I was commanded by my Scottish mother to eat all what is on the plate and could not leave the table until all was eaten .
I think morally my mother was correct and I still eat all that is on the plate .
I see young Thai people leaving food all the time . Rare to see an empty plate here .
I would however refrain from eating the left overs
Wasting food is a sacrilege without doubt .
Since when has private banks been told what interest rate they must charge in Thailand ?
The Bank of Thailand monetary committee sets the rates that the private banks have to work from .
Private banks have there hands tied for raising interest as there are so many non performing loans out there .
Plus the Government has asked the banks to not put up interest rates to help the economy recover .
The banks do get your hard earned savings for free and loan out for a 500 percent gross profit at a minimum .
Sadly I expect the same gauging from private hospitals since you ask .
You must be Australian for that eventuality .
Means testing pensions for what you have paid into in first world countries is not attempted apart from Australia .
I do believe the Netherlands has the most forward thinking laws concerning underage sex between two consenting individuals .
Many countries should learn from them in my opinion .
The check points are often placed on a bend and the turn around trick is easily spotted by the many police on duty .
They also place a policeman on any left turn before the bend where the check point is .
I do not believe the spin on what you learn from sitting in bars .
Perhaps you should try and you may learn something .
Complain about Thailand as you feel your a second class citizen ? Try a third class citizen that is expected to pay up and be quiet about it .
Quality of life is something that we all have expectations of . You speak of having such great fun visiting peoples homes with wealth and sailing on a boat for days . Many are not interested in that I can assure you .
Ignore would be if they could bees is my answer to this post.
,7 percent of his wealth is as you say not a big deal , yet I understand the offender has a brother who is a politician and can not afford any more damage to his brothers reputation than needed .
In the UK they use the term ground floor and that is what many get confused from countries that do not use that term . I was working on some apartments about 10 stories being built by a Norwegian builder in Spain and a lift was installed . The Norwegian put the ground floor as level one like he would of done in his home land and caused a lot of confusion for the Spanish workers who use the same system as in the UK .
