Building my Lucy Box as we speak. Everybody OK with the 5¢? Gotta cover air fare, accommodations and food. 😉

I’m a trained crisis counselor. Can I help? 😉

Check with your local immigration office on this one. Some IOs care about where the money comes from, and others could care less.

Apparently, a law against frivolous lawsuits doesn’t exist here. 😳

Not even that is uniform among IOs. Check with your local IO.

If not having LIQUIDITY is a problem, Thai Elite Visa is not the solution.

So where are you today? Here or there?

Up until the outbreak, tourism was estimated to be responsible for 12-20% of Thailand’s GDP, depending on which source you looked at.

Now, the pervasive narrative is that the total economy is expected to tank, primarily because of the loss of tourism.

Suddenly tourism is responsible for the majority of the Thai economy? Enough to bring the whole country to its knees?

Statisticians, doomsayers, soothsayers: which is it? 😳

This is the first time I’ve heard of foreigners with marriage/family ties in Thailand being part of the first group to be allowed to return.

I’ve been reading some pretty sad stories lately of particularly husbands and fathers stuck in this dismal and distributing situation. Most were traveling for business or other legitimate purposes when the bamboo curtain came down.

Encouraging sign.
