Politics Court Thwarts Thaksin's Trump Meeting: No Qatar Trip Allowed
Is it? it might be a repeat of his last overseas escape plan to avoid any nasty and upsetting criminal court findings against his holiness. If he didn't return, Thailand would be a better place without him - plus we wouldn't have to put up with the ongoing drama each and everyday of Thaksin this, Thaksin what ad infinitum. -

Trump Hails 'Full and Comprehensive' Trade Deal with UK Amid Modest Economic Expectations
You tell us. But I know you don't take notice daily, because you are that rich guy, living in a third world country paying advisers to do your stock trades, but trying to save a few dollars with a 7 hour stopover on a flight to the US. -

All vaccinated people will have higher probability to get infected. IMHO, This is another scam to sell vaccines. Health scare is the tool to control masses. -

Economy Vietnam Tourism Threat Looms: Could It Overtake Thailand?
the return rate for LOS is higher due to all the males going back for cheap sex and all the tourists from mainly 3rd world countries for the knock offs. I'll add the snow birds from Europe on that list as well. Viet Nam is better off in the long run without the mass, over tourism that has plague Thailand and all with it the pitfalls that come with it. -

retirement visa 'o' vs non 'o'
This is a comment that has my memory as its source. I think it is correct but I could be wrong. A retirement visa '0' expires after 20 years and medical insurance is required. No idea about other features. (A member posted that he went to the immigration office for some reason and discovered his o visa had expired. look for it on this site) A non 'o' is valid for 1 year and an extension must be applied for every year. 90 day reporting required (can be done online), exit/reentry stamps must be made for every trip out of the country or the visa is voided on exit (this costs 1000b at my local office and they give me a receipt). NO insurance required (at over 75 a big one for me). Some complicated financial conditions that I don't (have to) understand very well and avoid by keeping money on deposit that exceeds requirements. (we live on my small pension) This will be my wife's inheritance if we don't spend it. As a general comment I find the rules fairly easy to comply with and am thankful that a country as friendly as Thailand makes people like me welcome. I could not afford to live in a more costly country in the west. Also when reading and learning of the hate and fear so prevalent in the politics of the west it is a pleasure to live in a country of such tolerance of others. (I live in a small farming community in Isaan) That does not to say that I agree with the current policy of welcoming persons from countries currently at war with humanity. I speak of Russians and Israelis who are escaping war in their own countries but often seem to be bringing their xenophobic attitudes with them. In the case of Russian visitors they could well be criminals who fought in Ukraine, survived and were given freedom as their reward. Are these ex army persons given free visa on arrivals? I refer to public safety and criminality, not any other prejudices (such as anti semitic). I do not intend to offend, sorry if I have. (pic of morning walk🙏)
