Not too wory edication knot importnt

Someone's telling porkies

He's going to sue the Australian news paper, this should be very interesting

He is all over the Australian media, google him for some interesting reading,

I don't think it would be wise to put up all the links here

"Thai minister to sue Australian newspaper

A Thai minister says he will sue an Australian newspaper that reported he had spent four years in prison for heroin trafficking."

Whats going to happen when the Thai Government starts asking Retirees to prove where they got the Bht 800,000 needed in a Thai bank or for that matter where any of us got our money from to purchase properties in Thailand.

Will we need to show our tax records from our home country going back many years.

Don't laugh, it could happen

Netease, you should close your windows during night time when it is dark / you sleep.

People will not stop burning their trash for you. I always use aircon at night, no matter what time of the year, just because I know someone is going to burn some plastic next to me, more often than not.

Year I close all the windows and doors but doors don't seal well and my health is normally good, But the article is about Tourist numbers down and I believe what happens to me could be one of the reasons

Its the rainy season ... the smog/smoke is here in the hot season  .... and while we need more rain. The atmosphere has been outstanding,  since the heat broke last week. If you look out the window right now its raining. Like it was yesterday. You are in San Khampeng?

I'm giving my experience from arrival Friday its raining here now and slight rain last 2 days but this topic is about Tourist numbers down and why, I don't think all Tourist want to go on holidays when its raining

Air is among the best in the world currently.  If you have health issues then these need investigating, but air quality isn't the problem.  (Unless there is something out of the ordinary going on in the place you live, either indoors or the immediate area.)

 

do you live in Chiang Mai? Wife went SCG CM

smell of smoke was in the store

I arrived CM Friday night very healthy Sunday morning coughing badly and very painful when I cough, the nights are impossible with the cough and phlegm, this is the second time its happened to me I'm so sick I can't even advise the builder what to do or drive the wife to get building supplies, I'm out near San Kamphaeng all night I can smell smoke while trying to sleep i got medication yesterday,

But I dont think Tourists getting sick and nearly dying from the smoke will stop them comming

I mentioned that many expats need an FTT in front of their deposits in the bank book in order to show funds coming in from abroad for a visa extension and that this was an existential problem for many. I said that I have a BKK account and my last transfer went over Kasikorn and shows an inland transfer which wouldn't be accepted by immigration. I also mentioned that from posts by expats on TV forum it appears that many are now are losing confidence in Transferwise's ability to show compliance with the wishes of immigration and are preparing to transfer money through other sources.

I found the same with my last 2 transfers "inland transfer"

A bit off topic I have dams on my property and am told it illegal to to have a dam any deeper than 2.5 meters, does anyone know about this law

My wife gives 10% for good service and BHT 1  if the service or food is lousy just to let them know were not happy

So, when your making an online booking or for that fact a walk in and want to make sure your covered by there insurance or by your own insurance, how do you know if a hotel has a licences and is legal?

The only innovations I have seen in Thailand over the last 15 years are anti-farang measures.  Every thing else; floods; police inaction; road deaths; corruption at all levels; stays the same.

He was a cleaner there

Guilty or not he will be in jail for a long time before the case gets to court if he gets bail he wont be allowed to leave the country. First trial will definitely find him guilty could take 4 years then appeal another couple of years then to the Supreme court another couple of years. Bail would be around BHT 1,000,000. I'v seen this before for just a couple of thousand dollars

It does say "fake'' Botox, which tells me what exactly is fake..

 

Ever heard of a "fake" LV handbag...?

The products showen is not Botox they are cheap Korean products. Google Botox to see the difference 

Botox is a brand name and should not be used in the head line, they should be called injectables, The heading could damage the Botox product

I think you will find in these buildings most owners are from China and therefore the body corporate would be made up of Chinese, so bylaws would not be unforced 

Its not my fault I'm Thai, Thais always blame something else, I'm quoting from my 30 years experience with my wife
