I posted early in this thread and not read it all - forgive me:- Many years ogo I loaned my Thai brother in law 100 K Baht to get employment in Taiwan in tyre manufacturing business. 4 years down the track he sent everything he could back to his wife, paying me back and setting up a nice nest egg for his wife & kids. Does this government intend to levy a TAX on the wives of these responsible, hard working Thai's earning a future for their families?

Just a drop in the ocean. He is now at the top of the food chain. "Happy Days"!!

Tragic but when were they going to install the "compulsory" baby capsule?? Oh that's right we're in Thailand!

Takes some specific skills to achieve this!

These guys got it right:- Just chill out and open a "tinny"!

There was one aspect in the W11 OS installed on my new HP NoteBook I did not like. For whatever reason they removed the Menu Ribbon in Windows Explorer which was there in all previous versions. I found a fix which works perfectly and is reversable. It is in the registry so not for the faint hearted to play with. Send me a PM if you want instructions.

I'm thinking a lot of you have your "nickers in a twist" over an item that will not effect you!

IMHO:- As the "statute of limitations" draws nearer this appears to be a case of sour grapes by thoes who did not manage to get their snouts in the trough.

All I can see is a suit case full of prepaid vouchers = the profits are not coming here. Wake up TAT.

Wunda how much tea money they have to pay? Step daughters boss (in a govt. position) wanted 100K to gain her a promotion which only pays an extra 5K per month. WTF!!! We offered 30K which was accepted. She will be > 30 before she sees a benefit from her 5 years of university. BTW. Yes, we had to buy her "foot in the door"!

I live in a blue roofed home in Isaan and not sure what that part of your comment means??? But in saying that I do agree with your opening.

I live in Ban Dung and that is not typical of the quality of the beef we have around here. Can't see the rib cages, hip bones etc. and she is about 5 times the weight. In fact it is not a "Brahman breed cow".

Back in the early 2000's I contracted to Chevron for 3 years in the Benchamas field. The government squeeze to control the whole of the Gulf operations was becoming obvious, even back then, and Chevron was going to pay the bin! IMHO, mismanagement is Thailand's reward

Same here! When 3BB upgraded our service to "fibre" they did not remove the olde copper cable. Oh well, as all these cables run past our upper floor windows we won't have to close the blinds for privacy.

Ignorant and stupid statement not worthy of comment!

My 28 yo step daughter has been employed (after we bought her the position) for some 9 months in a local 'Orr Bor Tor' Office. Has spent more time here at home than when she was unemployed. Ahhh the land of the long weekend!!!!!

I'm sure they would if they could BUT the road is broken!

I certainly hope they are of better quality than the crap being supplied in their "mobility machines" flooding the Thai market place. The 4 x 12 volt (48 volt system) lasted 18 months in TW's trike. I bought US made replacements @ 1500 Baht each (used by Harley Davison) and 4 years down track they are still performing perfectly.

With all due respect to the injured one must be happy there are 2 more of these death traps and, hopefully, their drivers off the road for some time.

At least he loaded them in the Thai fashion without regard for pedestrians or anything else the spikes could damage!

Coming from Amphor Ban Dung and had it been me I'd rather be dead than:-

@ khun BENQ:- I use this type of machine regularly (only with a nylon cord) but see the locales use them all the time from cutting grass to heavy timber. I tend to agree with your assessment!

That's a lot of people to share the tea money!

Did the BiB bother to quiz the bar owners as to why they were still open at 03:30 AM?

13000 Baht??? So the machine pictured contained and at least 1000 bottles of water (most of which must have been sold). Errrrrrr!!!!!
