Well, since a few years, lg is producing tv's based on philips technology.

That is a lot better then what they made before.

And for the other stuff, they ise also philips technology.

Far more better quality then samsung or toshiba.

You may not realise this my friend but samsung and Panasonic make 90% of all the world's t.v. screens. :-)

So, and , philips is still way better then the other brands of tv.

But, if you like to have a product that is 2nd class or broke in a few years, take a samsung or toshiba or some other japanese brand. With the new software, they monitor everything you do in your house.

Big brother is watching you.

It maybe looks good, but the stuff they put inside is not the best quality there is.

Only need to look at a samsung phone, then you see the difference.

And yeah, i have android phone, used a samsung but thrown it away. Worthless shit.

The ECB loaned Greece at the highest interest rate of 7% knowing they were a terrible risk whereas the prime countries or the lowest risks only have to pay 1%. They were set to fail from the beginning. Top that off with a privately owned central bank which was only interested in profit they had to fail.

If Greece will nationalize their central bank and not have to create money by borrowing at high interest, they can make a comeback but it will not be easy. The BRICS bank will back them at a decent price as they need to build their operating base.

The only way that greece can create their own money is get out of the euro.

Please do so and take the other garlic countries with.

Let them have their own currency please.

We, north europe will be way better off.

Due to the greece and the other garlic countries our pensions are worthless at the moment.

All because they needed to bail out the garlic countries.

There is only one thing good in that region, that is the sun.

For the ret you get screwed over everything else.

If you worried how much you pay extra, go pay with cash only. Then no extra fee needed

Difficult for me to answer here as whatever I say will be considered as biased.

We got our independence in 1828, after 400 years of occupation and slavery to the Turks.

We haven't got many natural resources and the Greek terrain mostly consists of bare rocky land, difficult for agriculture.

Manufacturing is nearly non existent.

Shipping was famous all over the world but the Greek ship owners decided to register their fleet with foreign flags so to avoid paying any taxes .

The only assets we had were tourism and our famous Greek Filoksenia.

Introducing Greece to the Euro has rocketed the tourist prices for the past 10-15 years.

So any advantage we had to other tourist orientated countries has disappeared.

I do agree that our introduction to the EU was not 100% genuine, but for us was a big step forward and a way getting out of poverty and misery we suffered for all those years.

Now the situation is that we are back to where we started and even worst.

Unemployment is high, people started starving, pensioners have seen their pensions cut in half, due to the austerity measures introduced by our EU partners.

I'm not saying that what they imposed on us is wrong, after all the loans have to be paid back.

But for how long are we expected to suffer?

For how many generations are we supposed to suffer?

People is known through history to revolt against poverty and suffering.

Why Greek people has to endure this?

Ask yourselves if you were in the same situation what you would have done.

Yes, I would accept the answer, you put yourselves in the shit you come out now if you can.

But it seems there is a change for us to come out.

Contrary to my believes, Russia and China are offering a helping hand.

I would take it as I can't see any other solution to our suffering.

Dear costas,

As you stated yourself here above, what would we do IF we would be in the same position.

The answer is simple to that.

We north europeans will not get in the same position ever, as we understand very well that earnings have to come before spending.

And we can not spend what we do not have.

So, the same for the new government on greece, they are already spending what they not have and never will get.

Just to make to real greek people suffer more later.

Pay your taxes, as you should pay them, stop many laws that males is possible to evade taxes, like if house not finished, taxes not need to pay.

But, Costas,

Tell us how long we need to look at the countries that are connected to mediteranian sea and see how they are spending the money that is earned by the northern countries, how long do we need to take the bullshit stories about why it is not possible to do this or that to make sure the government and big companies are not corrupt.

When wiil spain, portugal, greece, italy,france leave the euro zone and even better, leave schengen and eu also.

Would be better for all of us i think.

Then you can do what ever you want, how ever you want and when you want

Bur be not surprised that you still go broke every 3 to 6 years.

As the only thing a greek person is good at, evade paying anything they need to pay and borrow as much as they can without the intention to pay back ever.

I think if they are not born in the UK, married to someone born in UK or their parents were not born in the UK then they should send them all home. I guess if that doesn't sort out the issue of every man and his dog moving to the UK from other parts of the EU, then as a last resort the UK could adopt Thailand's laws on immigration, that would certainly sort out the freeloaders. Too many people claiming rights and UK citizenship and ripping an already struggling system off, because one of their great ancestors was British… woopty f$%king doo daaa.

I think there is even a better option,

For example, if not born in london, not have parents from london, or the wife is not from london, then all people should be kicked out of london also.

But, as this is the thai visa, forum, the same counts for thailand or any city in thailand.

For me it feels very strange that all the farang here wants to be in thailand and not want any laws that makes them leave or what ever.

But when they talk about their home country, then they want all the laws so all foreign people can be kicked out at the spot.

Talking about biased minds.

Or do you all think you are some higher human being that has more value then the rest of the world.

If so, then you better get worried about the next war, because most the wars started over this issue.

Some human thinks that he is more then the other human.

But, what the heck, most of you not think that. Most of you here know that.

Criminals, and Justice should be world wide, you cant hide from the law. Well done. Drug dealers are the scum of the earth. They break up families and ruin lives,

Bullshit.

