I think the UK government can use every penny it can get its hands on right now. Its own nationals can barely afford to buy property so why would it stop people with the means from doing so?

Protectionism is something that every country is guilty of to some degree so pick up your toys and stop whining. Unlike the UK, Thailand's not a first world economy with developed markets so allowing foreigners to bowl in buying up land from under ordinary Thais' feet would be unacceptable. 

Judging by the quality and content of your replies to posts, and denigrating other members, I would think you never had any toys in the first place. For your information my post was not a whine, or drip, I am very, very comfortable here, and have been for more than 30 years, so I suggest you get back in your pram, suck your dummy, and consider lightening up on the other members of this forum, gooday Sir.

I have an idea for the British Government. Ban all Thai people from owning land and property in UK unless they meet the same requirements as here. Also, all Thai businesses in UK must be 51% owned by Brits. I wonder what this Government would say then?

What a pity that you did not post a link stating that climate change politicians in the WEF, WHO, UN paid the most to the scientists to get the figures they wanted.

 

From what I can see it is only your word against theirs.

 

The next question is who would I believe?

 

You and a conspiracy theory, or a large number of scientists from different countries who have a fair idea what they are talking about.

Google is your friend. there are numerous videos on line of researchers being brought to task for false information, both in the U.S. and Australia. But hey, you believe what you want, I will follow the money trail, and believe what I want. That is our right......at the moment.

Just renewed mine with Mythaivisa agents. I live in Korat and the traveling down to Bangkok TWICE to submit and then pick up is something i am not going to do when for 11500bht which included the passport fee they will do for me, they even completed the forms i just signed them. The turn around time was 5 weeks from start to finish.

 

They were totally professional and i would'nt hesitate to recco them.

I used keyvisa, 5,000 Baht, but I paid for the passport on line first.

I agree 100%. I live in Udon Thani and last month I had to fly down to BKK to hand in my Passport Renewal application 

documents. Yesterday I received an e mail to inform me that my new passport has arrived Now I have to waste money and time to go pick it up. Yes there are agencies that can do this, but I would think they would be expensive.

At the moment I am pondering on what best to do. I  Will accept any good advise.

I have renewed both My, and my Son's passports over the last two years. As I live in Nakhon nowhere I used Key visa in Pattaya. 5,000 Baht each time. Way cheaper than two trips to Bangkok, and a lot less hassle. 

So, assuming in the future they get all their ducks in a row, and start taxing all our incomes, what do we get out of it? Free healthcare, access to pensions, scrapping of dual pricing? 

Rhetorical question, as we are dirty Farangs we get nothing.

The police are determined to investigate thoroughly and ensure that justice is served.

I will not hold my breath on that one, no money in it.

Why do the police not get out there en-masse, and fine everyone they see breaking the traffic laws, well, we all know why, so treat it is a rhetorical question. 

Very sad. It does seem a case of mistaken identity, however, a poor family in Thailand, I cannot see any justice forthcoming as there is no money in it for a certain group. 

This will likely be the last we ever hear of it if the investigation, and follow up go true to form here.

As Hotchilli posted, RIP, and better luck next life. 

I showed the Wife that picture, and She was not impressed......"Where is the gold, no gold, no good"........

My brain is finally going, when I read paddled out my first impression was he rolled up his trousers, and paddled out. However, 6 metres of water, He must have paddled another boat out. Silly me, but kudos to the Gentleman for His quick actions. 

Will the local authorities give Him a medal or something........er........I doubt it.

We all  know that nothing else will be heard of this incident. 

Our builder removed the lot, just two wires coming out of the ceiling, then screwed the new led light unit up, connected the wires, and finished.
