Is the UN an international body? Theoretically yes. However, it has been proven without doubt that many of the UNRA personnel ARE Hamas terrorists. As for UNIFIL in Lebanon - Hizballah terrorist built camps and dug tunnels next to their bases and posts. So are they credible for anything? More so - the UN secretary general has admitted that ALL numbers they have announced were supplied by Hamas "officials" and no UN nor any international body has checked the numbers, and he also admitted that the numbers submitted by Hamas were blown up well out of proportion and the numbers are less than half of what was advertised. Hamas also count ALL dead as civilians. They never gave any numbers for terrorists.

These numbers are given by a terrorist organisation named hamas and has not been vetted by any international body. Another point is that Israel has REACTED to an unprovoked attack against civilians - 1200 who were slaughtered by that very same terrorist group. Most of those who died in Gaza were terrorists, and the few civilians who got caught in the fire were actually used by hamas terrorists as human shields.

With the good (and expensive) ones you can set a perimeter on an app. When the dog goes near the "fence" there'll first be a bip sound, if the dog continues there'll be a vibration and then static shock.

Don't know how your quote got messed up. However, at that time I was told by the officers that I could take the lump-sum and still continue getting medical cover for about 400B / month. They even said I had 6 months to decide AFTER getting my lump-sum.

Don't know if there were changed to the system in the last 10 years or so, but around that time I was at the border line and at the right age. I was told by the social security offices that I can choose between a lump-sum and monthly payment, but if I make 1 more payment to them then I could only have the monthly payment.

You're mixing 2 issues here. When officially married couple have children, both parents have parental rights of the child, even if they later divorce. I guess that's what happened with your wife. If they were not officially married when the child was born only the mother has parental rights, even if the father is registered on the birth certificate. If both the child's parents are alive and hold parental rights - you won't be able to adopt the child without the father giving up his parental rights willingly or by court order. Only then you'll be able to start the adoption process. On a side note, if the father has neglected the child or is unavailable to carry his duties such as signing documents needed for the child, the mother can request the court to grant her sole custody of the child and then she won't need the father's signature or approval for anything. So I guess that's what your wife has to do first. However, I'm pretty sure that in order to adopt the child officially you'd still need the father's approval.

Yes they do (or can) - there are government programs for helping the poor. They get an allowance to shop for good and necessaties, tied to their id card, with which they can shop at participating shops. When they reach the age of 60 they get 600B \ month as old age benefits (every Thai citizen gets it regardless of their financial state). There were talks recently to increase it to 1000B \ month, but hasn't happened yet.

Yes I do, but dying by accident has nothing to do with retirement age

Yes, I suffered from similar situation. Replaced the missus. Problem solved!

600 BAHT is old age payment, not retirement payment which comes from social security. I know many Thai villagers that lived into their 80s

Problem is airtag only shows you where the dog is. The GPS wireless fence actually limits the dogs from going out of your yard.

Thank you :)

Not exactly. As those services are local, each organisation works with 1 specific private hospital in their area, so they won't go to a hospital they don't have a deal with. About 10 years ago they'd get 300 BAHT per injured person. BTW, they are all volunteers without salary or paid expenses. They have to buy the vehicle and equipt it themselves.

I had something sent to me by ups many years ago. Total value was about $75. Ups notified me that they wanted 1500 THB to do the customs clearance which p*ssed me off so I went to their offices and took the paperwork. Went the the holding warehouse at don mueang. Had to pay 30% customs which came to be about $130... As they add the shipping costs and insurance to the price and then vat. But once paid I took it with me.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I've been looking for GPS collar for my dogs for a while now. Would like to hear which one you bought and how it works for you.

As do gay men. So send them to the ladies as well?

nuff said. I think if they increase the proposed tourist fee from 300 THB to 3K THB we won't have to read such stories...

I wonder if they actually write a new article about the 300 THB every time or just re-post from the archives as this proposal has been floated so many times in the past 10+ years and every time it is then removed.. just to be introduced AGAIN...

Departure tax has nothing to do with this. There still IS a departure tax, 700 THB for the last 20+ years or so. The only difference to the 500 THB you mentioned is that since it was increases to 700 THB it's been added to the ticket price.

now pretty much everything has a computer in it

I'm in the North too, cm. Had a problem with Samsung washing machine. Called Samsung cm, explained the problem they said probably motherboard, but have to send a technician to check, and after he confirms the problem they'll make another appointment so he can come with the correct part with him. As I live far out of the city, they said I'd have to pay about 3k for each visit + parts. I asked them to send the technician WITH the motherboard and whatever other part they think might be the problem. They agreed and the guy came in to check. Apparently I had some mice building nests and chewing the wires. The technicians re-wired and cleaned everything, no parts needed and all I had to pay was the 3k for the travel. As he gave me the receipt he told me to keep it as their work is guaranteed for 3 months and if they have to come again within this time no need to pay for travel! So I vote for Samsung.

A couple of years ago there was an article about a schoolgirl that was hit by a bullet that was shot a fair distance from where she was. The short actually aimed at the sky, but as you wrote - what goes up must come down.

Those who were born males have the xy chromosomes, even after they cut off their d*cks and b@lls. Sex cannot be changed! Did you ever ask local women what they think about it? I have, and most women I asked do not feel comfortable with fake women in the ladies room

Got mine at Boonthavorn. They have many styles to choose from. You give them the measurements and shape you'd like and they design it for you. They can show you on 3D which ever style you choose. After you decide what you want they'll set an appointment for their guys to come and take precise measurements and if needed they'll make changes to the design. Installation crew were good and did a fine job. Probably not the cheapest though, but I'm happy with my kitchen.

What clothing? He was half naked ...
