  1. When he came here and would have been able to get insurance in UK he was 59
  2. Funny most embassies are staying the way they are or downsizing. Me thinks this has less to to do with the embassy and more to do with a competition with China for the Thai market.
  3. 59 years old diabetic Anyone who thinks he is going to get quality insurance is bankers. No one is going to touch him unless he wants to pay through the nose. I feel for him but would suggest that in his condition and with the costs it would be better for the family to come here.
  4. Accordiong to giggle map it is Din Daeng road and Vibhadi road tollway
  5. 555 I heard from a friend of a friend of a person that works in the government that knows a girl that is dating a guy that works for the Prime minster and he said that it will be next year before they start to remove in Bangkok 555 BTW read the above with a smile is is strictly sarcasm. Your best and only bet is wot prepare for 14 day ASQ and book your return through Phuket. No one and I mean no one knows at this stage what will happen tomorrow let alone next week.
  6. Taliban not teleban LOL Besides that last time I checked I was living in Thailand and the op I thought was talking about Thai person.
  7. There is a definite fatigue or boredom issue. Having no where to go or not being able to do anything is a royal pain in the ass. At least they have reopened the malls.
  8. If a restaurant franchise were to run into that issue the Government would close it down until the franchise got a new franchisee.
  9. Problem is as far as we know BJ did not do anything wrong. What he was accused of was blowing the whistle on corruption in Immigration. Everything he did seemed to be for the good of the people. Honestly I expect that he will eventually become police chief. This is like the roaring 20's in the U.S. when cops were owned by the crooks. The problem here is that the education levels are so low and the pay is so <deleted> that no one that has a real education wants to join. If they are serious they will not only charge him with murder but also take a look at his finances and determine how he acquired his wealth. Send him to prison without his pension and confiscate everything he and his family has. That would send a message.
  10. However, for the employer to open they can only have vaccinated staff working. Government law Sure the employee can say that they do not want to be vaccinated and due to the present situation and rules that the restaurant has to abide by she would not be able to work. Not sure of anyone else but if an employee is not able to work and is considered a health hazard by the government if I bring her then I would giver her or him a choice if they were a great worker. 1. go no pay until the government says they are alright to come back to work, or 2. Bye bye here's your severance and have a nice day. The only reason I would give them a choice is that in my business I have to train a replacement. As to a restaurant I think it would be BYE BYE immediately there are a lot of people that I can hire that were working at other restaurants that are looking for work and willing to do what they have to to get a job.
  11. I used to swear on a lot of things when I was a kid. Did not mean I did not do it. Also I do not think he was looking form money. He was looking fore the drugs so that he could sell them and get the money. Going to be interesting to see how long this is a story and when the newspapers will be told toleve it alone.
  12. Just think what it will do to the tax people LOL
  13. And you trust the clouds and all these big companies with access to your info WHY???????
  14. Just out of the box What happens if mom sells you the house on a rent to own contract 20 year contract. With the stipulation that if she passes before that for any reason that you would then pay her estate the funds owing on the house. Of course she can in her will give you enough that you could pay the debt off and what ever the tax man requires. You could also agree at that time that she will become a renter of the house for guess what the amount of the RTO. Where you pay her X amont a month on
  15. 1st AZ in July as part of the 500 2nd shot sched for October
  16. If a tree is dying then replace it but most of those trees are still growing and doing what they are supposed to do. The money that is going to be wasted in this tree thing is ridiculous. I do not think it is the people with the umbrellas that are motivating this but the people that are selling the new trees and the money they will make.
  17. There are a couple of problems number 1 of course is that they are in fact possible carriers and are flouting the law. The bigger problem is that this could in fact become another version of THE BEACH. Also if they have booze the only place they can get it is in the village along with the food they eat.
  18. Right now the Chinese are in KYA mode. Not only do they want the metals that are there and control of it but they also have to worry about their own country. While we talk about the Terrorist hate for America. It is nothing compared to the hate that they have against people that rape torture and enslave Muslims making them attend re-education camps and beating them. And that is just next door. China is going to be very careful what they do with people and what they say about Islam. Of the big 4 in the world they are next I am sure.
  19. Where do you think most Generals go to work after they retire???
  20. Your situation is the reason that a lot of businesses are shutting down period. Better to go out of business save what you can from it either in storage or sale. Then close up shop until this is over. The problem that the landlady has is that the banks are not going to just be nice and say that she does not have to pay her mortgage or any of her bills and the rent is where she gets that from. It is a lose lose I think for everyone at this stage if you are in business. Pay her off give notice and shut down that is the recommendation I would give to all her tenants. Once things are settled covid wise there will be lots of locations to open up in and I think some of them will be pretty good.
  21. First as 1 soldier to another THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I lived in Pakistan in the late 90's as a military assistant attaché at the time I watched round 1 of the Taliban come into power and spoke with both fleeing afghans and Taliban senior officials. Yes most Afghan's knew it would happen eventually. As to inshallah that was the biggest joke that we saw also in Pakistan. My response was that once they would finish what I needed I would pay them INSHALLAH. iT IS MY FIRVENT HOPE THAT BOTH GAD AND ALLAH WATCH OVER THE AFGHAN PEOPLE.
  22. Does it surprise anyone else that there seems to be no mention of one of the biggest international news pieces. The only thing I have seen is that Thai's have been started to get repatriated back. No matter what your political belief or the country that you are from almost all of us here have either a. done time in Afghanistan b. have relatives that have served c. know people that have served. I wonder what your thoughts are after 20 years to the ending of this action. Personally I think it is long overdue. I do not however, agree to how it was actioned. Any private or corparal could have figured out a better system of withdrawal.
  23. Actually Thailand has what a lot of wealthy people want. The problem is that they will not allow them to get it. Imagine if the government took an Island like Samet or another island that has the beaches the access and not a huge crowd and said here. We will allow you to build a house for your personal living. That we will allow you to own the land. To set up a private island with your own security people and live with your own type of people. That is the difference the wealthy people do not want to live in Bangkok or own a condo in Pattaya or Phuket. They want to own a house/villa on the beach that has it's own private security people and that gives them the privacy. Condo's are nice for normal people but the rich want privacy and to enjoy the life with something they OWN.
