If you have to live in Thailand because of finances you can make it work, however, if you have the finances, there are much, much nicer places.
Thailand continues to go down hill year after year.
Years pass before a new government is elected, because the old government did absolutely nothing while they were in power.
Change of attitude towards foreigners. Make sure to keep 500,000 baht topped up so you can visit for 60 days and spend all your money.
Did you ever think how many 1,000's of countries you can visit without that requirement?
Air pollution and over crowding getting worse and worse.
Costs rising.
Poor exchange rate.
Just reported 41% of all Thai's living paycheck to paycheck.
How in the world could anyone even predict the next 1, 5 or 10 years in Thailand or the challenges that may arise due to the decisions of the government?
Student uprisings are just the start.
They are finally learning life and their future doesn't look quite so great.
Did you ever think how many 1,000's of countries you can visit without that requirement?
Could you please post the list of the 1,000's of countries here for the information of the people who don't know about it?

Humans’ ability to adjust to change is not so good and declines as we get older.
Yes, this is a proven fact.

Well... difficult to agree 100% - obviously due to the above fact.
The young are more flexible and adaptable.
Is this not why we see more morose, whimpering and complaining people in the advanced age bracket?

Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the craps table. A very attractive blonde woman from South Alabama arrives and bets $20,000 on a single roll of dice. She says, "I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when I play topless."
With that, she strips to the waist, rolls the dice, and yells, "Come on, Southern girl needs new clothes!" As the dice bounce and come to a stop, she jumps up and down and squeals, "Yes! Yes! I won! I won!" She hugs each of the dealers, picks up her winnings, and her clothes, and quickly departs. The dealers stare at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asks, "What did she roll?" The other answers, "I don’t know, I thought you were watching."-

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich...
A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says… “Hang on! You're a duck!”"I see your eyes are working.” replies the duck.
"And you can talk!!” exclaims the barman.
"I see your ears are working, too.” says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly. Sorry about that.” says the barman, as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just, we don't get many a ducks in this pub. What are you doing around this way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road” explains the duck. "I'm a plasterer."
The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck, and wants to learn more. But takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. The duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, pays up, bids the barman a good day and leaves.
The same thing happens for two weeks.
Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"
"Sounds marvellous!” says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."
“Swell. I’m always looking for the next job.” says the duck. "Where is it?"
"At the circus.” says the barman.
"The circus?" repeats the duck.
"That's right.” replies the barman.
"The circus??” the duck asks again "...with, the big tent?”
"Yeah.” the barman replies.
"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" asks the duck.
"Of course.” the barman replies.
"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.
"That's right.” says the barman.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says… "What the f*&! would they want with a plasterer?!?!”

I pay my "IT savvy" friend that sold me my computer to help me.
Point is that I should not have to. A computer for the vast majority of people should be as easy to use as a DVD player, and require no more "upgrades" than one.
I go on TVF and e mail, download my photos and sort them, and use the edit function on W10 ( the only thing better than 7 ) and the slide show. Not everyone wants a computer sophisticated enough to reach Mars with, or do gaming.
If someone invented a machine that did that and used the tv for a screen ( just like a DVD player ), they'll be multi billionaires from all us oldies that only want a simple machine, not something that costs large, requires upgrades ( that stop happening ) and breaks after a few years.
Try to investigate the Chrome Book. It seems to be more of the type of machine you are looking for. But, please do find a user and try it out firsthand, before deciding.
Edit
No, a Computer will never be easy to use as a DVD player for the moment - if ever... I think that is impossible! - Even TV's are slowly 'heading' towards Computers, I feel.

I now little about how a computer works and no desire to learn. Everything I have read on these three pages makes me hate microsoft even more than I did before.
My windows 7 computer does everything I want and is easier to use than Windows 10, but of course they don't support it to force people like me to buy their inferior product.
I quite understand your frustrations. Unfortunately, today, whatever device you use, it requires a bit of 'insider knowledge' from the user.
Don't blame Microsoft, it is same all over! Don't you have an IT savvy friend who could give you a hand?
I myself help many of my friends, as much as I can... and enjoy doing it!

