  1. Have you seen Biden's new tax plan? It's a disaster. Trump doesn't feel like he's entitled to other peoples money and that means a whole lot to me. I can also stand not seeing my state of Colorado become a dumping ground for latin American peasants and infinity immigration. Unless you need to feel like a good person in your liberal American community or want government welfare there's no practical reason to vote for Democrats anymore.
  2. Trump pissed off all the right people and lowered my taxes. That's good enough for me.
  3. Nice job you idiots. Of course this was going to happen. Anyone with a brain can see how to fix this problem but no progress is ever made.
  4. Reading the comments on Twitter. "Phuket is basically the land of foreigners." 830 likes and goes on to explain how they're working and taking jobs, Thai's are only the hired help. (yeah that's the law dude!). Then this non-Thai women gets 550 likes with "remember my words, good Farang rarely exist in Thailand". It's goes on and on. Thai's are getting pissed in Phuket with mass tourism and I don't blame them honestly.
  5. that would be true but Thailand doesn't enforce any road rules whatsoever so everyone has given up long ago on such ideas. If you expect cars to stop for you and yield you will get hit with 100% certainty.
  6. That Twitter account is trying to cause trouble. They said he didn't check on the injured motorcyclist but cut the clip seconds before that would have happened. They also say "Farang again". He knows what he's doing. Btw, driver doesn't look European to me but it's hard to tell. Having said that the drivers didn't look too interested in the injured driver when the exited the car. Many Thai people behave this way to when they get into accidents too (slowly come out of the car and look around cautiously, notice the injured rider but inspect the car first etc...)
  7. She appears like an entitled b-atch in the video. Probably wasn't happy the guard didn't do exactly what she wanted and threw a fit. I think she got what she deserved.
  8. I was just curious so I Googled. This sounds like total BS to me. Sakong Nakhon seriously? Scrolling around on ventusky.com it says Mae Suai is only 28c right now. Maybe a weather front is moving in. Besides mountain peaks though, where is the coolest average temps in Thailand?
  9. Where is a min of 23c? Doi Inthanon is 23 now so maybe that's where they mean.
  10. I feel like the law holds more power in the minds of the Western person. There's a long history of "a mans word is his bond" and legal traditions that are part of the culture and pride of the people. I simply don't see that in Thailand and so I speculate you could get burned badly if you bring that mindset into Thailand with you and expect the same outcomes.
  11. The way others are explaining these laws it gives the impression effective land ownership is trivial and just a matter of a document signed at the land office. I wonder if the higher courts got involved they would rule such usufructs issued to foreigners are illegal.
  12. and there it is. I see land for sale in CM at ridiculous prices and yet the neighbors are all dirt poor and similar land is vacant for decades. I think it has to do with the gambling mindset of Thai people and magical thinking. 4 million is not a huge amount but 10 rai is a lot and imagine what you would need to put on it in order to make an ROI. If it was that valuable it would have been snatched up already.
  13. That's what they say here in Chiang Mai too! People from BKK are buying everything, hurry up before it's too late. It's true to an extent but clearly overstated from what I can tell.
