How does the climate of Miami compare to Bangkok?

Ruth *******

the climate is one of acceptance and caring for other people. If you don’t like those type of people, Thailand might not be the best choice.

How Can Expats in Thailand Find Information on Legal and Lifestyle Matters?

Ruth *******

@Nigel ********

that’s the problem. Some agents are terrific. Some are dishonest and don’t do things legally thus causing more problems. Just letting someone else handle things without learning the laws does not seem like a safe option. I feel Linz’s pain.

How many times can you apply for a non-O one year extension based on retirement?

Ruth *******

yeah, it’s social media and we’re all needing to read your childish, chest-puffing responses. As such, Roberto has every right to ask you to stop, as I do as well. If you want a private conversation, send a private message. This concludes your Social Media 101 tutorial.

What visa options are available for Australians moving to Thailand who don't qualify for a digital nomad visa?

Ruth *******

referencing "the doctor" or "the police" is not referring to a particular person. I've never heard someone say "the mother-in-law", but I'm curious to know if one also says "the father-in-law", since you've chosen to give that example :-).
