Are the Trump II firings just beginning?
Trump administration displeased with special envoy Witkoff - New York Post Could he be next for the chop? Reuters has reported on Witkoff's mistakes: Witkoff invited Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who is under US sanctions after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to his residence for dinner before a meeting at the White House. Republicans are unhappy that the Trump administration has turned too sharply toward Moscow as Witkoff participates in high-level meetings alone, relaying the Kremlin’s view to Trump but little on Kyiv’s views. That's left to Kellogg whose title was changed from special envoy for Ukraine and Russia to special envoy for Ukraine. The fact that Putin continues to demand four regions of Ukraine in the context of negotiations with the US and Ukraine suggests the ineffectiveness of Witkoff's efforts. -

Your photos are precisely the things that Thai is destroying and losing - it doesn't matter to many businessmen as now the majority of tourists come for the concrete and deckchairs. ...and BTW - why are you so close to that coral????? -

Travel Rising Prices, Broken Systems Dim Thailand’s Tourist Charm
"Never heard them complain about the air." - Interesting - I worked with a lot of Chinese people In Thailand for about 3 years and pollution was not on the conversation every now and then, but we lived in the South - They were very concerned about pollution in their home towns but the overriding impression I got was that they were largely unaware of the levels of pollution in Thailand at various times - but when made aware, would certainly avoid it. Furthermore, we know that tourism figures in the north are getting reduced at times of pollution. Chiang Mai in particular is concerned about low number during burning season. I also know Euro-Thai families with children who are desparate to leave the region for good. A couple of years ago - I did or rather started a tour of the North west - every single place I visited was totally empty - usually it was Thai people I"d expect to see but they were deserted - some places were actually closed in Umphang the only other tourists we saws was a small group pf Swedes. In Mae Hong Son eading for Chiang Mai, I turned back and headed South with a chest infection. However you seem to had had extansive conversations with Chinese tourists - You do realise that Chinese New Year is celebrated all over the country by both Thai Chinese and visitors but you seem to have worked out the difference - BTW do you speak Mandarin? -

PR question : Should I apply for work or family?
As long as you meet the requirements - such as 3 years paying Thai taxes on non-imm extensions, that part is covered. You have to show a salary for that time in Thailand, regardless - and the higher, the better. If applying based on family, the fee is 1/2, but you have to provide "family" paperwork - not just work-based paperwork - and may include DNA test to prove parentage (if you have Thai children). Many have said going for citizenship requires nearly the same effort, if married to a Thai - worth looking into, if you have not already. Those who are not married to a Thai must get PR prior to citizenship.
