The real question is how many PM's are there? Two I suggest. One the puppet the other the puppteer. -
Delayed Start to Rainy Season Forecast in Thailand
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I wouldn't hold your breath. If I remember correctly the real wet didn't start until September last year and was the shortest wet season I can remember. Loooong, hot, humid build up. Will this year be different? As for the wet season it traditionally starts on Khao Phansa this year 20/7. -
Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Or have to go back Aus and live there for 5 years I think it is before you can claim an overseas old age pension. There are also other big obstacles but no need to go into it. -
Complete nonsense and should in no way be taken seriously. Best country. Best city. Best place for expats. Best food. Best place for hub of hubs. Rediculous. p.s. when was the last time if ever you've heard of a forest being descibed as "verdant"? More ChatGPT word salads being passed off as journalism.

Heatwave Alert: Thailand Expects 43C Weather and Severe Summer Storms
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is the definition of a heatwave from the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia: http://www.bom.gov.au/metadata/catalogue/19115/ANZCW0503900601#:~:text=Abstract,climate and the recent past. The Bureau of Meteorology defines a heatwave as three or more days in a row when both daytime and night-time temperatures are unusually high in relation to the local long-term climate and the recent past. This falls within all definitions of a heatwave I have seen. I say again temperatures are within April maximums and thus not unusual. The unusual thing is it's everyday. -
Ex-Deputy PM's Wealth Revealed, Including Cars Worth 87M Baht
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How much in offshore accounts is another thing. He's as crooked as they come. Thailand is corrupt and corruption is just part of doing business here. From the very top down to school and hospital directors corruption is endemic. This everyone is well aware of. -

Corrupt money but I have to say he's not alone in this. Love to see this revelation with the Senate, generals and the RTP. -

Stupid comment. Even the middle class is feeling the pinch with costs there. -

No. Australia does not have a frozen pension. It's indexed. Getting it, however, is not easy. Can't be bothered explaing. Look it up. -

Can't give you anymore money because illigal immigrants are very expensive for the budget. You may be a British national but you are overseas and as such a lesser person to those who aren't Brits who have got a leaky boat to the Isles. It's a very, very sad world.- 709 replies

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's an insane policy. Getting an Australian pension overseas is also insane. Apart from this once again this AI article lacks any editing demonstated in the subheading. It would seem all foreigners no matter what nationality are "beginning to feel a financial strain due to the UK government's pension freeze policy." -
He's a powerful operator who has been in control of PTP since he fled the country. Everyone knows this. He was the one that organised the deal to get himself back and his sister with what I would imagine to be a very expensive deal with the military elite. Thought PTP might win the last election but that didn't happen so I'm sure it cost him extra big time to pay off the senators so as deny the rightful victors government to form a coalition with what the PTP has always been opposed to. The military elite. So many Thaksin supporters will not forget this. He jumped into bed with the enemy.

The thing is you are allowed to say this but if I was to counter your post my post would be removed as disinformation and or conspiracy theory. Bit like when saying the vaccines can cause vaccine injury or death was misinformation/conspiracy but is now fact.

Heatwave Alert: Thailand Expects 43C Weather and Severe Summer Storms

Agree the 'feels like' or heat index is closer to reality. Quite simply though it's bloody hot and bloody hot every day and there is no let up. -
Heatwave Alert: Thailand Expects 43C Weather and Severe Summer Storms
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I see lots of confused emojis to my quoted post. I suggest those who are confused look up the definition of what a heatwave actually is. What we are experiencing is not a heatwave within the definition. What it is is continuous highs at the higher end of April maximum temperatures. This is the unusual part. Maximums are not unusually high for April. -

Maybe but I'm guessing mid to late May. Next month is still going to be very hot with increasing humidity . -

As we all know what is unlawful for some is ignored/swept under the carpet for others here in The Land of Smiles which is totally corrupt from the very top. -
