    Hmm, last time I looked the US hasn't imprisoned 1.5 million of it's own citizens (Uighers) in re-education camps.

     

    You may dislike the current incumbent of the White House, but try not to equate that with a totalitarian regime, locks up its political opponents and most certainly restricts free speech.

     

    It's thats what you prefer to the US system, I suggest you move to Xinjiang and see how that works out for you

    It is not just the current president...look at all your movie stars who were talking about weapons of mass destruction and brought war and death over many countries. The USA is the reason for many problems on this earth.

  2. The consequences from the virus will be fully obvious in a few month. Now even all the companies who are working for export still must pay their wages and other costs. If they cannot export goods they must transfer cash from outside. Otherwise the companies would crash. Of cause this cannot be done this way for a long time. Also some Thai companies who are producing or provide services for the local market still must pay for their costs. The owners are changing some USD or EUR in THB to cover these expenses. When they see that the actual situation will continue they will either close the companies or reduce all costs to a minimum. I think that the THB will come down, but it takes time.

    But maybe the economy will recover and everything return to normal... ???? Then the THB will become even stronger.

    No Immigration requirement for insurance on any of those alternative  approaches at this time.

    "at this time' - this is the point. You cannot rely on this. Everything here is changing quickly. You always should be prepared that you cannot stay here anymore. Don't invest here, don't buy any real estate, don't make any private plans here for long term.

    Well that's another billion plus potential tourists who are going to see this on the news and possibly think about not visiting Thailand. Then next month the TAT will release a drive to capture the Indonesian tourist market. Or the Mexican tourist market. Soon there won't be any countries left.

    There are so many Indians and Chinese more to come here. The number of tourists from these countries will increase enormous the next 10-15 years. What we see now is just the beginning. Europeans will loose their importance for the Thai tourism market.

    I agree! Me and my (German) wife will go the same way. We both have unlimited and worldwide health insurance already. On the one hand the additional health insurance with Pacific Cross is wasted money, but on the other hand it is the admission ticket to a retirement in Thailand...

    You should first study your insurance carefully. My German insurance (AXA) don't allow me to have another insurance simultaneously.
