There is a free seminar on KYC in Asia on Thursday. It is aimed at lenders but should be of interest :-) :-)

There is a school in Chiang Mai combines the languages with cultural activities to qualify for the DTV.

You need to state your location.

Yes - basically a lower level LTR would be good. Less barriers to entry but still enought for money and growth into the Thai economy through taxation and spending. The SP could be for as long as course running. That is basically what the Thais were talking about. They were pissed off about Visas and vists to the West though. :-) :-) I understand their point. I have not taken my Thai friends to weddings in USA and UK over the visa thing.

Oh I do not talk to him. Just know who it is and his background. I am a bit Lord Snooty who I mix with here lol

@Donna *****

Without getting into the whole banking thing it is obvious the DTV was a rush job and badly implemented. The Thais in my office were all talking about it when initiated and came up with better options over lunch. This included min income brought into Thailand so it could be taxed but with benefits like bank accounts and maybe even Social Security ( I thought thst a bridge too far). They would have separated the Soft Power and Workaytion completely. The main complaint was about too easy to get and they have to jump through hoops to get visas elsewhere. These were professional Thais earning a decent salary.

It was an initial report from Pattaya News. If they said the sky was blue I would look out the window to check
