Thank you Frank. I know it's a fair bit of work to figure this stuff out.

We are tossing up between the two. The DTV seems a bit confusing.

It's used in the same way Japanese use their rice wine to help balance the flavours (salt) in dishes that might have soy etc.

It's crazy isn't it. I'm still in a kind of disbelief.

I asked Siam Legal and they said there is a fee to extend after 180 days. Other than that I still don't get it.

@Alan *****

Oh damn. DTV looks better.

@Jon *********

Not cheap Jon. More likely we have all we need and we are thoughtful about our money. Everyone has different priorities. Mine is a quiet house with palm trees and bamboo and healthy food.

@Shane *******

If they're not poisoned by chemtrails etc.

I liked Bali in 1981. Too AUSSIE for me. I know people who've left Australia to go back to the old country, i.e Serbia, Croatia. Lots of pals in UK moved early: Bulgaria (no vaxxes), the wilds of France, Portugal. We are coming to Chiang Mai in about 2 months. I considered the new visa rather than non o plus extension but am not sure of it. The questions my Australian bank are now asking are beyond ludicrous. Need to find place to put modest amount of money.

@Shane *******

Leaving Australia for same reason.
