  1. Incorrect shelf pricing is often a problem.
  2. That may be true, however in the UK the socialists (Marxists-woke) got voted in with a huge majority by a record low number of votes. We can only hope their term is cut short before the country sinks beneath the waves.
  3. Almost every time I get or I am asked if I want the receipt, but I have been over charged quite a lot, usually by accident, and have always got the money refunded without a fuss. Stay calm and point out the problem and if necessary they will check the CCTV. Some of the Seven/11 (and at other "convenient" stores) staff are just out of school.
  4. Yeah, there's always someone with a crack pot idea. The last one, The Kra "Land Bridge" was a real humdinger of a waste of money.
  5. This has been proposed several times over the last 30+ years. One time the idea was dropped because the Revenue Department were going to charge import tax on all the cars. And we are worried about income tax...
  6. More hot air! I have said this all through the last 18 months or so since it was announced as "proposed new tax regulations". Unless I missed something and despite the dates being quoted for this to commence being banded about, the change to the tax laws need to be announced in the Royal Gazette. I have never seen anyone say more than "if, might, when" on this subject and to "collect your data just in case". To quote: "Carden admitted such matters remain unclear. He acknowledged the Revenue Department’s intent to widen the tax base, with small earners inadvertently caught in policies aimed at wealthy Thais" is significant as it shows this was not intended to include foreign nationals who reside in Thailand long term. If your country has a mutual Tax Agreement, unless you are moving LARGE amounts through your Thai bank account it is unlikely to effect you.
  7. If you lost your wallet you would know in a few minutes. If your bank account is frozen because the government don't like a Tweet you made 5 years ago is a different scale.
  8. A worrying thing about this is my UK accountant asked me for bank details including statements to provide ID verification to change brokers recently. The 'do not do' and the 'must do' are becoming indefinable. The push to have digital money gets scarier by the day as it seems to be very easy to lose it unless you are VERY careful. Beware!
  9. What is a "10" in one man's eyes could be a "6" in another's. Looks can be important, but personality is essential if you are looking beyond a holiday fling.
  10. How many innocent lives will it cost this time?
  11. That must be the most biased "article" I have read in a week. Jimmy Carter was a failure as POTUS and he should have stuck to peanut farming. With the exception of Biden and Clinton he must be the second worst President in the last 50 years. Ask the hostages.
  12. This is no surprise coming from a push biker. Sorry mate, you can eat nuts and drink bottled water but don't give us the holier than thou attitude. Jesus liked a glass of "whine" himself.
  13. I would like to point out this headline is wrong. With the exception of some muslim and Scandinavian countries Thailand actually has fairly strict laws on the sale of alcohol and as the article suggests a loosening of the laws is required not more restrictions.
