  1. They need to sort out shops that won’t accept QR payment unless it’s a certain amount of money I got turned down by 7/11 last month was told it had to be over x amount
  2. Government should be ensuring public transport is in a roadworthy condition how may persons was this vehicle licensed to carry and as yet the only explanation of the fire was an exploding tire which seems rather odd RIP to all those who perished I sincerely hope the those who lost loved ones will be helped financially to cover costs of funerals and other expenses
  3. Another Toni idea can you see all those lady bars registering their bar girls having to pay taxes not a hope in hell !
  4. Sadly it won’t get passed as the big guys won’t allow it as their to greedy in the UK I used to brew my own the homemade kit was very reasonable they could do the same in Thailand if they wanted !
  5. My UK pension is frozen I’m now 74 but it’s a price worth paying to live in Asia having said that after20 years in Thailand I’m considering moving to the Philippines where it will be no longer frozen and where I can get more for my buck Thailand has started to get expensive!
  6. Been here 20 years never been back to Europe but if they introduce the new taxation then I will be heading off to another Asian country where I'm happy to spend my well paid pensions
  7. How can an ex convicted fugitive be allowed to make such proposals he should be allowed within the boundaries of any government offices
  8. Do the crime Do the time but maybe a nice fat brown envelope might change the victims mind !
  9. Bring it on 20 years ago I was getting 74 baht to the £ I formed a company and purchased beach land still have it to this day ! You can never say never and the way Thailand is going I wouldn’t be surprised if it went belly up through poor mismanagement of the economy
  10. Since Toni reappeared from his extended holiday in Dubai and managed to avoid his Free B&B I have gotten the feeling that his feeling towards we foreigners are as before make life difficult for them and that’s why now I’m looking to live between two Asian countries where I can cut my pie in half and share it !
  11. Been with that bank for years at one stage I had 11 million + sitting in it and still got laughed at when I brought up the question of credit card as for SCB where I have two accounts there a total waste of time maybe your in luck being married to a Thai of which im not
  12. I’ve got more chance of winning the lottery than getting a credit card and that’s with 19 years of banking with the same bank and always having a good amount in my account ! Unless your a Thai don’t waste your time
  13. It’s been manipulated for years to suit the thai economy this year more than 5,000 factories have ceased trading 1,000s upon 1,000s of Burmese workers have been deported Thais are to lazy to fill the available jobs due to poor pay and conditions The baht has been allowed to get to strong tourists will go to more affordable countries where they get more for their buck and those of us who live here on long term are eagerly awaiting to see what the taxable system is going to be if it’s not to our advantage I for one will be on my way to a neighboring country . I would welcome back the days when I was getting 74 baht to the £ you can never say never !
  14. I read a report a few days ago that they’ve delayed it
  15. Toni got his dirty fingers on manipulating the baht that’s all well and good until it comes and bites you where the sun don’t shined
  16. I read today that a Thai only had 4,000 baht as the bank had deducted 6,000 baht from a debt owed if true how will that help the economy . If it’s going to be reduced to 5,000 baht it proves that they don’t have the funds to hand out I can see a lot of angry people
  17. They spend it as soon as you hand it over
  18. Go to the German embassy they will tell you everything that is required as far as I know Germany is one of the easiest countries to obtain a visa
  19. Does the W@NK€R get free nights in your hotel Gary what you after a knighthood !
  20. There is only one winner here the guy in uniform
  21. Yet they want to build casinos what a joke !
  22. 20 years ago they were proposing a huge berth marina in Samui 20 years later nothing there is more chance that pigs will fly !
  23. Gambling is against the law in Thailand if they allow casinos then the floodgates will open to all forms of gambling even the government lottery is a form of gambling ! Gambling will cause far greater problems that someone who enjoys a spliff I also ask myself what foreign company would invest their billions when they can never own the business is this another Toni idea !
  24. I’ve lost my desire to listen to woman especially Thai woman when I’m trying to watch and listen to my football team in my local bar they never shut up !
  25. Here on KP we have a Russian Orthodox Church and a Christian Church I am not a churchgoer but I occasionally go to my local temple to make merit even though I am an Irish Christian Monks can walk the streets and offer prayers in return for food so I can’t understand why a Christian believer should cause upset by introducing Christianity to those who are undecided. I know a number of Thais who have become Christians. !
