3 months in Thailand and 405 posts? Given David a run for his money? Just kidding. PM me if you want info on a potential job in special education in Thailand.

So tell him his mother copulates with elephants and walk away. Move on.

HuaHin: the next Sukhumvir soi 1

Hope there is a special level in hell for this 1% piece of #$#%. In a country with this much poverty, this is obscene to the extreme. But I am sure he thinks hes the cat's ass.

yes, the reduction in drug and booze sales would sure hurt the local economy.

Another example of NGO workers in Cabodia not being chosen by qualifications and skills, but by who they play golf with and who their friends are. Never seen such dodgy and disturbing expats as Cambodia NGO staff, yet qualified people cant get an interview because they are not part of the "NGO good-ol-boy" club. Hopefully they will start cleaning up this system and send the overpaid NGO heads packing.

Do you really think anyone making over 4mil a year actually pays any taxes?

Its still a bit steep, 35% for earnings over 4M/year.

For the same earned amount in the following countries.

Malaysia = 26%

Singapore =17%

Then again 35% is better than 37%.

Here's a thought. Police stopping everyone not wearing helmet or with broken lights. Every time, instead of ignoring them. No need for campaigns.

Wow, imagine a Thai motorbike NOT riding the wrong way down the road at night with no headlight or taillight and actually wearing a helmet......the mind boggles.

Maybe they did it because you speak like a self-important prat? Just a possible explanation...

This cracks me up. Thailand has rejected every offer of free assistance to train Western models of drug abuse prevention and treatment. The blind leading the visually impaired.

I know there are big bike rentals in Phuket. I would often see the bikes and their tourist riders lying in intersections or in ditches as I drove by. "Hey. lets go to Thailand, get hammered and drive superbikes way to fast. You can do anything in Thailand that you want and were tourists so were immortal anyway..." Thats why I dont respond to the frequent R.I.P tourist posts...

Losing our Russians? What could be worse? a reduction in disease ridden soi dogs sleeping in the road? And post deleted in 3...2...1...

Which is more funny? to believe this "plan" or to ask TV for advice? e

Been hit up bu foreigners several times, usually Brits in Bangkok. Now I don;t even speak English with this type when they approach.

I love PP. Would move there if I ever found a decent paying job. Much easier and cheaper to live in PP. but the pay is garbage.

Ig Iphone 6 gets you hard, you need to get out more. Are you a 15 year old girl?

Interesting to see how the police are responding to the army taking over their criminal activities, now the police have to blow the dust off the law books and find some chicken <deleted> offenses they can use to shake down more 200 baht fines. Pretty soon the police mafia will be on welfare....

no.

Why not simply raise taxes on the fags? Tripling the price should encourage people to smoke less.

1st) They're less than 30 baht a pack in Cambodia. How difficult do you think it would be for someone to cross the border with them illegally and sell them here in Thailand as another TV member posted.

2nd) There's the liberty question. Why should the government interfere in any individual person's business? If someone wants to smoke why shouldn't they be allowed to smoke? Why should someone be taxed out of the right and/or ability to smoke? What if they taxed alcohol so high nobody could afford it? what then? salt? soda? refined sugar? red meat? To give a government the ability to tax something so high that nobody can afford it is dangerous and slippery slope.

The reason you should be taxed is to cover the cost of medical care for smoking related diseases and illnesses. Why should non smokers pay for the health care of smokers when everyone knows that smoking is dangerous to your health.

Same can be said for alcohol. I don;t drink so a 500% tax on booze is fine for me, since alcohol causes more death and expenses in Thailand than smoking does.

There is a website called languageexchange (don't think I can post the URL but you will figure it out) that I have had good luck with. You need to sort out the people who just want lovers or facebook friends but are some sincere people who want to exchange tutoring for free.

About 90% of the housing in BKK is 15k or less. Big house with land, however, will be hard to find near BTS for that price.

your life is so hard. I feel your pain.
