  1. what a joke this is, she is there for her name only because her father is the owner of the party and paid for her to get passes at her uni because she failed misserably, the other 2 are a joke at best. Again we see how pathetic thai politics really is if these 3 are the only choices
  2. many year ago in Australia my mum was driving home just after 5pm(dusk) and as she turned a corner she nudged a pedestrian crossing the road wearing very dark clothes, luckily she wasnt driving fast so the pedestrian wasnt hurt. When she got home she cut up her driving licence and the next day put her car up for sale, she explained she didnt see the person crossing the road because of their very dark clothes but was worried her eye sight may not be good enough to drive any more and she didnt want to be responsible for hurting anyone, she was in her late 60's, she never drove again. Maybe this lady is in the same boat, eyesight failing but would also have to be totally brain dead to not feel/realize she was running over something.
  3. its been revealed that over 88 million chinese have covid in just one province yet this idiot stops any checks to make sure they do not bring it to Thailand, this is exactly how it all started but he does not want to upset his chinese masters, shows how pathetic these people are, they are ready to destroy Thailand to make china happy and to make money
  4. we bought a franke oven for our other house, very happy with it, always worked well, in our new house we have a teka oven and cook top, cook top is great and while the oven does a good job the touch buttons have never worked properly since new, trying to get teka to sort it out is impossible. One thing we did learn is that you have to have earth wiring for the ovens & extraction fans to work properly or they dont last very long.
  5. what you need to realize is that most thai drivers/rider have no idea of the road rules, refuse to follow road signage as well as traffic lights and have no regard for anyone else but themselves, then you have the condition of the roads as well as the lack of a police presence. I drive ocassionally but usually let my wife drive as she is more aware of what thai road users are really like, when she came to Australia with me she was amazed at the difference in the road users as well as the condition of the roads, no one going through red lights, no one going the wrong way up a street/road, police on the roads in cars/bikes, lack of pot holes and uneven surfaces etc
  6. I have an A52s, great phone, water proof too all features are excellent and only 11,000 baht no contract, cant fault it at all.
  7. what I find interesting is my wife informed me that one of a chinese man caught up in this gambling debacle has a thai wife high up in the police force which would explain how they have got away with it for many years, she also informed me that they were looking at building a village mainly for chinese people with wealth they wished to hide from china. Would certainly explain a lot......
  8. still very warm here in the south, aircon is a must, only problem is the rain, so much for the dry season, lasted 6 days
  9. if thais knew how to actually set the bass and treble it wouldnt be too bad but they turn the bass up full and the music distorts really badly, obvious conclusion is thais do not have any idea of how music should be played nor do they have an ear for it. Agree with the op, they seem to think the more noise they make the bigger their appendage
  10. the ship captain should be charged with man slaughter seeing he is solely responsible for the ship and the crew, really have to wonder if his position/rank was paid for seeing he obviously had no idea how to actually captain a ship and ensure it was fully fitted out(life vests/life boats) and in good condition, whatever happened to the captain goes down with the ship or being the last one off it, obviously his position meant he was never in any danger unlike his crew, again we see just how pathetic these supposed leaders are
  11. once again we see them making money more important than the lives of thais, in china covid has been spreading very quickly recently and around the world countries are making any chnese tourists have covid tests on arrival but this idiot is ignoring the facts because money is more important than lives. We are seeing the chunese once again spreading covid around the world and of course china saying testing chinese tourists shoulfd not happen, anyone else think that now the world is finally getting over covid china wants to bring it back once again for their benefit
  12. he wasnt chinese so doesnt matter, they must obey their masters as it only applies to those that must be obeyed
  13. our daughter was quite fluent in english before she went to university to study to be a doctor, now after 4 years at uni she just speaks thai all the time and rarely english and when she does I can barely understand her. Being a doctor you would think being able to speak english would be fairly important but it would appear that for some reason the uni has made english a non event
  14. when I married my wife I paid nothing, she owned 2 houses, 8 units, 2 cars and manages a large business, she wanted nothing from me(its called love), her relo's did but she refused. If you actually pay anything you are marrying for the wrong reasons, if she is really in love with you and not your money etc she will want nothing except you, her parents/famly can go play with themselves. The only ones after sinsod are money hungry a holes, you paying for the wedding etc and taking her off their hands is enough, tell them where they can stick their sinsod and you should tell them/her if there is any sinsod there is no marriage
