Or an 80 baht coffee. There have been times I've been so frustrated with the four or five minutes that this person is fooling around with their phone that I pulled out 20 or 40 baht and handed it to them. Here, take it, pay for it move on please.
In my opinion real man always carry cash. I hope that digital currency never takes over. I love having a wad of cash in my pocket. Always have and always will.
CBDC are a reality step 1 to Dystopian future. The Banks have been preparing fot this for several years now and will increasingly adopt it fro here on in.
deeply worrying.

Urgh... thats rather horrific... What a horrible way to go, not just for him but all those around him too.
I'd have been sh!#ing it on that flight... fear level 9 unlocked as I start to suspect something like hemorrhagic ebola...
One question though: If he was so visibly unwell, how come the boarding crew (gate staff) didn't raise concern ?
This happened to me a few years back when I suffered a stroke and 3 hours later internal bleeding through the mouth and nose. Fortunately I was in a Chiang Mai hospital and got appropriate treatment.

You can't blame the students the failure lies squarely with teachers and their obvious lack of skill and or knowledge in actual teaching
Raise the standards of teachers and pay them a living wage. This new govt. have earmarked 2 a measly 2.4% of GD for education. They need to start investing in their Human Resources and more science,technical and vocational training.

Thailand seems to enjoy messing on its own doorstep and this outrageous attitude has led to death because of incompetence or the spirit of pure greed. The hospital director should be arrested and the owners called to account. Another reason for tourists to stay away from Thailand. Was this hospital part of Dusit Medical services/ Bangkok hospitals.?

Makes me think of Bobby Charlton who recently died in a UK care home... result of a fall, not really his age ( 86) or dementia. Yes a Thailand care home is a good option... but hard for close family to visit regularly!
There are always apps and Zoom to stay in contact with family and friends so a minor inconvenience when compared to the advantages of staying away from the hellhole that is UK.which is fast becoming a failed state.

Simple solution.
Don't reside here on a non O/non O-A visa.....marriage/retirement visas.
Still astounded as to the number of old hands or long-timers that have bought into this nonsense.
@and your recommendations?

I would never buy in a gated community the houses are on top of each other , no privacy , your neighbors can hear everything
Clearly you have not looked very carefully as there are many available . Best to hire a driver and explore the options in the Hang Dong/Canal rd area as well at contacting some agents..the O/P is looking to rent not buy.

Why were they given cards and loans if they did not have the ability to repay said cards and loans. Shameful....
When a foreigner gets a credit card they must deposit an amount equal to their credit card limit. Why don’t banks do likewise with their Thai customers?

Anybody see the video where Kurt Schwab, president of the WEF, wants everyone to have a chip implanted in their brain? "Think of that".. he thinks it'll solve everything, can't even imagine that some may not want that. You'll be able to use it for getting social credit points, permission to travel abroad, to support the latest official line, spend money, say what you think. You can't change human nature, but you can change human behaviour. This isn't a conspiracy theory, they keep telling us what they want to do and nobody listens.
CBDC most worrying . It’s dystopian.

As in the OP they are leaving the public sector. They maybe just will not much longer tell an expat:
Don't do your operation at my private hospital -- come see me at the public hospital.
In English please!

I'm the same/was the same, will admit don't trust the phone payment idea, don't know how it hangs together.
SCB will be removing SCB smart next month so by bye that option too. CBDC likely to make matters worse when that clicks in also.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
in Thailand News
Posted
Why poor planning? Brit’s were not told about this when the moved abroad and believed they would be entitled to a pension based on their contributions not their residency!