The user is to blame, nobody else.

If nobody buys it, then is will not be produced and no profit will be made.

Alcohol, cigarettes and many more stuff is same addictive, but nobody complains about that.

Make it legal, if they want to use it, up to them.

If they wanna die from it, up to them.

But not blame somebody else for providing things you are not able to withstand.

You can just walk into Talay 6, get the lift to the 27 floor, walk to the end of the corridor, open the window over the pool then that's it, should put locks on them windows now

why put a lock on it?

If they wanna jump they break the whole window.

This is cheaper.

And really, if people want to die, let them die.

Provide good options for a quick and painless death.

Who are we to tell other that they have to live even when they not want to live.

so they don't land on your head when your around the pool,

That would be they only good reason to do so.

But, if they wanna jump they open the window or break it.

Or make sure you get the bank fee also as an discount.

If you in bkk, go to superrich, close to silom cetre.

Take cash with you and passport.

They have even the best rate you want.

After that, deposit on your account.

Best way to safe money and not too nosy why and what.

For the rest, i would change the bank very quickly if they want a marriage certificate every time.

Kasikorn want nothing, just a passport, na,e pf hotel you stay and you can open an account in pattaya, easy.

Even do internet banking from europe with kasikorn.

the answer is easy,

same like a computer program

100: find a thai girl

200: chat with her online

300: meet her in thailand

400: stay together in hotel.

500: forget to give enough money before go home

600: forget to send every month too much money

700: girl not answer back on message

800: goto 100

and there is almost no other option

if she can show you what is the problem, she can answer the phone also

there not the same as here in Europe, the can chat and all day from the hospital.

or she wants more money from you

or she has has enough of you and not interested in you anymore

Pieter 1964.

Reading your spelling and grammar, one could be forgiven for judging you as being drunk.

How do you know the deceased was drunk?

RIP

I am very sorry for my spelling and grammar, but English is not my main language.

I don't know if he is drunk or not, but I have seen many drunks in Thailand doing very stupid things.

Nasty way to go.

RIP

Best thing is to ban all Jet Ski's, it would stop this can of thing and get the thugs off the beach.

best thing is not rent them.

if nobody rent them, then they will not get any money and they will leave soon.

if you not like something, the best way is to vote with your feat.

walk away from it and stay away.

when everybody do that, the thugs will be gone soon.

but hey, the person who rents it, he will never be to blame, because he is a farang, and he is very smart and knows exactly what he is doing

and he is realy sober, even from the last few days he is sober and he is well educated on the thing that he will be driving on.

etc etc etc.

and yeah, I come already over 15 years here in thai, I rent my car when I need one, or a bike when I need or want one.

never had an accident yet, not here in thai and not in my own country yet.

because I never drive and drink, not even 1 beer and I try to be very carefull.

not even had a close call yet here in Thailand while I was driving.

is any house here in Thailand actually grounded? ok ok I don;t know all the tech details of above posters but...i read all you need is a 6 ft deep copper wire to ground a house electric power out - but seriously - is any thai electrian EVER grounded a house?

i do always wear sandals when in my place - i hate getting the voltage rush when plugging something into my computer 5 5 5

yes, some of them are grounded

depending on the amount of amperes you official get from the company.

my gf's house had 5 amp band nothing grounded.

she wanted to change to 15 amps, and she first needs to ground the electric wiring from house, so they put a rod in the ground, 1.5 meter long

that is not realy grounding, but it works a little bit.

what they again not have, a decent 0.02amps ground circuit breaker.

that is not needed, but the house is grounded

strange people those thai

maybe time to look for all the Russians in the world.

as long as they are in Ukraine

go to each wall socket and take a nail in each hand.

stick it in there and if you feel some sparkling in your body, there is juice.

if you not feel anything

then it is not good.

other option.

better ask a real electrician to do the work for you if you not know how to do it.

and if you not trust the man who installed it all, why the hell did you let him install it for you.

why in the hell you all like thailand so much.

as all of you are complaining about it so much.

if you not like the thai or the country or the spicy food or the way they want to live their lives, as same as the way they want to drive on the road or do their things, just leave thailand and stay in your own country.

please not turn thailand into one the same dull shit country as all the western countrys are already.

here in thailand there is at least some spice in your life.

good, tiger should live in the wild, not in a zoo in pattaya.

if you want to look at a zoo, go walking street or soi6

How does it feel to be able to play God as a judge? I really wonder. Thailand should move up in the ranks of civilized countries and abolish the death penalty.

more country's should start again with the death penalty.

in more and more countries the criminal can do all and live in a luxurious jail with tv, internet, movies, gym, schools etc while the victims get to live with it for lifetime.

time for a change in the civilized countries, put them in a dark hole and only give bread and water.

and for those who killed people just do the same, easy cheap and quick.

pic's or it didn't happen

why are people complaining about the country.

if you would like everything the same as in the UK or australia or what ever country, then stay there and not go to thailand.

thailand is thailand and thai people are thai people and the thai way is the thai way.

that is why you all like the cuontry, the life there, the people and more.

if you change it all to your previous country, it will not be thai anymore and you go start complaining about that it is not thai anymore.

look in bkk, the smiles are already going away.

it looks more and more on a big western city in stead of a nice asian city.

just my 5 cents.
