I think you are right.

 

A lot of retirees are  married but on retirement rather than marriage extensions because it was easier to do (and Imm offices encouraged it).

 

I expect that most of those among them who were using the  income method rather  than the 800K method will switch to extension on basis of marriage.

I don't think so,I guess a lot of people will get a one year visa at laos or wherever it is possible to get one and then they will do visa runs every 90 days

When BKK hotels start charging Perth rates, maybe there will be free shuttle buses in the BKK CBD.   But that will present a whole 'nother set of problems.  Like no tourists.

 

Yeah they can do that if they start paying Perth salaries 

Hi where to watch CL,EPL  and Bundesliga 2018/19  preferable online and with English or German commentator?I checked DAZN  but they blocked vpn's.

Beinsport does not show CL and Bundesliga. I don't like to sign up with multiple providers.Last season I streamed from multiple websites,free but bad quality

When purchasing online from ebay etc. then it depends on the seller and also the physical size of the package as to how it will be shipped.

Whenever I order from ebay or Amazon, then I tend to use a seller that can ship via the Global Shipping Program, that way you will see the cost of the shipping and any import duties prior to ordering, once you place the order and pay, then there should be no further payments to make at all.

Is that 100% sure?

I cannot believe any bank in the West is giving mortgages at

1%,where is the profit in that,even if they gave 0 % interest,

still not even enough to cover the risks for the Banks.

 

Just checked UK rates,1.70 % as an offer to start then

rises to 3.70 % which is the real rate.

regards Worgeordie

In Germany they start with 0.69%

Then why don't the condemn the guy, I never see that happening. Just admit he is as corrupt as the junta and be done with it. Both sides are corrupt, at least I condemn the junta.. look at members like Eric Loh and Prompong.. never ever a bad word about Thaksin always defending the guy. I would say those are dyed in the wool ptp supporters.

 

I feel that anyone who is corrupt should be punished and removed from politics forever and the money made with their corrupt practices confiscated and preferably a jailtime. Regardless of what side they are one. I can't wait to see Suthep and Thaksin sharing a cel. I know both will never see the inside of a cel. But that is how it should be condemning the actions of corrupt people no matter what political side they are on.

The country would fall apart if corruption would stop from one day to another.Here is not USA or western Europe.Here they have a different thinking and understanding of the law."As long I'm happy you can steal as much you want,if you steal but I don't benefit from it you can f... off".Thats the thinking here

Ah stealing with style is allowed.. funny weak defense. The junta is wrong and should be condemned too and if proven to be corrupt punished too. But that does not make what Thaksin did good. That is just the weakest excuse ever. Everyone who is corrupt should be punished.. junta PTP democrats.. bureaucrats.. whatever. Once you start saying that popular people can steal you undermine the basis of law and democracy. 

Thailand and most southeast asian countries are highly corrupt since centuries.It's in their blood.Every government in Thailand was corrupt.Thaksin wasn't the inventor of corruption but he put it on a new level,a level what many thais accepted because Thaksin shared at least a bit [30baht,village loan,etc.]He got kicked out because he told the army to f... off,told the royalists to f... off and told the elite to f... off,and the population liked it,they even voted him for a 2nd term.So army,royalist and hiso elite had to worry they lose their grip on Thailand.And they still afraid of him,when Thaksin is coughing,the junta is shaking

ja,ja,ja here in Thailand everybody and everything has strong sales,cars ,condos,house etc,who actually believes that?

Nice one, only they forgot to include in this story how Thaksin forced the bank to accept an interest percentage below the cost price.  (mentioned in the BKK post) So the bank was losing money 670 million.  Clear case of corruption even more so because the loan was used to buy services of Thaksin his companies.  I wonder if anyone cares to defend this clear cut case of corruption and start calling it political.

 

The was a reason Thaksin ran, this was one of the reasons this is a far more serious case and one that is easy to prove. Now he can still claim he is only convicted for minor things, if this conviction came through before he could not huge loss of face.

