........... and that's all it is - Talk. 😞

For the last time - these are NOT wildfires. These are set by people !!!

This evidence is undeniable and yet, this guys insists that everything is being done. I wonder if PP are allowed to display such images in the censure debate. If so, it would shut this guy up in his tracks. This government is useless.

Here is a small satellite picture of the fires in Thailand and neighboring Myanmar. 😞 Edit : the picture following my post is much better and shows the extent of the fires not only in surrounding countries BUT in Thailand as well. It sickens me that I set up a life here but I still love the country and the normal people. Politicians can do one.

I was like you and then I bought massive black bags, put my rubbish in them, put them in the back of the truck and then put in the bins of government buildings.

Sorry, not true. Pollution levels have increased 50% since 4 years ago. The north has the worst of it every year. 😞

wow! 75 IN your condo! Is that correct?

You are correct. There appears to be no live fires in your area at all. here are many in Chom Thong, so only a matter of time before the wind changes and it's heading your way. 🙂

Where are you ? I also thought that and then looked at the IQ air live map of fires and there are many in the area around me. 😞 Check your area out and you will most likely be surprised.

Please don't be offended but you and me talking about it here isn't going to change anything. It needs to be in the national news and in the national newspapers. Maybe it will push the government to do more. They are still burning here in my province even though it is banned. As always, cops do nothing and local government officials do nothing. 😞

it's not on here and it isn't in the paper that can't be mentioned. In my province this morning 162 AQI. Why is it not being talked about/discussed ?? It's a national disgrace Thailand !!

Pizza Poster. 🙂

What about some reciprocation when it comes to being married to a Thai for many years. Make it automatic to be able to apply for citizenship after a certain amount of years and stop holding literally thousands of families at hostage. I would have to leave Thailand if I couldn't come up with the 400,000 baht every year - where is the humanity in that? What about doing something for the greater good and not just about making money. It's disgusting. 😞

I have went through all 4 pages so far with multiple comments and have yet to see anyone condone this action. 😞 I have no dog in this hunt as I am not American and cannot vote, but it does give an indication of how broke the political system is when nobody has said this is the wrong thing to do. It is sad to see Americans on here being so far apart in all aspects of their lives. I fear this hatred will never end. It's sad. That's my piece - now get back to your squabbling.

If FD means fixed then Yes they do. Check the BOT website for list of banks covered.

Was asked by GSB for marriage cert when trying to open account. WP - check. Passport - check Pink ID - check Seen marriage cert on her list and insisted on it. I asked if I need to get married to open an account and she responded 'Yes.' LOL I tried to explain that the things on the list were what could be asked for but not all are required if you have some. Was havin none of it. 🙂 Off I pop to another of their branches - WP & passport - Account opened!

It certainly does the hear good. A heartwarming story that we all should take influence from. Notice no pics or posting on social media. Just give and move on. Saw an older guy Monday this week. He had one of those 3 -wheel bicycle things that a handle moves along. His legs were no good and he was rummaging through bins in the rain. Swung the truck around, did a u-turn and gave him some cash. The expression on his face was reward enough. He wasn't begging but trying to make his own way & this needs to be rewarded. 🙂

The number of elderly people in my local Thai hospital is massive and many are there for simple ailments that a few baht in a chemist would solve. They actually get upset if a doctor tells them that they have the cold & should stay at home, have hot drinks and stay warm. If the doctor doesn't prescribe them something, they feel slighted and let him/her know. Many docs just prescribe them vitamin A to get them on their way. Maybe the small payment of the 30 baht might make them think before they make an unnecessary trip. If something is totally free, people will abuse it.

Another additional option .......... smart watches now can call designated numbers if you fall over and fail to stand up after a specified time. Also, you can buy a dongle that has a sim card. Similarly, you program in up to 5 numbers and if you press the button in an emergency, it calls them all. Technology is there to assist. 🙂

Unfortunately, you need to be paying tax on a 40k Thai baht salary. I earn more than this but my Uni cooks the books and so only declares less and puts the remainder down to housing allowance. I can't therefore apply even though I have been here 20 years with about 15 of them on work permit. 😞

this just in ...... Election Commission backs new party in branch row Registration rules are in order, it says. 🙂 Get it right up yeh.

A VETERAN Khon Kaen politician and his secretary were on Thursday handed two-month prison sentences for stripping a reporter to his underpants in 2016. He has a prison record - how can this guy be a senator?????????????

Why are none of you commenting on this? You cannot be a senator with a criminal record! This guy has been sentenced by the courts.

You will be asked for a deposit as the bike is far back in a storage shed. You will pay deposit and never hear from them again. This is a scam on FB. Walk away.
