thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News

I'm also in support of any President who cut, shut, THEN REVIEW AS THEY ARE DOING WITH USAIDS, W.H.O, NATO, UNITED NATION, ON AND ON AND ON! PERSONALLY IF THAT IS TOO PAINFUL FOR THE WORLD BE MY GUESS GO CHINA! AND WHEN YOU DO DON'T COME BACK! -
US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It was started with good intend but it has gone off the tracks like many other programs, it isn't any dictatorships the Adminitration is asking it to be the agency any agency that it is time to review these aids to make sure the money is going to where it is intended this is no different in your own household! So the saving can go first to those who fund the aid when we can help ourselves then we are better able to help others. There has been no indication that we are retracting from the world. What the U.S. is asking accountability for the money tax payor provide for these Aids, nothing more nothing less as you would in your personal life. -

It isn't a narrow view the more the U.S. the more we get blasted for nation building have some intend etc.. people around the world have their hands out and when U.S. ask for them to pay their share, be accountable it is what " narrow view " what is narrow in reality is your own view unable to get the big picture. I like you just want our tax money to go where it actually benefits for the intent have you even seen the list of donation or so call aid then you got a U.S. agency with employees who think the money comes from the world and not U.S. alone thumb their nose that they not need to be accountable. It is just USAid, more is coming even if this Adminitration doesn't get it all their way the message has been sent to everyone in the world. To those who seem to think China, is the answer go don't let the door hit you on the way out I say your choice go and live with it in time you will find out who is really the devil in sheep clothing. Any narrow view comes from you own bias! -

Right Bravo, the US gives 500 billion to the WHO which they in turn give Thailand like 10-15 million to help with the road death, what does Thailand leaders do every year for that money put up signs on the road yet after 20 years they are still top of the list. IS EVERY DEATH IN THAILAND ON THE ROAD THEN THE U.S. FAULT! -

German Dental Thappaya road
-
I had one done years ago, by German Dental forgot the Soi maybe mentioned already going up Thappaya Rd from 3rd road left side before the light. They did the crown years ago to save expense they drill through crown kill all the roots and fill hole back. I was schedule within 24 hours I think two season they have their own lab onsite can do crown 48 hours. Let me backtrack a bit, I was leaving for the US in a few days I was in lots of pain lots same day I walked in they inserted something like a time release pain killer into the area told good for a year it was a miracle as if nothing was wrong, came back two weeks after my trip had it done it might have been one day but I'm sure it took two appointments. This same crown they put in years earlier took 24 hours to make.

Speed greater mean that is fit for the safety on that road. Lack of commercial vehicle training. Lack of enforcement of driver qualification and inspection. -

I am leaving Thailand - yes taxes!!!
thailand49 replied to Celsius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I was just visiting my lawyers in Bangkok on another matter. During a break I ask them discussed the tax issue. Don't lose sleep over it. The chances of it happening is like slim and none as noted in many forums these so call tax experts are drumming up business opening a can of worms that don't need to be. I've been here near 20 years, I still file taxes back home very little in fact I get a refund not paid any State taxes. To each his own why burn your bridges yearly visit I use my Medicare plan schedule as many test I can schedule in my out of pocket is less than 20 bucks . -

Pattaya on pause: Plan ahead or lose the booze

Winners take in the Brown envelopes!🤑 -
The story might be different but the intend and result the same. I fail to see whether the bike was license or not resulting in the death of the pedestrian. The story " Pal " ? Meaning Path? Walkway speeding a violation is a violation as a pedestrian in a cross walk. You don't over or undertake a vehicle that has slow down especially over a100! If the bike was register what get less time for the violation nonsense. The story I got was his increase sentence then was reduced to home detention? My comment is whatever he gets should be consistent regardless of his skin color.
