  1. The late king promulgated the solution. The problem is that everyone wants the shiny things now. Everyone has to have an iphone or apple tablet. The high debt is caused by Lack of financial education Easy access to credit cards Belief that the government will bail them out The Joneses effect Don't be fooled CC don't want people paying on the loan. They want you only paying the interest that is where they make their money.
  2. Isoc is justified because of the south. Seems the military could handle things better. Internal security is a problem for all countries due to politicalization. Everything in every country is run on politics. As much as we are in a new world. The military is still in it's leadership a highly political beast. Promotion are not based on what you have done but on who you are and will you toe the line.
  3. OP definitely does not know a lot about Canada. I am willing to bet he was one of those guys who pulled up at the NY/ Ontario border in July looking for a great place to go skiing. (yes it happened) Montreal is a nice place to visit and has a great nightlife. Would I want to live there? Not a chance. Hong couver or druggy central is a definite non-starter. It is Canada's version of San Francisco. I would take Trumpism over PetitPierreism any day. The big thing I found with Americans like the OP is that they come to Canada visit a couple of big cities for a short period and think it is great. My niece went to NYC with a group of friends for a weekend and thought it was great. OP I guess you have very little to say about the American midwest and think it is crap. Living in Kingston ontario I dealt with so-called Americans on a regular basis who thought they were superior because they were from NYC area and southern NY. The only people who had brains were those who lived along the border. You know the greatest thing about Americans that talk like this is that they are so superior you can make a fortune drinking them under the table at bars.
  4. wow suppose it had to happen but not often you see a male spa get hit.
  5. She would be a replacement the idea of a deputy is to step in and replace the PM if there is an issue. Not sure there would be anything the senate could do. BUT AGAIN TIT
  6. He was always under the bus. The only reason that he was made PM was that the senate would not even consider a Shin as PM, and she would have had the same fate as Pita. If you look at it as has been said the plan is coming together Thaksin is back. In February he will be free to see how he can get his sister back. And instead of Zoom and facetime he can run the country from his daughter's office and home. The only question is will the Sente and the money allow her to take the position or will they decide it is time to coup?
  7. Is it not right that he should AFTER ALL SHE IS JUST THE PROXY FOR
  8. The pressure on this kid had to be huge. First, he was in an English school because of what happened to him. He was away from home and the lifestyle he knew and loved. The whole family and their lives rested on this young man getting them out of poverty. He I ass u me that he was on a scholarship of some sort, so he had that pressure to keep up his grades as well as his football playing. That is a lot for kid and calling home is nice but it is still not the same.
  9. I did the same thing but the difference was that I had the account in my access, not hers. My suggestion is that you can do exactly the same thing BUT have it in your name with it going to her in the will. In the meantime teach her about money so that she is a little smarter than the average Thai lady. No matter what you do once her family and "friends" find out she has money she is going to be very popular for all the wrong reasons. She needs to learn about money and investments so while you are doing it teach her what you are doing and explain how she should handle it
  10. I have lived in Rangsit for 13 years and love it. Much like when I worked in Toronto, I lived in the burbs it is all about cost and speed of life. The one thing I heard was people complaining about renting 1 1-bedroom apt for 10k I was am livin in 3BDRM GARDEN HOME and until we bought it was only paying 7k a month. The cost of food is abut the same and now with the BTS it is even easier to get in and out of BKK and not deal with the big city or its pollution.
  11. Thanks it is almost a drive to immigration lol Hoping to find something closer to dreamworld part of pathum Tani but will keep it in mind.
  12. Hi, looks like I finally need to see a dentist. I live in Khu Kot so am looking for a recommendation for a dentist in the area that speaks english.
  13. Are any oi the bars going to be open for the final game? Realize that there will be no booze sold
  14. Simply you get there early and check in then if there is any issue you are not rushed to correct it. I prefer to get there early to get everything done and then I can relax until time to board.
  15. Start serving a few hours early. Sorry, it makes no sense. A lot of bars are open and serving at 9 and 10 in NANA. What a lot of them do is look at it as a chance to actually go home early for a change.
  16. Talk is cheap. Will believe it when Senate passes it
  17. Most people here are too young to remember but it used to be that bars were closed on Sunday and religiou holidays in the 60 early 70 in Canada Beer sales were closed along with LCBO
  18. Part of the challenge is that promoters for big shows in SE Asia want exclusive rights so that fans fly in. Also there's the price and if the person is a draw. Most thais have no idea who Shania is.
  19. Nah. 90 days in immigration but separate cell Then deport Willing to bet that there's more to the story
  20. We all if we have sex with anyone other than Rosy and her sister pay for sex in some way or another. It does not matter how old you are or where you live you still pay for it.
  21. Yeah, there is no way that the military and Elilte will give up their power. The other question, though is can the Mickey Mouse Club stay in power that long? The sneaky thing to do would be after negotiations put forward and agree to something that the PT could not refuse without Thaksin committing political suicide. Then see how long the club stays in power.
  22. The challenge to that of course, is that the fact that wages and costs are lower here means that we retired folks can afford to live here. The other side is that the cost of living for a lot of the people out of the country is higher. They just due to their life here are better equipped to live a simpler life in the new country. No one in Thailand is going to pay labourers 30-40k for construction. Imagine the cost of the buildings if they did. Also, consider that Thais are being hired to do jobs in other countries because the people working there do not want to do those jobs for those wages. It is an interesting set of circumstances. Imagine if hotels paid Thais 20-30k a month to clean rooms in hotels. Would Thai women want to do it?
  23. The best thing that could happen is the courts say no. The worst thing is they have to pay out 😂
