Check hotels for meeting rooms they usually have projectors and everything you need.

I think Thailand is ahead of most Western countries in many ways. The main thing is acceptance and the realization on both sides that it exists and is part of society. There are still hurdles but over all the stigmas and crap that happens or happened in the Western world have passed Thailand by. Kaitoey's are accepted and working in many areas of main stream Thailand. The Kaitoey life still and clubs/bars are more prevalent. However, as we all know there are many things about the way Thailand as a country has operated that need to be addressed properly in a democratic means. Equality for 3rd gender people for a legal form of marriage or legal status as a couple is just one of the things along with Better education end of corruption legalization of prostitution The Mary Jane question minimum wage and a host of other things that have to be looked at in order of priority. But the worst thing that could happen is for Thai 3rd gender to start acting like those in the west.

Just out of curiosity where does the foreign aid (Foreign Office) get the money for asylum seekers? Is it not part of the budget that is submitted to be included in the government's annual spending budget? Just wondering. Retirement is a huge problem in every country, that is why you see a lot of countries upping the age. No one considered tht after the baby boomers there would be such a drop in the number of people having kids or the amount of technology that now accounts for a smaller workforce.

It depends on where they are coming from and their medical coverage. Pensioners are great when we are healthy, and I agree, but as we have seen here, when we get polder and medical treatment gets more expensive, it can be an issue. Pensioners do as you said, aid the economy, but most countries are looking for people that will pay income tax to increase government spending.

My guess for why the ban. The actual ban does make sense if you consider this. The normal work was 9-5 Lunch is usually on a staggered time between 11 and 2 Growing up it was and probably still is not that uncommon to see people take a late or long lunch. Also remember that in Thailand people cared about government employees and not others. Therefore the last thing you would want is an employee drinking in the morning or not coming back after lunch or leaving early at the end of the day. As we have discussed on an almost daily basis here you can not teach stupidity. People will drink and will push the rules. However, you can regulate stupidity to stop it or make it more difficult. As to bars that are open during the time period they are usually in heavy tourist locations and I have never seen Thai drinking in the ones that I go to. One of the things we at times forget is that the laws here are not our laws they are not to punish us. They are Thai laws set out to "protect" the Thai people and businesses. AGAIN I am sure that while you can not buy a beer at 3 there is no reason that if you are going to want a cool brew in the afternoon you can not buy them when the store is allowed to sell and put it in this strange new invention called the refrigerator unless, of course, you are one of those weird people that like warm beer.

OK can someone explain why Brits want to move to Australia the cost of living is higher there than in the UK. Canada is a little cheaper but still.

Na, you have not seen the back of him I am sure that he will be able to find 10 people for Chang will attend his meeting and be a founder of the new. I like the old way of party Also he can still submit hit p[eces as a person I think

Other than money a lot of Thai girls are looking for a Western man just because we are more loyal and in some cases more mature than Thai men. When you talk about good looks I take it you mean the varying differences of HANDSUM because we are all HANDSUM. Gifts at the young age but i think it is more that you have the funds to provide the lifestyle that they want and are good to them. Talking to a mamasan last night and we were discussing Thai girls and what they were looking for and it was agreed that you could be the stereotypical Farang with the big beer gut 70 years old no teeth and wear Chang wifebeater with your crack showing when you bend over. As long as you have enough money then you will be the most HAMDSUMEST FARANG IN THAILAND. I try to stick with 50 and above less training involved.

This is not just a Thai problem look at a lot of Western families these days not only living paycheck to paycheck but room on CC to room on CC Best of luck! Advertising on here for the Phuket(?) crowd might not be a bad idea. Good food at a great price is not a bad thing and always welcome. Best of luck. Also when I had a business in Canada it was not a case of spot checks I checked every day. If you have a receipt system then you know what came in and what should be in the til. Not there then people pay.