Here you will find a wee bit more information.
Open a command prompt and enter
slmgr /xpr
That tell's you the expiration date or if you are "Permanently Activated"
Permanently activated means your 10240 (this might show a newer version) has been updated to final and you have your free Windows 10 to keep using forever.
Also you could try this too.
Open a command prompt and enter
slmgr.vbs -dli and hit Enter.

In response to the invitation for a rather unusual *REUNION* of all-time greats:
*Newton* said he'd drop in.
*Socrates* said he'd think about it.
*Ohm* resisted the idea.
*Boyle* said he was under too much pressure.
*Darwin* said he'd wait to see what evolved.
*Pierre* and *Marie Curie* radiated enthusiasm.
*Volta* was electrified at the prospect.
*Pavlov* positively drooled at the thought.
*Ampere* was worried he wasn't current enough though alternately none were.
*Edison* thought it would be illuminating.
*Einstein* said it would be relatively easy to attend.
*Archimedes* was buoyant at the thought.
*Morse* said, "I'll be there on the dot. Can't stop now, must dash."
*Hertz* said he planned to attend with greater frequency in the future.
*Wilbur Wright* accepted, provided he and Orville could get a flight.
*Aryabhatta* said there were zero chances of him showing up.
*Marconi* said he would listen to the report on wireless.
*Pythagoras* refused because he thought that the organisers were not looking at the reunion from the right angle.

Be careful with those upgrade keys. I bought one on eBay earlier this year. It promised to upgrade from Windows 10 home to Pro without the loss of data and installed software. However, when I received it via an email, they wanted me to reinstall Windows from a link in the email. Using the link, it installed the home edition by default (I could see no way to change this), and then once done wouldn't accept the key to upgrade to Pro. Maybe if I was starting from scratch, and didn't mind reinstalling all my software again, it would have worked, but was useless for what I wanted it to do. Although it only cost few bucks, and I still want to do the upgrade, I'm loath to buy another cheap key unless knowing it will do what I want - be able to go into the Activation section of Settings and enter a key under "Change product key" to upgrade to Pro without the loss of any software. Anyone got any tips?
Did you try any of these methods?
(if possible, a clean install would be the best)
Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro
Before upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, make sure your device is up to date and running the most recent version of Windows 10 Home.
For more info about how to keep your PC updated, see Windows Update: FAQ.
To upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro and activate your device, you'll need a valid product key or a digital license for Windows 10 Pro.

An English professor wrote on the board: A woman without her man is nothing.
The class was then asked to punctuate the sentence.
The men wrote:
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote:
"A woman: without her, man is nothing."

A Cop Pulls a Little Old Lady Over for Speeding
Cop pulls over a little old lady and asks for her licence and registration. When she pulls out her wallet, he sees a handgun in her purse."Ma'am, is that a gun in your purse?"
"Yes, Officer, it's a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver."
"Please place that purse on the passenger seat, Ma'am, and don't make any sudden moves towards it. Do you have any other weapons I should know about?"
"Well, there's a Colt 1911 automatic in the glove compartment..."
"Okay, let's stay away from that side of the car. Anything else?"
"I got a .22 Derringer in my bra, but it's just a little peashooter. Wouldn't hurt a fly."
The cop sighs, and asks, "Do you have any other weapons on you?"
"What do you mean by 'on me'?"
"Ma'am, do you have any other weapons? Just tell me."
"Okay, there's a Mossberg 12 gauge pump action and an AK-47 in the trunk."
The cop pauses for a moment. "Ma'am, you have a revolver, a derringer, an automatic pistol, a shotgun, and an assault rifle, What are you so afraid of?"
"Not a goddamn thing."

A new Priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the Monsignor how he had done.
The Monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the Monsignor's advice.. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink... He proceeded to talk up a storm.Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his a55.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook. David slew Goliath; he did not kick the 5hit out of him..
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his a55.
10) We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'
11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it for this is my body." He did not say, "Eat me."
12) The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with the Cherry'.
13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

The Windows 10 Pro can be bought off eBay at a cheap rate.
Almost immediately the key is emailed once the payment is done.
