  1. Why on earth do you think that there is a risk using the Lazada app? My phone automatically locks the app away, along with my banking apps in it's payment safety box for extra security. As with most apps you can set up facial recognition and finger print for extra security. And let's not forget that many of the Thai banks are no longer accessable through web browsers, only phone apps. I do a lot of shopping on Lazada but I haven't logged into my account on the website for probably a couple of years now. In my humble opinion, the app is infinity more user friendly.
  2. I think the old ideology that Thai female with tattoo equals sex worker is a bit outdated. I would say that most if not all of the 20 - 40 year old women that that live in my village have tattoos. Non of which are bar girls. They are all university educated, happily married mums who do real jobs.
  3. What's the point of pixelating his face out in the photos but not in the video?
  4. Particularly one with a micropenis.
  5. Post a picture of your yourself and we'll let you know.
  6. Do you not think you are over analyzing it?
  7. She deserves to have the same done to her. I'll volunteer.
  8. I agree but the cynics will just say to the Thai revenue department aren't interested in anything like that, all they care about is just bleeding you dry. Whilst completely ignoring that the vast majority of Thai people will never pay so much as one baht of tax in their entire lives, no matter how much they earn. Supporting the Thai population through taxation and getting sweet FA in return isn't a very attractive proposition.
  9. It might also "clear out" a lot of good people. Spouses, fathers and mothers etc. Real people (not sexpats) who are prepared to make sacrifices and devot their lives for the greater good of their families. And because of this many may no longer be able to do so, not at the same level anyway. The riff raff you speak of are, in real terms a very small minority. And let's not forget that Thailand is almost completely incapable of taxing it's own citizens.
  10. Goodness, we've only got 3 and a bit weeks to pack up and get the hell out of here!
  11. All they have to do is search their luggage before they board the plane a Heathrow. If they find wife beater vests, football shirts or union jack shorts just don't let them board the aircraft. Easy.
  12. it's because Thai people never commit crimes such as this, only foreigners.
  13. I've never really been that worried about filing a tax return and potentially paying tax in Thailand. In real terms I only transfer small amounts into Thailand each month. But what does concern me big time is the actual logistics of doing a tax return properly. I live in Chiang Mai province with, apparently 30,000 other long term expats. How the hell are the RD in Chiang Mai going to process that many ignorant foreigner's tax returns within the first three months of the year??? We will all have to all camp out the night before just in the vain hope of getting a slot!!! This is a side of this that the government hasn't thought through... Okay, so maybe a percentage of the long term expats may work here and therefore pay tax on their salaries. But even so... People will say "get an accountant or a financial advisor" but there can't possibly be enough English speaking advisors to go around. And none of them can start working for you until this year is over.
  14. People who, in this day and age are still adamant that the earth is flat are the ones who make me laugh. Most of the same people probably believe that the sun is some form of deity...
  15. From my experience you first have to collect the free delivery vouchers. Most of the vouchers are 30 or 40 baht and you have to spend a certain amount for the voucher to be applied at the checkout. It will state on the voucher the minimum spend, usually it's either 49 baht or 99 baht. If the delivery price is more than 40 baht then you have to pay the difference.
  16. But If I moved away from cash I'd miss out on counting the money in my wallet several times a day to make sure my wife hasn't taken any! And were would be the fun in that!
  17. You have no idea do you! But then again, they do say ignorance is bliss! Why don't you just except it, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!
  18. It would appear that the plane was close to falling apart. I know that the oxygen masks are supposed to deploy in an emergency but should the air vents be falling down and injuring passengers? The turbulence must have been off the scale!
  19. At last. Someone who actually understands the Lazada return policy! Well done👏
  20. Firstly, you should never ever just give money. If they want a new refrigerator and you want to help out with the purchase then go and buy it yourself. End of. Maybe I've always been lucky. I live in the same village as my in-laws but I've never been asked to give any form of financial support to anyone. For example, earlier this year my wife's 88 year old father died. I offered to make a donation for the funeral but was told it wasn't necessary. Indeed no one else contributed from their own money because everything was fully funded from the village insurance and other sources. That's a lesson in itself for all those naive guys out there who constantly get put upon by their in-laws. Within the family I've always treated as a equal, not a walking ATM. Be a man,not a mouse!
  21. Does the average, healthy 47 year old male need to use the blue pills?
  22. Maybe it's something to do with being a "root" admin... Joking aside, lots of people who come to Thailand complain about what the water does to their hair.
