Stores rejecting Thailand’s co-payment scheme fearing back taxes
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Every Thai shop who accepted the 50/50 scheme deserves what is coming to them. By joining this scheme, they admit that they are running a business and the taxman will have no problem to go back to when they started business but never declared any income. When will they learn that the Government is not giving anything for free? -
Most of the people in East-Asian countries only can afford a Motorcycle or a motorcycle with side-car. In India, Cambodia, Philipinnes, Indonesia, etc. Motorcycles and motorcycles with side-car are the dominant means of transport. What makes Thailand stand on top of these countries by number of deaths in traffic accidents are: - the unwilling attitude to learn and adhere to the basic traffic rules - the beliefs that making any vehicle a danger on the road by removing lights or any other security device - the design of Thai roads where it is possible to an U-Turn in the middle of a highway where traffic runs at 120km/hr And not to forget, the attitude of the GFN (Good-For_Nothing) police corps.

Does Dating online in Thailand and Asia really work?
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No need to use a "Fake" profile. I made a "TRUE" profile in ThaiFriendly.com when I divorced my wife 12 years ago and I still receive now posts from girls/woman who want to meet me and even want to hook up with me. But 95% of then are "Fake" people who use ThaiFriendly for "Business" and ask after a few posts for online-sex or others things. The other 5% are mostly living on the other edge of Thailand; Have an extensive family (parents, kids, sisters and brothers, etc.) living with them and supporting them; or not really my taste (overweighted, very young, very old, etc.). In short, I would not lose my time on a meeting site if I want to meet a girl/woman with a relation in mind. More chance to meet a good girl/woman nearby in a Mall, coffee shop, etc. in less time. -
What do you mean with "Classical Music"? Medieval (c. 1150 - c. 1400)? Renaissance (c. 1400 - c. 1600)? Baroque (c. 1600 - c. 1750)? Classical (c. 1750 - c. 1830)? Early Romantic (c. 1830 - c. 1860)? Late Romantic (c. 1860 - c. 1920)? Post 'Great War' Years (c. 1920 - Present)? Most of the "Classic Music" were "Ballroom Music" at their times. A Valse; A Bourree; etc. were dance music and used at party's. The Beatles; The Rolling Stones; Carlos Santana; etc are Classics of the "Great War years" and could fit it this thread as well.

Everybody "speaks" English in dating sites. Except that after 2 phrases you can easily see that they are using Google or any online translator which is f...ing up the whole conversation. -

My viewpoint on online dating services: 1. Online dating has changed drastically the last 4 years and has become a place for scammers and gold-diggers. Few real people looking for a real match online. 2. Looking at Facebook dating sites (eg "Find true love with Thai girls") and seeing that every girl/woman can post 1 picture and get immediatly 1,000+ posts with "I love you/Marry me/etc." from over the world, I wish everybody good luck on really meeting that woman. Some of them are from rich countries and don't mind to send 500 USD/EUR to that woman. A woman I know very well started to publish a picture of her in Facebook dating sites and only chose people from rich countries to meet them for a week in Pattaya, Phuket or their own country and she has been travelling the last year over the world for free and coming back to Thailand every time with a lot of plenty cash and a several bank books/CC. 3. Most of these sites are infested with girls/woman who have changed their business from the bars to the online world and are there only to make money. Do you want to meet a girl/woman for more than a "one night stand"? Go out to the places where woman use to hang out and try your luck there. -
I don't understand why this is even "Newsworthy". With 65,000 humans a year ending their life on Thai roads and 1,000,000 ending normal life and entering the handicapped life, why is this isolated case even "News"? Don't think in "Western" terms, but start to realise that you live in Thailand where a human life has no worth at all. "Schadenfreude", a German word for this, is the best way to describe this "news".

Not sure about that. Electric cars are far more expensive than classic cars and the mileage per charge is far less as a classic car. I don't see any electric car driving overloaded as the pickups now. And this was an impounded motorcycle. In 2024 there will be far less motorcycles similar to that Ducati.

Nothing will ever change in Thailand. On a crossing in Korat where many accidents was happening, the government installed several cameras to watch the crossing. A week later, all the camera wires were hanging lose in the air. Destroyed by some people who saw their income het lost. The answer to the traffic problem in Thailand will come after 2024 when electric vehicles will make a big part of the vehicles on the road.

Although that rape of an underaged person is a serious crime, one should take care not get carry away with their feelings and starting to lynch the "alleged" culpritt. In 1985, at the school I was teaching, one of the children went with her parents to the Police and started a court case against a teacher and accusing him of rape. The girl was seen by a doctor at the local hospital who confirmed the "rape". The teacher was immediatly removed from his function to protect the school reputation and his life (he had a wife and 2 children) became a hell. Constantly harrassed by the police and court inquiries; His house was moved upside down in order to find anything that could agravate his case; etc. He could not go anywhere in town without people shouting at him and even physically treaten him. After a few month's, even before the trial at the court had started, he chose to commit suicide. A few weeks later, a boy admitted that he had "raped" the girl at her demand because she wanted to harras the teacher for giving her bad results on her test. Take care not to fall into haste conclutions.
