How far back you want to go, Romans enslaving Brits? History is full of barbarism and enslavement. Move on.

Three Thai relatives have all been scammed out of 50,000 baht each by a Thai "employment company" promising fruit picking jobs in Australia. The jobs never materialised and the money disappeared. -
Retirement visa/Bank account question.

Definition of scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud. -

Somebody in Immigration is getting rich off these scams. -
Been here 13 years, it's home.

Or, alternatively, they don't exist. -

Everybody has a cellphone, but nobody can get a decent picture, always blurred or out of focus. Why? -
Ridiculous to compare Bieber and Springsteen. Springsteen has written so many classic songs, I couldn't name one song from Bieber. Bowie wrote Major Tom, he was never an astronaut either.

Just had another look. I think that Vivo has to be a fake at that price.

I need a small audiobook player but all the MP3 players seem to have very small screens, so I'm wondering if something like a Vivo Y53 would do the job. They are available on Lazada at present for around 1100 baht. At that price they seem better value than an MP3 player with phone, camera and internet capabilities.

Different countries have different ages of consent, ie younger. Does this mean they mature earlier?
-
Not if the legal age is 15.
-
Wrong. What is the legal age of consent in Thailand? In Thailand, the age of consent for sexual acts is 15 years old (3). Therefore, it means that if one is to have sex with anyone who is under the age of 15 will be punished by law, no matter if the underaged party consent to the sexual act or not.

How is 17 "untouchable"?
-
It seems only falangs who keep hammering this point. Thais don't care.
-
What is "outlawed" and what is common and acceptable practice are two different things.
-
Don't try and impose your morals onto another culture.
-
You don't seem to get it. It's a common occurrence in Thailand and you can probably count on one hand anyone doing time for it.
-
Every society has their own ideas about what the legal age should be. Like smoking dope. Once it could have got you locked up for 20 years, now it's just a misdemeanor. Who know what the age of consent will be in 20 years time?

There's a Youtube tutorial on how to install them.

Transferring money into Thailand
giddyup replied to Jaunty's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
ANZ, they ask for what purpose and I just say medical expenses. You also get a phone call from the bank confirming it's you for security purposes. Asking is just a formality, never heard of a bank refusing to transfer. -

I recently transferred more than A$300K from my Aussie bank to Thai bank without any problems. -
I have an old (13 years) Panasonic home theatre that I also use to play music as it has a CD/DVD player as well as a USB port. My question is, if I plug a Bluetooth receiver dongle into the USB port will I be able to transmit music from my PC? I can play music through the USB port using a flash drive, so will a dongle work?

No, he did clean up all the fallen leaves and branches.
