Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
You are making a good suggestion about starting to season the 800,000 baht in preparation for the Non Imm O visa if one were going to meet the financial requirements of the visa that way. I personally don't like tying up about $25,000 USD when I could have it invested earning stock dividends or interest, etc. I know a lot of banks are iffy on letting a foreigner open an account while there on just a visa exempt but I am sure it has been done and can be done with a little bank walking around. -

Where’s All the Dodgy Low-Budget Tourists Gone?
I must admit I had no problems with low season in past years (2004-2010). I went to Thailand in between jobs and never really planned the time I went there except a few times I did target the USA winter time. Thanksgiving and Christmas in warm Thailand really was pleasant. Remember all the girls dressing in red? In Pattaya you could actually easily cross beach road without getting run over. Soi Bukhao was peaceful. Soi Yume was barely paved! High season was nice also as it was a break from the cold winter weather if I had just finished working in a cold state here in the USA. Low season and hot was fine with me. Hotel pool, used to be able to swim in Jomtien beach water without getting sick. Too much runoff there now the last decade or so. -

Marines Deployed…
Thanks ,California is on thin Ice. Question Gemini ai: ”On the same note does the USA have a right to enforce federal Immigration law in California”? Yes, the U.S. federal government absolutely has the right to enforce federal immigration law in California. Here's why: Supremacy Clause: Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, known as the Supremacy Clause, establishes that federal laws made pursuant to the Constitution are the "supreme Law of the Land." This means that when federal and state laws conflict, federal law generally takes precedence. Further:Gemini AI. “On the same note if California obstructs federal authorities from enforcing immigration arrests , can the President send the national guard to protect federal buildings and federal agents” ? Answer in short Yes, “The President does have the legal authority to deploy federal forces to protect federal interests when state authorities are unable or unwilling to do so, especially when it involves obstruction of federal law enforcement through unrest”. -

Yes I am aware of all the long term stay options. I am now 68! Been going there since I was 47 and was so planning on doing the Non O once I hit 50. Then the US embassy stopped the Income affidavit letters. Such a shame as that was so convenient. That made it a pain to put money on deposit there or transfer money monthly especially if I was not going to be in country much. I almost bought the Elite Visa as I can afford it and it is somewhat of a convenient device but they changed that now and raised the price. Not sure how long I will be staying or coming or going. Most likely I will just do the 60 day visa exempt on arrival and do a 30 day extension. Do that twice a year with a gap in between. Then I will see how things go.- 1

Cases of Constipation and Hemorrhoids in Thailand?
Thanks for this quick reply! But what is it in their food (Thai and/or Isan food) that causes these problems? Would you know? I keep telling my wife to eat of the cereals I prepare myself in the morning. Sometimes she does, most of the time she reverts to Thai-Isan food. NB 1: the cereals I prepare myself with rolled oats (no sugar added), mixed with whatever nuts and dried fruits I can find. When I can, I include dried prunes (known to be a good laxative). I believe that's excellent food in the morning, and with that in the belly I can easily go until the afternoon! NB 2: I hear of several people in her village having cancer... -

Cases of Constipation and Hemorrhoids in Thailand?
The crap she eats will eventually give her colon cancer. In any other normal country the symptoms would be a tell tale sign to stop doing what harms you. But not in Thailand. My wife's friend had some cleaning staff who did not poo almost 1 month. They also thought it was normal and never told anyone about it. They died in the hospital.
