Best option for "safe" entry at international airport?
This has been discussed forever on this forum. There are many who go to Thailand during the winters from northern countries for example. Its nothing new. The only thing I want is to have an answer to how long is too long, but so far there are no official rules - just whatever the IO decides when you arrive at the airport. That is the biggest problem right now. -

Pattaya Condos: History and Future
So, your own link, reposted by a Mod, states Pattaya is a "condo city" but in no way is there an oversupply of condo's. The government and developers have gauged the market forces just right, with supply meeting demand, and property values remaining buoyant. Yeah, right. It's a free for all here. They just keep building and building, more and more, and, according to you, this has absolutely zero effect on property prices. -

Report Wall Street to Sukhumvit: Expat’s Brutal Wake-Up Call for Dreamers in Thailand
I've read every post in this thread and I'm bewildered by the amount of apparently incorrect assumptions being made, given that nobody yet has actually read the book. I was heartened to read a couple of entries by someone who knows the author personally, and describes why this is genuine. I also observe recurring questions weekly here about visa extensions, 90-day reporting, TM30's, TM47s, border crossings, pink books, yellow books, bank accounts and relationships with Thais. All these things are probably either new or very different to our own cultures so any attempt to assist the steep learning curve that we all had - or are about to have - seems welcome to me. -

Leaving an inheritance to my Thai GIRLFRIEND.
Bank accounts and brokerage accounts in the US can be designated to be Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD). This is legal in almost every state. The funds will transfer to the designated beneficiaries upon proof of death. POD/TOD takes precedence over a will and does not have to go through probate. I assume that if a will contradicts the POD/TOD designated beneficiaries it would open a can of worms though. When I had my will made the lawyer made no mention of bank or brokerage accounts to avoid any conflict. Same with Thai assets, no mention in my US will and was advised to make a separate will in Thailand for Thai assets. I think this has been brought up before and is not available in Thailand unfortunately -

For People Who Need a Visa for Thailand, is it Possible to Enter on a Valid US Tourist Visa?
Not according to Google No, a valid US tourist visa does not allow entry into Thailand for visitors who would otherwise require a visa. Thailand has specific visa exemptions and on-arrival visa options for certain nationalities, but a US tourist visa is not one of them, according to the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Thailand. You must either be from a country that is exempt from needing a visa for Thailand, or obtain the appropriate Thai visa before traveling. It seems improbable, worth checking with the Thai Embassy in whichever country you currently reside?- 1

USA Trump's Deportation Drama: Polls Reveal Public Backlash
Still less illegals deportation than Biden. Perhaps the reason for ICE to arrest those without criminal records and based on physical appearance. Have to propped up the numbers to made it look good for the dear leader. So far, deportation is less than 1% of his promise of deporting 10-15 million immigrants living in USA. Trump Immigrant Removals Now 10 Percent Below Biden's ...
