Cambodia

Is a complete dump with high crime

The problem is that Thais have a reputation for overstaying , working illegally, not just in aus or USA but Uk too. In the uk it is estimated that 40% of Thais on tourist visas abused that status. Then the Uk crackdowned and the visa rejection rates are very high. The criteria is much stricter.

It’s more expensive than Thailand in many respects.

incorrect. I married my wife in London where I met her and had the British marriage certificate translated and notarised in the uk. This was accepted by the two banks I have and the amphur who issued my pink ID

@Frangipani ******

you don’t understand the difference between resident and citizen.

As betting is illegal, I bet 0 baht the site crashes first or second day.

@Frangipani ******

I have explained very clearly, I am documented as a resident by the amphur , which you ignored. Your focus on just the tax and nothing else is frankly illustrating your ignorance

@Frangipani ******

having resided here for many years , married to a Thai with children I think I’m far more knowledgeable than you on this subject.

@Frangipani ******

wrong. You’re a Thai citizen if you have a passport. You can be resident in Thailand with a non Thai passport, like many people are that reside here over 180 days in a calendar year. I’m resident according to immigration , tax and revenue, the government hospital and my local amphur who issued my pink ID. Why you find that hard to understand illustrates your cognitive dissonance perfectly
