  1. Surely you must mean after her trial and if she is found guilty?
  2. I am pretty sure no farang is that stupid, one million baht a month, plus expensive watches etc? Just think if you had that much disposable income what you could get?
  3. So on top of the 1 million baht per month........"Her demands don’t stop at a sizable monthly allowance. She also mentioned the desire for luxury timepieces, specifying brands like Patek Philippe and Rolex, adding a touch of glamour to her request." So I wonder what a suitable person, man, would get in return for these outrageous demands?? It seems like she is selling herself to the highest bidder? So I guess 'love' is out of the question?😂
  4. What with this and now Thai banks making it more difficult to open a bank account for foreigners, it's almost like they don't want us in Thailand?? Well just for the money....
  5. The letters are sent out approx every 2 years, in my experience, so I would guess you don't need to do anything.
  6. It would seem it depends on who you get on the phone? I had a similar problem last month. I called the number+44 191 218 7777 and after the customary automated menu i got thru to an assistant. I explained the situation, I am in Thailand etc, the post is hit ans miss etc. she explained a letter containing the life certificate was sent 2months ago and another about a month after that. I didn't receive it. To my surprise she said they knew that Thailand has a substandard postal system and that some get thru and some dont. She then asked me around 8 security questions, yes 8, i answered and she said ok she would remove the block and I would receive the pension in 5 working days and if the letter does show up, to dispose of it! The pension was received as she said. She was very pleasant and very helpful!
  7. Yes, Lucy Connolly springs to mind!
  8. Yes, President Trump does seem to be on a winning streak?
  9. The pictures look good, but they don't tell the whole story. Far from it! A 2023 survey by the Gamaan Institute found that 15% of Iranians inside the country supported the Islamic Republic, the present regime, while 81% opposed it, with 4% unsure. This survey, conducted with 158,000 respondents, is one of the more cited sources due to its methodology, though it may still face sampling biases given the political climate
  10. Even if the police apprehend the 10 guys, what will be the outcome? A slap on wrist and don't do it again?
  11. You mean illegal aliens of course? If they entered the US illegally then they are criminals, just like if entering Thailand illegally. Each country deals with them as they see fit!
  12. KSA is in general a very safe place to live and work, you can walk around at 2 am and nothing is gonna happen to you!
  13. Should try Nigeria! I worked there for around 6 months in Lagos, Victoria Island. Very dangerous, especially after dark, not the locals so much but the police, they make the Thai cops look like boy scouts.!
  14. Yes indeed, looks like the Supreme Court have come up Trumps again!
  15. Yes Thailand has the correct attitude on this, that being if in Thailand illegally, deport them. Unlike the UK where if there illegally, put them up in nice hotel and give them everything, like food, clothes, medical, phone and an allowance!
  16. There would be no point at all in Iran doing that. As of May 2025, Iran’s stockpile of near 5% LEU (in uranium hexafluoride, UF6, form) was reported at 5,508.8 kg (uranium mass, or U mass), equivalent to 8,149.1 kg (hex mass), according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The LEU stockpile includes uranium enriched between 2% and 5%, with a significant portion at or near 4.5%. Iran has not prioritized stockpiling 4–5% LEU for civilian reactor fuel, instead using much of it as feedstock to produce 20% and 60% enriched uranium, which is inconsistent with civilian need.
  17. Wrong again! For reactors only 3-5% enrichment is needed! For most nuclear reactors, particularly light-water reactors (LWRs) like pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs), uranium enrichment levels typically range from 3% to 5% uranium-235 (U-235). This is sufficient for sustaining a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction to generate heat for electricity production.
  18. Maybe he just wanted to look different?? Well he definitely succeeded!😂
  19. Whichever country you go to, except your own, the Immigration officer always has the discretion to deny entry, even if you have a visa. If they need a reason they can always make one up. How many times have we seen this, on this board with some folks getting denied entry into Thailand.
  20. Well not quite, he hasn't won. the mayoral election itself. He will face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an independent, in the general election in November 2025.
  21. "USA telling every other country to do what, or else" The USA are not telling every other country what to do! Attempting to stop terrorism is a good thing! Attempting to turn this into a racist argument when no one is being in the slightest racist is pathetic!
  22. Imagine seeing this guy on a dark night? Scary? Dubai did the right thing!
