Seriously, I see myself as neither; I am on an extended holiday. Me too. Since I own nothing and stay here at the pleasure of the Thai government (and the wife). Both the expat and immigrant has rights...

No need for any worry, but what guarantee do you have you can continue to live in your small house and drive your four year old car here, in the future. Hint: the answer isn't 800k in a Thai bank or 65k transfers every month. ????

And revolution won't happen, maybe a change of government (again). So what? You are, making dark and slightly silly hints at what you want to say., but I don't believe you have anything concrete in mind at all.... Asking for guarantees? Who would be green enough to believe you can do that in any life? As you said, no need to worry.
December 25, 20205 yr Yesterday, I got a wonderful Christmas present, my certificate of Naturalization. Enquiring about a discounted BTS card, the guy behind the window called me an alien and the guard wouldn't speak to me -after I asked him a question, replied to my wife. As a farang, I will always be thought of as an alien, although I'm not.

December 26, 20205 yr I feel like a Stranger in a Strange Land. Fortunately I manage to keep away from Ugly Americans as much as possible. For the last year I have been waking up feeling disoriented. Somehow I keep thinking the year is 1984. No longer am i the Lone Ranger . THEY are everywhere !! I have not had sex with any of my GF's as they all insist on masks covering any possible entry point where the atmosphere or my stethoscope might enter. Getting so bad that I called a meeting ( well, sent a FB message out)... calling is sooooo old school, you know. I called on all the living Animal Farm inhabitants to rise up and take back the land . Too late . Any Call to Arms is immediately censored by the Wag the Dog team. And believe me, they are wayyy beyond 5G. Word is they have 10 G or more capabilities ( well, according to the usual conspiracy theorists). So all in all life is a bowl of cherries. My meds come here punctually, delivered in record time by the ruling BigFarma Party. I voted for the BFD party, but haha was does it matter ? Sticky rice and lop isaan today. It is Saturday , the sun is shining, and news is out that the PTB are letting us out for an extra half hour today. Yaaaa Hooooooo !
