How safe is the retirement visa as a strategy to live in Thailand permanently?
Addressed that in another post. I agree. I have never said "living" in Thailand on 30 day visa exemption stamps was an option. I asked about what extra "rights" does a retirement visa holder have that someone on a 30 day visa exemption stamp have, other than not having to leave Thailand and getting a 5 year driving license as opposed to a 2 year driving license. Simple question, really. Nothing paying an agent can't fix. Do you deny this? -

Wake Up! - EVs Are Here, and Your Gas Guzzler is on Life Support
Probably because I have never bothered to look for them, or fuel pumps either. Stations between CR and CM have one purpose only for me, servicing my bladder. -

How safe is the retirement visa as a strategy to live in Thailand permanently?
I just told you. Try to get a one year extension on your permission to stay in Thailand on a 1-year visa. I just told you. Sure if you want to pay a bunch of extra $$$$$ that those on the 1-year visa don't have to pay. Those on the Non-O / OA visas are out drinking and eating with that money, while those Visa exempt have to hand it to an agent in order to circumvent bank policy. AGAIN, without an agent, visa exempt you can't open a bank account. Having a yellow book, allowed me to use that# as a tax-ID, unfreeze a foreign bank account, and make a timely stock trade earning me $40,000 US. Without the yellow book ? Nope. The local RD office denied me a Thai TIN. Is that clear enough for you. So I ask you again, try to get a yellow book on a Visa exempt. Try. I just did. -

Intensifying Battle for 7-Eleven Reaches Thailand as CP Group Joins Bid
In reality the brand owner would readily support this because they get a % of the revenue and because it doesn't require further investment for equipment etc., in the stores. -

Russia’s economy is doomed
In 2022, I thought a Putsch by the military was possible; an unecessary war with Ukraine was threatening to degrade their carefully cultivated empires just as the new professional military was emerging, with new kit genuinely comparable to the West. I thought the relative non-involvement of the Russian Air Force meant something; you would have thought the war would have been started by Russia first dominating Ukrainian airspace, removing the need for much conflict between ground forces. The airforce, even now, largely operates from Russian air space, preserving its capabilities. Compare that to 1990 and 2003, where the Western coalition utterly pulverised Iraqi ground assets from the air, resulting in a quickly concluded groundwar and routing of the enemy. I had thought that the emerging Generals of the 2020s, following decades of close observation and genuine working with their western counterparts would have left a mark. But these Generals didn't get promoted because they were good at teir jobs, but because they were loyal to the boss (a process happening in the US now). They genuinely don't care about their commands, their men. They don't care that instead of T14 Armatas, their tank crews are now using 70 year old hulls with scallding bolted to them. and that battle buses are literally that; UAZ-452 Loaf vans, with all the literal sophistication of a 1959 Ford Thames Van, are now the main mode of transport into conflict. When Wellington said his army were the Scum of the Earth (in response to a Fremch comment that French soldiers were all highly educated), it was said as a source of pride. When a Russian talks of their army, its with much fear (when they go back home). Putin has taken a hybrid-Gaddafi approach to holding power. He knows that the Russian Revolution started among the Russian military (the Imperial Russian Navy I believe), so he has created an internal network of rival militas, such as the National Guard, reporting to him, not the Defence Ministry, meaning that makes any of them too weak to overthrow him. But the Wagner Mutiny showed that internally, Russian forces were paper thin, with, ironically, only the air force under a central unified command. I wish the Russian would stand up like they did in 1991. -

CP have to sell what's dictated in the franchise agreement, but they can add additional products if those products are within the business model. e.g. simple example they can add further fast toasted products, not on their current product list, but they can't sell cars.
