Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
One single poll is meaningless! Other polls are not showing a tie. On top of it, even this particular poll brand contradicts your claim! From your link: A new New York Times poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are tied in a nationwide survey of likely voters with Trump losing a point... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 -

Motorcycle Cuts in Front of Car, Causing Crash into Tree; Pattaya
What people don't realise is when that happens you don't hav the opportunity to make a choice - human instinctive reaction kicks in and you SWERVE whether you like it or not.THere is a driving choice that sometimes can be made - that is to apply the brakes and turn - unfortunately with antilock brakes it's hard to tell if the vehicle in the photo had it's brakes on or not. -

Switching from Non-Immigrant OA to Non-Immigrant O on basis of Retirement
Thanks for your reassurance Dr Jack. I wish I had switched a long time ago but I have been a bit concerned about compulsory medical insurance being introduced for O Visas too as it seems the next step. But I will switch and cross that bridge if it ever happens. Appreciate your feedback. You and others like Liquorice are doing a fantastic job supporting us all with your expertise through what can only be described as a minefield 🙏 -

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 -

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
