    I have always wondered why a single person needs 800,000 to look after himself and a married person with a wife and possibley a couple of kids to look after only needs 400,000 ??

    I see your point but am I not right in thinking you can't spend that fund because it has to be shown at 90 day reports ?

    I've never had such issues at 711s or Family Marts but I have at restaurants. So at restaurants when I pay with 1000 baht I show the bill and say the amount. Seems a bit much but it always works and I haven't had any waiters give me attitude about it either.

    Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
     

    When paying with a 10000 in a bar I always ask if they can change this as I hand over, so they know that I know, and I know that they know....

    Nothing will be done by Western governments eager to appease muslim migrants just as with the muslim men who have four wives, even tho bigamy is illegal. In Australia they treat 3 of the "wives" as single mothers, give each one a government pension and a place to live in, courtesy of the tax payer. 

    Same in UK ....

    Quite a few years back a novel came out here called "Private Dancer".  A writer for the BKK Post, believe it was, reviewed it and said it should be handed out free to every single westerner coming into the country.  One of the many occurrences in the book was exactly that, husband passed off as brother.  Good, entertaining read.  Still in print, as far as I know.

    I believe it was by the brilliant Stephen Leather.

    There's some pretty aggressive men - I just watched about 6 of these.

    One pulled a gun, one physically attacked one of the group and they rolled on the ground, one drove home (slowly due to traffic jam) with 2 of the group on the hood, etc.

    They are an aggressive race, but my personal experience has been with ones that barge into me on Jomtien beach road ....

    I do agree but i think the only reason alcohol is the most dangerous because it is legal and cheap (here in LOS anyway)

    as such, these geezers can pretty much have as much as they want without regulation and no barman here will say "you had enough"

    if you got monkey they serve you all night

    not like other countries

     

    Yes, you would think long term acohol abuse must cause mental illness.

    but if other drugs were legal and people could get them anywhere and cheap many would be a lot worse.

     

    Is a monkey 500 baht ?

    India is getting fed up with this, so a pre-announced bail would solve the issue of finding acceptance for the family, maybe.
    Or, maybe, a good old fashioned honey and milk bath, that is really scary, and should make any criminal think five times before committing a hideous crime.

    Nevertheless, imho, the roots are deeper in society and its customs.

    It used to be that girls were not preferred since to wed one off a dowry was required.
    Now, a shortage of some 22 million Females in 15-64 years olds creates a lot of desperate men.
    That is some 6 percent plus the natural relation ship friction makes a very large group,
    Say 10 - 15 + percent of males, some 40 -60 million men that cannot find a wife because there aren't enough women.

    (This is not intended as an excuse, please see first paragraph, just an observation.)

    If there are not enough females maybe you should stop murdering them at birth ???