 

I don't think he will be arrested but I am happy that they go on with his cases maybe some of the red supporters here will finally open their eyes and see that the guy did commit some serious corruption. 

How about you tell me how much money prayuth has in his bank or what he is doing while he is not destroying Thailand?You can't tell,because if you ask to much you end up in prison for les majeste or computer crime or whatever else they have, to silence people who know to much.Better 100 Thaksins than  1 prayuth.Thaksin stole with style and open, and population in Thailand benefited from Thaksins doing.Now only Hisos,royalists,junta friendly a..lickers benefit.On top with Thaksin we had free elections,now we have nothing.Februar elections?What a farce junta reserved half of the seats already and the other half goes to the a..lickers

Hi is there a bus station or mini bus station in Bowin/Amata City?If yes where is it?My daughter needs a daily right to Chonburi City

What's the point of an election if the junta have reserved seats already.If like that Thailand no need an election and the parties should boycott any election as long junta is still here.If the junta wins the fake elections in February or whenever then they can say"we are the free elected government of Thailand 

2030 60mio tourists,oho.I don't think so.By 2030 Thailand will be sooo dirty swimming in ocean will be impossible,and if prayuth can follow his long term plan then there won't be any bars or similar.So Pattaya or Patong tourists maybe will change to The Philippines or who knows where.

Hello?We talking about Thailand and economy in Thailand,yes more demand means price goes up,but it doesn't mean the salary goes up,Easy isn't it?By the way you can keep oversmart comment for yourself,thanks in advance

Duh. No demand. No salary.

Correct,that is one reason why the government tries to keep the salaries low,Now it's around 350 per day,if they raise it Toyota and others might leave,easy as that

You either believe in supply and demand or you do not.

If you believe in supply and demand you understand that a scarcity of labor drives the cost of labor up.

If you do not believe in supply and demand entering into a discussion such as this with you is pointless.

 

Do you actually know what you are talking about?Demand and supply nothing to do with the salary of Somchai,speally in countries like Thailand,Vietnam and Indonesia.Here is not USA or Europe with big unions behind the workers.Here Toyota says how much salary they want to pay,and if to much Toyota moves to Vietnam,so you can forget your micro and macro economics in takatukaland

Somchai's sister is probably on the game and funding his drugs habit as he only earns enough to fund his gambling.  Jeab is only 11, which is why she is working in a field,  and will be on the game when she is older and gets a one-way ticket to Pattaya to join her Mum.  Both totally reliant on tourists.

 

Where do you think the money actually comes from for most of the pick-up trucks, motorbikes, mobile phones and flash houses in the North-East?

okok I just saw you stay in Pattaya,gives me an understanding for you thinking,but believe me not every girl in Thailand is a hooker  or waits till she gets a car from a pattaya farang.

So does a growing auto industry benefit Thai workers?

More employment, and more tax revenue from any industry helps all workers.

 

Growing auto industry gives more jobs but not more money for Somchai working on the band,and prices still go up

1 minute ago, Cranky said:

Apart from the milllion or two that work in the tourism industry that is.

Thailand has 77 provinces,out of that maybe 25-30 are involved with tourism.If somchai works in a factory in Laem chabang[near Pattaya],do you think he gets 1 baht from the tourism?Or how about Jeab from ricefield 7 in nakhon nowhere?or .......

Where you hear those complaints?  Some of the 1000 bars or massage shops in Pattaya?  "Slow, no customer"...

I am hearing/seeing just the opposite at many businesses.  Growth is at a five year high, people are coming here in droves, and the economy is doing well.

Most Thais have no education on economics and would have no clue what the "economy" is.  But, people love to wallow in negativity and sadness for themselves in some odd way it makes them feel empowered.

 

If the hotels are full it doesn't mean the economy running well,also the average thai has nothing to do with hotels and tourists
