If the Thai people and the Thai government REALLY wanted - Thailand could become like any very advanced western country, or at least Singapore. With similar laws and law enforcement, same economy status, same safety standards and probably same or higher cost of living. But then what? will you all still like or even be able to live here? Most retired people and some married to Thai people that I know come here mostly due to the much cheaper cost of living as they won't be able to keep the same standards in their home countries.

Most people would consider cocks that never or only seldomly rise as problematic. Just sayin....

I don't get it. It is already established and well known fact that vaccination does NOT stop infections. So what does the rise in infections have to do with getting more jabs? It won't stop the infections anyway.

It's not mine!

Pm me for some good staff. Better than the op's...

As opposed to alcohol drinking that leads to very safe driving and no accidents at all?

The man - named as Thatchaphol, 40, fired at police hitting Sen Sgt Maj Suthee Phahukan in the right index finger - now that's a skilled marksman....

You're confusing airline check in with immigration. 1. In the UK at check in show Thai passport if you don't have a return ticket. They might want to see the UK passport as well. 2. At the UK immigration you show the UK passport (although someone mentioned above there is no passport control when leaving the UK). 3. At Thailand immigration show Thai passport. On the way back: 1. In Thailand check in show British passport. They might want to see the Thai passport as well. 2. At Thai immigration show Thai passport. 3. At UK immigration show UK passport.

Isn't it the same for any problem all over the world?

Airlines do require passport details, even more than used to be in the past. With some airlines\destinations the system won't issue the ticket without passport details. If the name on both passports is the same, give the airline details of the passport you'll use to enter your destination (so in op's case Thai passport for the flight here and UK passport on way back). If different names on the passports ie maiden\married names I'd use the UK passport for the flight booking and check in and the Thai passport only at Thai immigration. I have 2 passports with a small spelling difference of the family name (only 1 different letter). I once booked a flight using the spelling on the passport to be used at the destination. No problem at either end, but couldn't get the miles on the frequent traveler of that airline on which I'm registered with the other spelling. Ever since then I always use the spelling as on the airline's membership, yet at the web check in I provide the details of the passport to be used at the destination, so 1 passport for go and the other 1 for return. At the airport the airlines usually want to see both.

ATMs were here long before the end of the 90's.i can't remember when the cash deposit machines came about though. And I never heard of any rules by any bank that counter services are only for big accounts. Many times in the past (after 1996) when I saw that the queue for the ATM was longer than the one inside the back I just went into the bank to get my transaction done.

So what's the problem?

Up until about 2 years ago vaccines were given in order to do infection\transmission. When the COVID vaccines came out they were supposed to do the same (hence the calling to get vaccinated not only to protect yourself but those around you as well and the idea of hers immunity through vaccination). Only when it was evident that there are so many breakthrough infections (vaxed people who still get infected, which was always very rare with all those other vaccines around) the song was changed and now they all claim vaccines are not given to stop one from getting infected, but to reduce the severity of the sickness. There was another thread on AN the other day and someone posted a clip showing all those who pushed for the vaccines saying that it will stop infections - they should all day their hats...

Unless you keep all your money in a safe at home or under the mattress, money in the bank can be frozen ("switched off") just as easily as while it's in the bank it is just digits on a computer just the same. I agree with the privacy issue though. To the op - 1. It makes no difference if you're for it or against it. It's something that is happening all over the world. Many countries around the world already put limits on the amount of cash allowed to be paid for purchasing items, and every few years the amount allowed is reduced. 2. Most small shops and stalls accept transfers but no credit\debit cards due to costs of transactions. But for those who are accepting cards there is a possibility to do it on their mobile phone.

So one must have a master degree in order to buy? Back to school, I guess...

You mean the women, right?

Have you ever been to a local market in Thailand? Or any street in every city and town? None of the vendors is registered in the vat \tax system. So it's going to be practically impossible to collect from small businesses. Some years ago while I was running a business in BKK the vat officials came to check my books. Opposite my business was a row of stalls selling just about everything. I asked the vat people why check my business and not all of those out there? They answered that since mine was an official and registered business it is easy for them to check and collect, unlike all the small vendors... As for tax collected on weed paying for alcohol abuse - why? They collect do much tax on alcohol and cigarettes for "taking care" of users, so why should a cannabis use which creates none of those problems should pay to take care of them?

I'd ask the airlines directly about possibility\limitation of carrying ebike. That way you get an actual answer and not guesses from posters.

There was actually a law about 25-30 years ago that a Thai new born must have a Thai name only (the official name. Nickname could be anything). Back then some district offices were very strict about it whereas other districts didn't care and would register anything you wanted. I'm not sure if the law was removed or just mostly ignored these days. As for Jason young - he was born in 1980, about 10 years before that law was introduced...

I think @Will B Goodmeant in the legal way you are either a Thai citizen or you're not. Once a person is legally Thai national there is no difference between different ethnicities.

Never heard of any case that the land office refused a transfer of a title deed if the property is clear. The only cases that stop a transfer are court disputes, mortgages and a "red" chanot.

Our he could sell to another person the land including the houses. Much better profit...

I must admit I stopped reading after the tiger story as I came to the sad conclusion you simply have marital problems. Just find a new wife, one that thinks like you. Problem solved.

The balance is in her own back account. He has no access to that account.

Not true. Once I had my Thai ATM\debit card used online in South America, a place I've never been to. Called the bank. Got the money back after a couple of weeks. Another time I tried to withdraw cash in Indonesia. No cash came out but my account was charged. Called the bank a few days later, after coming. Got the money back a couple of weeks later.
