To anyone confused by this information posted in this group let me give you a clue. Focus more on the people commenting who are showing their face. You can go to jail for posting inaccurate information about Thailand online. Ignore the anon posts and focus on the ones who have a CLEAR identity. Those are the people who are confident in what they’re saying and experience and are willing to show their face. The other accounts can be old expats that don’t want ppl in a country that’s not even their own or shady agents try to get people to pay them three times the DTV fee to get in Thailand. Trust more in people telling their personal experience with a confirmed account and not an anonymous account or a troll account. 💯 I am posting this because I got my DTV visa and before anonymous accounts had me concerned with everything from you need $50k in the bank to they no longer issuing DTVs from Vietnam. All kinds on non sense. Majority of the time it’s not even Thai troll accounts. It’s old expats

What it's like when posting in groups... 🤣

Q: How many group members does it take to change light bulb ?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb'.

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.

22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jerks.

5 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is 'lamp'.

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that 'light bulb' is perfectly correct.

49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)

19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.

11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.

24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs

44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.

12 to post F.

8 to ask what F means.

7 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to.

15 to say "can't share"

2 to reply "can't share from a closed group"

36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.

15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.

6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"

4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".

13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".

5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.

1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.

20 to give up on fb and take their dogs for a walk instead.*

And then somebody announces they are leaving the group over the light bulb post, and someone replies back that this isn't an airport so you don't need to announce your departure.

This group is quickly turning into another bunch of snarky trolling pensioners. Is that the goal? I highly recommend requiring real names and faces for all group members, and banning those who have only negative trash talk. Otherwise another group will be started and the cycle continues... 🤦🙏👍

Thank you for turning off comments to my post. Your black letter interpretation of what constitutes visa advice leaves something to be desired. As you could see from the comments there is some confusion as to how the law re an essential aspect of qualifying for retirement is interpreted. If this is not the correct forum, perhaps you can advise a more suitable one.
