They should never have blocked anyone in, no excuses.

Anyone who deliberately blocks anyone in deserves all they get, what if the person being blocked in has a family emergency? Do they have to start phoning people and waiting around?

Does a senior honest politician exist anywhere?

"Rest assured, I will personally oversee the matter,” the Prime Minister stated". Of course, just like many of his other lies, ie there won't be a coup. ????

Yep!

I take it that was said tongue in cheek. ????

Why the up side down head look? No one can help a bald head, but a beard to go with it?? It happens to be a very common look these days.

Whether it is true or not, it was reported that the guy accused the DJ of stealing his smartphone, if it is true, then surely it has to be looked into.

Yep!

Seems like some of these conscripts and those volunteer enlistment soldiers have much better education than the unelected caretaker ex soldier PM himself. ????

"What point were you trying to make?" You mean you don't understand??

"Next thing will be a requirement for a Covid insurance." Yes, that may be coming up next, that is what all this is about, more money for the medical profession, and I do not mean the dedicated doctors and nurses, I mean the head people in the offices with their cash register brains.

I understand what you are saying, there are always exceptions, just like a very small amount of farangs think that the unelected caretaker government have done a good job in running Thailand.

Although I don't have much experience of it, I do understand from talking to other expats that in most cases, even in government hospitals, they tend to try and get as much money from you as possible, ie get you to stay as long as possible in hospital, more money for them, charging much more than the local pharmacies for medicine.

Did Thaksin not increase the money in the bank from 250,000Bt to the now 800,000Bt when he was PM? I do stand to be corrected however.

Even with some ridiculous immigration issues the good still outweighs the bad compared to retiring in the UK, except maybe a few years down the line when the lack of the state pension annual increases begins to bite.

"The 90-day reporting is mandatory for anyone who holds a long-term visa, such as a non-immigrant visa, retirement visa, marriage visa, or work permit". I don't remember having to do 90 day reporting when I had a work permit.

So far in this thread there has been no mention of a retiree having to forfeit his annual state pension increases.

I know this is not Thailand but back in Scotland driving a taxi, I dropped a couple age maybe 50's, at their guesthouse at the bottom of maybe about 20 steps. The guy paid me the exact fare then asked me to carry his case up the steps. Bet you can imagine what my reply was.

You would never be a friend to me unless you wear a shirt, even in your own home if I am in the same room as you. Wait a minute, is that a shower you are standing next to? That is OK if it was a selfie or the wife/gf took it.

When I lived back in Scotland I knew which friends of mine were over fond of the drink, surely you must have known what his drinking habits were like before you invited him over here. How long had you known him?

Yes it does Bill, big difference from this unelected caretaker PM and his Military Academy education. What education does anyone need to run a country? My wife has university degree's, but could she run a country. A third world country like Thailand should not be hard to run, but a first world western country?? The end game though is much the same, third world or first world, the PM's and cabinets are all the same, all out for themselves with the richest people always getting better off.

When I say the medical profession, I do not mean the dedicated doctors and nurses, I mean the penpushers at the top who work on the financials.

Maybe not, but who would you rather have? One is a soldier, the other is not, says it all.

Yes, but things could be a lot different now. Let's all hope so.
