  1. They should hang these thugs, imho. What they are doing is worse than murder....deliberately ruining a person's life and she has to go on living it, disfigured. Jail is no good, but in 'slap on the wrist Thailand', a suspended sentence is probably the most that will happen.
  2. There's been a lot of talk about this. I am supportive of countries who wish to ban Japanese seafood because of this issue. But all nuclear plants discharge waste water into the ocean. It is only the quantity of waste water, not the radioactivity that is at issue here. Japan is releasing the water slowly over a long period of time, and the amount of radioactivity, or the concentration of radioactive tritium if you like, is way below what is regarded as safe by international authorities whose job it is to make recommendation on this. However, that said, this is a prudent move by Thailand and may result in more Geiger counters being purchased, so buy stocks in Geiger counter manufacturers. ????
  3. Pita has serious attitude issues. OK I'm taking my ball home.
  4. With Prayut having maxed out borrowing and with interest rates on the rise, they will have few options. I would favour taxing the rich, heavily.
  5. Jatuporn, a man not to be trusted too much ???? I'm not sure what people are supposed to see with CCTV but it is a gross violation of privacy, especially if he is really sick. Also doctors should not be discussing patient status with the press, it's an obscene invasion of privacy. Time to take the doctor's advice that he is sick and get over yourselves hounding the man.
  6. Can't they create lots more cabinet posts so more noses can get into the trough?
  7. It's due to the rise of a large anti-establishment group who realised belatedly that their government, military and media lies to them constantly. Trump as a victim of this conspiracy has profited from it.
  8. Great idea. Rejoin a club that will give you a really bad deal when you re-apply to join. Besides the EU is going down the toilet economically, why would you want to rejoin, you dopes?
  9. Touching, brings a tear to my eye. NOT. You horrid monster go going, and leave politics you wretch.
  10. They won't be in any hurry to have an election any time soon.
  11. Good idea. But I have read on here that visas are very difficult to get in some jurisdictions. There was a case on here very recently where a British man was asked for proof of $10000 (?) in his bank account. He gave up in the end. They need to sort out rules which I/Os need to follow. Get rid of this nonsense where every immigration office interprets the rules in different ways. The only decent way of getting a 90 day tourist visa is to come into the country on a visa waiver then extend it at the immigration local office near to where you stay.
  12. AS far as I know, you can spend any amount of time out of the country but you have to extend your visa each year on or before its anniversary and if you don't your visa is cancelled. Note that if you are not in Thailand for 180 days or more, you cannot claim residency, which may be an issue for taxes in your home state or country. You 90 day report clock restarts every time you enter Thailand, so you don't need to worry about that.
  13. I think you are missing the point.....this is the beginning of the process. But take a look at forecasts for 20 years hence, and BRICS will be a much bigger deal, and if Saudi ditches the petrodollar (which it will), the US loses its ability to finance its wars by printing money. The end is nigh.
  14. Great news. Let's hope it spreads and the world rids itself of the weaponised dollar in ASEAN.
  15. Some are in my name as the registered owner of one of our cars. And it's overdue for registration because we are away from home. I'll send a b-i-l to sort it out.
  16. What you are seeing are the international evaluations which are used by major corporations to set their COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) rate. These evaluations include the cost of housing and motoring. When I moved here in 2009, the apartment cost was over $14000 a month, and my car was around $4000 a month; the dollar yen rate was just over 80, now it is 146, (and one baht is 4 yen). There has been minimal inflation in Japan in the intervening years and so everything is about half price compared to 2009. If I divide everything I but in yen by 4 to arrive at the baht equivalent, the place is amazingly cheap, but then again I'm not paying for accommodation or transport. No pics of menus, I am in my living room, and I don't seem to have any menus lying around. You don't have to believe me, your ignorance of the prices here is your loss, not mine.
  17. I didn't pay my tickets by April 1st. Indeed I haven't paid them yet. Will they get me when I do the annual registration? I'll send someone else as I usually do.
  18. I am in Tokyo as I type this. It is far cheaper than Thailand for the vast majority of things you buy eg food, restaurants, wine, even supermarket beer at 25 baht for 500ml. cheap as chips as the Aussies say. Roppongi is a bargain.
  19. I think the police are using them to replace the BMW smart cars that haven't been used much for a couple of years. They are now called Smart Lambos and can catch overstayers very quickly. Watch out if you are from Liberia.
  20. Thank you for sharing your story, heartbreaking. I think you should look for someone else, then leave her if you can afford it. Even paying for a bit of affection is better than not having any at all.
  21. I don't think I would ever fly on an Indian airline of it was the last airline on earth. I imagine they bring livestock on board, chickens and things.
  22. The birthrate drop is breaking the trend line.
  23. If you sperm and reproductive capacity was damaged by the COVID vaccine or COVID itself, there is no guarantee that it will get better.
