I might be coming back.....
There is no bitterness or jealousy. There is however, disgust at your lack of gratitude. Canada took you in and has provided opportunities, and yet in so many of your comments, you are critical of the nation and its generosity. Why keep Canadian citizenship if it is such a horrible nation? I did not renounce my my passport because I am grateful for my citizenship, something which you are obviously not. Yes, it is obvious that you enjoy exploiting a Canadian passport as a passport of convenience. An east European cultural predisposition to hateful bullying is demonstrated with the ladyboy comment. Perhaps, it is intended to offend me. The comment only reflects ignorant hate. -

Recent trip to UK with Qatar air- A very sad, heartbreaking visit.
The vast majority of immigration in UK is legal immigration. Those on visas have jumped through more hoops than expats do to stay in Thailand. The costs are now near £5000 for a 2.5 year visa. -

Health Covid Cases Spike in Thailand: 28,000 New Cases in Just Two Days
On the issue of masking protecting the wearer from COVID, there are many quality, credible studies out there on the topic. The U.S. government's Environmental Protection Agency did research on the subject early in the COVID pandemic, and one of their research efforts found the following: EPA Researchers Test Effectiveness of Face Masks, Disinfection Methods Against COVID-19 Published April 5, 2021 "In one study, the researchers sought to determine whether alternatives to high-efficiency N95 masks reserved for health care workers could offer similar protection for hospital personnel in the event of shortages. They tested the filtration ability of expired N95 masks, N95 masks that had been sterilized for reuse, and dozens of other face mask alternatives. The results show that both expired N95 masks and sterilized N95 masks provided the same level of protection as new N95 masks with greater than 95 percent filtration. Other alternatives provided less protection. For example, surgical masks with ties provided 71.5 percent filtration, while surgical masks with ear loops only provided 38.1 percent. Knowing the relative performance of alternatives to new N95 masks will help hospital administrators make evidence-based decisions to protect their staff." [emphasis added] Also: "In another study, the researchers examined the filtration ability of a variety of medical procedure masks, cloth masks and coverings recommended for the public. They tested masks made from cotton, nylon, and other materials and in different styles, including masks with ear loops and ties. They found that the effectiveness of the masks varied widely: a three-layer knitted cotton mask blocked an average of 26.5 percent of particles in the chamber, while a washed, two-layer woven nylon mask with a filter insert and metal nose bridge blocked 79 percent of particles on average. Other masks scored somewhere in between." https://www.epa.gov/sciencematters/epa-researchers-test-effectiveness-face-masks-disinfection-methods-against-covid-19 -

Why more retirees in Thailand are switching to long-term health insurance
Then for Americans, there's consideration of how much Medicare supplemental insurance to get. It can get costly with all the different options and then whether you will ever use it. But some of the supplemental is well worth it for long-term care. Conundrum.
