There's 2 types of guest, one that is enjoying your free hospitality and another who is a paying guest and on whose patronage you rely for your living. The latter certainly has a right to complain and if that complaint is met with arrest and criminal prosecution then the host is doing his very best to ensure he no longer receives patronage from many paying guests to the detriment of his living. Unfair or dishonest reviews should be dealt with outside of criminal prosecution which inevitably leads to very poor publicity causing far more damage than the criticism. But then you'd have to have a brain to realise that...

Like you DIDN'T on an education..?

Are you unaware of the problems a decent education would cause for those responsible for arranging it....?

PAYING guests,and if enough of them decide not to be guests and pay what then for Thai tourism?

Well yes, I did track days on many of the UK circuits . Silverstone was my nearest. Not a cheap hobby and at 11.7mpg in my M3 £100+ in fuel alone was just part of the cost! Didn't see any Muscle cars amongst some of the more expensive participants. McLaren, Ferrari along with pure track cars and hot hatches made for an interesting mix! Live aboard dive boats and Skiing in top resorts also expensive...but worth it to me. Understand exactly what you're saying. 👍

What's the ATM limit per withdrawal. Generally relatively low making the 220 baht ( plus whatever your cardholder charges) a much higher %age charge than Wise.

The best description I heard of American V8 muscle cars is ” How to turn money into noise” 😆

We already know it's Blackpool!

I bet you stole that beer ?!

It is really. This is just a diversionary tactic!

But he's not in those countries is he? Which is rather the point. Countries have different laws on many things ,so simply observe them when there

DCC is an option the retailer offers you to be charged in your home currency at a worse rate than the card issuer charges. Simply ALWAYS say no! Charge me in baht.

That's my favourite chat up line. Followed by " Does this cloth smell of chloroform to you?”....

The video is so grovellingly over the top it’s almost ironic. Quite clever if that was his intention (but I don’t know) and that subtlety would certainly elude the authorities . As another has mentioned the oxygen of publicity has done more damage than his original postings ever did ,again a concept foreign to those same authorities.

Eeh,lad that were only a reet tiny slap. Foreplay we call that in Yorkshire. LUXURY!

Half now , another half later.

It is not hypothecated,pensions are paid from total taxes, but you do have to contribute NI to qualify. However if unemployed or receiving benefits those contributions are made for you !

Then your belief is wrong. I know!

Another post based on ignorance. Your occupational pension fund should you die before claiming it will be paid in full to your nominated beneficiary (usually wife) and tax free. Even if you die while receiving it often 50% of your normal payments will go to your spouse until her demise under most schemes. The state pension which is entirely separate if you die before retirement age will simply not be paid under current rules. There may separately be widows benefits but your pension is exclusive to you. The real issue is that many more people are living considerably longer than when the actuarial tables were drawn up ,hence the increase in retirement ages. But generally not enough was paid in NI to cover the real costs.

Not quite - you have to have 35 years of NI contributions to get the full state pension (pro rata if you have less but subject to 10 years minimum). There have been discussions about it becoming means tested in face of the increasing burden of the state pension however. I think it will eventually come to that - not something I agreed with.

What makes you think pensions are under the remit of the UN? Yes it’s in my view unfair,but an internal fiscal U.K. matter.

No,it doesn’t work like that. You’d get the unfrozen amount for the time you were there then it’s refrozen when you leave at the rate it was originally frozen at. There’s no reset.

Last time a woman hit me it cost me £90 ...in Soho.. Madam Thrasharse’s spanking emporium..if you want a recommendation..?

You'll look good together sharing a prayer mat!

Never mind all that…how are the buffaloes holding up …?
