Discharging debt in Thailand
BritManToo replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You just stop making payments. For 5 years you can't own a bank account, property or motor vehicles. Most Thais just transfer everything to a family member for that 5 years. Then after the 5 years is over the debt is gone and you can live a normal life again. My wife owed 500kbht, she just got a letter every year asking for the money until the time was up. A month after the expiry, she got a mortgage on a house for 1.5Mbht with no problems. -
I can answer this one from personal experience. I was living with a Thai lady whose brother was an immigration officer. A month later I married a different Thai lady and applied for a marriage extension. The home visit was done by my ex's brother, and 5 other guys in 2 trucks, and he said there was no way I'd get my visa extension. Marriage extension approved!

I'd go back to the UK and murder my former wife. No money required beyond the plane ticket!- 259 replies

Where can I go to find myself
BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
When your wife says she wants to 'find herself' it usually means she wants to bang other guys. Maybe the OP is looking for 'relationships'. -

Shouldn't you be retired by now? -
ALL the Tory leaders were remainers (including Cameron, Boris and Teresa)! In fact the only MP I know for sure who wanted to leave the EU was the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

If it's Boris Vs Sunak, I can confidently predict the Tory party membership will vote for Boris. You all know why!

I would have to disagree with Mr. Pie. Liz Truss did exactly what she promised to do before being elected. Her promises may have been dog poop, but that is what she was elected to do by the Conservative party members. Obviously what she should have done was nothing, and just made excuses for the first 6 months, "I need to set up a committee to explore this and that before taking any action", would have been her best option.

Maybe they could promise to rejoin the EU? And increase taxes on the rich .........

Nobody can predict what the UK pension rules will be in 7 years time. Could easily go the same was as OZ and NZ, not living there = no pension. They could also raise the state pension age to 80. Or the country could go bankrupt under Conservative rule. All I can tell you, it's best not to tell your government where you are or what you are doing. Shhhhhhhhh ..................

2001-2009 I worked as a teacher in UK 'estate' schools. Abingdon, Oxford, Bodmin, and assorted Cornish mining town schools. These schools were rife with gangs, violence, drugs, in fact they were so bad they often couldn't employ regular teachers, but needed to employ specialist people like me who were employed to work more as 'prison guards' than educators. If you return to the UK without enough money to live in a catchment area for a good school, your kids will end up in the sort of school I used to work where the education was realistically non-existent

Sadly you're wrong, When a job is advertised that doesn't pay enough to allow staff to rent local accommodation, you won't be able to find staff. Housing in the UK has become too expensive for normal people to work and live. Advertise for staff and offer them accommodation as part of their wage and you'll find plenty of people to work for you.

Liz Truss: What the world is saying about UK turmoil
BritManToo replied to Scott's topic in World News
I think you mean 'middle left' aka Globalists. I'm 'extreme left' (Marxist) and they all call me a fascist as well. Sadly, the general population don't know the true works of the great man Karl Marx. If they don't want to redistribute land owned by Royalty/RSPB/National Trust/Church/State/etc., to the people, I ain't gonna vote for them. -
