  1. I'm yet to see how the Thai revenue office will know about income from UK assets paid to a UK bank account.
  2. Sad and pathetic but true.
  3. She doesn't react like someone who has been kicked. Normally someone would touch or hold the place they were struck. They might walk with a limp or have some impediment or a reaction of shock at least. Let's face it, Thai women, whatever their social standing, are not known for telling the truth. In fact, they're some of the world's best liars.
  4. They've been saying this for years. Before it was because too much ground water was being stolen combined with too much concrete covering Bangkok and too many high rise buildings. One thing is for sure. The Thais will not do anything until it's too late. And even then, money will mysteriously disappear.
  5. I'm shocked. I really thought Anutin was honest and went into politics as he has the best interests of the country in his heart. And the whole time he's been using his position to obtain state land and profit from the medical industry? No, never, not him. There must be some misunderstanding.
  6. He's been traveling the developed world begging for investment. So yes, what the developed world thinks about their politics is incredibly relevant.
  7. Thailand has been a sham for decades. Anyone old enough will remember how they smiled to the rest of the world while collecting vast sums of money from the Americans so they could use the country as a military base for slaughtering innocents in North Vietnam. Or how Thailand propped up the Khmer Rouge, gave sanctuary to its leaders, and then pocketed tens of millions of dollars in foreign aid that was supposed to be going into rebuilding Cambodia when the regime fell. More recently, they have been financing the Junta in Burma. Ordinary Thais = lovely, if somewhat simple, people. The country's rulers = vermin.
  8. A nation of cowards. Always have been, always will.
  9. They should do something about the Soi 6 problem.
  10. Corruption, poor heath and safety and a lack of uneforcement of laws are a symptom of a developing or undeveloped society. Don't tell Thais that, though. They'll get upset.
  11. They won't exactly choose Rolls Royce after getting caught demanding bribes for contracts.
  12. Apparently Thailand also controls prostitution through laws. Everyone knows how effective that is. Cannabis shops will be exactly the same as bars and massage parlours - monthly payments to police to keep operating.
  13. Could they spread their legs any wider?
  14. Every one of them. They couldn't lie straight in bed. A certain family should also be included on there, seeing as they treat the country's revenue like their own purse
  15. Wonder how much Stretta paid to the Toxin clan to be their PM candidate. He certainly wasn't elected by voters.
  16. Christ, you're exactly the kind of person that would fit in working for the Thai police.
  17. Will the new boyfriend be questioned?
  18. Sretta and the Thaksin party haven't really rocked the apple cart. All they've done is try and oil the cogs of the tourism industry with a bunch of daft ideas and travel the world with their hands out. I for one hope they grow a pair and show some courage (admittedly, not a quality that the Thais are known for) and take on the military.
  19. If you can't figure it out, do you really think the minions in yellow t-shirts pushing pens in government offices will be able to? A nation that takes a month to have paper printed and signed has little chance of monitoring your earnings.
  20. The amusing thing about the Siamese people is that they simply never learn from the past and evolve. Thaksin has been kicked out by the military twice already and here he is for a third time, having won back power but facing the same fate because he didn't foresee them going for him. Their whole history is that of faux democracy followed by insurrections from the military-monarchal complex.
  21. The holder of the Education visa must leave the country before applying for a Non-B. Should their Education visa be cancelled before they leave and apply? Or can they obtain the Non-B then cancel the Ed visa when they return. We asked an officer at Chaeng Wattana today and they were typically unsure and vague and said either could be done.
  22. Thailand has been run by the army-monarchical complex since the 19th century. Big business and Buddhism simply uphold the order.
