hahahaha, they dont want to lose their back handers, too much money for them to just let drop

only if the parent is allowed to hit the teacher back when they find out, no teacher should ever hit a student, it is assault

we bought a new set of curtains from a lage retail store(they are all over Thailand), got them home and when we opened up the plastic cover out popped a bag of pills. Wasnt sure but had suspisions so did a google search on the shape imprinted on the pills, turns out they were meth so crushed the bag/pills and flushed all the contents. Have to wonder if they were using the business as a means to transport them all over the country or one of the staff was using the curtain cover to hide their own supply but there were quite a lot in the bag, probably 50 or so

welcome to Thailand, here if you are rich and have the right family ties you can shoot a police officer in front of a crowd of people then be awarded with a paid position instead of being charged, killing people is allowed if you are rich but being poor you are locked up for years for just picking mushrooms. The police & government in Thailand are so corrupt its not funny, wealth & position means you can do as you please which is why so many thais want to be in the police force/government, they want in on all the graft etc that comes with the jobs

total joke, the leaves do nothing what so ever, the head is the only part that has any effect and is worth using, really have to wonder at the idiots running this sh*t show, no sense even growing it if the heads cannot be used. The leaves themselves are not worth spitting on yet we see shops adding leaf to drinks and food, all it does is give everything a bad taste, thc is in the heads and the trim from them, they either have to agree to let people grow for their own use or put it back on the banned list, licencing sellers is probably the best thing to do for selling it as well as allowing personal users to have a couple of plants only

I grew up in a poor family after our dad died after spending many years in hospital, the best food we got to eat was the left overs from the saturday night function hall where our mum had a third job, most of our clothes were second hand or hand me downs too. We had very little, school was a 45 minute walk or we could ride our bikes(second hand) there, any other travel was by bus after walking 10 minutes to the closest bus stop but we did it. The problem here in Thailand is a lot of people are just plain lazy and refuse to walk any distance, you only have to see how many double park blocking roads to go into a shop when they could park properly 10 metres away and walk back. If thai kids road bicycles there would be a lot less deaths of young riders too but again they refuse to do so even though bicycles are a lot cheaper than motorbikes/scooters and its down to being lazy & loss of face. The amount of idiot riders on that roads is over the top and most of them are to young to have a licence and shouldnt even be riding them but parents just dont care and neither do the police, it has nothing to do with being dirt poor.

family friends lost their 19year old son & his girlfriend yesterday when his bike was hit by a pickup that decided to drive through a stop sign and not give way, boy died at the scene and girl died in hospital later. Driver reckons he didnt see them but it is a very open T intersection, bike had right of way as well but typical of many thai drivers the pickup didnt want to stop, they think that stop signs are a recomendation only and if they want to be ignorant they can ignore them. Really hope he is locked up as it should be murder but he will more than likely get off, the arrogance of many thai road users is a major problem, they think the road laws dont apply to them, police are at fault for not enforcing the rules, if they actually got out on the roads as they do in the western countries they might just make a difference

I bought a 30,000 baht lap top in 2018 when I was travelling a lot more but since covid hit I rarely use it, probably used less than 50 times, its an asus a550v, intel core i7(3.5gb), 8gb ram(I had an extra 4gb added), 1tb hd, just sits in its case now, doubt I will ever use it again. Was a great buy at the time just not needed anymore.

a thai divorce is the best way to go as anything you had prior to marriage remains yours and not hers, you are also entitled to 50% of what you had in Thailand. If she wants half of your UK business she must then get her own UK lawyers etc and take you to court, if you owned the UK business prior to marriage it will also be in your favour plus you can always give your daughter a pecentage of the UK business lowering what you wife is able to claim if at all

mate, pointing out the obvious does not mean you hate it, love living here, would never move back to Australia but I also see many of the downfalls here due to lack of schooling, way some people think or dont think at all plus the incompetence of many as well as all the fraud & graft. Even when you are in your own country people will have a bitch about the same things plus you also have to accept that many thais actually complain about these same things as well. Best thing I ever did was move here many years ago, marry a wonderful lady & have many great thai friends, if you think being honest about what you see etc is hate then the problem lies with you not them

A friends daughter lost all her bank savings yesterday when she was conned by the people running this web site , she saw it on a gaming site(she is young/student) saying they would return more than paid, she sent 2000 baht and got back 3000 baht so she emptied her bank account to them and got nothing back. She was too embarrased to do anything about it because she doesnt want to look stupid but has been convinced to go to the police and report it, I have looked up who is for them and while the registrants details are not showing it was registered in the US, the fraud people at the police station should be able to get onto them fairly quickly as she is going to hand over all their other contact detals, bank account she transferred to etc. Might pay to warn family and friends about this website as they appear to be hitting up younger people/students

have to wonder how long or how far they let chuwit go before he has a nasty accident or simply dissapears, outing thai police and chinese criminals can be bad for your health in Thailand

