I've never threatened to leave Thailand to go to Vietnam. I enjoy my lifestyle in Thailand. All I am saying is, Thailand can crackdown on foreigners all it likes. Thailand can make it harder for foreigners all it likes. Thailand can be xenophobic towards foreigners all it likes. Thailand can change its visa criteria all it likes. Thailand can ban agents. Thailand can freeze bank accounts, sim cards, whatever. Thailand can raise the 800k / 65k. Etc etc. If I don't like it, I'll go to my Plan B, which is Vietnam. I will go from Thailand expat, to Vietnam expat who visits Thailand as a tourist. I am not like most foreigners here where the Thai government says jump and I ask how high? I'm single. Never bought a property here. I have nothing I can't leave behind and head to the airport in 2 hours, with minimal losses. This is by choice. Many have imprisoned themselves here, and are now at the whim of the Thai government, but not me.
