  1. Please cite your extensive knowledge or source for such a statement.
  2. 350,000 a month net, seems pretty good to me. Certainly enough to live on and have a decent life. I wouldn't be complaining too loud, and you may get a tax refund if you document your situation.
  3. I am so worried about possible corruption at banks here in Thailand given the minuscule insurance protection on bank accounts.
  4. Thai law is 'farang lose in court'. This is all you need to know.
  5. People should not go to other countries with 250 baht in their pockets, they should have enough money for their stay. Beggars like this, and the GoFundMe crowd make me sick. they are parasites. They should not be allowed in the country, expecting the poor locals to support them with hand outs.
  6. Very neighbourly, but sad it didn't help much.
  7. I don't disagree....and I do hope he is adequately punished and not let off with a way and a 200 baht fine.
  8. When I was a young man, it was very common for thugs and bullies to go out on a Friday night to drink a gallon of beer and have punch up. I managed to avoid the fisticuffs most of the time, but was once a victim of such a gang in an awful incident where the thuggish gang waited outside a late night drinking club for me and my mates. Fortunately I ended up with only a few bruises and a few stitches. The scars are not easily visible, one under the chin and another in my eyebrow.

    Rayong

    I haven't been there in years. I considered Mae Him as a home location when I first came here and drove around but they had problems on the beach with off shore pollution being blown in and then all the restaurants along the water side burned dow. I do hope it has recovered.
  10. Isn't 'Brit scum' in the headline offensive and racist language?
  11. Is he trying ineffectually to frighten Parliament into voting for this monstrous waste of Thailand's future?
  12. I dislike 'might be or could be' headlines. Tell me when it happens, not what might happen.
  13. How on earth do you know what I would say ion she were a man? Can you mind read? Of course not, you are blowharding. As it turns out I wouldn't say that if she were a man. I think prison should not be an option for the aged. Italy had a law (maybe still do) that over the age of 75 you can not be imprisoned.
  14. Teenagers are weird. My two sons are in their 40s and outstandingly successful. Neither did well at school and wasted their teens and 20s on booze and drugs. Both went through addiction therapy, one for heroin and one for alcohol. Sadly it took for them both to hit rock bottom before they realised that they had a problem....my younger son's g/f died off a heroin overdose and my older son's career as a chef crashed and he went to AA. Both got off their habits so it can be done....alcohol is probably more difficult because it is advertised everywhere and very accessible, whereas heroin you have to seek out. Essentially both programs require you to reconstruct your life, getting a regular job, getting into a strong relationship, and saying sorry to all the people you have hurt during your life. They have both been clean for more than 15 years. A likely problem you will encounter is that your son will not listen to you until he, himself, comes to the realisation that he has a huge problem. Talk to him about even even though he won't listen....eventually the message will get through and he'll have a shot at a decent life. There is zero help being a gambler.
  15. Attack the points Mr Bean raised, not ZH. ZH is a financial site not an extreme right wing site. It published news you will not see elsewhere, because of establishment censorship, read it, you might learn something. Your assertion that Mr Bean is wrong about H2 is based on what exactly? That you have a counter-view and always have the last word on science? If it is so simple to dispel in a few line why have Toyota not employed you? . I'd back Toyota over you. They have a record of extreme success.....how about you?
  16. You make laws and people find a way around them if it costs money. Historically Chinese have been very strong traders and witness their success around the globe, winning, not by force of arms, but by trading, legally or no. I was once in charge of a sales force in the US and we had to come up with incentive plans for the force. Within a couple of hours of announcing plans members of the sales force had figured out how to get round the obstacles in the plan and to inflate their bonuses. Same with the Chinese (or Americans) sign a deal with them and within hours they have found a way to gain an advantage at your expense.
  17. Anything but get a job. What is it with Thai sons and jobs?
  18. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mr-bean-was-right-and-so-was-toyota Comment from US.
  19. Why do you think happens. Immigration officers nail you to a cross outside the office and passersby thrown poison laced darts at you. The chop off your head at sundown and put it on a pike and ravens come and eat your eyeballs. Good job it was only two days late, or you'd really been in T-rubble!!!!
  20. Put you gamma globulins to work and eat it. Lots of it, bathe in it, inhale it, roll about in it like it was a dead snake and you were a dog.
  21. Don't even think about it....I patented it and have full IP and copyright....
  22. Let her off. She old and in a wheelchair, she needs prison like she needs a hole in the head. Give her a caution and a 200 baht fine and get some rich policemen to send her some money so she doesn't;t have to deal drugs. If she has sons who are not working throw them in jail instead.
  23. Well I think you need about 3 million a year for comfortable life so multiply that by 35 years and then factor in inflation at 5 % average.....so the 3 million grows to 6 million a year in 15 years. and 12 million after 30 years. I don't know because I can't do this <deleted> in my head anymore and I don't want to pull up a calculator....but it's roughly 257 million baht. If he only lives 30 years then it falls to 192 million baht.
  24. Berry picking.....all that healthy walking around the ancient forests collecting berries and you get paid for it. If they called it a spa you'd be there running around eating nothing but nuts and berries and be thin as a rake in no time....and you expect to be paid on top of all the good benefits you are getting. Get away wit ya'
