My wifey lost her job
When describing a resident of Thailand it is normally assumed "Chinese" refers to ethnicity. Just saying. Not trying to start an argument. -

Who lives on 20k a month ?
I did a little looking into the visa situation. If done through an agency, the DN visa (where one officially needs sponsorship) can be done without said sponsorship. Probably in a way that isn’t much different than how people in Thailand nurse an agent to get around the financial requirements for the “retirement” visa. One Vietnam visa website specifically addresses this in their FAQ section. https://www.getvisavietnam.com/vietnam-business-visa/ Yes, the visa laws can change in a heartbeat although I could see them becoming more open to retirees in the future with an official retiree visa which isn’t currently available…officially. However, Thailands visa laws can also change in a heartbeat as can their worldwide income taxation structure and as they treat capital gains (from non SET listed companies) like income rather than the way the US taxes them (0%….or 15% up to a very high limit), that is a dealbreaker (for me). With regards to their relationship with China, it appears (to me) that Thailand has a similar relationship with China. I see more Chinese tourists in Thailand than I am currently seeing here in Vietnam although I have seen a few of the busses that you mention. It is monsoon season currently so there aren’t that many tourists in general. The honking of horns is definitely an issue here in general but not nearly as bad as Hanoi in the Hoan Kiem area. So far, I haven’t seen any pollution on the beach (My Khe) and much less than I would see in Thailand in general scattered about the city. Let’s see what the future holds. Cheers -

I often live on 20k, the main reason is that I'm alone and not living a consumeristic life -

Thai Baht Expected to Slide to 35.50 per Dollar by 2025
I think that only happens in your head, but I notice that you are mostly absent from the forum, until there is a thread about THB exchange rate. Must be a very sensitive issue for you. I transferred enough money to Thailand to last another 30 - 40 years, so exchange rate changes don't bother me at all anymore. You should try it yourself, because exchange rates will change all the time, for the better or the worse, but it will relax your mind -

Trump’s ‘stunningly unqualified’ diplomatic team shapes up at breakneck speed
I see some are still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. I wish them well. Compared to Biden's diplomatic appointments, Trump is doing a stellar job at picking patriotic Americans to fill his cabinet. Trump is going to Make America Great Again.- 1
