600 baht per month for children aged 0-6 in low-income families, Just think it is at 6 that the parents have to shellout all the money to the schools. There are a lot of guys that simply get the joy and when they find out they move away. The issue is a huge one BUT the bigger issue is not single parents or leaving the kids with Grandma and Grandpa. Hell that is what my mom did every day when she went to work. couples in the city can barely afford to live for themselves with the high costs. Then you add in that once the mat leave is finished they have to find a baby sitter or care giver to look after the baby. The biggest issue though is As of March 1, 2024, the Labour Protection Act (Amendment) B.E. 2566 in Thailand requires employers to pay 100% of an employee's regular salary for 45 days of maternity leave. The Social Security Office then pays the employee 50% of their regular salary for the remaining days of their maternity leave. So a couple go to university they get good jobs 20k each a month They rent a nice apartment 15 k get BTS passes 1500 eat 6000 So far not too bad But Student loans 50,000 min payment of 2k a month Then add in teh costs for medical as well as the price of looking after a child and now they are screwed because as much as the government says it want them to have the 09 days after 45 the wife drops to 50% salary. So she has to go back to work after finding someone tht can care for her child.

Where do you shop. I have never in 15 years seen girls that are 1000-1500 for long time As to the 20 k, it depends on how you look at it and what is included. You also have to remember that these girls realize that we old guys will die before them so they need money to save for the future. Next time you are on Suk, ask one of the girls how much for a week. I think you will be surprised.

You have to love those who are new to posting. I think you need to check things before you try to label people, Mr. Lefty. The last thing you would find backing TRUMP is a socialist those were the ones backing Kamala BTW for future reference if you are gong to refer to a news paper or organization plesae provide the link

The big thing that we have to consider is that outside of the city and burbs, people do not have a lot of choices. It is a lot like it used to be in the country in Canada where you went to a party, had a good time, and hoped you could make it home because there is no taxi or anything. The only thing that started to stop them in Canada was a. more check stops b. harsher judges c. society and the change in how they feel Drunk driving is not laughed off like it used to d. car insurance Because most Thais ride bikes and most Thais go out by themselves, it is very hard to have a designated driver. Add in the lack of helmets and the need for speed and guess what Population control

Tarrifs are not only to hurt the other country but they are also to protect the industries in the country. The challenge that the U.S. has is because industries and buyers look outside the country for cheap knock offs that they make into a top product. Car imports, phones I phones in particular Consider that when covid hit the U.S. did not have enough thermometers because China could not produce them fast enough. TRUMP has the plan to bring back the industries and make things at home.

The bigger risk than just drinking and driving is all these idiots outside the city that have a couple of drinks and drive without a helmet. I am actually surprised that one has done a study on how many lives would have been spared if wearing a helmet.

I would think that the unwavering might have cut a deal to provide evidence or direction to get AN Also wonder what will hapoen with the many appeals . She may die an old lady in prison the way the system works

I used to go to the houses to pick up the rent lol. Also every once in awhile I had my contractor do alittle work so we could take a look.

I go to Yanhee hospital the service is good the girls are all pretty and friendly and the dentist is great.

Sure you can but you could end up in jail 2x4 upside the head lol

Hey the bar girls are not all stupid. Most of the young ones do it for the money and to see if they can snag a rich farang to look after them. The middle-aged ones realize that they can't do this for the rest of their lives and need something else. So they find a boyfriend or husband. I had one girl tell me that she would be mine and look after me, but she wanted 20k a month.

Part of the problem is not having insurance. Even when you do, it is hit-and-miss. The companies don't want to pay. They will nickel and dime you to death or drag their heels. International companies are all the same. The coverage is there, but there are so many loopholes. Also, a lot of them will reimburse you, but you have to pay upfront and get the money afterward.

Been here 15 years and every time I get the itch to get a motorbike a story like this pops up.

The challenge for a lot of people is that the law seems to be 2 separate laws There is the Thai law and then there is the we want tourism law. Thai law is established in areas with predominantly Thai people. Patpong is in the SalaDeng Silom area, so it is deemed to be a Thai working area. Yes, I know there are many businesses around Suk, but it is predominantly a tourist-rich area, and businesses there are more dependent on tourists than Thais. Even in NANA, you have to take into consideration when and what the tourists want. Hence you have a lot of the bars on the street open early, but the Plaxa itself, due to the clientele, is not open until after 5 at the earliest. Cowboy, the bars are open earlier, but the actual girls and goings-on are not until later. The challenge outside the city is that most Thais drive or ride to the bar to drink. That is where the issue arises. I actually think that the hours work, In a strange way because if youwant a beer there are places that are selling or you just have to go to 7/11 Lotus or tops when it is legal buy your poison and go home and drink it. What throws me for a loop is watching people in the middle of the day walking along the street with a big bottle of CHANG in their hands. Someone, please tell me a country where this is legal.
