Expats and Retirees Excluded in Thailand's Citizenship Grants
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The question arises as to whether it improves their life. Once you are Thai min wage kicks in as well as taxation. Wonder how many chamber maids will lose their jobs. Also does that mean all welfare benefits are now eligible -

What does it say about the Media when you look at the fasct that FOX is continually the top watched news platform fox 2.505 million total viewers in primetime MSNBC 1.430 million CNN 853,000 total viewers FOX ALSO HAS THE TOP SHOW PERIOD IN THE FIVE AND THE TOP LATE-NIGHT 10 PM SHOW WITH GUTFIELD. No matter what it tells you that people enjoy getting their news and opinions from FOX more than they do any other mewsmedia. CNN is dying. MSNBC is getting helped by the NBC brand If you ask Thai teens where they get their news, Instagram and Twitter are the top 2. The one thing that the media here seems to ahve over the West is that they report what happens. It may be incorrect, but they still report what is happening. There isn't as much bias.

Patong Beach Volleyball Game Turns Violent, Sparks Thai-Arab Brawl
kingstonkid replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
In my 67 years, I have played a lot of sports, organized and unorganized. I can tell you that I ran into people like that BOY numerous times. The only difference was that there were people around who could either control him or get him out of the area. One thing I am certain of, though, is that it was not just the loss but probably something either said or done that caused him to be upset. -
Michelin-Star Thai Chef Jay Fai to Retire Next Year
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The sad thing is that she is a great cook the pitty is that she never passed on her recipe and her knowledge to someone to take over her restaurant. I think while costs might have been a factor, I just think that the long hours have taken their toll, and she is looking to enjoy her life. -
The problem in most Western countries is that they are importing more than they are actually producing; therefore, with tariffs and other taxes, the prices go up. Consider the difference if the U.S,. Produced its own oil and set their costs, then OPEC raising and tightening would not matter.

PM Paetongtarn May Dissolve House Ahead of Court Ruling
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The challenge is this first she has to try to protect daddy 2nd she has to try to protect the PTP 3rd keep redshirt supporters happy 4th, because if this case goes through and she is found guilty, every party that was at the dinner could also be hit, and BJT et al. do not want that. Even if the People's party win they still have a problem in that the senate is BJT loyal The bad news is that the Thai stock market was finally starting to improve and now will dive. -

Restaurants taking the biscuit, tax now per person charge !
kingstonkid replied to DonniePeverley's topic in General Topics
My question when they do this is who gets the money and how is it divided. I don't mind the charge if the place has good service and the money is divided as extra income to the cooks, bus boys and others. I domind when they use it as a means to gain the money to pay normal wage. Had a bargirl tell me that when you tip the waitress by leaving it in the folder that goes t the bar staff and not the waitresses. I am not sure if it is true, but I started tipping the waitress individually if they were cute and the beer was cold. -

Where to go to watch election results

It is interesting, and yes, I think we will know the winner fairly early once Trump has one NC, GA, OH and Penn. I think the Kamala party will look a little like -
Why Kamala Harris was always destined to lose
kingstonkid replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
I would agree in most cases if the guy had a heart attack or died. BUT the issue is that everyone knew that Joe's mental function was slipping. They had to know that it was possible he would not be able to handle it. Again possible. Therefore, the smart thing would have been for them to run the primary open and let people decide not to close it so that no one could run and/or at least get their name recognition. Also, remember there was supposedly a backroom discussion before the primary as to whether they were going to replace Kamala because they were not sure she was a strong enough candidate or backup if something happened. As to running hey the GOP and all the candidates knew that Donald was the heir apparent and had a HUGE swathe of voters for the primary but they still let it go unopposed Yes, it is water under the bridge now, but I am sure that there will be a lot of discussions about what, how and who after Kamala has lost. If it has not started already. -

Go to a good hospital if you can the one that prescribed the meds in the beginning. They will be able to put you on a program to gradually reduce your intake. I was on some heavy meds for my back after surgery doctor started reducing dosage slowly. Took 7 months to get free

Because at least the moron knows what he is doing and will take action. Remember Kamala sticks her head out the window and promises that a bill that was killed by both parties she is going to get signed and put into action even though she may not have any power in house or Senate.