if you are not signed in when you hit the buy or cart buttons you get this problem, you need to sign in from the top of the page using the sign in button then add it to your cart or buy, I have had this problem for some time, easy to sort out though

lack of qualified tradesmen is the reason any building in Thailand are very suspect, cheap materials so more profit is made, govt jobs being given to the cheapest quote so the awarding officer can pocket more money, the winning contractor then getting their own quotes and keeping the difference from the lowest quote again, this is repeated till there is not enough money to use quality materials and they have to use cheap labour and cut corners. Any tecnical people overseeing the construction/s are told to toe the line or things will happen to them and their families, people winning quotes being killed( a family friend was shot after winning a quote,), the graft & corruption is that bad in Thailand what else can you expect but suspect work on everything from roads to bridges and buildings, profit/graft over rule everything else, roads fall apart within months because no raod base/just red dirt used(if at all), bridges collapse due to second hand materials and buildings fall apart/floors collapse etc due to garbage materials/lack of oversight

creating another office/department where they can collect even more graft from the ones already using graft & corruption to enrich themselves, they do nothing unless it enables them to make themselves richer, none of them are honest, they are all criminal

this is the problem in Thailand, they refuse to see the corruption because many want in on it, money rules and they dont care about the state of the country, lack of a decent education means they are not capable of realistic thinking/rational thought. Instead of voting for someone that will actually try to make the country better they vote for corrupt families that are only there to benefit themselves, we will not see Thailand begin to improve until such time as there is a decent education system so that the people are capable of independant thinking. Currently the parties are only interested in getting their snouts in the trough, I doubt another shin will be any different as the party members are known for their corrupt ways in the past, instead of just using the shin name for another puppet leader the country needs a pm that will stand up for the people and not the corrupt parties

Had to be done within a couple of weeks as the phyto certificate would need to be replaced( a 4 hour round trip) if we waited too long as they expire

UPDATE, we got a reply on our email to a head person in customs, there were no new regulations and that if there were we would not have been issued a phytosanitary certificate, he also said that dhl are responsible to ensure that all documents required is supplied(they were by my wife), he also told us what was required to send seeds overseas(everything was done as required by my wife, she also has an export permit) and he appologized for any inconvenience. Seems it rested on dhl but rather than let it drag out we did pay the 1000 baht (online transfer) and the package was shipped out straight away which does make their excuse that it was not allowed look suss

my wife has done if a few times over the years, it is purely a religious thing where they can get close to Buddhism through what they eat, how they sleep(both without their normal higher standards) plus meditation. Wats also support older ladies when they need somewhere to stay, my wifes mother is getting cancer treatment but the hospital(very close to the wat) is several hours drive from where we live so she has no where else to stay, locals supply all the food etc needed for her and others that are there while they are being treated, it is nothing out of the ordinary for thais to do, some farangs just think too much

trouble is islamic teachings are based on hundreds of year old teachings and they refuse to modernize apart from how they wage war on people, they do not like anyone refusing to do what they want them too, time for the govt to tell them to stick their teachings where the sun dont shine

In the cases of rape, incest, mental stability and the persons age I believe abortion should always be a choice, what I do not believe is that abortion should be a way for women that sleep around having unprotected sex with many men to cover themselves. When you see women stating they have had multiple abortions and should have the right to do so because they dont want to take any responsibilty for what they do you really have to wonder, what people also have to realize is that this does not stop abortions, women can still have them under certain circumstances as well as in many states, the original desion for abortion was always under a cloud as the govt had not set any laws regarding it, if they had then it would not have been removed, abortion should not be used to replace contaception, my opinion only

hahahaha, they dont want to upset their chinese masters and have to give back their cash incentives, what else can you expect from these cretins

problem is more to do with the way the thai houses have been built, they dont do any soil testing before work begins to make sure slab and posts are correct depth/thickness, do not prepare the ground under the slabs so the foundations are always suspect, all work is done by self taught lackies never tradesman, cheap materials are used, ratios of cement, sand etc are all guess work, walls are one brick in width then rendered on each side, extensions are not locked into the existing building plus the slabs are usually just poured straigh onto the ground and they wonder why the walls etc start to crack. Looking at the pics you can see it is where there are joins to either an existing wall, next to a concrete posts etc, all look like the work was not done very well in the first place

as long as anyone putting it into food and drinks makes sure customers are aware they are doing it and are being given the choice of not having it added I cant see a problem, if they are adding it and not warning customers they are doing it then they need to be charged, there are always some people that will have adverse effects so need to be aware what is being put in their food/drinks. Personally I am seriously looking at getting some to see if it will help eleviate my pain, might have to make some mild cookies, last time I made them to help with my withdrawls to pain killers I made them way too strong & they zonked me out for a couple of days but did the job

thats what we are thinking, they would not issue phytosanitary certificates if it was not allowed, trouble is getting some official to answer our queries, we have received emails from her friend in Tahiti that he got from DHL as well saying customs have stopped it but that just doesnt ring true
