Senate Passes First Reading of Same-Sex Marriage Bill
mfd101 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So what would you suggest when one of the homosexual couple is the biological father of all of his 4 boys (2 singles + twins, all produced over time by artificial insemination in Usofa). As is the case of friends of mine in Oz. Went thru school with 2 Dads, loving fathers. All 4 now teenagers, with no doubt the same ups & downs of teenagers everywhere. What's the problem? (other than blind prejudice). -
Would it save the company if he changed its name to something that reflects more accurately its status and purpose? For example: Lies Social.

Passenger charges soar at six major Thai airports
mfd101 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Flying has been unaffordable to MOST Thais since Adam & Eve departed the Garden of Eden. At the present rate of progress, it's likely to remain so for most of the next 50 years. -

Drivers license for Thai to drive in Laos & car insurance
mfd101 replied to mhortig's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Remember that your wife will be driving on the 'wrong' side of the road (the evil French influence). Which has implications for safety. -
Yes, too shy. Rather like my Thai.

I got new long-distance (ie non-reading) specs a year ago at Bangkok Vision Center, Wattana (near Benjakiti Park). Couldn't be better. Up steep stairs, small, friendly, spoke English, tested my eyes, discussion, laughed at my jokes, chose my frames (Essilor) from limited samples, glasses ready later that day, careful fitting, 7000฿. One year later couldn't be happier with them.

mfd101 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I assume that this HUGE increase (My goodness! How am I going to cope?) will be included in our air fares ... so we won't actually notice it. Which means we have nothing to worry about. Those who continue to worry about it are presumably too poor even to eat on a regular basis. -
Economy unlikely to grow in first quarter as Thai manufacturing crumbles

Looking forward to the next 50 years of economic & social revolution in LOS, led by the country's forward-looking politicians and it's well-educated, tech-savvy and enterprising capitalist class. -

Is Srettha planning to divest his finance portfolio to SET chief Pichai?

Forgive my ignorance, but I take it that government Ministers don't have to be members of Parliament? The current PM is not, for instance. What about the others? Effect of a military-designed 'Constitution'? -

Australian OAP Taxation Issues.
mfd101 replied to Will27's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Of my small investments, the main part is indeed in an account-based pension (as it is the remains of the lump sum part of my payout when I retired from the Australian Public Service in 2004). Apart from that the remains of my Canberra sellup when we left Oz in late 2015 to build & live here in Surin are now vanishingly small so barely worth worrying about. But I thank you for your comments. They are invaluable to me as I'm far from being expert in all these matters. -
Australian OAP Taxation Issues.
mfd101 replied to Will27's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Noted, thanks. The bank & the manager of my small investments will both continue without difficulty. The Findex accountants will be the interesting ones as they're the people who will have to take the appropriate measures vis-à-vis the ATO. Once all business concluded, I would assume I won't need them any more. We shall see. -
Australian OAP Taxation Issues.
mfd101 replied to Will27's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Yes, thanks for that. I plan to live in Thailand for the rest of my life (currently age 74 & healthy) so the sooner I get rid of the Oz tax burden the better. I'll start by consulting with Findex in Canberra (who prepare my annual tax return) and point out what they should have been advising me on before now (!).
