  1. If they would get new recruits and pay them more money and give them the necessities they need, then it would probably help. Give them monthly bonuses for hitting their ticket targets. All sounds great, but how do you deal with the mid to top level players. They run the game and are tied to many other illegal activities. I agree with above. Show me your proof of yearly salary and your expenditures. Their salaries surely didn’t make them wealthy.
  2. The big problem is when a normal vaper is asked to try this “flavor “ and 💩 happens.
  3. Only Thailand numbers have gone down. Who are they kidding. People are going where their money goes further and they feel appreciated as a tourist.
  4. Did mine yesterday. Painless and quick. Very simple process that takes very little effort.
  5. It’s very hard if not impossible to get any pre conditions removed from your policy. I had high BP then after a losing weight it stabilized and I no longer have any issues or need meds. They say after 2 years they will consider taking it off. Nope. 10 years and it’s still on there. Just be wary about pre existing conditions and the fact they are rarely removed.
  6. Would be nice for us retirees, but too late for most international travelers. When will they learn?
  7. Why didn’t they try to stop her. That’s my question.
  8. I see at least two to four Thais taking a piss along the roadside every time I take my dog for a walk. Guess they are immune to this law.
  9. Baht surges while tourism plummets. Good job Thailand. Another shot in the foot.
  10. Well educate the kids. Anything you video or take a photo of on your phone or computer can be made public very easily and you’ll live with it forever.
  11. Maybe just drop the 2 tier pricing for parks and attractions. That would definitely make them more appealing.
  12. Maybe a good idea to get a job for an agency first and see how everything works here. If you like it you can just go set up your own company, transfer your WP to that and go for it. Remember you will need 3-4 Thai on your payroll to get the work permit. 2nd option find properties post them on Facebook and say willing to split commission. That way you don’t really have to do much, just provide the info and get the key from the owner and you speak to him, but give anyone trustworthy the key for a viewing. If you go eventually someone will eat you out for not having a WP. there are at least 300 freelancers plus the agencies and developers.
  13. Will never change until they have a real police force that’s paid properly and actually do their jobs.
  14. This is a horrible time to become Prime Minister with everything that is going on in Thailand. Glad Auntin looks like the guy to step in now and I’m sure it’ll be messy for awhile. Hopefully the People Party will be able to clinch the election next year.
  15. Well it looks like Anutin will step in to fill the vacancy until the election comes around. Hopefully the People’s Party will win the election. It’s smart to let him take over now with all the 💩 going on. We will just have to wait and see.
  16. I really can’t imagine what Anutin would do to the Foreigners. He has been very open in the past about his views of us. He says he wants to make the country better, but hopefully that includes the foreigners who live here as well. I’d rather not take the chance.
  17. Prawit the man who can’t stay awake through a meeting and Anutin who hates foreigners. I’m a bit worried what will happen If daddy didn’t pay enough people off to keep his puppet in place.
  18. Well, he does have a big unfiltered mouth so it’s not really surprising. Plus with everything else going on they can’t afford to lose what little credibility they might have left with some.
  19. Well I highly doubt they will get back any of their hostages with all the bombing going on and the plans to take it over. Either Hamas or Israel, unfortunately I doubt we will ever know the truth.
  20. My 23 year old son just told me the other day that they are everywhere in Pattaya and near his University in BKK. Thank God he has a good head on his shoulders and won’t touch that stuff, but it’s easy to get.
  21. Sad. No Thais with those abilities would offer classes to the poor children who can’t afford it. Why bother someone who is actually helping the education of the children.
  22. Unfortunately as we have seen, the people have no say, only the money.
  23. I have had Tghai insurance for the last 20 years and have never had to pay any deposits. Sure my insurance may not cover a few things, but that's when I am leaving. Insurance does seem to be getting stricter about payouts, but you just have to fight them. My friend has no insurance and had a stroke. I took him to the hospital and had to put a 30,000 baht deposit down. Ended up in BPH for 5 days and the bill was around 350,000 baht. I guess it all depends on the situation. I do fight with the payment girl that shows up while he is in the ER and tell her to get out and I'll deal with it later. His health comes first. Then I will pay a deposit away from the ER. It is ridiculous to be putting a credit card machine on the chest of a patient while they are suffering a stroke, or any trauma. Hopefully you have someone with you that can be tough with the staff.
  24. If you’re unsure, don’t take the risk. You may be able to handle a few months, but then it will slowly work your nerves. So many things can and will happen.
