I am no financial expert so I cannot agree or disagree with you. I am just so against a soldier deciding to get rich quick on the back of his guns and tanks. IMO this guy has done more damage to Thailand than a dozen Thaksins, just think of it. In the not to distant future some other soldier will look back and see how this present unelected caretaker PM has done financially for himself in the last nine years with his off shore accounts etc, and want to do the same himself as he will also have the guns and tanks behind him, and to hell with the Thai people.

Has he not been too busy sleeping? ????????

With the exception of car and motorbike insurance I have not looked at a policy in many years. If you are saying that there is no small print in insurance policies any more, then fair enough, that is the case, but what about all the legal jargon? You don't mention that, has that been done away with also? You would need a law degree to understand that. Along with banks, insurance companies are the biggest crooks of all.

I know your opinion about Thaksin and remember the rioting in Bangkok, but the yellow shirts did something at the airport though I cannot remember what, and I think you may be right about what could happen if Thaksin comes back to power in some way. I thing the pandemic stopped the protests against the unelected caretaker PM and his soldiers, and soon there could be protests and riots again against Thaksin or the soldiers, depending who is in charge.

What you are saying makes sense, though I think they may be a coup no matter who is in charge. The guy with the guns and tanks will always decide, that's just the way Thailand is and it will never change. I just want to see a government with no soldiers to see what happens, and take it from there.

I have not been here long enough during Thaksin's time as PM to know a lot about him, but I have seen the lies and corruption, Uturns and flip flops from the present unelected caretaker PM to know I do not want any soldiers anywhere near a government. I think of the country I first came to live in about 16 years ago, and compare it with now. Just no more soldiers please.

Yes, perhaps, just anyone but soldiers.

A very true statement indeed. Take away the guns and tanks and he is just the same as the ordinary Somchai in the street, and with much the same low IQ.

Does Thaksin really tell more lies that the present unelected caretaker PM? I doubt it very much. Or maybe it's just the case that Thaksin has the brains to cover things up where the unelected caretaker PM with only a Military Academy education doesn't.

If that is true it sure makes a change, insurance companies have their small print, it is small because they do not want you to notice it, and then there is their legal jargon made out so the people with no legal knowledge (which is most people) do not understand it properly, and just accept it when their claim is refused.

I am not going to disagree with you there.

Tell me any western country who's government is not filled with potential crooks, ie there is an MP in the UK who has been in the news for claiming living expenses while living in her parents house while also claiming for her own property. She has an MP's annual allowance of around £85,000, plus she get's other wages/wage for "part time work" of around £65,000 annually as well.

I don't care if he has said virtually nothing or stands for nothing, though I would prefer Thaksins daughter for her good looks, if I'm honest, any of the average Thai people with the average Thai IQ would do me fine as the next PM, just as long as there are no soldiers in his/her government in any shape or form.

That's true, I did not have to pay any fee's, but my Bangkok Bank just stopped it without giving a reason.

Where Bangkok Bank is concerned, in my experience, that is only a minority.

My experience with Bangkok Bank would say only a few selected, when I questioned it I was told only certain branches had the equipment to do it.

It has been a few years since I did that with Bangkok Bank, then the branch I always used suddenly stopped it, after trying other branches unsuccessfully. I started using Wise which has been very successful.

Bangkok Bank charges me 400Bt for my debit card and 500Bt for replacing it after it was lost. I would love to change banks but it will cost much inconvenience, ie my regular transfers with Wise etc, etc.

I never needed prostitutes when I was younger, but if I'm honest and found myself single again, I probably would as I don't have the looks I had when I was younger.

The ratio is about 1 in 20 in the UK I read somewhere.

I did when I was 18 and just starting playing in a band semi professionally. there was plenty of opportunities and I sure made the most of them.

I think that figure is just about right.

Is that for about the bargirl marriages? That would be about right, but I don't think that will be the case for non bargirl marriages.

Most of the farangs I have known in the 16 years I have lived here have been married to ex bargirls. Maybe about 50% of them have been successful.
