  1. The reasons for the lower alcohol level probably raises the cost of the beer brewing as they have to be sure what the level is . Before the Thai beverage company never had to be too precise .
  2. most smokers drink , therefore it is a combination of the two .
  3. While we have been scratching around millions of people have lost there life due to covid . Now the media tells us there is a virus out there that is on the increase . That is sensible to inform us . Go and scratch your self to realize that is called good reporting .
  4. My understanding is that the older generation are not at high risk of the monkey virus . It is the younger generation that are most at risk due to the smallpox virus has been considered eradicated and there for no need for smallpox vaccinations .
  5. Face masks are required in many countries . What planet are you referring too?
  6. The US dollar is the king of currencies. Aussie dollar is way down the honours list
  7. Not a professional serial killer when he allows the suitcase holding the corpse float down the river.
  8. I agree with your point that it is annoying to wait for people using there phones to make a payment . But I do not agree with your reaction .
  9. I do not any more as I have a Thai bank account. But the fact remains that Thai banks are charging where other countries banks do not
  10. Machines are cheaper than humans in a bank . If you can not see that I give up. I have exchanged money from a ATM machine in many countries and never met the charge Thailand banks charge
  11. What your point ? You are talking of interest rates of 40 years back. Now the rates are on the increase . ATM charges for foreigners to obtain there own money from abroad is a fraud . Time for a change
  12. I am sure my partner will not be the most wealthy after I am gone but will not be the poorest either. Will also no how to work and preserve her assets . Over and out
  13. Nothing to do with being thrifty . More to do with priorities. I spend money on the business to enable the Thai partner to have good income and independence . Of course you live your life how you will as I will too.
  14. ATM machines save banks money . Less staff required less banks needed . The same applies to internet banking
  15. The car parts king would i believe help the young people in Thailand . That is where the party is getting there support . Would the party help the poor ? I do think they would reduce the spending on defense and distribute more to the people in need . That would most probably create a further coup .
  16. I can live on 13000 baht for living expenses . Because you receive say 50 thousand baht does not mean you must spend it all to avoid being called a skinflint . My statement on Thailand becoming more expensive to live was based on if the Thai Government increased taxes to pay pensionists a livable income . Not how much a condo with a swimming pool will cost .
  17. The western political parties have become closer with there policies over the years . Here in Thailand there would be a redistribution of wealth if the people's vote was allowed to stand . Sadly I suspect that will not be allowed to happen.
  18. I think there is going to be a large swing to the reform parties at the next election . Look at the the way people of Bangkok voted for the mayor position . Question is will the peoples vote be eliminated as in the last election . The future party with 20 percent of the vote was eliminated quickly .
  19. No need for the forum either as the country would become too expensive for most foreigners to live here .
  20. Socialism has become a dirty word in many countries over the past 30 years . Often the media paint a picture that is not real . Rupert Murdock and his empire comes to mind . Therefore the present Australian labour party has not much chance of making real change . One has to look back at what happened to the Whitlam government to understand Australia .
  21. A lot will depend on the next general election concerning the next eight years . If the result of the election takes many months as before I would say there will be little change .
  22. Australia is far more anti socialist than the united States . Now there is a Labor government that may even things up . I do not give much hope for that personally .
