My few Jewish friends are absolutely blotting their social with their propaganda. When I question them, and point out discrepancies they fly into fits of emotional rage.

 

I have to remind them that I lived in Israel for two years - more than any of them. 

 

But, no, I am the Gentile who knows nothing, and is not allowed to have an opinion that differs in the slightest from theirs.

 

I've muted them all for a month, until they calm down. 

So you might like this Palestinian testimony. He's actually the son of 1 of the Hamas-Isis founders, and was a member of the Hamas-Isis:

Are they reserving their flight slots for their own airlines to take out all the wealthy and powerful who flee maybe ?

 

Preventing people from leaving the country is also a form of taking them hostage.

 

A bit like they have being doing with the Palestinians for ages in the worlds largest open air prison, Gaza.

 

And now the rest of the world who will suffer all the collateral due to 2 mad sides fighting with of course the usual countries meddling from the wings.  

 

No side is any better then the other. Both have mad and corrupt politicians who are plainly aiming for war and chaos. One just feels sorry for the civilians who ask for nothing and just want to be in peace, should they be in Israel or Gaza.

 

Why does the media never report on the many street protests and public uproar agains the current corrupt power in Israel ? Many such wars, change the image of  an incompetent and corrupt politician to  a hero and reminds a bit of another war in Ukraine,

Kinda BS. The TLV airport is operating as usual. Most non Israeli airlines have canceled their flight into TLV, some airlines such as Blue Bird, TUS Airways, Fly Dubai, Etihad - still flying in and out of Israel. So no one is taken hostage by anyone on the Israeli side.

On the Gaza side - well, Gaza has borders with Israel and Egypt. The Israeli border crossing was open for civilians and goods crossing both ways until the 7th of October. Thousands of Palestinians were allowed to work in Israel throughout the years, as well as thousands of Palestinian civilians who were allowed to cross over to Israel for medical treatment in Israeli hospitals!  The Egyptian border crossing however, was always CLOSED for Palestinians to cross over to Egypt. Electricity, water, fuel - were all supplied by Israel. 

It is known by now that at least 500 Hamas-Isis troops were trained IN IRAN prior to the October 7th attack. So how exactly is it an open air prison? 

"no side is better than the other" << Really?????? Have the Israelis ever gone into Gaza to murder, rape, decapitate, kidnap civilians? Have the Israelis ever cut a baby out of a pregnant woman's body, beheaded the baby in front of the mother and then beheaded the mother? Have the Israelis ever took 85 years old civilians hostage?

The main claim of Hamas-Isis is the fight for freedom and end of the Israeli occupation. Well, the last soldier has left the grounds of the Gaza Strip in 2005!!! 8600 Israeli civilians were moved out of their homes and livelihoods in order to give the Gaza Palestinians self rule. And what did they do? 1. They burnt and ruined they houses and greenhouses that were left by the Israelis intact and ready for the Palestinians to use for their own benefit. They burnt all fields. They painted everything green (the colors of Hamas-Isis) and then they voted for the Hamas-Isis to rule them instead of the Palestinian Authority.  

Try to observe the facts before you write about fictional "facts"

As a retired flight deck member, I’ve often wondered why the airline doesn’t restrict the size of a pax or crew member to a size that can  readily negotiate an evac through the smallest emergency exit

So what you're saying is that passengers should be designed to fit the airplane? I think it should be the other way around...

Perhaps they don't care about their El Al planes being hit by rockets from wherever.

Or their pilots are braver than other airlines' pilots.

Israeli airspace is open and done flights still operate - just check flight radar 24. Many airlines just stopped their flights to Israel, same as happened in 1991 during desert storm

Either Israel completely destroys Palestine or the other way around.

 

The thing that gets me is that as a US citizen apparently Israel is my "greatest ally" and we owe them unlimited military support in the form of US tax dollars (yay!). I can't even think of a single thing Israel ever did to directly help America. IMO the US government is completely captured by Zionists (Jews and Christians alike) and they will continue to fund Israel (with my tax dollars) until the ultimate destruction of Palestine.

What do you mean Israel doesn't help the US? They are the guards of the edge of earth. Without them keeping guard you would probably go look beyond and fall into the abyss. You should say thank you!!

