@Steve *******

I have never trumpeted anything...nor do I wish to do so! I have better things to do with my life!

For me it is clear...One can either decide to take the covid vaccine or not. Whether someone else takes it or does not take it is of no interest nor concern to me!

This is as much as I wish to say here....I am done. I am bored with this and you. You will have to find someone else to make and fulfil your day. You must be an extraordinarily bored old man.

As an aside, you are too long in the tooth to be this stupid! I would say "Grow up" if there was the most Infinitesimal possibility of it having any impact...but unfortunately for you, it is far too late...some of us will NEVER grow up!

With that said, I am going to be magnificently magnanimous and step aside to let you have the last word....as an adult would do for a doddering and senile grandfather who likes to reminisce, hear his own voice, and have the last word!

However, I for one will NOT be reading your last response...but have a go at it...You can bray as loud as the silliest jackass but the effect will be as tremendous as a lone person on a beach farting carelessly in the wind!

@Steve *******

Amen! It is so strange but that was exactly what I was thinking about you! That is what "triggered" means!

I must admit though that you are great at projection...accusing others of what you are doing, what you are, or what you are experiencing!

Good luck! You must be fairly surrounded by friends with that most unpleasant attitude of yours!

@Jamie ******

Much appreciation and thanks Jamie...

- Did the Proof of Retirement income from the Canadian Embassy work for your long stay visa?

And how did the later process work to the question below?

- When did you apply for your 30 day extension (days remaining on your tourist vias).

I believe that you can do it the next day?

- And when did you apply for your over-50 long stay visa (day remaining on your visa)?

Thanks again.

@Jamie ******

Hi Jamie, Can you list the site where you had applied for that visitor E-visa in Canada. I have checked the Thai Embassy site in Ottawa but it does not show any e-visa. Thanks

@Steve *******

Oh Wow! Why are you so triggered? Get it or do not get it....that is your personal choice. No one cares whether you have had it done...so just leave those who do not want it alone!

You can also use a combination of the large amount and the pension.

@Jamie ******

As far as I know the Affidavit method affirming your pension by your embassy in Thailand (I will hazard a guess that you are probably Canadian) is a different ballgame. It allows you to apply from within Thailand for a Non-O (Retirement) Visa.

You will have to clarify what you mean by "take some out" as of course you will have to take some out (or all) to live on in Thailand and that account will be replenished monthly! But if you mean whether you can send large amounts back to your home country to pay bills there...that I do not know. Although I cannot see why that will be a problem if you can live on what you are left with in that account. The pension money being transferred in will show where the money is coming from...overseas.

I have absolutely no idea how you came up with that remark as "racist". Do you always see things as racist if that person's colour is different from yours? What if that person had been Black also....or Thai, or Indian......Would you have responded the same? Or is that just an automatic defensive mechanism....and does it work for you?

You should just grow up!

If a White person had made that same remark he or she would have gotten the same responses! Truth be told....no one looks at the photos of those who write here....I still have not looked at yours but just took a cursory look at your name above when I came across your remark! Your last name seems to be of African origin (but I could be wrong). But with Chris in front (also the name of my brother) I would make a wild guess and say that you are Nigerian....but I am likely wrong.

Here is the thing...Most expats that I know have left the West to get away from the stress and chaos there...including every conceivable thing being labelled as racist. Please do bring it here....leave it at home. Do not destroy paradise! No one here cares about the colour of your skin and the Thais will have little patience with it!

I believe that if they do not have proof of vaccination then they can do a recognized COVID test within 72 hours before they fly into Thailand. That is also acceptable as far as I know.
