No asset loss outside the western world!

Arai wa! From the driver.

Cultural or medical not nomad. I'd suggest getting your teeth straightened, fitting braces and adjusting every month takes 2+ years, and not expensive.

DTV is the way to go, 500kbht required in any bank in the world on the day of application, then you're good for 5 years.

Obviously I was talking about men in general, as in 'we' men. Not female posters pretending to be men on an anonymous forum.

Easy answer, The Thai home room teachers visit your home once a year, while there they assess your income and make notes. If they've written in the notes, nice house, new (ish) car, big TV ......... no student loan. It's that simple! I also knew a NGO guy that handed out scholarships, He'd walk around their homes looking for where they had hidden their car, sheds, tire tracks, all examined. If they appeared to own a car, no scholarship.

Simple question, easy for you to answer, If we (men) aren't supposed to be looking at her in a sexual way ........ why is she dressed like that?

That's what I thought, was he armed? or likely to take hostages? No, this is the way life is becoming in the UK, jackboots and busted doors for white folk suspected of trivial offences. Living in the UK has become quite frightening, but as Starmer says, if you don't like it, you can leave!

I'm not at all shocked. What does shock me is all the billionaires marrying second hand wives. Jeff Bezos with all his money finds himself a 50yo woman .......... why? On the other hand, Leonardo DiCaprio gets it right by trading in his used 25yos for new 18yos every few years.

No need to hide anything, they don't ask, and you don't volunteer information. But if you do offer unrequested information, 1 accept your state pension reduction, 2 accept your randommly stopped pension (due to not recieving proof of life forms), 3 accept your loss of using the NHS, 4 accept your risk of having your UK bank account cancelled with no notice You will have no-one to blame but yourself!

Everything I get is taxed at source by HMRC, they can look as hard as they like at me, and if they find anything extra, send me my 80% and keep their 20% with my thanks. If the DWP could reduce my pension and recover any overpayment, then HMRC would need to return the 20% tax they took out of my gross taxable income.

The greatest threat to all newspapers is the internet and social media. Nobody buys newspapers any more, and at sometime the media moguls will stop throwing their money away.

Same but on Facebook, and they usually deliver 1/2 my order the same day. Why no stock? They have plenty of freezers (mostly empty) The frozen goods have sell by dates +6 months Inexplicable!

This has never happened before in any shop I've used in Thailand! I usually order 2kbht worth of goods a month, usually they can only fulfil 1kbht of goods.

Greens in Chiang Mai aren't bad, free delivery, they never have enough stock though. https://www.greens.co.th/

While Ed Miliband (sec of state for energy and climate change) is going full steam to hit net zero targets. Which one to believe?

I'm guessing him driving with one hand and making a video with his phone was the reason.

Millie Black was very enjoyable, burnt in subs for some reason. Can't get enough of fantasy 5* holiday destinations portrayed in reality as crime ridden poop holes. Just downed The Madness, complete season and A man on the inside complete season. Both look pretty good.

You've moved on, but still post your rubbish! At least this post was short enough for me to read, well done.

Agree with Mr D, Walk past them, looking away, same as with all the other beggars and flower sellers. If I'm paying for a holiday, I don't want to be forced to waste my time watching the natives. I'd probably let them hang flowers around my neck, but only if it didn't cause me a delay.

Thai government minimum m/c insurance will cover the first 30kbht of medical expenses for any vehicle accident, no questions asked, drunk, drugged, no helmet, no license. All you need to do is fill out a police report, and sign a few forms at the hospital cashier and they claim direct.

Driving a scooter (one handed?) while making a video probably isn't the safest of activities. If he has holiday insurance, I'm betting they won't be paying. But his Thai government minimum insurance will cover most of his hospital bill (30k out of 35k). And the remaining amount 36k (800 pounds) hardly seems the end of the world. As for the facial injuries, his own fault for not wearing a full face helmet.

Yeah, our civilisation fell when women stopped being property!

I place being happy far above making money. And unless you're seriously rich, putting your kid in a school above your station may well result in depression, bullying, drug addiction and suicide. Kids are really cruel to those that don't have as much as them, and they'll spot a poor kid in a school for the wealthy in a second.

My kid is in a special CEP class (Chinese and English program) in a Chiang Mai government school, 12kbht/year.
