after 5 years in Pattaya, my Thai wife moved to the States when covid hit. So happy we got the last Emeritus flight out of Bangkok. From all the news I read daily, there hasn't been anyone caught coming across the border in two years.
The last French Canuk I met in Thailand scammed millions of bhats from expats in Hua Hin He sold himself as a land developer and was building homes on it. Maybe you know him. From Montreal. His name is Guyton Dube. You know him. A real piece of art.
