There would be freedom of movement of individuals they said. Then came the compliance/money laundering charade, and individuals got denied bank accounts except in their homeland, and then only provided they stayed to reside there.
Soon we will have as much liberty of movement as the people in the UDSSR during the cold war. This will be achieved through the denial of banking services.
Except It should not be for any "people" to decide what herb I grow and smoke and cook with.
Governments should stay out of what people decide to take into their bodies.
The debate about drugs - and the war on them - should never have existed.
I tried several such apps over the past few years. Some apps (like "SayHi") worked well for some time, then the script kids couldn't leave well enough alone and ruined it. In the end I always fell back on Google Translate as it has been the app yielding the most consistent results. This is not to say the script kids are not trying to ruin Google Translate. For instance in the past Google Translate could capture a written sentence in Thai and send it (in Thai) to the translator page. Now no more. It only captures the English translation (which I need not capture since "seeing" it is more than enough).
To summarize: Google Translate is the app with the least poor results.
Didn't Thailand sign the 1968 Vienna as well? Because you can now get a 3-year International Permit in Thailand (in order to drive in the EU with your Thai driving license).
I am 99% sure the 1-year reporting requirement works like the 90-day reporting, only with 1 year instead of 90 days. Every time you come back to Thailand the clock gets reset. It would make little sense if it were otherwise.
Same with me back then. They can't stamp an LTR until the previous visa is cancelled. But you can choose to have your current visa cancelled on the same day and at the same place you get the LTR stamp, which is what anyone in their right mind would choose anyway.
My understanding was that it needed to be cash over 12 months, never mind which kind of account (current account, savings account, brokerage account). It then became an issue of showing at least 12 statements of account for at least 12 consecutive months up to the present.
I am just emerging from 10 days with flu-like symptoms. Fever, aches, nausea, some coughing, sniffles, nightmares. Very unpleasant. Covid was negative. Bad-ass virus.