  15. dont know why it took so long, two people in love, above the age to marry and not closely related should not be stopped, nothing else should come into it
  16. I was on disability(portability) prior to turning 67 so when I was offered to go onto the pension or remain on dissability I chose to remain on my dissability pension, as I had portability I just kept getting it. I have not been eligible for medicare for several years though as I am living outside Autralia and would have to return and have an aussie address to get back on it but my pension is safe, if you want your pension and have been living outside Australia you will need to go back for 2 years to qualify unless you have portability, have had a few mates that have had to do it before they were granted portability and could come back here. In Thaland you get the flat rate without the extra benefits but if you fly into and then out of Australia after a short stay you do get them for a short period, I havent been back for a few years so cant remember how long they were given to me on my return
  17. what thais need to realize is that when the wages go up so does the cost of living, this is just an election bribe attempt as per usual, will drag all the uneducated people in tom thinking they wil be better off when they wont. While wages in Thailand are low they are similar to wages in all the countries around them, yes they do need higher wages but they do come with a cost to them as well, Thailand is third world, it is not in the same class as western nations so wage difference should not come into it, the wages have to align with the costs of living in this country. A pay rise is great as long as it does not mean that the cost of living rises and puts the thai people in an even worse postion of not being able to support themselves and their families, wage rises do come with a cost and businesses will always make profits whether they are here or in the west, people cannot compare Thailand to the US etc or would the expats whinging about thai pay rather see Thailand collapse on itself trying to compete with western countries
  18. unfortunately in Thailand the law means nothing, the arrogant/uneducated drivers will always force the issue and do as they please ignoring the law completely, while vehicles turning left at a red light should give way many do not. If you are facing a red light you do not have any right of way what so ever over cars with a green light and must always give way to them, same as the idiots that drive straight through stop signs etc, many drivers think the laws do not apply to them or simply do not undestand/know them.
  19. my wife grabbed a reasonably cheap one(Mondial) and we have been using it for over 2 years a lot, no need to get a top brand, they do a good job and do cut out a lot of oil plus there is lots you can cook in them.
  20. picking a colour off a chart is not easy as they are not always a true replica of the colour and they can change in different light, always look at the colour in natural light not under lights in a store. The decor in a room also can change how the colour looks once on the wall as well plus colours can change the mood of a room, some colours are cool colours while others are warm colors, they can add personal moods as well. Colour was my trade for many years, if you do not have a perceived colour you want then getting someone that can actually tell you what colurs would work best for you can be very helpful(although I think that might be very hard here), best bet is too look for large colour chips, the bigger the better and place them on your walls in different positions so you can see what they will look like under different circumstances. If you decide to try using different tins of paint to find a colour make sure to use a roller and not a brush as that will always stand out after you paint over it and always feather the edge of any paint patch you do
  21. makes you wonder who got "bonuses" from the airline while this person was doing the books, looks like it was some very high up people seeing he has been put in charge after sending the carrier down the gurgler with his money management skills, the only way o get ahead in Thailand is to make sure you take care of the big bosses or have the right name
  22. always do the same pics, in front of the house showing the number, sitting on the bed, sitting in the lounge, sitting at the kitchen island and one in the yard, never had any complaints from them
  23. before going to university to become a doctor our daughter had very good english, great pronounciation and sentences, now she can barely speak english and always answers me in thai, really have to wonder just what they were pushing at her university to turn her away from english. She comes across now with a thai is best attitude and that using english is demeaning, if this is what they are being taught at universities it explains why Thailand is getting worse as an english speaking country.
  24. when will the police start making truck drivers responsible for killing other road users instead of letting them make up BS excuses, driving to fast and too close, not having decent brakes, not knowing how to control the trucks, this all falls back on the lack of police doing their jobs. The truck drivers need to be charged with murder because that is what it is, they do not signal, they do not take care, they think they are kings of the road and drive like it because they know they can hit other with impunity
  25. they need to do as they used to do in Australia, 10am to 11pm, outside these hours they need to have a special licence, anyone caught selling to under age kids loses their licence to sell alcohol, large fines and jail time, same for anyone caught selling to drunk people but to do this you would need a working police force, something Thailand does not have
