the next day and flying to wherever. Finally, you're not an American but American seniors have no direct access to the healthcare system as it's effectively linked to residency. Almost nothing regarding visas is grandfathered. Really, nothing. Jingoism. I specifically singled out into American sentiment ... Given the tens of millions of tourists that pass through here annually they could just get sick of all of us in total. It's already a bit sour in BKK. THB strength. Is pure speculation on your part. We've seen the THB hit 30. There is no telling what the government might do to resolve the tariff issue internally. One thing for certain is those heady days of 97-05 weakness are long past. Only a few blips on the chart the THB peeking above 35. Rents are reasonable for a reason. That cheap condo is not 120sqm but only 45. That house 50% of price at home is located in the sticks, poorly built and prone to all sorts of problems from theft to fire. Things are cheaper but they are cheap and break quickly. Food is the only thing that will remain low. Note: restaurants catering to the farang palette are just as expensive as the West from what I can see in Bangkok. * I never eat in these places. I think the right to own a small plot of land and multi year residence visa at the very least. PR. Certainly not voting rights - that will never happen and I do not care as the country is a basket case

Will the Epstein saga tear MAGA apart?
I know many will scoff but Trump's offloading the JE saga has me wondering if he wants to hang Wray, Comey and Hillary (and deservedly so) and he's not going to chance lack of lawyers and or huge emotional clusterfk overwhelming his second term There are only so many good, trusted lawyers in the government to handle the suits. I'm wondering if he's made a decision to not deal with Epstein nonsense and continue to go after his sworn adversaries? Pethaps after these cases are closed and Trump is lame duck you might see action. As I posted earlier... JE is known money launderer. Alex Acosta stated he was *intelligence* All the wired rooms I think we're just part of his freelance intelligence operation linked to money laundering He's definitely very wrapped up in high profile Israel supporters. I don't think there are many caught up in any sting as I'm sure the word would get out he's a blackmailer. Seems like in US it's half / dozen of the same faces proprted *victims* The island is a mystery Wonder when Maxwell will file appeal 555

Yes, the wife. We'll never divorce, but if she were to pass I'd be gone in a flash. That's not really on Thailand though. If I were here for the p4p scene I'd be long gone. That's absolutely certain. I'm already trying to work out how both of us might retire elsewhere with healthcare. I would highly recommend from 2026 no one plan to retire here fully until death. If you're already here, established like me. .ok. Don't come and try to put down roots. They don't want you and it shows both in attitude and policy

Cannabis Sweets Crackdown: Thai Shops Face New Penalties
The stupidity in all of this is typically Thailand All they needed to do is keep everything the same and give businesses a year to sell down stock and wind down leases. After one year - it's all effectively illegal and easy for cops to tidy up Of course, nothing is ever that simple in Thailand.

Utter BS The only people wearing all those stupid maple leaves are Canadians. The notion that an American would sew maple leaves in to their backpacks and buy maple leaf shirts so as to not present as Americans is beyond belief. I challenge you for proof. Living traveling in Asia almost 35 years. Never met such people

You whine about morality and yet you lifted that entire article without attribution. No one every claimed Trump's oratory skills were his strong point. Nevertheless, he's killing it and it's upsetting you to no end. Morality lol. You're one of the biggest content thieves on this forum. Even your avatar is stolen!! 55555555

Are a Few People Ruining the Internet For the Rest of Us?
Absolutely Still about a dozen on this forum under a few dozen usernames that can't accept reality and daily if not hourly if not minute by minute post inaccuracies, distortions and outright lies Funny thing is that it changes no opinion on this forum nor anywhere else. The effort is in fact a total waste of time and a waste of their lives. Nevertheless, they have no lie and so this is what they habitually do because they are too brain dead to do much of anything else especially anything that is productive

Wall Street to Sukhumvit: Expat’s Brutal Wake-Up Call for Dreamers in Thailand
Someone that's been here a year or two has no knowledge to offer worth paying for unless it's in some arcane area that they've brought with them like dealing with taxes under no regime. Social media has consumed all the basic tips and tricks of noob arrivals.

More hopium from the guy with no life. Posts for hours in States. Allegedly returns to Thailand...same. Early in the thread I posted three or four links completely dismissing this possibility.
