What penny was abolished? Not sure what you're talking about 2 cents, my pumps have always started at zero, as I always check.

actually it's $1 billion from the govt, it's a total of $2 billion from govt and private funds. I would like to see if the US government is investing that much they should have 50% shares in the company. No voting rights just share in the profits.

back around 2000ish I read an article in the BKK post, that some toll booth collectors and the manager were skimming money from the toll collections. They all were transferred to inactive position, nobody got fired or asserted for theft....just transferred. How nice steal from the government and dont lose your job, just sit at a desk all day doing nothing...lol

General of inactive position's?

Good logic, if you fail at something never try again. Sounds like great advise, Maye all the losing football teams should just quit.

so are you saying he didn't hit a girl and go to jail?

Glad you understand about pol pot. still trying to be right? Please provide a link to where Thaskin tells the police to go out and kill people. I recalling reading about a watch list, which I'm sure in reality could be the same as a kill list, but again never read or heard that Thaksin told the police to kill people. He did use words like enemies referring to drug dealers. and to make it clear, I'm not defending Thaksin or his actions, this is about you claiming he told the police to kill people, which I dont believe ever happened. I dont recall ever reading any comments like that in the paper nor heard anything on the radio or TV at the time.

I understand completely what happened I was hearing about daily. Are you agreeing with mileandow that Thaksin was as bad as pol pot??? Read what I posted. I didn't say Thaskin was good or that I even liked him. My statement was about his comparison of pol pot and Thaiskin which it's not even close to being the same. Maybe you guys need to read some history on pol pot 1.5 -2 million people killed.

I dont need to read up on it as I was here at the time. Yes, many innocent people were killed (almost half), but again it's nothing compared to pol pot.

you're really trying to compare pol pot to Thaiskin?? do you even understand what pol pot did?? 25% of the population was killed I'm no fan of Thaksin as he started the stricter visa/overstay rules, but Thaksin didn't tell the police to go out and kill people. That happened for various reasons, mainly being the typical shootouts between drug dealers and the police. Others being the BIB protecting their own interests, but the police said it was self defense which all know was BS...

Sorry might have been more than a few months (I loose track of time), A quick search came up with these from the past few years. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2020/08/05/american-thai-wife-arrested-operating-an-illegal-visa-business-in-bangkok-using-fake-stamps/#:~:text=American and Thai wife arrested for operating an,Scira and 34-year-old Grace Scira ...

I had a friend that used an agent for a few years, loved the agent...until there was an issue and it turned out the agent had fake stamps. just a few months ago there were some agents that did the same thing. I'm not saying all agents are bad, but to be safe I take care of things myself.

I would think he would loose his benefits from the USA if he did that, such as SS, Healthcare for being a vet etc.

needs to be cash They wont accept showing a credit card or a bank balance.

There are expats that own companies here and expats working for large multinational companies. My first trip to Thailand was for work and then my company transferred me to Thailand full time. I work with multinational companies and most of the upper management if from abroad. There is allot more to Thailand than bars....

yes, sefl checkouts became a big thing during covid in the USA, now threre is allot of push back. I hate them. $11 for a bag of ice??? think there was a mistake.

cheap girls??? you also get some bonuses ..corrupt cops, pot holes in roads, expensive booze, free roaming dogs, Ganja (legal or not TBD) hell, what more could you ask for?

I was reading Thaivisa

I would say theses pictures are more of a normal funeral in the small villages. This was one of our neighbors a few years ago.

This was for one of our workers several years ago. Our company did pay, but this was a poor temple so it was still an outside ceremony.

you need to check the fine print on your insurance policy.

Get a visa and enter Thailand, make sure you have equivalent of 20K thai baht, onward ticket etc. If you dont want to do that, get you GF to come to Vietnam and bring your stuff.

The Thai navy has not released any information on their findings of what happened.

or maybe the second place didn't understand you and just changed the oil thinking that is what you wanted, since they dont speak english.

Go back to Honda, it sounds as if they didnt rest the change oil light.
