Murder suspect poses as foreigner and flees to Hua Hin
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Do you really think they even bothered to look at it? Their eyes were surely on the focus if the money being spent rather than if the buyer was legitimate. -
Homeless Couple in Khon Kaen Penalized for Having Sex in Public
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
so remember folks... only say good things about what you read and see here. lest they block or ban you for saying what you really think.. i am curious if the Thaiger has this policy in their website. Or if the moderators are going to far in this. As for the comments i am replying to in the quote. I expect mine will also be deleted or edited. 200 baht for a quicky on the side of the road. Can not get any cheaper than that. I would guess this was not their first rodeo. I am curious though based on the photos provided so generously. Does they insinuate there are many women homeless ready to have sex with someone for so little money? 2 women laying there looking like they are ready for whatever comes by. Hmm... What was the address again to find them? -
Exotic pet trainer attacks South Korean in Pattaya ‘coin-troversy’
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Why is this? Clearly it is assault with intent to harm.. Why they can not determine this man is a menace to society and violent and attacked someone physically causing harm. Instead they should have charged and arrested the Thai man. If a foreigner had done that he would have been arrested. When will the 2 tiered justice end. Throwing money is an insult to Thai. But it is not violent and does not cause harm and injuries. -
I would suggest you go to Siriraj hospital. They actually took care of my back very good and I have had multiple procedures there. They imported a doctor from Australia when i needed laser surgery to sever some nerves in my back. Also, they have a pain management center specifically for the back. I was getting special massage therapy and heat therapy on my back at the hospital for several months. Their cost is not as much as private hospitals also. But they have very professional doctors and service being the Kings hospital. If you want to go in the evenings they also utilize the hospital next door which is private but not as costly.

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
thesetat replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is my opinion that if i am having to pay taxes, then i should not foreigner charged for buying or doing things. If you are a tax payer then the country should treat you as one. Not treat you as an extended stay tourist. Are we not paying enough already being overcharged just because we are foreigners? I know for sure the extra costs we incur are surely more yearly than any tax i would need to pay. This article sheds no new light on any rulings we need to know about as a long staying foreigner. As of now, nothing has been settled as to the standard we must follow. However, I think the government should consider the facts about what we actually pay by living here. The additional expenses that NON-Taxpaying citizens and the few tax-paying citizens enjoy with cheap prices. I have been considering buying an air machine from the government hospital. They told me as a foreigner I would need to pay 25% more than the listed price. That is almost 20,000 baht more than the cost for it simply because I am a foreigner here. Ridiculous. -

I was bored out of my mind in Pattaya
thesetat replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You miss the point of retirement. It means not working. Relaxing all day without worry. Going out occasionally to do something different. I agree with your assessment of sitting in a room all day bored. But who said they were bored? Also, did you see if they do this 365 days a year? I am retired in Thailand. I have my daily routines and mostly it is at home with my wife and kids. I travel with them several times a year, Travel alone several times a year. Do what i want, when i want and how i want. Sex who I want. My week goes by very quickly as well as the months. Very seldom do I feel bored but when I do, I go out and do something I have never done before. Even though i am retired, I still feel young and full of vitality. Not many retirees in US or other countries can say this or show it in their actions. I think you misjudged the people you watched rather than asking them if they are happy with their lives. I would bet most would say yes. As for their places to live, it was a choice they made. Perhaps a better choice than having your kids put you in a old people nursing home which could and most likely would happen in your country. So have a happy life in your country getting old. I think when that happens you will be worse off than the people you saw in Pattaya. Hopefully you will rot in your recliner there and the spider webs will accumulate on your crotch from lack of use. But, I know for sure you not find yourself in a better position than the people you have so cruelly judged in Pattaya. -
Trump found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records
thesetat replied to webfact's topic in World News
I seriously doubt you will see silence from them. Even though he got convicted he can still run and become the next president. This case is not a case that would put him in a prison. As for the actual words being convicted it may even boost his following. More than 80 million people in the USA have been convicted of a crime there. With about 4-6% wrongfully convicted. That is over 1/3 of the population. Then there are many, many people who think this was all a political scam to ensure a win for Biden. Then one has to consider how many people think Biden needs to be in a courtroom also for crimes. Point is, that Trump can still change the outcome of the case simply because the judge was biased with kids making money off of his cases. Having many gag orders to prevent him talking about things or people. and many other irregularities in the case itself like using only the testimony of a proven criminal and proven liar to other official inquiries. I can not say for sure how this will affect the elections. But it seems to me that the people will not be deterred by his loss of this case. It may backfire instead and we may still find Trump winning the presidential elections. -

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern

I believe it means they will increase the amounts of tax to be paid so they can prepare to pay an aging Thai society. -
Economic Concerns Erode Biden’s Support Among Key Voter Groups
thesetat replied to Social Media's topic in World News
So, the people are finally beginning to see the Putz they have in office now. I am favoring neither party but understand why Bidens ratings are declining in his Democratically controlled states. People are seeing him for what he really is and what he has failed to do during his presidency. Trumps rise is just another facet of this. When he was Prez te economy was good. Unemployment was low and the country was not dishing out billions or tax money to allow and keep and support so many illegals entering the country. I do not know if Trump will win. But really think sure Biden will lose in the elections. -
Man arrested for child abduction and assault after 13 years at large
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
confused, what effort? they got a tip and found the man had a warrant from 13 years ago and arrested him. I seriously doubt they spent 13 years tirelessly tracking this man down when he has been in one province for all that time. -
Thaksin postpones lese majeste hearing, citing Covid infection
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Covid only last 1-2 weeks.. They should reschedule it as fast as possible. Also, he is still on probation. Why hasn't a probation officer come to check on his health. Where is the doctors report from a hospital stating testing positive for Covid. Does this article mean that if i am scheduled to go to court. That my lawyer can make any unproven excuse to change the court date? -
Police raid snooker club near Buriram school, arrest 9 at drug party

Cannabis Advocates Rally in Bangkok Against Planned Recriminalisation
thesetat replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It makes me wonder why these people think the government really cares if they lose money. Especially since the way they passed these new laws makes so that no=one can claim their losses to the government and the government is not responsible to compensate for any losses. -

Is Thailand really the 'Land Of Smiles' in 2024?
thesetat replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Thailand was and will always be the LAND OF SMILES when a foreigner has money in their hand ready to give them like the bar girls. . For the majority, they do not care and will not smile at you simply because you are a foreigner. Even when giving them a smile first. -
Thai Man Appeals for Help Repatriating Overstaying Russian Family
thesetat replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
What is sad about it? He is a draft dodger. right or wrong the reasons for being drafted he must adhere to his countries whims or leave the country and become citizen in the other country. Running away did not solve his problem.. Now he is poor and asking for others to support them. Why come to Thailand where he can not work and needs visas quarterly to even remain in the country? He chose this situation so why help him? I feel really bad his family followed his poor advice to come to Thailand but I also think there is more to why he chose Thailand instead of another country that would accept him and allow him to easily obtain work. But that feeling would not make me sympathize with them enough to send money to help. They knew what would happen when they came here. Now it is time to pay the piper.
