Thx for Wiki link. I took a quick look. Sorting the data shows the most recent articles as 2010.

The health insurance requirement was 10 months left on policy in the early days (in case that has changed). The easy alternative was demonstrating $100K USD in some financial institution over a few years. So you don't/didn't really need insurance. BTW you don't need any money in a TH bank if you qualify under Wealthy Pensioner with $80k/year income.

Go Rooster!!!

Good to have a slightly southern wind.

I have not seen a BOI LTR count. Best guess is a few hundred. As a new program, it rolled out with fits and restarts. I know 2 two people with "wealthy pensioner" status from the first day or two. A more recent applicant has had a difficult time getting the system to work and phone calls answered. They seem very busy with something - not sure what.

It is interesting to see so may posts about Air Pollution. I agree. According to some experts speaking at Foreign Correspondents Club, the mortality associated with AQI is comparable to smoking. I choose not to smoke, but I do love Thailand...

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the Timeout site is suspect to me. One of the interesting links: https://www.nestpick.com/2050-climate-change-city-index/ is also suspect. Lots of data, but TBD accuracy

The acronym 'MICE' stands for 'Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions'. MICE is used to refer to a particular type of tourism in which large groups, usually planned well in advance, are brought together for some particular purpose.
