  1. I have lived as a foreigner in many countries if that has any weight on the subject . The law is the same for a Thai citizen or a foreigner residing in Thailand . Make things worse ? Just there pride When living in a foreign country you need to know the law . Good luck to you Mr Apathetic
  2. Allow her to stay for testing out the BMW equipped over stayers technology
  3. Back to the original post , if you see a fragrant abuse of the law on the roads you are ready to say let the law handle the situation even if there is no police in the area . All are in immediate danger with a driver not following the rules of the road . I am not advocating violence . I am encouraging road users to let the offenders know they are doing wrong .
  4. Apathetic in my opinion . If you witness stupidity , cruelness then take action
  5. Ukrainian woman killed by a speeding truck that should never go over the speed of 80 km per hour . When loaded the driver should reduce speed as the braking distance is increased . I see delivery trucks every day driving badly and on reading the death of this woman i become angry because of the ignorance shown by Thai drivers . People will say how do you know what the cause of the accident was . I say in reply I am 99 percent sure as i have seen so many Thai drivers in action.
  6. Business models ? What i have learnt is when conventional foreign bank transfers occur the money is being sent from where ever the bank is located . This is a more expensive process than using money that is already in the country of the receiver . That is the different business model you mention . The maximum 500 baht for a transfer in Thailand is neither here nor there , more a tax than anything else . Like the 200 baht ATM charge .
  7. I believe that there is no charge from banks in Thailand for incoming funds from companies such as wise because the baht you are buying is already here in Thailand . That is the reason for the lower charges and better rates . Waiting for the negative comments . But that is what i have read and believe to be correct .
  8. Not all like to live a nomadic life . What makes you think that people with little funds stay in one place ? Naive statement
  9. It is not the rich that Thailand should try to attract it is the young innovative minds where ever they may come from that can create wealth for all .
  10. Was you meaning myself or your self with ignorant old fool
  11. Just take a look at the mother-in-law
  12. Perhaps your wife is contemplating the same measure as your sitting on the porch watching the sun go down .
  13. You could try hiring a boat to take you to the coastline of Australia and declare your self a refugee . But the way the Australian government treats refugees that could be rather chancy .
  14. I believe there are Thai individuals and companies with US dollar loans that influence the Thai baht value . If the Thai baht was allowed to fall the loan payments would increase to a level that would hurt .
  15. Why should the driver loose his job and the bank worker continue earning a living ? You miss the point altogether . Have a good day sir
  16. From your description i will never go to super shop . I do hope you are correct in your review .
  17. Luckily the only loser is Chicken George . Hopefully he will learn from the accident and drive more diligently. Banning people from driving is savage when it is there income . If a bank employee for example causes a accident on the roads is it in order to ban him from working for 12 months ? Life is not that easy
  18. Check chicken George's telephone account as that may explain why he never saw the truck . Driving ban for one year would be tough considering he is making his living from driving .
  19. Recommending bitcoin instead of a house is somewhat reckless in comparison . Gold would be far safer .
  20. Often money can be lost when investing . The investment community discribe where the money is lost as a black hole . My time is not worth much now i am retired . Yet most working people have to make time to maintain there home .
  21. Maintanence is minimal if you do the work your self . Invest in a black hole what happens then ?
  22. A natural development geographically . Inevitable considering the growth of the country financially over the past 40 years .
  23. All must follow the law and that includes foreigners . Respect the law is not the way to explain what you mean . How can you respect something you don't agree with .
