so you seriously believe Thailand is currently in a position to 'dictate' its attractiveness to foreign investors and tourists? They are just trying to find ways to attract more source of incomes and investments, as other SEA countries do, and the DTV is just one of their 'tricks'. You're free to 'live in your own world' as well, but no need to always try to pretend that you own the one big truth all the time.
well, once again, allow me to disagree. We already discussed this in a previous post and our opinion simply diverge on the matter. That's okay, different opinions usually make the discussion more interesting anyway.
do you really believe people who learn Thai Cooking or Muay Thai are doing it to become professional chefs or One Championship pro fighters? Come on. Most are doing it for fun, and for the visa.
