not cockroaches..they are resistant

unfortunately not in my area

yes philanthropic is getting the scariest word of this century.....go hiding when the ultra rich philanthropists come to destroy your life

Just not true....we were searching for cleaning woman....willing to pay her as much as the accountant get. We got some who were unreliable and lazy and we don't expect much. And not only women....we train CNC operators from zero and there they drop out because it is too coming on time and think when you work. Our 7/11 has every week new faces as they always fire the lazy people...and promote the good one. I spoke with a scuba dive center they can't find any girl who is willing to do the very basic scuba certificate so they know what they are talking with the customer.

and the good people will change to the company who pays 3 Baht, and than to that which pays 4 Baht. At shortage of labor the system will self up regulate immediately. On CNC operator it is still common that someone don't come on Monday because someone offer 500 Baht more salary. While state minimum salary cause unemployment.

often partisan press..... But Thailand has a lot very government critical press from both the red and the yellow side. But I think it is a small bubble of people only

labor force.....it starts finding someone who is willing to come every day and be sober.....bureaucracy is OK in Thailand. But staff who is willing to work...

yes I think that is terrible.....I noticed the contradicting information but some others may travel to the wrong place and waste a lot time

That can be that the wind blows the smoke into the edges of Bangkok. The pollution from trucks and burning trash got less. So there are small islands of improvement in the general disaster....The smoke on the streets was terrible before and now most cars are clean and the trucks at least sometimes checked. Down in Khanom where the air would be good, some people burn coconut leaves/wood to keep the mosquitos away. But at least the area that I know mix general trash into it.....At least it is only in the evening

no it says here the Temp service center and the map to it

politicians....every country every politician Obama, Trump, Biden all had the best economic ever.

In Bangkok it was way worse both the trucks and the cars smoke much worse, that this time no one care no one measured something. Now police is checking. And they burned rubbish in Bangkok with black/white ash raining down so you couldn't dry clothes outside. That massively improved. But where they burn the rice fields it might be complete different.

maybe upcountry...I had Bangkok in my mind (but didn't write it)

thanks for the information....I wounder how many people go to the wrong place because they believe the official webpage: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/90days-report/

One Immigration page says: Muang Thong Thani Temporary Service Center. Another says: Chalermpraklat Government Complex Building B. I know it moved to the Temporary Side. But did it maybe move back?

In business almost everyone is Chinese ethnic. But they feel as Thais, can't speak any Chinese

crazy high electric prices, high Baht and stupid minimum salaries make Thailand less competitive.

we are all very similar....not very different in the way our engine works. Eat like people ate 100 years ago and you are slim.....old films of festivals from USA/UK, etc show no fat people while on the same festival they are the majority now. And I guess half the diets your friend tried did work....he just stopped them and continued his old lifestyle.

The bar girl was just an example of non official registered money. I assume that a very big amount of businesses do not report their incomes. But as you say it might be not statistically relevant.

yes question is if that are runners who run, or self identified runner, who dress up, run 500meter make a selfi and go eating. I would eat my running shoes if 3% of the real runner....who say run more than 30km per week which is really not much and less than 7min/km which is really not fast are prediabetic (unless the term prediabetic changed and it is now everyone)

In my opinion the air is now a lot better than 20 years ago. And at least the smell of burned plastic and ash raining down ended.

I guess it is also a wide margin of estimate....how many more beer chang is bought by tourists? How many tourists have a girlfriend and give her money. The bar girl who has 8 men that each transfer 10-20.000 Baht per month, is this calculated as tourism? and is it common or rare?

I read numbers as low as 6% and as high as 25%.

yes it is heartbreaking and also terrible for the relatives. We all end as complete idiots with a shot brain.... We have very high blood pressure when being nervous in the family....doing lots of endurance sports is my solution. Actually I like the sport I would also do it if there is no reason for it.

There were a lot shooting between Thailand and Cambodia a while ago and the situation with Myanmar can change any day. So it is understandable that they need a powerful army and not only some T62 for the next coup
