Trump is a complete moron and a low life. Maybe that’s why Thailand aren’t interested .

Ahhhhhh , here we go again…..God loves a trier. When will this nonsense ever end .

Hope they have factored in a rescue craft for when it sinks. Nothing surer that between the Chinese sub builders and the Thai Navy there’s going to be an incident.

Poland is a great place for holiday. Been a few times and back again in November. People are lovely ,food excellent and very safe and never come across any scams. Sadly it’s one of the places that have taken over from my trips to Thailand . Doubt I’ll ever be back to the Kingdom .

That’s just not right . There’s thousands of Space cadets in every village in Thailand .

It’s okay in here. Been a few times two to three years ago. Think last time was in CM it was closed. Foods okay , get what you pay for , staff friendly and thankfully no issue with smokers. TBH people who in this day and age smoke in a restaurant or cafe are just ignorant and selfish. There’s a few beauties in this forum sadly but heyho , takes all sorts . Used to be a great place just before Maddog which was great for food and music through the night and that was closed last time I was there too. Think the couple who had it fell out . That was really good value but sadly name escapes me for now. Aaahhhh remembered , Tiger Kingdom in the City was its name.

Here you go … On December 27, 2024, a new minimum daily wage rate in Thailand was published in the Government Gazette, taking effect on January 1, 2025. With these changes, the minimum daily wage in 2025 ranges from THB 337 to THB 400, up from the previous THB 330 to THB 370, depending on the province.

Not the only reason i’d say . USA. Beef is laced with all sorts hence why Europe and U.K. won’t take anything including chicken.

Of course it is ! More figures dreamt up by the eternal optimists . Never believe there figures . It’s always bigger better etc which I always doubt for so many reasons .

Does anybody on here really believe these constant figures churned out seemingly weekly from one spokesperson or another. And I’ve always really doubted the added Baht value added to said statements. Too many unknowns to make those sort of claims. Ohh well , if it makes them happy I guess

If it’s run any better than previous years I’ll be surprised. Be the usual high death count and tbh until they sort the policing and driving tests out it’s always going to be unsuccessful. What a waste of life this is always.

They’ll still be talking about it then too. Think submarines and other crazy schemes .Not sure they have the ability and skill set to do it successfully .

I’m British , and probably should keep out of this discussion but from where and all my mates are sitting this whole election and rhetoric from Trump is mind blowing. Firstly I don’t get the absurd amount of money that’s spent on the whole thing , money that lots could help in so many areas , it’s obscene tbh. Second is regardless of any qualities , and in my eyes it’s doubtful he has any Trump might have as a person, he’s a complete low life. As proven so many times. Thirdly he has zero idea about what truth is and isn’t and continually lies and seemingly doesn’t care in any shape or form. I’m not going into his sexual episodes and misogynistic attitudes to women . To think you could contemplate he being your leader just defies common decency. Is Harris much better . Yes I think so but still a poor choice to basically run the biggest and military and economy in the world. If Trump gets in. God help USA and the rest of the world relations.

I don’t doubt when you consider the amount of competitors and the multiple grading that from time to time some slip through. In fact 2 athletes have been pulled out after there races one of which won a bronze but had it taken off him. So what about the GB swimmer Alice Tai with club feet who had her leg amputated below the knee due to extreme pain in 2022 and she got back to completing this Paralympics . She’s won 2 golds , 1 silver and a bronze and possible more to come later. Inspirational as I’d say around 95% or more are . Having struggled with CFS/ME and resulting depression I can tell you that most athletes taking part have multiple issues beyond there most obvious ones. I’ve also luckily coached lots of disadvantaged athletes are you really can’t make light of there achievements . And there’s been full stadiums and venues for most events . Noise has been incredible and loads of brilliant races . Take the blinkers away !

You clearly have no idea how it all works . I’ll leave you to your narrow minded bigoted view .

Really , !!! You are so wrong. All my friends covering all ages are glued to it . Maybe U.K. people have more empathy for these athletes and rightly so. Inspiring and brilliant watching. The competitors stories are humbling . Thailand are actually 18th in the medal table now with 5 golds and 21 total medals. Well done Thailands Paralympic athletes .

This won’t start or end well…. Unbelievable mind sets some of these people in power have . Maybe they see transporting aliens back to Thailand might help the tourist numbers.

It’s not that easy sadly. Asylum seekers are primed to ‘lose’ there passports and paperwork so it’s not then easy to deport as it’s hard to prove where there from. And of course some have genuine issues as to why they’re seeking asylum. For sure the French aren’t going to take them as are not other European countries . First thing they need to do is streamline the appeal process and initial request for asylum . Most are migrants looking for a better life. UK is well known for compassion !

But will add , as should have said , this rise in Thailand won’t make living any easier for Thai families…..very sad.

28.5 a unit currently where I live . That’s nearly a third of a GBP . And standing charge is 24.6 a day. All GBP. And people say Falang are rolling in money. Yes we get paid if we are more productive and the likes but often it’s forgotten our costs are so much higher. Just saying……

I didn’t say we were part of U.K. , we never have been and also never said we were part of Great Britain. We are British though , as my passport would confirm . I’m well aware of my countries standing .

Yes we are . We have a governor installed being a crown dependency . My passport has British citizen on it , along with Isle of Man . If was not born there that wouldn’t be on it . I’ve been there all my life , 70 years , and we have always had that status . And you should know that being from Liverpool lol

Britain , but not part of UK . Never has been.

No . Single persons pension. Plus any supplement your entitled too. Mine is a further £2k ish on top of that . As in over the year .
