  1. Had a similar experience with my extension (ED Visa) there too about 3 weeks ago. Maybe even with the same officer. I have no problems with being tested, but that they can make up the test out of the blue without any regard what you really learned pisses me really off. What these people want to proof? That they are not corrupt? 555. Shitty typical Thai attitude to blame their wrongdoings on the "victims". The whole visa system is like it is because for decades they misused the system to skim off as much money as possible and now they shitting their pants that everything comes out and they get punished. Maybe the head bosses should investigate the assets of certain officers and have a look into which schools have unusual high passing grades of the test because I am sure that they figured out already another way to get paid by the schools.

  2. This new law will only effect the middle and lower classes; The largest landholder is exempt from paying taxes anyway.


    This is not true. The family which owns the most land in Thailand owns about 20 times as much land as the CPB.

  3. A bitter pill to swallow for some but a long overdue step in the right direction. And a big thumps up for a tax based on sugar content. This has the potential to save many lives.

  4. Thailand has the EU by the short & curlies.

    EU is in an economic funk,the Euro is going down ,unemployment going up & being pressured by US to further sanction Russia which will mean further economic disaster.

    European countries have a trade advantage with Thailand so they are only paying "lip service" to democracy.

    Many sources I see the EU will fall apart as Europe has to choose between War or trade.

    Germany will not go along with further sanctions against Russia..in fact there are rumours Germany will leave the EU & join the new BRICS system & as Europe's economic powerhouse Germany would be better off without the economic basket cases of Greece,Italy,Spain etc.

    France will follow the next day as 90% of France's debt is owned by Germany.

    The EU is hardly united.

    What Thailand needs to do is all trade with Europe will be in Baht & Euros.

    If you read the news today you will realise that Germany is calling for more economic sanctions against Russia.

  5. "Associate Professor Yongyuth Chalamwong, research director on labour development at the Thailand Development Research Institute, said many migrant workers also preferred to have their children working."

    Utter <deleted>. Which parents do not want a better future for their children? And "even" the Cambodians know that the best way to achieve that is through education. But sometimes the time spent to aquire education can be wasted time. Just look at my quiote.

  6. I have lived in Korat, Muang for almost 5 years and I have never seen a kid begging.

    I have seen the odd one selling flowers or food snacks around the restaurants, but I wouldn't call it begging.

    There are more adult beggers around stinking of whiskey than anything else.

    I give them 10 baht to get rid of them and my wife hates it, but for 10 baht I can't continue my meal in peace. I usually defuse her by saying 'don't criticise others until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because you don't know their life'.

    Obviously she is right.

    You should try the area around the "Yammo" statue. I buy them food and don't hand over any cash.

  7. That's nevin's party, the most corrupt of all political parties, whoes the only purpose is getting into ministries and being bribed to switch sides. For joining the abhisit government they were paid up to 50mln per head.

    And they had to lock them together into hotel rooms without mobile phones, because Pojaman, wanted to pay them more and they knew themself that when she buy a few out of it the others don't get anything.

    Please elaborate. Don't know what Pojaman has to do with it. They were bribed by the coup makers and the Dems. Or do you really think Pojman bribed them so that they can join a government of the Dems?

  8. If I give my wife 10 million baht for her birthday it becomes her money. The land department can ask you to sign what ever paper they like. Even if they found out that you had given her money they could never use the signed paper in a court of law..There is no law to say you cant give money to your wife as a present and she buys land with it. The whole procedure is so ridiculous and pathetic.I would not go as far as to refuse to sign it. But I would take no notice of it. I guess most of you remember Taksins wife giving her brother Bt60 million for his birthday. The court ruled it could not be taxed because it was his money even thougth she transfered to him to avoid yax.

    Gifts within a marriage are considered contractual in Thailand.

    (In other words, she has to remain your wife to keep them)

    On divorce you can ask for all and any gifts to be returned.

    (gold, money, land, cars)

    The only thing they can keep is sinsot, which is a gift for the parents, not the wife.

    What happens with the "Kong mann"?

  9. In Singapore, the law is very harsh with loan sharks and they can get 12 to 24 months in jail plus an extra three months if they are caught harassing anyone.

    Not difficult forThailand to introduce similar laws if they wanted to.saai.gif

    And who you think should enforce these new laws?
