The referendum should have been two questions IMO. Greasy Albanese decided to go all or nothing. I suspect it will be nothing and set the cause for First Nation people back at least a decade. If passed it would see the establishment of a government funded "advisory" group. A government funded advisory group can rapidly become a government funded anti-government lobby group if it doesn't get what it wants and the government would be obliged to continue funding it, even if it was white anting the government of the day. Meanwhile the ridiculous number of outstanding native title claims in NSW alone shows that this referendum is ill conceived similar to the reparations movement in the USA. This is about massive redistribution of wealth and assets and continuing the trend globally to destroy the middle class.

Very clever to arrest him before he submitted his extension application. Guarantees an overstay charge as a minimum.

"This harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder" not to drink with Thais. #FixedIt.

The ten year ban won't be necessary if he's sent to fight the Russians, but the compensation should be collected first. I'm sure the King of Coke will be happy to have him returned.

Joe Biden wouldn't know if you were up him even if you had whooping cough. The man needs a GPS to find his way from the bog roll to the bog hole.

Only possible to be fined if they used any school identifying material.

This place has a lonnnnnngggg history. It was blocking off public streets around the complex and preventing residents from using them, it had claimed other space out onto the beach, there were other smaller structures from memory. I think they also had a fire. Ha! Yes. See the post immediately above mine for more details. Well done @BenStark Thank you

Go to Chennai, India. About a 1/3 of the cost of Thailand. Mostly UK trained. Very advanced hospitals and highly-trained staff. All give price estimates by email after you send them your material. Kauvery is one to check and Apollo another. Hotels area cheap, so are tuk-tuks. Chennai is mostly vegetarian so you need a hotel with a good resto next door. Hotel Apple Residency is worth checking out. Careful where you step. Prices from a few years ago. incl private room + food. Airport transfer India. Chennai angiogram and 1 Abbot USA DE coronary stent $6,000, 2X $7,000, 6 x $10,000 Bumrungrad $14,000, 2X $20,000 (a friend)

Is there a life insurance policy?

How it started: How it's going

The last time Thaksin relied on an undertaking that he would get a royal pardon Yingluck ended up getting tossed out of office and Bangkok burning.

You might also look at Cambodia. The only requirement is be agd 55+ and not working. No minimum bank balance required No 90-day reporting No reentry visa requirement Get 8% pa interest paid monthly on your savings in USD or KHR on 12 mth TDs.

It's a trap

Send the MRIs, x-rays, reports, etc to India (electronically). Try Apollo Hospital or Kauvery Hospital in Chennai, I've had good results at both. DM if you want contact details. At least a half the price of Thailand. No medical visa required for India. Direct three hour (from memory) flights to Chennai from Don Mueang.

And how did that work out for the SVB, First Republic and Credit Suisse stockholders?

I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to have the electricity disconnected in Dubai, if I was him.

Thailand rates are crap. Go over to Cambodia and get 8% pa paid monthly. Hattha bank, owned by Krungsri is one option. As a non-resident you'll pay 14% tax on the interest so giving you an effective 6.88%, or thereabouts. If you're able to get a long term visa, eg, a retirement extension after your first 30-day visa expires, plus a rent receipt for say six months from a guest house and then open your TD you get residence rates of 6% interest. They only check your visa when you open your account. You can transfer the interest to yourself in Thailand each month using Wing for a few $$ using the bank and Wing's mobile apps.

If someone wanted to supply his cellmate with a shank, how would they go about it? #AskingForAFriend

They had a massive brain fart in 2011 when it happened also. Seems to be not as dramatic this time, thankfully

Probably not. Thais love to beat up those lower down the social pecking order than them and foreigners and refugees are way down the pecking order. I wouldn't be holding my breath.

Guess who's not playing water fights this year ????
