The phrase "Pissing in the wind" comes to mind!

Scum. They are a global plague that needs irradiating. Well done BiB. Castration before being imprisoned / deported wouldn't be a bad idea.

Please everyone one remain calm, line up at the assembly point........Fire wardens, do a headcount.... Fire wardens! Fire wardens ! Where the hell did they disappear to....!!!   ?‍??‍?

Sounds familiar......

The Enabling Act was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave the German Cabinet —in effect, Chancellor Adolf Hitler the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. It passed in both the Reichstag and Reichsrat on 23 March 1933.

Whoever brought the money with them should have reported it if over 20K USD. But you stated that some family members brought it in, so it should have been below the reporting limit. So hopefully you shouldn't have a problem if they do ask you where you got it from

They will  get it right in the next life !!  ?

We hire Myanmar and Thai workers, Myanmar workers get the same salary as Thai's, but work harder and come to work EVERY day. Nothing to do with wanting to pay peanuts, its all about wanting reliable workers.

Can we have a 50% increase in professionalism too please.

In the UK its legal. They advertise on TV with APR of over 1300 % sometimes

That is day light robbery ! But the government allows it to happen. So in comparison the loan sharking here is nothing.

Just another law that won't be enforced, unless there money in it for them. 

And I'm assuming those two screw drivers were used to open the safe ! 

I don't think so somehow. ?

Glad we don't have more important matters to deal with ! 

If your in the Bangkok area and want good ac cleaners try IAQ Technologies. They are an Aussie company and guarantee their work, the also have a product called GermXit which kills bacteria, viruses, mould etc. They use this product made from Tea Tree Oil after cleaning the ac unit inside and out. www.iaq-technologies.com 

Depends on their upbringing I guess. My wife and all her sister are very clean and keep their homes spotless and uncluttered. Don't think it's a cultural thing. It's what their parents teach them, just like everywhere else.

Learning to drive would help instead of just buying a license without passing a test.

Another blot of the Loxley- ASM records. If they paid them a decent wage "security officers" wouldn't do this.

RIP another sad story and we know that they will keep on coming and hear they say, "NO......she is different" !!

Its the blind leading the blind. Bikes are an easy target and normally don't cause that much pollution. Try BMA buses, truck, pick ups, food vendors during charcoal (Carbon Monoxide) etc. Also get some zoning in BKK and get rid of businesses what normally wouldn't operate within city limits in the west, Japan, S Korea etc. As they are a major source of pollution / VOC's.

You also need to check what you work as. Because some businesses and positions can only be taken by Thais.

Further to protect yourself. The general rule here is once your shareholding is set up it will be a max 51 - 49% in your wife's favour. If you want to make your position stronger break her share down so you have two Thai partners. 25 and 26% shareholding and you 49%. May sound harsh but it offers you more protection.

What ever you do, once set up take the document and lock them away from everyone. Even from your beloved future  wife.

Sadly ive hear of too many expats get ripped off by their wives and families. Not all I might add but too many are reported so id hate to thing of the ones that aren't.

Good luck. And i hope she is the one for you.

Using GPS tracking were not effective to prevent accidents, Academic Centre for Road Safety director Dr Thanapong Jinvong said yesterday.

I'm pretty sure if they used the GPS tracking for more than just maps and routes, they will find they have many  other functions, including warning the bus company of speeding, swerving, harsh braking, etc. So if they wanted they could be used to prevent accidents as they would identify the consistent bad drivers......but then again, that would be most of them I'm assuming and then the bus companies cannot say they didn't know !!! Ignorance is bliss for them.

What about cockroach races ! Ban the cockroach......
