What about British MP's working as Lawyers and Company Directors and drawing their full MP's salary? I wonder if the Thai MP's have cottoned on to that yet.

"but Bangkok is a lot more pleasant these days". Very true but also a lot more expensive and not to forget the cheating taxi drivers. Also, where are the hotels around the 800 Bt mark? There were quite a few, and these closed during the Chinese Virus and never reopened. I can get a hotel or guesthouse for much less in Pattaya and then there's the cheap baht buses.

That site cannot be reached any more.

Be warned about Lazada fakes, they seem to be getting more common recently.

It's the 90 day reporting that get's me, I would not care if the IO office is at the end of my street, it is the thought of being treated like a criminal on parole. What other country does this sort of thing to law abiding retiree's?

The UK's Old King Charlie out medals everyone, especially with these loads of medals which were never earned.

I was told by someone who knows of someone else who sent his proof of life certificate to the wrong address and wondering why there was no answer back, got in touch with them and was told that his state pension was now being stopped. I read on the DWP website that they cannot reduce or stop your state pension. So what is it really, what can the DWP really do or not do regarding your state pension?

If a war broke out I would want Cambodia to win and take over Thailand. I am not going to state all the reasons why, it should be obvious to all the Farangs in Thailand.

Did the Senators another name for Generals ie the Military not stop Pita, the peoples choice from being PM by some formality?

"They want to remove a democratically elected PM". Democratically elected by who?? Unless I have missed something, certainly not by the Thai people.

Trans, all these working class voters thought all these liars of Labour PM's from Wilson right up until Blair and Brown were better than any Tory being in control. They could not have been more wrong. At least none of these Tory PM's Thatcher, Major etc started any lies and said they were the party of the working class.

"Farage is no more than a gift-of-the-gab, salesman". Anyone is better than a liar with a "Sir" in front of his name who is supposedly on the side of the working class.

Anyone has a higher standard standard than labour. At least the Tories don't pretend to be the party of the working class like the liars of the Labour government.

Thanks for telling me that, but can you confirm that Hydroxyzine is 100% non addictive?

I am the last person to have automatic respect for a countries laws, of course I will respect anyone's laws if in my opinion they are fair. Let me put it this way. When I came to Thailand to stay, I was required to go to the border every 90 days for a stamp in my passport. I did due diligence and saw that this was a fair way of staying in the country, I did that for a couple of years and then was a school teacher for a few more years. So I did everything legally and had a work permit. So when that finished I thought I could go back to the way things were when I first came to stay in Thailand. No chance, of course I could put 800,000Bt in one of my bank accounts, but I did not agree with that, so I had to go to an agent 500 Ks away in Pattaya to get sorted out , of course this came at a price. Compare that to when I first came to live in Thailand a few years previous, better still compare then to now when I have to make regular runs to pay an agent, do 90 days reports. Is it any wonder I have no respect for Thailand or some of their laws. It is so, so different to when I came here 20 years ago, and very much for the worse.

What about fakes? Going by what I read here and much personal experience, there must be quite a few Lazada sellers who are crooked. My last bottle on melatonin bought from Lazada did not work 100%. It had to be fake as the previous bottle the exact same bought 3 years previously was perfect.

I recently bought melatonin from Lazada for on the plane and it 100% did not work, does that mean it is probably fake? The time before that, the same bottle worked very well, but may I emphasis that it was only for on the plane and jetlag.

Sheryl, is there any particular brand of sleeping pill that is not addictive? I get the impression that some posters on here take sleeping pills probably melatonin very day indefinitely.

If you get a 90 day supply of melatonin do you keep taking one tablet a day for 90 days, or do you keep taking it indefinitely? Does that mean you are addicted to it? I am having sleep problems with about 4 hours at night and maybe two separate hours through the day, This has only started recently. I am too frightened to take sleeping tablets except for jet lag.

What is a browser window?

In the UK people people who want to use a zebra crossing just put a foot on it and the vehicles will stop.

Playing with their phones.

There is no humor where peoples life's are concerned.

Not in Thailand it seems.

We had that for nine years right up until recently, although I'm not so sure about the "puppet" part. When is Thailand going to get a democratically elected government? Is there not too many soldiers or should I say generals hovering in the background?