The point is being missed and a lot of people miss it. When you were going out where dcid y ou meet girls? Work/school friends Pub/ bar/club Are probably the top 3. There really are no bars or clubs that single thai girls ladies go to that a western an fits in. Just think about where you can go in Bangkok for a night out dinner dancing or a casual night as a couple in BKK. There are not a lot of places to go. Those are where you normally meet someone. The idea that we always pick beautiful ladies is a fallacy. Yes, beauty has a part of it but there also has to be something else. The 3rd thing is that most Western men that come here are retired or nomads. We are not working and want to travel and enjoy things. With a Thai gf that has a normal job, this is not possible because many of their jobs are 6 days a week and getting away for a few days can be difficult. My suggestion to ladies that are going on Thai-friendly or some of these other sites is don't take normal mall or sitting or at-home pics. Take pics that are kind of wacky that show something different than normal and make you stand out. .

Don't kid yourself even if you are dating a Thai girl that does not work in a bar you are still paying the difference is how you pay and what the guarantee is of sex in return.

There may be a coup but that will only cause more protest as most people are fed up with the military. If this falls apart then better to throw out the election and redo it after fully reviewing all potential PM before the election.

But thaksin really really wants to come home

I don't have a rental contract to include but take gf with me as I am living with her. Usually because I have been here so long they don't ask. PT imm

This has to be the STUPIDEST MOVE anyone could make. He wants to be PM He wnts to change the way things are done. He wants Prayut appointed Senators to ote for him. Then he starts the same old song and dance that Thaksin, the Dem Party, Prayut and the military have been dong for centuries. Timne for a new election and a new nominee this guy is just as bad as the previous generations and has learned nothing.

I think with the hype, press and the number of charges, she will get the death penalty. Whether the powers that be allow it will be another thing. Also, the bleeding heart society has had nothing to cry about Thailand so maybe it is due.

Considering that the PT has Phaetong out of the country. There is a lot of talk and denial. I think that this is probably going to be a discussion. The problem is, who else do they get to join them? PPRP or UTN have to be non-starters unless Thaksin wants to kill the PT. The challenge is oign to be will the Senate agree to another Thaksin in power? Will the people allow anyone other than MFP? Do the PT leaders want to kill their party?

not sure if this will help https://www.austchamthailand.com/how-to-open-a-thai-bank-account-the-ultimate-guide-for-expats/#:~:text=You can open a bank,(more on this soon). I know 12 years ago I had to go bank to bank finally had GF go with me and we got one in a mall kasikorn but BB and others had said no.

Each of us are different there are some of us old guys that do not get it up as much as we did. It all depends on the lady and what she is looking for Most are looking for someone that will care for them and look after them. I am close 67 with 50 and what she wants is someone to talk to and cuddle with at night. The younger ones still have a sex drive but after dealing with the 30-second wonders are looking for a man that can satisfy them My suggestion is to try the dating sites the one advertised here is not bad and go on a few dates and see what happens. you might also look at some of the over-40 as some of them are a little more available. Remember that a 40-year-old probably has a JOB and life requirements that will get in the way of you enjoying your time. Also younger ladies are still looking for that house.

Unless PT comes to his defence and that of MFP, another election will surprise a lot for teh old guard inlcuding MR T. The people spoke and they spoke fairly loudly. Any attempt to remove or nullify this election will look bad on the military and the old guard as people will see their fear. The same goes for the senate. In all honesty, I think that the nullification will be a blessing for MFP or whatever the name of the new party is as it will probably end in them getting the mandate that PT thought they would get. This would pave the way for changes to Lese Majeste laws. more breweries, cannabis returned to its old status and the military losing a lot of its power and support as well as finances. Not a good move but hey what do we know.

I think it is more that they are Chinese and if they get out they are GONE

This almost sounds like politcal crapola. The one thing that I find interesting is the failure to complete the paperwork for foreigner staying at the residence. I thought this was all on the computer. It must be mom-and-pop shops that have a room and have been sliding under the radar. The one thing that amazes me is how much the defamation laws affect what happens and what is said.

I may be wrong but am willing to bet that a lot of business is done this way in china

The simple answer is that he could careless about Thailand this is all about him. The interesting part is he is waiting for his daughter to tell him when he an come home. I think the only way that works is if she is in power . Although I can see a deal based on lese majeste. Also how does grandpa look after kids if he is in prison.
