The cleaning staff at the place i work live in converted shipping containers onsite and are paid 1000 SAR pcm. This is equivalent to the the Thai minimum wage.

And indebted to the agency for years 

Wonder who owns the agencies and what percentage of their cargoes wages will they take for the years to come leaving them struggling in a foreign land.  Heard these stories so many times.

The nips are getting bigger

Why in the world does this country need fighter jets? What a joke and a half.

Why does it need an aircraft carrier 

Are they suitable for the rusting aircraft carrier they have never used.

Oh please, how many of these operations have they had in the past only to find absolutely no evidence of prostitution.

Yet he was perfectly happy having a convicted heroin trafficker in a ministerial position. 

 

Odd. 

Apparently according to Thai Court that offence, conviction and prison time isn't recognised as it was in Australia.  Foreign convictions against Thais aren't recognised in Thailand.

Ah that time of the year again to get together for drinks, meal and talk about the haze.  Been doing this for decades and still no solutions or action.

Will there be a clause that foreigners can only take 25% of their winnings

There are hundreds more waiting to be his love

She must be the 1st pregnant Miss Universe contestant.  Good luck to her.

Well De goey is stuffed. Won't play another game 

"Less is More"  Doe's he mean you get less bang for your buck?

Not worth travelling to Thailand at the moment.  To many restrictions, redtape and hoops to jump through.

Russel Crowe is a good actor and has been in some amazing films, a few are my personal favorites.  He's clearly enjoying his time in Thailand, which is great to see.  The police officer did a really great thing and dealt with the situation he found himself in a very positive and peaceful way.  Two decent chaps enjoying a pleasant moment together.

 

I'm enjoying seeing/hearing about Crowe's time in Thailand.  It seems, to me, to be a generally positive thing.

 

It feels like maybe people have become a little entrenched in the doom and gloom of the last couple of years.  Maybe it's a good time to stop, take a step back, look around, and smell the roses.

 

Life moves pretty fast, or so I'm told.

Romper Stomper

What an inspiring story.  Thanks for meeting him Russ, I really have to get back to Thailand now and hopefully I can meet a policeman also.

Seriously, millions of foreign tourists will flock to Thailand to see a Thai singer that nobody has heard of?

How is a native South American plant sacred to Thailand?

Our son's plan is to attend ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) where he will graduate as an officer.  He has two passports and enters on his Thai one.  Good luck trying to trying to grab an Australian Miltary officer and force him to do Thai national service.  Would be a major international incident.

But they would exit on Thai passports.. thus showing them as left the country

If they come in on foreign passport and are required to get a visa then leave on a thai passport that visa will still be open.  When the visa expires would they be at risk of arrest for overstay.  When they try to come in again on their foreign passport they would be flagged as overstay with immigration as they technically hadn't departed.

This misunderstanding excuse is so worn out.  Whenever there is an inquiry everyone already knows the outcome "Misunderstanding"
