Maybe the thief has been watching too many Mission Impossible films with jumps over rooves and chasms. ... Try a hang glider when the gap is 50 centimetres!

I'd ask them to change the Marriage Visa duration to 2 or more years and to put everything online relating to the visa.

I prefer the scams from Nigerian Princes. Sadly they seem to be dying out.

If strangers call me and don't talk about either fertiliser or hotels, I end the call there and then. Every call from a new number is potentially a scam nowadays.

Thaksin, since you'll be running the government ... please reform the Marriage Visa. I've been here for 40 years (38 years married to a Thai) and I still have to renew the visa annually. The process at Imm. takes an hour each year as the same information as last year has to be typed into a computer while the Officer is interrupted many times, and this usually spreads over their lunch hour so I have to wait an hour extra. Then the Imm. Police come to my home and ask for some of the same information and take the same photographs I have provided before asking the neighbours if we live in the house. Then we have to wait a month for approval, which we drive an hour to get from the provincial Imm. office. The system is making you and your fellows look like idiots.

The British Embassy doesn't help anybody under any circumstances on any day at any time and in any way. You're on your own if you're British and you need help.

The cremation is cheap. 3 monks. Pay them 200 Baht each and give them some food. No need for a week of partying Thai style. Give some money for the fuel. The main expense is the flight to Thailand. Get a VPN so as to reduce the UK airfare. Ampheur expense: maybe 100 Baht.

Sue Prawit for one of his (8,230) designer watches that he was given / lent.

I don't like Socialism or Communism, but it's occurred to me that my wife and I run Catdom with 25 rescued cats in that way. My wife and I are the dictators / leaders. The cats are told what to eat and the amount is controlled. The cats are all equal. They all sleep in "government-" controlled accommodation. The dictators act like the Cat Police and enforce their laws. The cats have no opportunity to elect their leaders as my wife and I control the power in Catdom. Elections are banned. Oh dear! I've become a dictator!

Americans are too dumb to know what Socialism is like. Kamala's price controls? Pure Communism. Good luck, Americans! "Derrrr! Ma bwain herts!" people.

Duties: 1. Absolve Thaksin of all crimes. 2. Absolve Yingluck of all crimes so she can return at once. 3. Sit back and let Thaksin run the country as he pleases.

But the thieves won't know that or believe you if you tell them this.

When a (black) scorpion appears in the garden it has to be killed because we have 25 cats that roam around during the day. The cats are all indoors at night though. My wife has been stung before and has said that it hurts tremendously.

My wife and I look after 25 rescued cats and have done so for 5 years. They are very quiet at night and are happy to have a safe place to sleep on soft beds. A cat sleeps next to my wife and me every night, maybe even 2 cats. We've never got ill from having the cats. 4 sleep in the main part of the house, 19 in the Cats Room, and 2 in very large cages outside because they prefer to stay there.

It doesn't matter. Trump will make all the points he wants to make regardless of the biased moderators. He goes off on tangents, so it doesn't matter what the questions are. Kamala will be mincemeat and screaming with anger at the end of the debate.

I won't buy anything Chinese as they break quickly. Chinese foods are likely to be toxic.

The government is creating new tourist visas and improving some. What about the annual Marriage Visa? I've been here 40 years and I still have to renew my Marriage Visa annually. In 22 years I'll be 90. Will I still have to drive an hour to Immigration and back (twice) and spend an hour in front of an official who has to fill in the same forms as in the previous year? Then will the Immigration Police still visit me at home and fill in similar forms and take the same photos that I have already provided? Assuming that my wife is still alive then. The Marriage Visa needs revamping and putting online.

Stupid people! I hope they enjoy (and survive) their 20-year stay in Khlong Prem prison.

I don't have one. If a foreigner marries a Pattaya / Bar Girl kind of woman, they should have one. My wife is different. She was a poor orphan working in a factory when we met. She helped me when I was going through hard times back then. Now we look after 25 cats together after 20+ years together.

The Elites can try as much as they wish to stop change and their power from being touched, but the people will eventually get their way. The winds of change will blow whatever you, they, or I say or want.

This is why I haven't insured my house. The insurance company will do all it can to avoid paying anything. Company: "I'm sorry! The wind was stronger than allowed by the policy." Insurer: "But there's nothing in the policy about wind speed." Company: "But it's implied. Read the fine print. It's on the line down here under the thick watermark in very light grey 1 pt font. Didn't you read it? ... No? ... Then that's your fault."

We haven't insured our house. Maybe we will one day. I don't know. I've never had a problem in any of the 3 houses we've owned and lived in over the years. For me, the problem isn't the insurance fee, it's the insurance companies. I don't trust them. If a fire occurred the insurance company would probably do all it could to avoid paying anything, and even then I might have to wait a year or two or more to get paid. I've read stories about what happens.

My wife doesn't have time to go out to work because we look after 25 rescued cats. This is a full-time job, except during their sleeping times. 😺 There's no work around here anyway, except weeding the edges of shrimp farm ponds.

Just bear in mind that when the Thai banks go belly up, which will probably happen when the global financial system collapses inevitably, each bank will only guarantee one million Baht of all your accounts in the bank. The rest of your money will be confiscated. Some Thai banks are reported to be silently in a spot of bother. If all your money is in stocks and banks, you might like to change your financial management strategy. You may be wealthy today, but much of your wealth could all disappear almost overnight.

George, you've just embarrassed and disgraced yourself, I think, by saying you laughed at an elderly person being pushed into a garden into mud. It doesn't matter what his profession is. You should have gone over to help him up: "Sir, let me help you up. Are you all right?" would have been the response of a civilised person..
