1000 a day for going nothing does not sound too bad, people get greedy when big corporations are concerned.

Thais are a greedy nation in general

And nothing for damages?

what damages? are they the owners of the sea? who pays for damages caused by them?

I just closed the valve leading to the tank and use the pump without it. Is this really illegal?

I suppose she was in her 20's and you in your 50's or 60's, am I right? What did you expect? Let me say this clear, for all that still do not get this simple fact of life. She stayed with you, an old man in her grandfather's years, just for the money, and you paid her a nice rent and still did not realize this? This was not love, it does not work this way, young girls are not attracted to old chaps, neither are young boys attracted to old ladies. I repeat, what did you expect? It seems the older we are, the less sense for reality we have.

The answer is to buy only fresh food, not these powders that no one really knows what they might contain.

 

If you have a FCD account with a Thai bank then you can transfer your foreign currency into a Thai baht account on-line at the TT rate, there are no fees. Transfer money to a FCD account from an overseas bank is just that and is subject to fees by one or both banks. Use a FX trader and there are no fees you get the rate they offer you.

Yes, but there are some fees when you transfer from abroad to FCD in Thailand, I think about 1% in total.

EDITED: only for cash deposits/withdrawals, wire transfers should be as follows:

0.25% of total deposit amount

- In case of fee paid by baht , the minimum fee is 200 baht, the maximum fee is 500

- In case of fee paid by foreign currency, the minimum fee is 10 USD , the maximum fee is 25 USD

>Food 'safe' so far urine samples taken from volunteers doing cleanup on Samet.<

So they try to detect mercury which stays in the body and is not eliminated from body by performing urine tests? Great.

The 'Tech' at the Parmacy explained that my upper arm size was 46 cms and most 'Arm Bands' only go up too 42 cms.

Man, you must be seriously working out

take it as a way for them to search for possible problems with your health and a possible additional income for them

8. Reason to believe that entrance into the Kingdom was for the purpose of being involved in prostitution

Well, if they start to enforce this one, I am sure Pattaya (and Thailand as well) would surely loose about 90% of the tourists. The dirty sea and beaches will not be enough to drive high quality tourists in here.

Section 44 : No alien is authorized to take up residence in the Kingdom, if it appears that said alien

2. Is unable to earn his living because of mental defect or physical infirmity or having any diseases as prescribed by Ministerial Regulations.

Well, this one is a real nice one. So if you get a disease, your permanent residency goes down the drain, too.

graduates from University now get 15K per month

this now puts them in the tax paying group

more to come

no tax will be seen from 15K per month since with the personal allowance of 30,000 baht per taxpayer, 15,000 baht for each children, and 30,000 baht for each of taxpayers and spouses parents if such parent is above 60 years old and earns less than 30,000 baht, there is no tax to be paid in this salary group.

Thai Buddhism? A joke from the rich to keep the poor from killing them.

I am glad to hear that even the farang unfriendly laws can be avoided in this land of jokes

"A side-effect of using the drug is nausea."

And what about the side effects killing the immune system and in the end the user? Pharmaceutical fairy tales.

I can only second that.

...will offer protection for about one year....

I wonder how many will die from the side effects.

But the penalty seems quite high, resembling a loan shark's rate.

It makes sense to me.

Should not be a big problem to catch him in Germany when the plane lands then, or did I miss something?

Edit: After reading it again, it seems he did not board any flight so the above assumption is wrong

The point is you do not have to worry about your wife's assets since you do not have any rights for them. The only one who should be worried by this situation is you since if anything happens with her, you are doomed in here (as is everyone of us poor beggars with no rights in this country).
