Old grumpy people move to Thailand old grumpy people get grumpy. Is this a story ?

Continuing discussion in western and Ukrainian media about the feud that has opened up between President Zelenskiy and his hugely popular and respected army chief Zalunhyi. Zalunhyi has gone public to face him down. It would appear from the commentary here and elsewhere that the army wants more compulsory conscription to face off Russia in the meat grinding front lines ,that and the Presidents jealously at a more respected player on the political stage. There will be considerable concern from western allies if Zelenkiy through apparent defect of character allows personal enmities to get in the way of successfully prosecuting the war. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/01/zelensky-zaluzhny-ukraine-military-shakeup/ https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2024/02/01/exp-ukraine-zaluzhny-ouster-matthew-orr-intv-020102aseg1-cnni-world.cnn Kyiv Post almost mutinous in its reporting in support of the army chief. It is of course to Ukraine's great credit they can have such a frank debate in Russia bodies would be dying. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/274388

You're not allowed to criticise the guards @Morch

Imagine good people got into power and opened the books and revealed what is inside done by the people with the guns. Imagine is all that you can do brain doesn't beat bullets particularly in one of the most effectively brainwashed citizenry I can imagine. Plus it would put prices up for us so there is that.

It's an utter disgrace nothing will change though the whole political/executive state is rotten to its core and those that could have changed this wonderful country have effectively been gerrymandered out of office. Mask up get an air purifier or leave the country.

Defending US interests I.e. those of big capital plus the normal psyopathic/sociopathic bloodlusts of a wounded and dying hegemon,comrade !

Thanks that is interesting it would appear from your anecdote that the existing resident can stay if the have inherited a minority interest from the owner and there isn't total agreement from all the owners to sell. In essence either all agree or the sale is effectively blocked until they do.

Thankfully the average TVF malcontent isn't representative of humanity or else I would truly despair. The average age her must surely be over 60 I'm 63 myself young folk just wouldn't want to hang out here.

So that Caesar can conduct his census and Herod can look for infant wronguns.

Even if he paid her she is not that desperate.

I think you will find it is effectively Burmese who monopolise that profession often missing limbs sadly.

Like I said it's being reported by the BBC, New York Times ,The Spectator - the esteemed Russia commentator Mark Galeotti no less and many other sources. Which means in the terms of reference for this forum at least it happened. None of you want to discuss this intelligently it would seem. Never mind I am on X with several hundred followers and Reddit with 20k karma where we do of course. Slava Ukrainia ! https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/zelenskys-rivalry-with-zaluzhny-spells-bad-news-for-ukraine/

Thanks but that's not how the family dynamic works in our case.We are fairly wealthy and my wife loves these two sisters more than everyone else. If I die before her she will sell up in the UK and move back to her family and be quite a wealthy woman. We have no children. The aim here is to encourage the resident member to move particularly as this is Yala southern Thailand where the local situation isn't ideal and closer to our condo in Jomtien and her daughters in Bangkok. The husband we feel would like to stay close to his sister down South and is a quiet but sober man. Frustrating at the pace of getting something done. But thanks to all the responses here we have some info to feed into the process.

I take those type of emojis as a badge of honour which means my post is over the target. That said there should just be 2 a +1 and maybe a similar counter for sad.

I've read Andrew Drummond's take on him. Interesting indeed.

My wife wants to sell along with the other sister like as soon as possible. She wants 2 million back and at least 1 million fir the eldest sister.With the reminder she will help / gift the residents to find another place hopefully near to these family members. That said if she refuses to sell for whatever reason, entrenched ways,superstition or such could a minority stake force the sale if the oldest sister dies. Hope that is clear. Many thanks for your help thus far.

The eldest sister has no money and was never marrired or had children and is the caring auntie to the resident sisters daughter and lives with her in a rented condo in Bangkok. Indeed she looked after her father until he died hence he left half to her and half to my wife who bailed them all out. The two residents are on healthy government employees pensions but have burnt through their savings so are in no position to pay back anyone should they stay in situ.

Thanks that's the plan. The other family members hold my wife who is the youngest of 10 in high regard as she helps out and avises with no desire to self enrich. They regard ghe resident sister as having had it easy to live rent free for 20 years something the others don't have. As ever the oldest sister who is 73 doesn't want to make a will as she regards it as unlucky and fears she would fie soon after ! If she died intestate there would be an unseemly feeding frenzy on the house. Just out of interest as my wife has 50% and would get a 5 way split on the remaining 50% taking her to 60 and her resident sister to 10% 70% could the others still force a sale?

Thanks that sounds right the law of adverse possession is to stop rich people abandoning land or property for a period of 10 or more years with no attempt to assert ownership and therefore in the eyes of the law forgoing their ownership. This most certainly doesn't apply here.

Lol. Also add Putin shill, how many roubles are they paying you comrade, its a quiet day in St Petersburg to that epithet. More informed speculation in the Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/aa9aacfc-c248-4550-bf28-d79ad4c553cb

She looks like an attractive young lady the food vendor may well be a man. Worse things have happened at sea.Just read shes female as well. It is going viral on tik tok amazing advertising for the price of a meal.

I know that but in that event to get their share they would need to be a sale and the eviction of the sister and husband who may not want to go in that event. For information both my wife and her eldest sister want to sell take half for themselves and potentially gift the other half to the resident sister to move up north closer to them all and their children. They all get on very well at the moment but their is a sneaking suspicion that the husband doesn't want to move and may believe they could seize the chanote in a court of law due to adverse possession in the event of the oldest sister dying intestate and forcing the issue. There is currently a lot of trust and goodwill but that could be tested if the resident sister given plenty of time and positive suggestions proves reluctant to move over the next couple of years. We are examining our options and messaging to achieve that.

My wife and the eldest sister names are on the chanote and the chanote is in the house where we are currently visiting. There are no loans debts on the chanote. Indeed it was my wife with my help bailed her father out to the total tune of 1.8 million 21 years ago after the eldest step brother broke his father's heart after taking a mortgage to bail out his failing business and then walked away when he couldn't pay it.
