 Great to hear your Thai wife is 'growing'. But dont go +2 Kms over the speed limit, dont say anything racist, dont deny anyone is aboriginal even if they are clearly not, dont say anything bad about any minority group (hate speech laws), dont forget all the speeding cameras are everywhere, dont go into certain suburbs especially at night (if you wrong race/religion), dont complain about the local Mosque blasting all 'call to prayers' all hours of the day, dont have a pcoket knife in your pcoket, dont have a slingshot either, when you hire someone make sure you have their Super, Insurance, Compensation, etc etc etc covered and the 10 min licences to have a business, when you emply someone make sure you take total respoopnsibility for their health and welfare - they can do anything stupid but it is your fault, and you have to pay them a minimum of $740 a week ($40K PA), plus holiday loading and plus 25% if they are casual, and dont forget to pay all the taxes (one of the highest net tax in world - net means including rates etc), and make heaps of money yourself because everything is so damn expensive and going up heaps every year - Sudney is more expensive to live than London or New York https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/mar/15/sydney-more-expensive-to-live-in-than-london-and-new-york-study-finds

 

I could go on a lot more - but let me get to ignorant.  Where do I begin - Bogans?  No - too easy and obvious.  Let me quote an American presenter:  Australia is the Alabama backwaters of the World.  And this too:   https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/australia-is-rich-dumb-and-getting-dumber-20191007-p52y8i  

Mate - there are a lot of fine people in Australia - but they are as dumb (on average) as thick bricks.

Over-educated idiots abound in a country that still hasnt diversified itself from a colonial outpost.

 

 

Please stay in Thailand.

Morality: For many Thais Old farang, Mia farang and Leung kreung kids are low excrement to whom seat priority doesn't apply.

 

Pretty much how I view Thais in Australia especially rich ones who think they can pay their Thai staff a pittance in cash with no tax or super.

I have the ATO hot line on speed dial.

Pull out all stops to save them when twelve boys stuck in a cave with the whole world watching.  Don't give a sh*t about saving lives when no one is watching.  When will the international media discover this 'story'.

DWP have a very poor system for certificates of life which they send by post and refuse to send by email. My MP is currently trying to get them to change their ways. 

This year they claimed that they had not sent me a certificate, two days after it arrived by post. I asked them what they were playing about at and they replied that the person who sent it had not noted it on my record. They could just as easily note it on a record and not send it, then when they don't get it back your pension is suspended until they get one. Crazy.

Last year my pension was suspended over Christmas because I had not received a certificate.

DWP has a very poor system for everything. Three exchanges of letters took nearly a year and they refuse to communicate by email. In fact the UK seems to be 5 - 10 years behind Australia when it comes to IT systems. Wait with baited breath to see how the new 'global Britain' fares once free of the 'shackles'of the EU.

Much of what you still see in modern Thailand was shaped by dictator Plaek Phibunsongkhram's admiration of the Nazis in the 1930s.

Cultures that believe themselves to be superior to the rest of the world are easy prey for the psychotic strongmen amongst them.

i think have Thai restaurants every western country. Because thai food is delicious. 

England food restaurant is popular anywhere? Outside England?

Wow! You obviously never eat Thai food in Australia! Horrible rubbish according to my Thai friends. 'Thai Food' is a brand just like McDonald's.

Marketing sucks people in to eat substandard food in every country.

Just live the way posters here to on about avoiding PC in their home countries.

Well, how you came to that conclusion is beyond me..

 

I´ve seen my fair share of very, very good people from many countries here, but too many of them are simply not mature enough to be here, or they are just stupid, reckless, whoremongers, drunks or, or, or.. to be living in a 3rd W. country like Thailand, where money rules, connections rules, class rules, mafia rules and so on it goes... and when they get in trouble - mainly by their own stupidity - we get a new post here on this fine website.

 

I like to live in a country where political correctness is non-existent, and when I see something, or read something stupid, I call it that, STUPID!

 

Have a nice day.. 

 

 

 

 

There is a lot of political correctness in Thailand. This forum restricts acceptable  topics as do all internet forums in the Kingdom. The defamation laws also prevent many from speaking their minds. Far more freedom of speech here in Australia.

Correct?

"Dingle Bell" is just one of many Christmas Carols a lot of which are of a religious nature. Look up the lyrics to "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" on Google and report back.

No. Thai people ok with Christmas.

I love seeing Thai people happily listening to Christmas carols (songs) when they don't understand the words. Often the words are proclaiming Christ to be the only and true saviour. In other words Buddah is a false prophet.

If Thais understood I wonder if they would accept what is being sung?

Renting is money down the drain...

Not if you can invest the purchase price for a greater return than the rent. My Australian super fund returned 13% last year. In other words 21,000 baht a month on 2 million baht. Can easily rent a 2 million baht condo for less than 21,000/month. Note that a benchmark rate of 4-5% is more realistic though.

Buying a property you will never be able to sell in your lifetime is also money down the drain. If the money is invested you can access some of it if needed for say medical bills. If you tie your money up in property you can't sell part of it, only sell the whole thing.

On the other hand, owning a property provides certainty and security in the event of rents increasing faster than the cost of living. You don't have to put up with the landlord's rubbish furniture and colour scheme. You don't have to fight the landlord to get your deposit back if you move. And of course moving is always an option if the building deteriorates or you have neighbours from hell.

I’m thinking, if you are not intending on returning, then it’s better to sit it out. Is it not? I’m sure it’s not a good time to buy GBP.
 

People with money and a ruthless business approach tend to prosper during a recession. My wife and I Intend to build a house in the future, surely the land with a half a million baht price tag, will become available at 300,000 as purse strings tighten. As building slows down, contractors will be Incentivized to give lower quotes to get work.  
 

Any thoughts?

Not in Thailand. Prices will go up. Need more money from the land sale to pay debts. No work so need to charge more.

Thailand not same your country...

That's a good idea, but if I put all of money in there she will spend it. So most of my money will still be in my account when I die.

So she will spend it all after you die and it will have been of no benefit to her. So why worry?

Good make an example out of the freak. Just imagine how more like this guy are hiding here. Keep raiding the bars ! If you have nothing to worry about don,t bitch.

Does Thailand realise that first world countries like US, UK and Australia are encouraging all their fascist trash to retire in Thailand so that we can live in peace?

Meanwhile former boat captain who killed people released from jail and allowed to be a boat captain again to kill more people.

If Thailand was noted for law enforcement I might agree with you that not paying for a couple of Leo's and a plate of Pad Thai was a hanging offence.
