iPhone 16 Launch Draws Large Crowds in Thailand
I didn't hear about that one but I don't doubt you , and I can't sat I'm surprised Apparently even the first smartphones that came onto the market had a greater computing power than that used to send the Apollo rockets to the moon. So what your average Somchai needs one for is totally beyond me as I doubt any of them progress far from face book or Tiktok, Likewise in the UK there is little need for such processing power on the average council estate. Motorcycles are another shining example, some of the larger ones develop as much power as a factory prepared GP race bike, controlling one is well beyond the capability of even the most experienced rider, and with all the speed limits and speed cameras in place these days what exactly is the point of a 1000cc machine when these days one half the size would suffice for anybody and a skilled trained rider would easily run rings round the poseurs that buy them on a 250 -

Switching from Non-Immigrant OA to Non-Immigrant O on basis of Retirement
That is an issue for many. Good you have excellent alternative. Clearly you are better off with a non O with the process you outlined in OP.- 1

Do you owe money?
But she is not a drain on anyone else as mentioned by @save the frogs, her money is for her to decide what to do with. And a huge pension must be waiting for her when she retires. -

Do you owe money?
I have a family member who is a medical doctor. Her finances have been a disaster her entire life. The only reason is isn’t broke is because of her huge income. But even after working as a doctor for decades, her net worth is almost zero. -

Thailand to borrow 2.59 trillion baht for 2025 budget
97.60 percent The United Kingdom recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 97.60 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. 122.30 percent The United States recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 122.30 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. I know the Thai economy is far from good, and the future is not looking so good, but looking at the above, I think we are better off in Thailand.- 1

Switching from Non-Immigrant OA to Non-Immigrant O on basis of Retirement
I have a global medical insurance policy (excluding USA) with £1 million of annual in-patient cover (policy issued in the U.K.) so over 100 times the ฿400,000 in-patient requirement being re-introduced for OA annual extensions. As it is not issued by one of the Thai panel insurers and I have no outpatient cover it is not accepted by Immigration. Completely bonkers in my opinion which is why I am ditching my O-A Visa. Having taken this policy out as a continuation policy of my employer scheme when I left employment many years ago I have no pre-existing conditions. If I tried to get medical insurance now with a new insurer I would have several exclusions. Buying an annual Thai medical insurance policy with a huge excess and medical exclusions makes it worthless as I will never claim on it.- 1

Do you owe money?
I think you will find it is your women who are bottomless pits and you project this onto the rest of us as it makes you feel better. You must have a very narrow set of experiences with women. What about women with good jobs, careers, etc, doctors, software engineers, and other professionals, who have their own incomes, I suspect they are out of your league and hence your limited view. Don't forget our mothers, sisters, and many of our other relatives are women and this is what you expect us to believe of them, no thanks. -

Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
I think the point some posters are trying to make is that it's laughable she wasn't sexually active in her relationships. How many ? who knows not the point. Clearly the woman was dating frequently ...yet couldn't hold a long term relationship. The discussion around all that is another topic in itself. How many actually registered because of her ? And how many real votes will that translate to. 340k visits to a website isn't much to brag about at all.. Relate that to how much money was donated to kamala in the beginning from regular people. Which in itself is only a portion of the donations. There is a chunk of the donations came from rich people as well. Who was sitting in all the private very expensive vip boxes at the convention ? They are donating millions with no want in return. ? Chris cuomo has talked about this in length but it was totally ignored by the media. Cenk from tyt also goes into this quite frequently..and he is pretty liberal. even ran for the dems. Even though impossible I know. The Taylor effect is tiny comparatively speaking.- 1

I Love Donald Trump
I think you are assuming there's a lot more going on under the hood than there actually is. -

Thai Baht Exchange Rate So Low How Are You Dealing With It?
I think the answer has to do with IMF rules and the way the respective currencies are managed. The BOT operates a managed floating exchange rate, aka the Dirty Float, whereas Vietnam operates a crawling peg. That means that the THB/USD exchange rate was allowed to strengthen because there was no intervention by the BOT, whereas the VND/USD rate was only allowed to move within a very tight range. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/crawlingpeg.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dirtyfloat.asp- 1
