Is the DTV a better long-term visa option compared to the retirement visa in Thailand?

Steven *********

Is it safe to use a high-wattage extension lead for multiple appliances in a kitchen in Thailand?

Steven *********

no problem mate, I understand your dilemma but it's seriously not worth it..

All the best 👍🏻
