97.60 percent The United Kingdom recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 97.60 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. 122.30 percent The United States recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 122.30 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. I know the Thai economy is far from good, and the future is not looking so good, but looking at the above, I think we are better off in Thailand.

Watermelon a vegatable?

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 235 seconds  

A completely different ball game ,Tucksin's war was with the drug dealers selling Yar Ma, and Yar Bar, which as we all know cause a lot of problems all round. As the OP said the PM is trying to find a balance, not get the police on the street's guns blazing.

Do you still farm Napier at your place? Yes, in fact I just finished re- planting 1 rie this week, had to re plant as it died back in the hot season, just to hot this year. Planted a couple of rows back in July for root stock, it was 70 days old, about right for root stock. We are hoping that we do not get any flooding, our land is pron to flooding, just hope the new crop can grow before any flooding happen.

A look my Thai dictiony and asking the wife, I think Ebony in Thai is Mai -Ma --Glua.

This payment is going to disabled people, who will need it for sure, not just your Somchie in the street, I cannot see this having any effect on any market. If and when the rest of the populus get it that will probably have some effect on the markets.

I book direct, last time I was in the UK I had to change my flight date back, did it all online, and it did not cost me anything, you would not get that with an agent.

I will let you know if it happens, the wife's youngest daughter is registered disabled. So far, she has not been registered for the 10K, just using her disabled card, we shall see.

That brings back some memory's ,Dastaly and Mutly and co.

You are right, the undergro8nd lottery is almost a part of Thai tradition, a lot of money can change hand, it will always be they They have been talk about the government sell 2 and 3 numbered tickets, like the underground lottery does, one was not so long ago, but it has gone all quite again, it has been said there are some big players in the underground lottery, and they do not want they toes treading on, and are not for it, so nothing will happen.

It happened on his watch,at the time more than one person pointed (this is Thailand) a finger at him ,he should be on the list.

How will they get us Alian's to pay tax? quite easy, you will have to submit your tax form with your yearly extension paperwork, no tax form, no extension, job done. I am like a lot of people never have used an agent for anything, where I live in my rural area I would not know where to find one, I would say my tax bill, if they is one would be, compatible with what an agent would charge, it seems in our area you pay tax at your local Amphur, so when the time comes, I will just ask them, as I think I am about 1of not many farangs in the area, and they will not probably know about farangs paying tax anyway, should be fun.

Listening to the radio this morning this come up, my first thought was it Springfield where The Simpsons lived?, what Trump said, is about what one of the Simpsons would say.

Mine do, everything is paid directly to Thailand. I only use my UK account to receive monthly rent payments from my agent and pay HMRC any tax due, Pluss 1, I am the same Uk pension paid directly to Thailand, UK account to receive rental income, most of that money I keep in the UK as spending for when I go back, a few weeks in the Uk can soon write off a 1000 GBP, and that does not include the return air fare.

I would say they borrowed the money to prevent loss of face. Often why the dowry is so high is the cost of the meal for all the relatives and friends, normally the night before, you get 3-4 hundred people to feed that does not come cheap.

How loge before these crashes, like most Thai government websites. Or, will it be like the almost nightmare of getting the Covid free certificate before entering Thailand

I brought one bike, I had to tell the girl what she needed, it was just a copy of my passport and my visa/extension. Have now brought 3 new bikes and one second hand, never need a certificate of residence, just the above.

It already has, after the last big floods in Bangkok, people moved to Khow Yai and surrounding area. It will not only be Bangkok that will kop it, but I am also in Lopburi province, 140 Km north of Bangkok, and we are only 56 foot above sea level, and they are places lower than this.

If this of any help I brought the A15 5G a few months ago, it is all right, no problems, I am just a basic user, I have AIS's internet on it, the speed is good, it has been dropped, more than once, still keeps going, spends a lot of time in my shed with the radio on, into a Blue Tooth

My 10 Stang worth, I use to work for a land scape gardening company in the Uk, use to do big warehouses on industrial estates only had Briggs and Stratton, they had a lot of use, never a problem. As has been said, they is a supplier of spear parts, I think? Briggs and Stratton are cheaper than Honda.

You could try Bamboo, that will not fall over, quick growing, and you can eat the young shoots when they grow. One problem with bamboo is the leaves, when they fall, they get everywhere, but you could say the same with most trees. Make sure you get the right type of bamboo, not the 40-foot job, look at Pi-Leeung โผาลียง In Thai, and it has no thorns.

Am I surprised that different countries embassy's want different information, no, as we all know IMO in the country want different information from other IMO. The Thai word for standard does not seem to exist.

A, was well known graffiti ,'You can now borrow enough to get completely out of debt". Alot of debt is with the teachers, police, nurses ,or Thai civil servants ,it is time these government departments ,stopped loaning money out ,as I see it must be taxpayers money ?..........i.e. Wifes niece a nurse, not yet 30 years old ,has just had implants in her teeth cost 100k, that is on top of the 1 million baht she borrowed less than 2 years ago to get married, she earns about 35k Bart /month.

You have forgotten something, we are farangs not Thai's your average Thai still likes him. Like Isaid he brought in pensions and money for the handicap, one of which is my wife's autistic daughter. And I would say that killing drug dealers, a crime against humanity, the jury is out on that one, the last president of the Philippines did the same thing. Will say, those 80+people that died in the back of that truck in Tak not his finest hour, the troubles down south were happening before his watch.
