Have you met his wife? Why do you have any opinion of her? Why are you even dragging her into your absurd fight with him? Just curious...how old are you? You sound like a child.

Ruth *******

Lots of people are stating their favorites without stating why. That’s not useful to anyone.

and now, to drill down, where are your favorite areas of Bangkok? No, it’s not my post 🙂, but I’ve been to Thailand numerous times and I’m about to return. I’m looking for ideas.

What are the implications for a Thai-American dual citizen entering Thailand on a US passport and wishing to stay long-term?

Ruth *******

Are property prices in Thailand going down like in China, the USA, and Europe?

Ruth *******

As others have alluded to, your assumptions are suspect. There was a short dip in home prices in the U.S. as people waited for mortgages to come down. As folks came to realize they were not going to, the normal rise in prices resumed.

What should digital nomads know about Thailand's new Elite visa program?

Ruth *******

@Sean *********

only if you stay in Thailand for life. The difference between putting 800K in a bank and paying a similar amount for a visa is that if you leave Thailand after 5 years, you take that money with you.

I agree that switching to the monthly payments after a year makes more sense though.
