The THB120,000 threshold m u s t affect almost anyone on a Non-O (+ extension), or similar, who spends 180 days a year in country. That, unless they can prove dual taxation agreements with their home country. 120,000/12 = 10,000 = $281.00/month There is no one not begging on the streets who is living in Thailand on less than 281 dollars a month for 180 days or more. Not even in Pattaya behind a 7-11.

Like these people who approach and say ''Excuse me. Can I ask you a question?''. I immediately say ''No!'' and move on. They're trying to start a conversation which won't be in my interest. Being a basically helpful if savvy person, someone who asks me a question straight up I'll answer if I can or say ''Don't know sorry''.

In my experience it can be both or one or the other.

That's good to know. Thanks.

I was asking myself the same question. I can handle girls dressing up amore as boys as in the real tomboy version. But the other way round really ain't the boat I float in.

Looks like BKK's Soi Cowboy to me ...

Knowledgeable and competent people like General Milley. Who Trump wants executed for treason. Trump like all the authoritarian and dictatorial losers can't handle knowledgable competent people. They surround themselves with sycophants, which they burn through and destroy one after the other. Everyone who came close to Trump over the last few years at least is now in the pits, reputations and careers ruined. Despised by all decent folks. And finally rejected by Trump when they didn't kiss his ring. Sorry for the English English pun. He has himself, I have seen and heard him, issued the most dire threats to the US system of government and American society the country has ever seen. He's been very up front about it. Be careful what you wish for - you might just get it. And the sad MAGA acolytes are the ones who will suffer most under his 'policies'. Simply because they are the weakest and they're groveling at the feet of bullies.

''Inbound and outbound passenger terminals'' in a train station like this? What on Earth is that all about? (From the HH Today story.)

It's not even a question of the sex tourism reputation. That's a given with Pattaya and Patong. What really stinks and gets decent people angry is the under age trafficking and the official involvement and collusion in it. Who cares if the documentary is blocked in Thailand. The main thing is the rest of the world gets to see it.

A slightly belated thanks guys.

The Non-O not the O-A. Can't be bothered with that one. Doesn't really matter, but if there was a multi entry Non-O for retirement purposes available somewhere I'd go for it. Guess I'll just renew my extension next time I'm in country that's all.

Haven't been through Nong Khai in 20 years but back then at least it was very lovely and laid back.

Petchburi. Nice town. Nice places out of town close to the beach as well. BKK and HH in easy reach.

Cha Am, 30 minutes north of HH. Nice and relaxed, fairly 'Thai' and budget accommodation available. Can get busy at weekends and national holidays, but so does (all of) Prachuap. You can get reasonable and cheap digs in Pattaya and it can be a cheap place to live if you steer clear of the bars and gogogirls. Unfortunately you have to travel out of town if you want to swim in the sea.

Has anyone had any success or been given any official info on this visa type? It seems to have been placed under fatwah on e-visa sites even when in country of residence. Any feedback from bordering country embassies/consulates? The Thai embassy in Germany didn't respond to my email enquiry. Unusual, they were normally very customer oriented in my experience.

A Magical Mystery Tour - Phet Phet

He also hasn't told quite as many verifiable lies as the Trump.

Playing to the gallery to boost the fund.

They prefer dog<deleted>

Do yourself a favor and go see a good orthopaedist. Worth their weight in gold. Experience talking here.

All that also assumes there are no complications.

Utterly ludicrous.

Could be interesting for a side trip.

That's pretty aggressive behaviour - and the damage he's doing to himself can be turned on others in a flash. Carrying a knife and threatening suicide is a major red flag.

Yeah, especially after he told 'em all he was going for the food, temples and beaches
