Also, the dollar is not the be-all anymore. It would not surprise me to see Thailand formally join the BRIC. The American debt situation, I think, has a lot of people worried. Then there is the election; people in the rest of the world are not sure who would be worse. Grandpa that can't remember who he is or where he is or TRUMP. For China, Russia and the ME it is TRUMP with his drill baby drill attitude that will hurt imports of oil. The U.S. used to be the land of opportunity, and for many, it still is if you get in illegally.

The funny thing is that the government has mandated that you can not use it for debt. only things you buy at TOPS or 711

LOL you have to be kidding RIGHT. Cancelling loans is the worst thing. All Thais will do is turn around and get deeper in debt and hope that the next government will bail them out. THAIS, like most people, needs to be educated about money, Good Debt, and bad Debt. They need to learn to live within their means. Even raising the minimum wage will not solve it. They will just blow the extra money. It's the same thing if they buy out the loan sharks. The people will still go to them for funds. Nothing the government does or will do is going to help except maybe changing the rules on student debt, but even that is a crap shoot. Car and house leases and sales should be regulated and if a person does not have the money t hen don't sellt hem the Benz

LOL This may be the benefit of paying taxes here. If I can simply show them my tax return it would make things easier for a lot of us I think.

Agreed. Also, there is very little chance the PTP and the alliance are going to go with anything MFP thinks is good. Therefore it shows the difference.

Digital wallets are what people use on their phones it might be attached to I'd but payment will have to come from phone

Anyone know how to stop this annoying pop up

This is going to be so easy for someone to beat the system. How many 16-20-year-old students will want to buy rice and other items? versus a friend borrowing their phone for 9000 baht? Also, how is this supposed to help the mom-and-pop stores that most people buy stuff at? Thhis will die the only question is when. So far, out of all the promises that these guys in the coalition have made, they have actioned 0. The big one is amending the constitution. If they do not make any meaningful amendments, then I think that you are going to see MFP in whatever form they are sweeping the country.

This is right up there with the Dims in the US saying that we have to ban cow farts to solve CC

My point I was making was that you had said that there were no countries as bad as here.

I found that reporting it at least provided me with a statement and made sure they knew

The minute after he dies she is gong to get hounded by family bbecause they will think she is rich and can pay all their luigi's as wella s put alltheir kids through school All the sob stories will start.

The challenge is like anything else in the world. The Chinese with their "labour" laws are able to create anything they want cheaper than any other country. This about this why do so many THAI brands have their products made outside the country. Imagine if they actually started making shirts and clothes in Thailand. How many people have bought someting tht was a souvenir to their country to see made in china stamped on it.

My APOLOGIES With AN I have gotten used t the people here that spout off and haven ot got a clue of anything but the bar seat. I agree you probably have a good idea of what happens and you have my respect and admiration. I fully agree that there is crap that goes on in these schools that parents should be aware of and school directors should action. In primary school up to about P4 teachers have a great deal of control. They can scare the holy crap out of kids. My issue is that there is such a rush to judgement and never any follow-up. Is he guilty maybe did the students do it to get him in trouble possibly. I am just finishing a book on the Salem witch trials and it is interesting in that 3 girls controlled the fate of everyone and had the ability to get anyone killed just because they said so. My comment is that in a lot of stories there is more to it. I taught Matayom for 3 years and could not handle the teacher politics or the students not caring. I also raised a daughter and the one thing that is missing in all this is communication and accountabilty with the teachers.

I really think you need to look at the figures legal in most of the US is 21. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/drinking-age-by-state

not sure I would want my wife dealing with the 4 am drunk who struck out at the bar and is still drunk and looking.

I wouldn't I really doubt he is too worried it may be that he only wants t cut Thai hair less picky. I look around and find one that gives good service. A lot also has to do with their rent. It may be that they raise it for you so that Thais can afford. Who knows, and does it really matter? Go find a nice girl who can cut your hair fora reasonable price

The funny thing is that if the PTP had backed MFP, then Thaksin would have been free and clear. The military Elite is going to have a fight as the last thing PTP wants him arrested again. HOWEVER, their supporters are going to want him in jail unless they want the fight about how the MFP can be guilty for wanting to put forward changes to LM and Thaksin can get away with literally slandering the king.

You have to remember these girls were not minors and definitely, at the age of 16, can understand the ramifications of what they are doing. The fact that the bar represented them as being of age will be a mitigating circumstance in this and will ne a definite factor. AGAIN, THESE THINGS P!SS ME OFF. As with all the school arrests and charges, we will never know as the media will bury it because it will not have the HEADLINE.

Gopod reason not to sit in the first 3 rows

are you or have you taught in a Thai school, or is this what you have heard? There is a huge difference. You obviously do not have young children. They know a whole lot more these days than most kids did a decade ago. They hear things on TV, YouTube, and other areas all the time. I have had Pratom 1 girl tell me to F OFF. She had o idea what it meant, but she knew the context. A check with Mom found that she picked it up on TV. I am not saying he did or did not do it. The problem was/is that these charges are made when the person is named in paper and media and then nothing, so all we know is that he was charged. The first thing you are warned about as a teacher is to stay away from all the girls and be careful of their interest in you and report it. There needs to be more info. The other point is that in most schools, the Pratom 3 teacher has little or no contact with the Pratom 4 classes.

I took my daughter to an Allice Cooper concert in the 80s in Toronto. Everyone was worried when I sat down until one girl asked if I was a cop. Once I said no, everyone lit up. The good thing about concerts is you do not have to buy you just have to get the CONTACT HIGH

I still have to wonder about this. Did he or are they making it up. I just read about the Salem witch trials in the U.S., and it is interesting that the stories were all made and accusations were made by 3 girls who wanted fame and notoriety, so they kept accusing people. Also the throw away the idea that a 10 year old would know anything abut this all they need do is YOUTUBE TIKTOK

The challenge is what did he know. Her consent is not going to matter even though to a point it should. The questions are Did he bar fine her from a bar? If so, then the assumption can be made that if she was working at the bar, she was at least 18 years old because the law says so. If he asked her for ID did she show ID that had her at 18 years of age. Again, if so, then it is not his issue legally. As to Western courts, it gets a little more interesting. If you go to a bar in Canada, it is the establishment's duty to only allow access to customers 18 years of age and older. If a person is in doubt they can ask for ID or ask her her age. If she is under 18 but has purported to be over 18 by the ID and answers to questions, then it becomes a different story, and I am not sure there is much of a case. The under-18 crowd used to be quite prevalent on military bases. They had the ID and they knew the answers. The only protection you had was to look at her closely and see how she acted and also ask other girls in the bar. Fake ID is a growing business. in all countries and here I am willing to bet that it is really big in the land of COPy
