  1. The necropsy found garbage such as nylon rope, fishing net, plastic as well as banana leaf and nail used to make Krathong (floating basket) in its stomach and gut. Sounds like most Thai beaches to me
  2. Would have thought staring at the ceilings in Pattaya would have paid more
  3. Yeah, but unlike a battery farmed chicken on the shelf in Tops or Big C, it has a chance of life
  4. And reports on the same page saying exports are down and looking bad, rate hike will just make Thailand even less competitive
  5. Let's face it we all know they will be back within 5 years of any 'public' government to fill their generals bank accounts
  6. He's either telling the truth or a complete idiot knowingly displaying something that could have him in court
  7. Sounds more like the UK liberal left 'Migrants welcome here' policy
  8. If they have no CCP connections then send them back, I fully support the CCP dealing with them - harshly. (That's about all I support them on !)
  9. Like to see the deaths from smog/bad air chart compared to the covid one !
  10. If its as anything as useless the 4 years world cup TV showing plan then I have no confidence in it
  11. Seems like the journey to work on the bus now counts as Thai domestic travel !
  12. Wonder if you have to negotiate wear and tear ?
  13. "We want our freedom to go to Thailand and buy a Pattaya condo" they were reported as chanting !
  14. Idiots. You are in a hotel, a place full of people you do not, from any country and any class of people. LOCK THE FLAMING DOOR !
  15. Sounds more like the sons new boo wants the old woman out
  16. Looks bang average Thai electrics to me
  17. A house in the Chok Chai I am in start at about 2 million baht max . The rent is a minimum 10-11,000 baht a month. I make that an income of about 5% per year. It is NOT just about the house going up in value, its about the income you get on it also. If your house goes up say 3% a year, you are getting now near 8% per year with the rent on top. It's not about SELL profit, more about SELL and MAKE USE profit. My house in UK , say goes up about £10,000 a year (3% ish), but my rent on top is about £12,000 on top. So my asset alone is technically gaining £22,000 a year - far more than bank or government 3% As for depreciation - I have an agreement with my own tenant that he pays 80% to my bank and 20% on doing the house up. So far he has put in new bathroom, put in a landscaped garden (its his job), Decking, taken a small bit of wood wall out to open a room up, new drainage, new facia - over the next 3 years he is replacing outside wall and putting in new kitchen. Once again it is about using your noddle to get in the right person, take a small hit and have NO depreciation on the house ???? People in my opinion sometimes are just lazy to think properly about finance.
  18. Sure the junta will spin it as +1 in the vehicle sales column as the remaining family replaces the car
  19. I imagine 1. He will not enjoy the coming winter in Finland and will probably be homeless on return judging by his current lodgings and 'wealth', and 2. He'll probably be dead by the end of a 10 year country wide ban !
  20. Assuming say just 0.5% of the people of Thailand have covid at any one time. it would mean that a few people each day would test positive for covid at death, even if they didn't die of it - i serious doubt half of these died from covid
  21. No sense of humor these petty muslims - banning the crusader get up !
  22. Think I'd make it permanent in any heavy muslim area - worldwide !
  23. Bought my house in 1992 for £26,000, now valued at about £360,000 - money should go into property if you can, not a 3% investment bond rate, that will be losing money if inflation runs higher. If they made it inflation per year +3% then it might be attractive , rather than a money loser
