A 91 year old to be tried in juvenile court?

I was alive at that time, and I will never forget or forgive ALL germans for their butchery! not to mention their complete lack of human decency they were all devils and got what they deserved on both wars which they started! there are no innocent germans! they are ALL responsible for the actions of that pervert hitler! when my brother entered germany with the U.S. Army he said that he could not find one nazi! it seems they all dissappeared! not one german admitted to being a nazi so he treated them all the same! a swift boot in the ass if they did not obey the soldiers!

even today i find the germans hateful people and avoid them like the plague!

I am sorry you feel that way. Your observations are definitely correct, in the end nobody wanted to take responsibility. But not everyone was responsible.

My grandparents, who lived close to Buchenwald, were put on trucks and driven bei the Americans to the Camp to see the atrocities. They had no idea about how bad things went. BTW they were Communists....

Anyway, time has changed. They majority of German people are actually quite decent folks. That is not to say that there are no hateful Germans. There are plenty hateful Americans, Israelis etc.

Give people a chance.

For child support visa you need 400k, I believe.

Entered Friday night. Phone number was required. No idea which one though....

There can never be a justification to kill civilians, children etc.

If we argue that killing few (relatively) saved many, humanity is lost. Philosophical question really. Anyway, I vote for Not justified, however I do recognize that the decision was made in good faith.

And Rowan probably needs a new job.

She is not being asked to perform a marriage, just issue a license?

Does this give a state official the right not to issue a hunting license, because they are a vegetarian.

This woman is a Christian version of ISIS.

I do like your comparison with the hunting license. However it should be the religious believe that prompts the clerk to be vegetarian...

If I would not perform my duties because of religious believes, I suppose I get sacked quickly. This lady needs a new job too.

I am much more distracted with all the Chuck Norris and Che Guevara pics on Truck Mudflaps.

Also excessive lighting (like 1,000) bulbs on a bus are distracting.

The foam key is not distracting to me....

However, if it is improperly affixed, then a fine is Ok, as it could "fly" off the car. Same fine as for unsecured pickup loads etc....

This topic is a wind up, NO?

Agree that German are in the wrong country if they think that they can call the police for such stupid reasons as they do at home...

That goes for everyone, not only Germans.

IMO å typical tourist spend once or twice a year 2 to 3 weeks on vacation. That should be true for 90% anyway. These tourist are absolutely fine with current rules. People with genuine B, E, or non O visas are fine as well.

As for the long term tourists, expats, etc. Just sell the visas 50-100 baht per day should be reasonable.

Do it all the time for bits and pieces. Mostly from Hong Kong or China, but also locally, or Korea and Germany. Seldom paid tax. Tax system is often not enforced.

Just a note on the practicality. I hope that these ฿35 or $1 is conveniently added to the ticket price. Remember the days when we had to have ฿ 500 in cash and baht to pay departure taxes....

Don't mind the money, just don't want to hassle with coins....

I have HP 1510. Think it is ideal and cartridges are reasonable.

When I was a little boy say 5-8 years old, my grandparents used to send me to the pub to buy some bottles of beer for them. I loved it, because the owner always gave me a free Lemonade...

What is needed is a more "normalized" approach. All these restrictions are making it even more interesting for young kids / teens to consume. In an ideal world all this would not be needed.

There are too many laws already, start with enforcing some of them.

A good friend has been a Chef for years. In his business he says there are always people sending back perfectly good meals to the kitchen, and who expect freebies and extras.

"Noo no Mr. and Mrs. Smythe it was your anniversary LAST week, no free puddings today".

Now he says by far the biggest irritant is now social media. He sometimes has people coming in with an air of self-importance threatening to rubbish him anonymously on TripAdvisor the moment they sit down like they are some kind of influential restaurant critics. They best thing to do is ignore them. Every good place has many good reviews, then you see some terrible stories. If you link to these negative posters you will find they hate everything and trash every place they go.

Honestly, no reasonable chef should expect a 100% guest satisfaction all the time. People have different tastes and expectations.

I do like social media from both guest and operator sides. When I go to a place I don't know I tend to check it first online. TripAdvisor being my preference.

I tend to differentiate between general trends in rating versus one off remarks.

No point of fighting the developments, just go with it and as business owner or Chef, respond to criticism professionally.

Thailand is as good of a place like many. I would stay but travel often.

Get a fulfilling hobby. Whatever it may be. Personally would start with building a great place to live. Then maybe a huge garage and tinker around with some old cars. A large vegetable garden. Off grid solar panels everywhere etc.

Then do something good. Let less fortunate people profit from your wealth. If you could combine it with one of your hobbies, even better.

Do Not buy friends.

I have never expirience anything like the OP describes. Treat people respectfully and usually same respect is extended back to you.

Much depends on your location and the times you require a driver. Also if you just want somebody to drive you around or a propper chauffeur.

My best guess is starting at 15,000 and top driver 40 k. Provinces surely less .

For what I see and read it is probably double the price then it should be.

Do some more research.

I`ve had 5 quotes, cheapest from thai for shell for...."about" 1.5mil for finished for "about" 2 mil.....? about means????... it would probably be much more.

From reputable builders for completed the best quotes have been 2.6 mil finished. Several have posted it should be half price...does this include everything on the spec sheets?

I would appreciate the contact details for these builders so I can benefit from these great prices?

thanks....Martyn

please take some of the comments "should be much cheaper" not only with a grain but a table spoon of salt Martyn

nobody is able to judge the quoted price because detailed specifications do not exist. a home with a living area of 150m² can cost in Thailand (ex land) between 1 million and easily 10 million Baht. Thaivisa threads exist (photos as proof submitted) that homes somewhere in remote rural areas were built even below one million because relatives were used as workmen who were paid 150 Baht a day plus food.

but i'd have no problems to work out specifications which no builder could do below 12 million and i am not talking about 24k gold bathroom fixtures or door handles made of platinum.

slightly off topic. i worked out the specifications for the home i built 10 years ago. they comprised 32 pages plus approximately 120 sketches as well as detailed drawings. but if i had not been the first one to arrive and the last one to leave the construction site (and that for 11 months) the result would have been a disaster.

Apologies for making the blanket statement that the price is too high. Agree with it all depending on specifications.

Try to get a net price for the shell and by the materials for the finishing yourself.

Good luck and keep us posted how things go.

Agree with all the posts regarding the need for you to be present when it is built.

Let us know how it goes. I am curious. We live here for many years and could not manage on that budget. Accommodation aside we would spend easily 2k on simple food, beverages and a couple amenities for our two kids ( 6/11).

We did not get weight checked on last Air Asia flight. Seize was way under, but it they had checked for weight.....different story because of camera, laptop etc.

Can it be done online?

I'm not naive, and yes, off course I try to find the Internet on my smartphone. I can't find any information about working on a non-b, with a fake degree.

So my question again, can you get problems with that?

It is illegal. Not even a grey area. What else you need to know?

Completely illegal, immoral and stupid. Thai kids need qualified legal teachers, not people who just want to be with their girfriend

I am so with you on this Jacky.

For what I see and read it is probably double the price then it should be.

Do some more research.

Yes, provided rules / charges are published.

Politely ushering them out would be the better option I think.
