My question was "is". Present tense. You said " western world". Now you say "UK". Point in question is being proven.

Not rude. Your above post proves you've changed your stance, something you do quite often. What is "a while"? Young people from western countries can stay 30 days when they "just fly" to Thailand. Now, back to my question. A western guy, under 50, not wishing to work and not married to a Thai. How easy is it for them to live in Thailand for a long time?

Not unpleasant. Not arguing. You've changed your stance. Simple.

You said "live". "Live" and "stay a while" are not the same. But hey, move the goalposts to suit your agenda. No problem. Why break a habit of a lifetime?

Married to a western country national, study, work, single but with money in the bank. The requirements are similar with the exception of age. How about a western man, under 50, not married and not working, trying to live permanently in Thailand?

Did you miss the bit about turning up on a leaky boat, or did you ignore it because it doesn't fit your agenda? My wife's application to settle in UK was very smooth. She's Thai. What's your point?

Why are you quoting me and taking about me in the third person? Seems your passion for IMF forecasts is getting to you. ????????????

Yet my post was about IMF forecasts. No particular one. IMF forecasts in general. I made no point on which ones, involving which countries or what forecasts. You took exception. Why?

Yes. You've now quoted an edited post. A bit trigger happy there.

You've already pointed out the IMF forecasts on both comments are " exactly" the same.

I was talking about IMF forecasts.

Seeing as the source was the same, it would make sense the figures were the same. Doesn't make it any more accurate. I don't see the point you are trying to make.

And all the recent forecasts by IMF with regards to economic growth have been spot on, haven't they?????????????

Are you changing jobs or staying at the same school? Will your last waiver have expired by the time you need to apply for extension of stay and work permit? The last time I applied for an extension and work permit, same job as previous year, my waiver only had 3 months validity. Even though I was applying for a year extention and WP, it wasn't an issue.

I don't see why you should think so. You could scroll past or hit ignore. Besides, I think it's best to see his posts on the open forum. That way, everyone can see him for what he is

For a troll to view me as a fool is no hardship at all. In fact, it's like wetting yourself whilst wearing a dark suit. It gives you a warm feeling but no one notices. Oh, such irony.

Bad journalism. Satuk is in Buriram. Not Surin. The article even cites Buriram News, on Facebook, as the source of the photo.

" inadequate"?. Looks like Google translate dished out the incorrect word. Never mind.

Oh dear. It's seems you are the immigrant troll.

In that, we are in agreement. However, your post was regarding immigrant communities.

Because they are not immigrants.

Not in dispute at all. Have never said so. I was I intrigued by you talking about immigrant communities in the same breath as Scots, Welsh and Irish. A strange comparison. By the way, you must have missed the bit where I acknowledged the mis use of " all the time". Still, it's not unusual for you to suffer from selective reading.

That's a great twist. I'm surprised you didn't trip over your own feet, although you may have done. I admit my terminology was inaccurte. You did say" always spoken their own language". Strangley, I was speaking to a Welshman recently. He didn't speak Welsh. ( you have to accept that as legitimate as personal experiences are allowed now) .I've read that Welsh is such a dying language they're bringing Welsh classes to schools. Hardly them speaking " always in Welsh". Anyway, you referred to immigrant communities. The Scots and Welsh would love to be called " immigrants", I'm sure. Now, that link you have to immigrant communities have "always spoken their own language". Not sure what lesson you are trying to teach. What ever it is you need to try harder.

Thanks. Where's the bit about "for centuries" and " spoke thier own language all of the time".
