China is no longer considered a low cost manufacturing country. Yes, China are showing to be an excellent manufacturing country . However any manufacturer from Europe , Japan or USA will have there technology stolen as has been the case with French, German and Japanese fast train manufacturers over many years. That's just one example

I do not think financial services jobs could be considered skilled labour and that is one job that AI could take over in the near future. I can not imagine a company such as Rolls Royce engine makers would ever manage to find the skilled labour required in a low cost country and that would apply to many manufactures in Europe and the United States.

Many companies would find taking there business abroad would be impossible if they require skilled labour and artificial inteligence will not help them either. Unions can help the smooth operation of the business when you have management that understands how to work with them.

Only me? Where do you get your misinformation from? Short term rentals are not allowed in flats for less than 30 days unless there is a hotel license applied to the building . After that i find nothing that comes close to your statement that short term rentals are illegal in Thailand . Perhaps you could find some evidence of your claims such as a conviction for example.

It appears you are the one misinterpreted the short term rentals laws after much time looking into the subject. Look forward to a reply that I am sadly not going to receive. All the best Peter

Still looking into the subject. Will come back with a vengeance soon

It seems as though the homestay license is run by the tourist board. You need to of been operating for at least 6 months before applying. This is not looking mandatory.

Is the homestay license mandatory all over Thailand? Has there been any convictions for not having the license ? Nobody seems to of heard of it in our area . Thank you for making the homestay license known to use.

Xxx maybe a better choice of a name. Not complaining

I believe that Airbnb short term rentals are legal However in some condos they are not allowed. That has nothing to do with what the original post was about.

It appears that the hotel registration law has changed in 2023. Excemption from requiring a hotel license has increased to eight rooms and 30 guests

The man exudes integrity.

There was only one Englishman owning the premises with the alledged bad beer. The second individual was the owners wife who is Thai. Therefore your post should read , make the Englishman an offer and buy the joint.

Snekker in this case.

Sad individual

In full disagreement

800 baht a month many Thai pensioners live on.

I find them interesting how they park there cars and leave there engine running lights full on while they order food to takeaway in a restuarant just a few meters away from where many are seated eating there food. I also find them interesting when i want to pay my electric bill at Lotus where I have shopped for many years and told you can not as you have no Thai ID . Oh but i have paid my electric bill here for years , can not says the shopkeeper.

Quite right and ban all ockers from entering

If you can smell an odour from beer don't drink it. I bought a bottle of Chang one time and complained that the beer was off. Reply given from the server was no refund and also I don't drink beer myself to know if it was bad or not.

Egen eindel you paid in Norway, tax payers paid the rest

I have had three refunds from Lazada where the money is refunded to my account . I have always paid COD when using Lazada . However on the last refund I opted for the package to be picked up at home rather than take the package to Kerry . That ended with many phone calls , failed pickups and being asked my address on the phone . I will not be using that option in the future . I use Lazada often and saves a lot of time hunting for items that you will not find shopping locally.

Emigration from the British Isles has been going on for a very long time to the benifit of the country they choose. I am sure Thailand will benifit as well .
