  1. Oh, sorry. I did not know that "Time" belongs to the pro Trump fake news media.
  2. So true! https://time.com/6320076/american-poverty-levels-state-by-state/ Four more years! 🙂
  3. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/16/politics/trump-bloodbath-auto-industry-election/index.html Even CNN seems to understand what Trump was talking about 🙂
  4. "bloodbath"? Trump predicts a civil war if he will not be elected? The devil is orange! Really? It's the context, stupids!
  5. @richard_smith237 thank you very much. I'll find out which DL she has.
  6. Hi all, I'd like to take my Thai GF to Europe (EU) for a longer holiday and here's my question: Is she allowed to drive a car there with her Thai drivers licence? If yes, does she need something else (such as translation or an international driving licence)? Sorry if I took the wrong sub forum. Thanks for your replies and have a nice day.

  8. Bad in the short run, but it was high time to stop the only cash-driven groth. Necessary to fight inflation and at least good for millions of small savers who don't have the options that wealthy people have and who are those to see their savings melting away day by day. Remeber times where interest rates were much higher than now and it did not endanger groth. Becaus it was not only driven by expending the money supply.
  9. So if you name facts as above you're a vaccine and Covid denier? Or could it be you're a reality denier?
  10. What's so bad? inpolite IOs? The burocracy? agree. What else? The once a year visit at the office where you have to manage the crowded place to get your extension? 90days report which can be done online (if it works)? The "horrible" 1900 THB? Really? As told before: 400/800k requirement has not changed as long as I can remember. Where are the comparable countries with lower requirements? ´What we all have to accept is that we're (longtime) guests in Thailand, not god's gift to the country.
  11. A first world destination? With first world requirements for retirees too? I can already hear the screaming ????
  12. No doubt, there are moronic IOs, different "requirements" in different provinces and many foreigners had bad experiences with the crazy burocracy. But let's be realistic: Thailand still is one of the most easy countries to retire to, especially for people on the lower range of income. The 800/400k bank thing has not changed since ages. Back to the "good old days", when people, who did not qualify for a correct visa or a retirement extension made monthly border runs for years? Would one of us want to have those people living in our home countries? I think, for each one who reports here about problems with IO, there's another one doing his yearly extensions without problems, but that usually will not be posted. I stay here a long time now and never ever had any problem with visa and - later - extensions. Some IOs were more polite, others less. My decision to leave Thailand when my son is old enough to study abroad comes not from bad IOs or the feeling "they don't want us", but from the political situation, the pollution, environmental problems and a climate, that fits less for me than in earlier years. I'm still grateful to Thailand and it's people for the very good time I had and still have here.
  13. Immigration in each country deals with whom? Right, they deal with foreign nationals. Does the IO in your home country speak Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic or Kisuaheli to deal with the foreigenrs in front of him?
