Ha ha ha. Why ask why? You should know this is Thailand. Nothing needs to make sense.

cool. Thanks i will look into that

@Jane **********

or an agent for 14,000 baht....

What exactly does registering do?

Other than (for usa) let them know where to send the tax due notice.

Ha ha ha. They would have done better across the board to just raise there fare slightly......for every ride in the kingdom.

They would have won so much more.......

I was on an ed visa. My school offered another year to me when it was coming to en end. I decided to go with a retirement visa instead.

Sounds like your school is the weak link.

@Dimitri *******

did you see it said “unless you want to

Live some places in bkk”

EVERYWHERE else in thailand is FAR cheaper.

There are jobs a available in nearly every province.

Again. I pay ฿5000 IN CHIANG MAI 1km from the old city.

It i move 12-15km out side of thebold city i can get a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a garden for 6-9k baht.

For 10k baht you get swimming pools and other “luxuries”.

There are many other options outside of bkk.

Loei, nan and phayao are even cheaper than chiang mai.

@Raquel *******

if you visited before then ypu should already know that $500-1000usd for a place to live it outrageous (unless you are planning to be in some places in bkk).

I pay ฿5000/month for my condo in chiang mai.

@Shane *********

give it time. Australia will have cases for years to come. I bet they are ine of the last countries to “get rid” of covids.

Time will tell

Get another ED visa. The schools in chiang mai are doing it no problem.

Probably better to get here fast as you may be able to get an additional education extension.

Always better to change when you are NOT on the covid exemptions.

Tick tock.
