yes concrete bricks but brick sized, of course not real bricks because that would be too expensive & Thais are cheap, they don’t even upgrade anything old and broken. Lot of hotels still use Dot-Matrix Printers. And yes they run rebar through them, doesn’t make it a good build, better quality in Tijuana. So talk with a brain rather than than that leftist American hater bs. Also you might consider visiting Thailand at least once & guessing you visit the land, not the prostitute bars as that’s your (lack of) intellect.
Thai buildings ‘are made’ out bricks. Ignorance is not bliss but experience is experience. The majority of Thai construction workers (99%) learned there trade from YouTube, same with computer, appliance, plumbing, electrical…..repair
Not a Visa, or retirement question but the lowly educated tourist. Luckily no “tourist” where I live in the entire province & nearly 6 hours drive in any direction.
Best just come using Thai embassy website. I never sought fb until Covid because the rules were changing so much. Just ignore groups and just come. Pattaya is more for either a certain type of tourist or a weathered foreigner that wants beach relaxation, same with Phuket.
You’re shipping commercial amounts. Stop being lazy & just fly back, buy there & pack in your carry on luggage. Say carry on because American TSA goes through all checked baggage & steals what they like.
