Australian aged pension: Currently 21700 baht per fortnight @ 26 pa equals 564200 baht equals 47000 baht per month. I aspire to 25 baht per $A so the following figures would apply: 26875 per fortnight 698750 pa 58229 per month.

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
poyai111 replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand News
Jamal Bowman acolyte pulls the emergency lever, why? b Because our leaders are clueless and have been caught unprepared - proof? Witness the recovery crew at the site of the collapsed buildng in Chatuchak - aimless, confused and leaderless. A leader with a whistle giving commands which become compellingly assertive by means of the incessant use of said whistle is all that is needed to invigorate the heroic response which the occasion demands. -

As a consequence, if the teacher does not know the answer to an unlikely question then there is a loss of face issue thus demeaning the teacher in the eyes of the students. This incident is entirely culturally offensive and is to be avoided at all costs. Solution? The teacher should avoid consequential retaliation in the form of ridicule or sarcasm etc but should encourage the curiosity of the student by admitting that the answer does not come readily to mind but an attempt will be made to provide the information during the next lesson

Pentagon Orders Expulsion of Transgender Troops Within 60 Days
poyai111 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Biologically males have an inherent urge to be aggressive warriors. To this end, fathers of yore encouraged their sons to participate in harsh physical activities i.e. hunting, fishing, competitive sports particularly sports involving fierce bodily contact. Some of the specimens in uniform could not climb out of a foxhole, thei only form of bodily contact being that of self pleasure. -

Thailand's Upcoming Entertainment Law Set to Change Nightlife
poyai111 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Read the fine print between the lines. Could this be the trojan horse whereby casinos will be introduced to slake the thirst of Chinese gamblers? Thai politicians have form on their obsequious intentions and with the economy on a precipice, they could use gambling to assuage their failures. -
Bill Maher Slams Left’s Reluctance to Criticize China: ‘The New Islam’
poyai111 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Thailand soon to be China's vassal state? Observe the demise of car manufacturing factories in the last 2 years as a result of the establishment of Chinese electric vehicle dealerships all over the country. They are proliferating the market to the detriment of employment opportunities to those workers who have been made redundant by complicit government authorities. The emerging middle class bears the distress and I predict an outpouring of protests as the queue of unemployed grows exponentially -
The gig economy where everyone of enterprise and initiative can be an entreprenurial marvel! Not! Whilst enthusiasm can take you to great heights, a modicom of economic wisdom enlightens one to the reality of running a business. On its face, the opportunity of realising a turnover which is far and away an enormous improvement on a lowly wage, is so very obvious, what also must be considered are the fixed costs, running costs and a reasonable return on investment after factoring in depreciation. Taking the taxi industry as an example if one were to consider joining the throng and invest in the enterprise without scrutiny, then one would be doomed to failure. simple question: what would the cost to the business be in providing a trip from Jomtien to Pattaya? At 79 baht there is very little profit margin. In fact, most probably a loss. My point is that there are so many folks now joining this gig economy that , because of their business illiteracy, are doomed to failure and exploitation. Indded, the travelling public are treated to cheap fares but at the expense, eventually , of a deleterious service and lowering of standards. You think taxi drivers are disgruntled? wait until reality bites and regula tion has to sort out the wreckage

14-Year-Old Girl Fatally Stabs Grandmother Following Heated Argument
poyai111 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
Looks like granny had a problem with the bottle. A nasty piece of work taking out her craziness on her grand daughter who, at 14, would have been having emotional problems of her own when her unfortunate history is observed -
Truck Crash on Expressway: 16 Vehicles Wrecked, 17 Injured
poyai111 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
Experienced the stab in the back routine some years ago in PKK province whilst en route to Hat Yai. I was tail end Charlie waiting for a road maintenance crew to allow me to proceed when a ten tonner was required to join the stationery queue. Unfortunately his brakes were not cooperating, at least that was his claim but when he alighted from his cabin he was seen to be pulling up his trousers and adjusting his dress. It could be claimed, if one were so enlightened that the man was pleasuring himself with gay abandon, who is not a person only a desciptor. So we have noted another likely reason for these acts of god which occur so frequently on the roads of this country. -

It would be remiss of me to neglect to mention that Pridi was the driving force behind the establishment of Thammasat University - the conscience of the Thai people
-
Pridi - all respect to the man. A leader, along with Pribul, of the revolution in 1932 (?) which ended the absolute monarchy but, unfortunately, not the lesse majeste injustice. During WW2 Pribul sided with the Japanese while Pridi led the opposition. Deserving of more recognition of his place in history. His only failure was to be his inability to curb the power of the military and the hi so faction of Thai society which, to this day, has been the millstone around the nation's neck

Red Ferrari crashes into Bangkok canal, driver unharmed
poyai111 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
These super cars have an enormous power to weight ratio and throttle control is critical if one is to harness the car's potential. An inexperienced driver can overpower the rear wheels provoking a power slide the correction of which requires skill and adroitness. It seems the driver was found lacking in both, is my assumption. -

Apologies to everyone for the accusation of Lee Kwan Yew sabotaging the acceptance of Australia into Asean. My grievance should have been directed at Malaysia's Mahathir Mahomad. -

Recent whisper revealed a potential visa arrangement proposed for Australians who wanted to visit Thailand - a reciprocal arrangement similar to that which exists throughout all Asean nations. Maybe now is the time that Australia should be recognized as another Asean nation as was proposed way back when. Paul Keating was PM at the time. The underwhelming response by Singapore's Lee Kwan Yew put the kybosh on that idea opining that Australia should not be part of Asean because it was a European country not Asian. I think now is the time to be more thoughtfully diplomatic and consider inclusion as a positive and beneficial step in the right direction. -

Thailand in Crisis: Population plummets by 500k in 4 Years

Add to narcissistic attitude of the telephone zombie cohort the obvious lack of masculinity exemplified by the soy boy brats and their consequential testosterone deprivation and you have a real social problem. -
Maybe bees have been wrongly accused. Do they have an alibi? Are there any giant Asian hornets in the area? The latter have an extensive rap sheep and the same modus operandi. I see a movie forthcoming (another one, yawn)
