McDonald's don't sell food, they sell franchises, and rent property.

A high living wage is only required because of the artificially high price of housing and property taxes. Which would be really easy to fix if it wasn't government policy of all western governments.

Almost no foreigners in MaeJo where I live. Only seen one other white face out here in the past week.

You missed 5. Those too old/incontinent/unable to stand/dizzy all day hanging around immigration offices. I used to fly to Saigon for my ME non O, just to avoid having to queue at CM immigration at 5am to get a ticket number for my extension. It improved during COVID, now its gradually returning to the bad old days. Last year when I turned up at 9:30am, too late for a ticket. And I can't arrive earlier as I need to get a bank letter and statement first.

Slightly off topic, Do I see three chins in the op, or is it just shadows?

Not true, you've just encountered lazy counter staff that can't be bothered to do their job.

Go out at dawn, return by 9am. No sun problems then. No need for any protection, arm, legs, face safe.

You'd then need to identify their home county. If anything like the illegals entering the UK, they'll have burned all their identity documents.

Maybe a land whale, and they're questioning his choice, rather than his actions!

Tell that to the native Americans!

Ok, so you choose Roman times as the date. Which would mean returning most of northern Europe to the descendents of the Germanic tribes. I'd be happy to support that idea, as I am one of those people.

Severance from Westminster does not equate to returning land to its original owners.

That seems a little unfair!

Good idea, but how far back to go, India back to the Raj USA back to the native Americans Australia back to the aborigines NZ back to the Maori Israel back to the Palestinians And many more that don't immediately come to mind. Give us a date and then justify your choice!

Beard trimmer and stubble for me. Just too lazy to close shave.

I prefer marry with your Thai wife owing the debt and the bank owning the 95% mortgage.

Undergrad at Bath University Postgrad at Bristol University All 100% funded by the British government, both fees and living expenses. Rich and educated and High class all have different definitions. I have known uneducated market traders that were rich Librarians that were well educated but poor And a Lord that was high class (and rich and educated).

And don't forget gifts, I have 5 kids around the world supporting me with gifts of money. Just like all the 70+ year old Thai folk.

Headmaster said he was rubbish at school. That's not educated IMHO, need at least a degree to be considered educated. Mother a dancer, that's not high class IMHO.

Wiki says ......... Richard Branson dropped out of school when he was 16. His mom was a ballet dancer (back in those days showbiz was low class)

You do understand a person can be both low class, uneducated and rich? David Beckham, Richard Branson, George Best, to name a few.

Same for me, but I learned very early on to consider it a 'tip' for the landlord. And never give more than 1 month on a 1 year contract. Guess this lady was a newcomer to Thailand.

No I'm saying living a life full of hate does nobody any good. Not the people that post their hate, not the people that read their hate. Stealing is wrong, vandalism is wrong.

Nope, you need to show a Thai bank statement showing deposits of 65kbht+ for the past year, Your bank account, nobody else!

Easy to see what happened, it's written on the wall. Lady rented for 1 year, deposit 32,000bht Year ends, Lady waits for return of deposit, "I'm not leaving until I get my money back" 2 weeks later no returned deposit, so trashes the apartment. There is no legal way to get your money back. Court action will take at least 2 years, and most tourists can't sit in Thailand doing nothing for that long.