Gotta say, with Thailand's defamation laws, I'd seriously reconsider the title.  He's been accused of murder, maybe even arrested for murder. 

 

But did he really?  And how much liability is there if his story pans out?  (I doubt the ol' "we just reprint from our sources" would be much of a shield.)

 

I wouldn't worry about it unless you have shares and liability in AN

It's illegal though to make a false statement to government isn't it?

I'm not registered as married, and usually the officials that ask me about my marital situation are soooo cute I find it difficult to disappoint them ????

I've been searching around for answers and have been getting conflicting information.

 

Can anyone answer the question based on their experience?

 

If the wife's consent really is required, where is the form obtained? Is there any link to download it?

 

Yes it is. When you transfer ownership at the land office they'll ask if you are married, if you say yes they'll need her consent. It's not only for foreigners, also for Thai citizens.

However, they don't check any records so you can simply say you're single and that's that.

While China and Taiwan can't seem to get along, Chines and Taiwanese people can. There might still be hope....

Kasikorn will tell you a second account with them is not possible, if you have a WP or are retired, you can open as many as you like - non-O, not possible.

 

I got one after many attempts, I got one helpline manager to see sense. I had 2M in one account, the same account I was using for Lazada and using the atm with a queue of people behind me, I just wasn't happy. She spoke to the branch on my behalf and they organized a second account for me.

 

They even said the same to my wife, who is Thai, she has a small business. I wanted her to keep our monthly expenditures in a different account to her business income. They insisted it was not possible - I tried to ask what provisions they had for small businesses or whatever, let my wife speak to them and we can try and discuss what they could do for her and ways to comply to get a second account. In the end they relented and gave her two accounts.

 

Maybe easier to find a different bank in that province that will allow you to open an account.

I'm not sure if you're saying the bank refused to open for your wife a 2nd business account or a personal account. I have a chequing and savings accounts for my business (limited company), the same for personal use (although I haven't written a personal cheque in years so I don't even know if it still exists), I have another personal account in another branch same province, and 2 more accounts in same branch on a different province. All at kbank. All accounts are linked to the bank's app.

that would be good for the reader but does the average Thai person even know what east/west means after 12 years of English lessons? I actually seriously doubt this. So you can read the sign then but not speak the name to others.

The sign is in Thai AND English. So the Thai people are good with it. The meaning of the name of the temples is actually East\West, so instead of trying to write it in a way that might sound to a foreigner's ear as the correct name (but if that person tries to ask for direction using that pronansiation he'll get nowhere) wouldn't it be better to translate instead of transiliate?

Ak or Ahk would probably be better than Ork.

Lol. Correct pronunciation for English of Aw Ang is... aw.

 

So in this case Awg, not Ok, and definitely not Ak or ahk!

 

Or/Ork is problematic for those languages that can actually pronounce the letter R, which for most parts of the country is not Thailand.

Can simply write East\West

Nah, probably reporting gone wrong

You want to know who might benefit from the new tax? Just remember who's government it is now. Who's actually in charge of things behind the scenes (for now, might be at the front sooner then we all expected....)

No, but you might have an issue when trying to sell it.

Go on admit it !

Who now has  NO residence ,no house back in farangland where they came from 

 

Some of you sold up to come to Thailand, Philippines or wherever your based in Asia didn't you !

 

So whether you retired from Australia,UK ,USA or bloody Belgium you have nothing to go back to if <deleted>e hits the fan !

 

You sold it ,so if you get very sick ,if something happens like visa issues or legal matters or whatever you have nothing to go back to , your in the <deleted>e !

 

So unless your say over 75 you took a  big risk in selling your house in farangland

 

How many of you regret it ,admit it ,yes some if you wished you kept your house 

And your point is?

Come on, we all know who is the actual PM here

I come from the UK where there are lots of training programs for the basic trades with oversight and certification. In fact I don't think you can work on someone's property without the necessary certification.

And how's the price comparing for same job done here and in the UK?

Here's 1 month of reporting to pea. Obviously it doesn't include the short few seconds off\on.

About a couple of months ago we had few evenings that it went off\on 5-10 times in a very short period...

One day, hopefully in the near future, I'll install a full house ups system.
