  1. The Thai employees I know in the provinces, including those working for the Government, think 25-30.000 is a great salary. They are already prevented from buying in that range. "favored", yet unaffordable.
  2. Just received this notice: Effective 1 November 2021, your selling fees will attract Thailand VAT. The VAT will apply to all fees paid by eBay sellers with a registered address in Thailand Will this be seven percent, same as on import ? ?
  3. oho, you are getting me worried: I seem to have missed that ......
  4. As I understand, local websites are mostly worried about a flux of money coming in, pushing pricing up and making housing unaffordable for many people, especially starters. Moreover, the good pieces of land would be snapped up, and the local population would have second choice. A "good" salary, say 25.000 per month, will not pay for a property over say 1.500.000 THB. Let's look in more detail into the proposal: In the U.S., one trillion is written as the number "1" followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000) according to the NASA website. divide by one million "wealthy" people: 1.000.000 THB divide by five years: = 200.000 THB To support a Marriage Extension 400.000 and to support a Retirement Extension 800.000 are required. So, does this mean that current retirees and spouses of Thai are more wealthy than the people that are being chased? Not even taking the 200.000 serious, but let's assume they mean 1.000.000 THB per year, that is some 2.500 USD worth per month, to be considered eligible for all sorts of Bells and Whistles. Add your current Car(s) and motor bike(s) amortisation, insurance, fuel, house amortisation, insurance, utilities, money spend on meals, gardening, car wash, school fees, all generating local jobs, food at home, and other expenses, how much does that amount to ?? Interesting question : would someone leaving now and coming back next year be eligible for the Benefits?
  5. the way I read it is that he is commenting on an observation by a researcher pointing out that increasing prices for tobacco would discourage its use, and hence make nicotine addiction less frequent. As for Alcohol, increasing prices will drive abusers to cheaper liquids, albeit that it may discourage youngsters starting abuse of alcohol.
  6. nicotine addiction and alcoholism are not that simple to cure as to say "don't"
  7. agree, I did not know driving on the line was what was needed ???????????? and don’t forget which foot to put on the street at the stop sign ????
  8. 15 years in business so probably profitable. A case that I am familiar with, in Europe, had vulture asset strippers flying in already same day.
  9. Good article, but refers to a proof of concept; not a Study. it should also be noted that: "" Readers should therefore be aware that articles on medRxiv have not been finalized by authors, might contain errors, and report information that has not yet been accepted or endorsed in any way by the scientific or medical community. We also urge journalists and other individuals who report on medical research to the general public to consider this when discussing work that appears on medRxiv preprints and emphasize it has yet to be evaluated by the medical community and the information presented may be erroneous. "" So, by the looks of it, IF the people at the press conference presented this as their invention / research / study, it looks like they are stepping out of line. What they did is confirm that this proof of concept has merit. IMHO, It will be rather unlikely that the Thai-FDA will take a decision to allow this treatment, based on the Phuket proof-of-concept alone.
  10. Great, so I qualify. But as usual, those that already put millions and millions in real estate or in local business, are neither considered for this scheme, nor offered tax or other incentives.
  11. many funny comments haha but not much to the point. Question is : How did four infected people get into the premises? Were all prescribed protocols followed ? Temperatures checked ?
  12. loan sharks take all they can get as collateral, (full rights and land docs for half of “official value” i.e. tax based valuation as loan) however not MiL’s.
  13. Banks typically do to discourage unauthorized transactions, but if they were to do this without registering any lien, it would be rather meaningless. Owner could, in theory, report title deed missing (forgot where I put) and in due course get a replacement with all current registered rights and encumbrances properly recorded.
  14. think that the Bank will demand that Sister co-signs or guarantees the loan.
  15. My reference to news forum was related to the posting by the news-team. My reasoning was logical, as, where else would the news-team post their News? However, as the News-team, accordingly to their activity log, is not meaningfully involved in news, in future I will do my utmost not to read their posts. Then, as we know now, and thank you for elaborating this so clearly, this is a Private Forum, and the members are considered as not in any position to pompously decide or have an opinion. This statement is implying that you seem to be of the opinion that users of this website are "members". I strongly disagree and am of the opinion that during the last 12 months or so the users have become "Customers" by the choosing of the operators of the contraption. Where else do I see so many advertisements on my screen as in Ano, and advertisements are per definition targeted at Consumers or Customers, not members big or small, and hence the website seems to have chosen to maximise earnings from per-view and click revenue, rather than making the effort to attract users by interesting discussions and disseminating local or home country, interesting to know and discuss, articles, sparingly laced with targeted advertisements.
  16. Missing the point are we: The News Team is posting silly photographs instead of publishing some news. Comparing five ladies may be news to some, but for others there are things happening that are worthy of being called news. but if you want, you can be right: The ANO NEWS Team posted something in the general forum. Says something about their critical thinking.
  17. If there is a Chevy workshop where you are, that would be my first place to go!
  18. the item was posted By ASEAN NOW News, Check out their news reporting sleuth activities here: https://aseannow.com/profile/350482-asean-now-news/
  19. Weller is a lucky guy should buy a lottery ticket. rescue team: well done. on photo no sniffer dogs, might be useful to train a few to speed things up even further.
  20. did a golfer write this ? many years ago I was taught that one should play the ball to a position from where to hit the next shot best.
  21. think you are right. moreover, I am wondering whether these women did give their consent to be used as advertising material. Personally I would want a piece of the cake. furthermore, how did ANO think up such bigoted question, and moreover posted it under “News”? As if a face, and its implied racial features, can tell anything about where a person is from. or is it a statement towards readers, that there is no other NEWS to report in the AseanNow perspective of the world?
  22. let’s not speculate on appropriateness of that here, judges decide and video footage speaks for itself. Investigators surely will get to the bottom of this. Hardly the job of ANO users.
