@Andy ******

Sorry, kind of got carried away.

@Phil *****

Just trying to keep afloat and not being too bad.

Always good to watch this group working for the benefit of all of us.

@Don ********

I'll take your word. Until now I've only got 2nd hand info.

Right, medical issues (I have already experienced some) would be a clear pro for just moving to the southern Thai provinces. Thanks for the input.

@Don ********

Thanks, will do. Bit worried about the Russian invasion though.

@Paul ******

Thanks for your research, but as an Austrian (and I think there are not many of us in this group) I will have to check the double taxation conditions with my financial authorities and maybe get some sort of "taxpayer certificate".

@Ken ******

Great research.

Thanks for your friendly words, maybe I'll get in touch. Hua Hin is not far from where I am living, but I guess the sea keeps the air cleaner.

@Ricky *******

Not my best choice of words, sorry. I just feel that the tendency towards xenophobia is on the rise again - powered by a disproportionately big number of articles and posts in all Thai media finding foreigners guilty for being rude, demeaning to Thais, working without permit, etc. Even in places I have been frequenting regularly in the last years I now often get 'mai mee, mai looh, mai dai' and the passive aggressive treatment. But then again, maybe I am just getting paranoid.
