From the Information I have the are unregulated insurance with-in England and France. I was told by a broker that they are under investigation. Don't know if true or not.

They have voted to send this bill back to the house to be voted on. They said that the 2pm to 5pm band cause more consumption of alcohol and increased drunkenness, most agree it does nothing.

This has been going around China for months. Respiratory problems in the young and old They were talking about it last October 23. Some places in China went back into a lock down. Thailand reported an increase in respiratory and flu like symptom amongst the young and elderly in December. Plus, they are talking about record pollution levels in some large Thai cities, so maybe trying to deflect.

Why don't they do the same as the alcohol selling between 11 and 2 and 5 and 11, blame EVERYONE for the actions of a few and CLOSE ALL NIGHT CLUBS. That will stop the underage drinking.

I see quite a few Thais (men) taking a piss in public. In fact in the Soi, I used to live in. the people two doors up would have a party and the party goers would piss down the drain on the opposite side of the road. Never a problem or a word spoken by Thais living in the Soi.

I heard that, but wasn't sure about how much truth there was to it. Just in case I calculated that with my pension's income and with the B160,000 and without claiming any expenditure, such as rent, visa fees I would be required to pay B22,500. a year tax on my remaining income. But thanks for the heads up.

My pensions both state and military are taxed in the UK. Plus, I have a fixed exchange rate The UK has a tax treaty with Thailand.

I would have thought the incident involving the THAI police Officer and the Thai border guard having a shootout at a Thai restaurant over the affections of a Thai waitress working there, which resulted in one being shot in the leg and the other being shot in the head would have been more newsworthy.

Accused! Not sentenced. Still innocent till proven guilty.

I think your wife should be commended for teaching your son home economics. I believe household chores should be shared out amongst the people living in the home.

They can bring in ALL the safety measures they want, If the RTP are too lazy to police them, they won't make one bit of a difference.

Why did the boats go out? The forecast predicted STRONG WINDS AND ROUG WAVES due to the weather conditions.

except the ones who go around chopping up bodies, or kidnaping as those foreigner's have already paid into the police Songkran fund.

With you on that! Police always take the side of the Taxi mafia, and Thai bar owners. The incident where the tourist was dragged out of the taxi, If it hadn't been videoed and shown on social media, nothing would have happened to the taxi driver. They put big joke in charge of anti-corruption and he's the most corrupt amongst them. He was moved to an INACTIVE POST because of what he and his gang were getting up to in Bangkok's Go-Go Bars areas.

Big Joke will pursue it as there may be money in it.

Should know Thais never get involved in other people's disputes. leave that to the police, who usually will take the side of the taxi driver. Thai police idea of looking into something is to leave it 4 or 5 days and hope the foreigner forgets about it. If by chance the foreigner doesn't forget about it, then the taxi driver would have skipped the country, (according to the Thai police) And can we take a picture to show how happy you are with our investigation??????

It could be the captain's house. They are used to living in a cabin!

Agree, these dogs if not all dogs should be on a lead/leash when not behind a closed gate. But you never know what the owner does to them or how the owner treats them. My dog is as passive as you can get, never barks or gets aggressive towards anyone, except ONE guy on a motorbike and she barks at him like she hates him. So something has happened between them in the past, and dogs never forget. Terrible way for the man to die and the dogs should now be destroyed and the owner charged with manslaughter.

In England they held a forum about the wording of insurance policies and after reading every word of 1 or 2 insurance policies The head of English at Cambridge University said there are so many "HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW" paragraphs that totally contradict what it is you are being insured for and gives them under the law the right to refuse payment. The only people who could/would be able to fight it are the rich and/or famous.

If they are paying that amount, then that is for the school to provide paperwork and a fake attendance sheet, and/or to place B800,000 in their bank account and a little hand out to immigration.

It says he wants it implemented to cover the upcoming holiday period. Christmas and New Year. will ALL tourist be given an insurance card as they enter? Will their hospital bill be covered immediately, or they pay and claim it back? Like everything else here, a lot of gray areas.

Education Visas. and maybe retirement visas Local citizens passing off as employees of the school and visa agents. There are hundreds of these agencies in Pattaya.

t a good Indeed it dose happen in Europe. I was on redeployment leave from Germany. So, I tried my luck and loaded up a suitcase with lots of goodies. Got to Heathrow, nothing to declare, stopped checked. custom officer took half and left me half. His half was for the "staff Christmas party". (so he said). Mind you i still got through with 1,000 cigarettes and 2 one-liter bottles of whiskey and 2 one-liter bottles of vodka. guess the weight gave it away. Ha! this was back in the early 80s.

Plus depends on the time you arrive If you want to buy a bottle of Jameson's Irish, don't arrive after midnight, or you'll have to wait till 11am to buy it. Ha!
