It has nothing to do with foreigners living there it has to do with people living their illegally taking jobs away from Thai citizens. The Thai's are a welcoming culture which is why my wife & I are building a house there. They are a very proud people & want to protect their culture. I currently live in the US, I wish we were as strict on not letting illegals into our country. The Biden administration let in 20+ million unvetted illegals. Our country is quickly become a shithole country due to unchecked illegal immigration.

I understand completely. To be honest I hate to tie up the money but when I read posts like yours it just reminds me to suck it up & save the money. Wish you the best.

Thanks for the post this just verified why I am going to be getting a seven year retirement Visa when I arrive in 8 months. I don't particularly like the fact of having to put $800,000 baht into a bank account but it's better than having to deal with this crap. Years ago, a successful business friend taught me this mantra "it's not what it cost but what it's worth". I use this theory for everything I do, makes life much calmer. This coupled with my other belief that there's a difference between a need & a want. Now trying to explain that to my Thai wife not so easy. Lol

TSL & Associates, they have offices all over Thailand. It's owned/run by a brother & sister who speak fluent English as so do most of their employees. They aren't some shady service, they are well respected in Thailand.

We live in Khon Kaen, our house & car are paid for. We lead an upper middle class lifestyle on less than $1200 US per month.

Time to come up with a new way to strike fear into the population, we've already seen this story before. We all know it was bogus from day one.

Apparently many of you have never heard of free speech. Maybe where you live it is not allowed but with FB being an American company it is allowed. My suggestion is to ignore things you don't agree with then move on. Freedom of speech is no regulated to protect people's sensitive feelings. Suck it up!!!

As an international shipper we only use DHL.
