Why do some long-term expats in Thailand not learn the Thai language?

Robert ********

I lived in Isaan for 5 years. The villagers were confused I wanted to learn only Thai and not Isaan. My Thai just caused a confused look on their face. Trying to speak Thai in a tourist destination is easier as they understand farang-Thai better.

I fly with Eva. Last time was mid July. I never bother booking the seat until online checking opens. Never had an issue. The seats are actually very good.

What experiences have others had with obtaining the Non-Immigrant OA visa medical certificate for Thailand?

Robert ********

I just go to a private GP and they eyeball me. Those are chronic illnesses that would be evident. Of course if you go to a private hospital they will be only too glad to give you £££ worth of tests and waiting time. Nobody is going to follow up anyway.
