Typical, smug, self righteous crap we've been hearing from 

Western women here in Thailand for 30+ years.  If you don't like it,

go home.

If you want to watch the western women go ballistic then you just need to watch a passport bro's video....you'll fall over laughing

So....the women age badly....but the Aussie men look so fit and handsome? 

 

These days both men and women work...both will have paid for the house, cars, bringing up kids etc...then at say 20 years of marriage, you don't agree with splitting assets half and half if there is a relationship breakdown? 

 

How would u feel if the boot was on the other foot?  Your wife leaving you for a young gold digging Asian man from a poor country, while she spends all your money on him, and leaves you with nothing?  All because you don't look as sexy as you did 30 years ago? 

 

 

 

 

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Once the splits done who the hell cares what they do with there half.

why was it not seized along with all his other ill gotten gains

 

shocking

Was it purchased with those ill-gotten gains or from legitimate means, Inquiring minds want to know. Why do so many despise this family? Rhetorical question.

Open mouth, spout innane rhetoric, and when pigs fly reduced taxation will drive tourists to Thailand to buy alcohol....

Pigs must be flying somewhere.....no pun intended.

Trump will likely use the court to campaign, using the case to prove how the judicial system has been weaponised against him.

IMO he will gain many, many more votes over it.

Yet if it was you or I we would have gone trial already and been convicted. The Justice he is being served is not a weaponization of anything when a crime has been committed.  

In the process of adding my wife to my LTR WP which I received in October of 2023.  Since she is from Myanmar and we are back in the States now for a few months visit, I will be going the E-Visa route for her when it comes to that time. So far so good.

not  only  that but what I see  from my Wifes  familys  kids are they are  bone idle, dont want to do any hard  work would rather  have no work, although then again their parents seem ok with this whilst  still working in the fields themselves.

Just recently one of her 10 brothers and sisters  drove from Loei to Bangkok to  collect the little  princess who lost her  job and couldnt pay her rent, yet still managed to buy those 50 baht drinks everyday. Wife appalled by this.

They want it  all want it  now and expect it for free........seems  the attitude and not only  in Thailand.

The new generation as you have so eloquently stated want it all now and expect it to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Yet migrant workers like my wife who is a Hair colorist and stylist can not do that job in Thailand as it's only a job a Thai can do, and unfortunately she had to close her shop during Covid and when she went to reopen was told no she could not.

Thais who want everything also don't want kids, so there is one reason the population is declining.

As the song by Dire Straits says "Money for Nothing......."

Good luck Thailand.....your going to need more than that crystal ball your using to make your predictions.

Tragic story.  I know on the BTS and MRT they have folks who assist the visually impaired on boarding and de-boarding, most if those assisting are the security personnel they have. I wonder why there was not a security person on the train platform at the location he de-boarded from.

@ThailandRyan Yup, that's missing the third section which goes on about not leaving your home district etc.

 

This is mine: -

 

One has to wonder why they are different, unless the Amphur in Udon Thani's Nong Saeng district had that removed as it does not really apply in our cases. 

Different provinces and Amphurs with there own sets of rules and regulations as we continually see.

The entire back of my wifes is just her work permit, nothing saying she must get permission to leave the area as it lists her job as a housekeeper/nanny.  Must be because she is allowed to travel with her employer, which ironically is me.

Interesting, could you post a photo of the back of your card please?

 

The wording is part of the card blank so maybe the government have taken delivery of a fresh batch.

Crossy,

My Pink card has only a few lines on the back. Below that is a number starting with a B with 8 numbers behind it and then my 13 digit ID card number from the front which starts with a 6. It was issued in Udon Thani.  My new one issued ln 2022 to replace the original one issued in 2012 is the same.

My wife who is from Myanmar has a pink ID card which is totally different on the front and back as the back is her work permit.

I have redacted the bottom numbers for obvious reasons.

Note that item #3 of the standard terms on the back of pink cards state that the cardholder is not permitted to leave the area. What it says exactly is this:

 

๓. ห้ามผู้มีชื่อในบัตรออกนอกพื้นที่ออกบัตร เว้นแต่ผู้ซึ่งมีใบสำคัญประจำตัวคนต่างด้าวหรือ ผู้ที่ได้รับอนุญาตเป็นลายลักษณ์อักษร

 

The reason for this is because the majority of pink card holders are migrant workers from neighboring countries who aren't permitted to travel outside of the district that they reside in Thailand without having permission. 
 

The impact of this, for example, is if you intend to use the pink card for proof of residence address when applying for a driving license in Thailand is that they will only be able to issue you a driving license that only allows you to drive within the province where the driving license is issued. 
 

In general, the pink card has fairly limited use and value and in many cases isn't worth the effort if you don't have a yellow book already and/or if the district office will make it difficult for you to meet their guidelines to get one. 

Not completely true. Mine has no such notation on the back side.

Send them back to wherever!  Probably India... given the location of the incident... but could just be your run of the mill entitled Europeans.

Entitled? Care to elaborate......Did they say "Don't you know who I am"?

If you had billions, would you fly on a private jet without a medical team or trained physician with such a condition?

Of course. Indubitably.  How would you know how bad your condition was if you did not seek out treatment when you started to feel ill.

If it's true why didn't he have an operation while living overseas instead of coming back here , my grandson had a heart operation before he even had his first birthday and the problem was quite severe and is still taking medication 4 years later for the condition 

So your grandson has Heart disease?  Big difference.

Looks like this will tee-off some insurance companies investigator as suspicious.....

Waiting for TAT to extrapolate this out and say they expect 31 million + for the year if not more. A bonanza will occur with the ingress of all the wine drinkers after the prices are reduced....
