    Golly, and not the Thais? I can't imagine why ... Jokes aside, try getting your Thai partner in to Oz. Much the same. 20 pages of details required to support the assertion that they won't overstay or work illegally.

    You might want to check the figures for Poland's economic growth over the last decade ...

    Some people manage to overcome the stereotypes. I'm guessing that Mexico is moving steadily forward, like Poland, Vietnam, Burkina Faso & others ...

    Notice how names are important. I guess in the Philippines it's called the West Sea, and in Indonesia the North Sea ...

    So that's alright then. Just keep spending on our new toys and we won't be more revolting than usual.

    Same thing every year. The monsoon is well under way, flooding has started ... and The Guvamint calls a meeting to consider the possibility of anti-flooding measures at an unknown date in the future. Pathetic. Never changes.

    I'm 76 but I'm aiming for 100+.

    The key thing is to supply maximum evidence that noone in the group has an interest in overstaying or working illegally. So: evidence of current employment, property and incomes in Thailand would be helpful; evidence of a previous crime-free visit; the wedding invitation details are good; Thai police criminal record clearance ...

    That's part of the local culture in Thailand, at every level of society. No concept of preventing a disaster with forethought, just pretty good at picking up the pieces afterwards (cf collapsed building a couple of months ago).

    I'll believe it when I see a whole central government department up and move to Korat.

    And surely that's an opportunity - not to reduce classrooms and teacher training - but to reduce the size of classes so the over-worked teachers can do what (in theory) they are employed to do!

    The knives are out and getting sharper by the day.

    So the fall in enrolments is caused by what? A population statistic (ie fewer babies being born in the modern world)? Or parents not thinking the effort is worthwhile? Or students not interested? ???

    And they'll still be talking but doing nothing in 50 years' time as the sea waters lap the royal palace ...

    Agree. Here in Surin I've done it a couple of times over the years, always coinciding with 90-day report. No papers required, no request from me, just hand over the old & the new p/p. All done in 5 minutes.

    But probably not in our lifetimes.

    So the wheel turns. Where it will stop noone knows, least of all the main players.

    Sadly, you're probably right. The question is - when & if - will The People stand by The People's Party and take to the streets of ALL Thai cities in sufficient strength & endurance & cleverly led so a coup or other elites' tricks (law courts) come to nothing?

    A rather unorthodox Crown Princess ...

    In the Coup-Staging Handbook the last action before staging a coup is to deny that there'll be one.

    Yes, worthy of a Shakespearean play. Sold-out for weeks on end.

    So this is a UK magazine that depends on US advertising?
  23. mfd101
    Many love affairs end in tears. So sad.
  24. mfd101
    Yes, some good news for once.

    Pray for the People's Party and the younger generation of intelligent and educated leaders.
