You obviously never drive at night

If you have lights and have your Eyes on the road and Nowhere Else there's

 no need for rear and collisions.

I use to like driving trucks for work at night Much safer and Less distractions.

Samsung Washing Machines? 

Ok Gamma,Cut the Bullsh!t just tell us what Machine you like and get it over and done .

No need to call other machine  bad or indifferent ,

They are all good when new ,Just people like one Brand and some people like an other Brand that's

 the same with Anything , Cars Etc People.

Next question, why do some on here take offence so easily, we are, after all, talking about grown men here, and not teenage girls 

All the same thin skinned and can't take criticism.

They can'e even supply a proper schedule for domestic flights.

Hat Yai Phuket some fights are one Hr 5 min flights others are 6/8/9 Hr Flights .

I don't want to go to Bangkok and then to hat Yai or anywhere in Thailand .

Why would one fly 9 hrs if it takes only an Hr and 5 min and they charge accordingly Ripoff flight for 9 Hrs. hows stupid are they. cheaper to fly to Bangkok if one has to do his Passport.

We Aussies can't do Passport Renewals online /by mail.

Digger you need to change it back to normal size text mate before your post is deleted 👍👍

 

I thought it was, thanks.

I guess many if not all us keep a written diary , 

Are you serious ,No way Mate.

Why people insult others so easily and so often? 

Small mind ,weak personality, thinking they are better than anyone.

Personal opinion on guns in the private sector.

Nothing wrong with owning a Legal gun to protect oneself and ones family and for hunting if there's a place to hunt.

But being the stupid Governments laws that's not possible in every country ,that's one reason that there are so many Illegal guns in the community Not just the Crims 

I one can't protect his home and Family there's a need for a Better Government and changing the law.

There always be some people that Misuse a gun and other weapons for the wrong reason  .

One can use an axe to open up a intruder from A hole to Breakfast but a gun would be more safe to use (not for the intruder).

Fake cop shirks 1,500 baht bill from Michelin-starred Jay Fai

God luck to get away with that. 

Sounds like Karma .

People get Famous , get a Star .now they think they can charge what they want for something that  isn't anything special for an exuberant price.

Chanchai confessed to the crimes and claimed he had intended to surrender. However, after seeing the media coverage, he decided to wait for the situation to quiet down.

What ,He should've been Arrested on the spot and be put in jail . Why give him time to leave the country. 

What a weak sort of Justice department is that. No wonder this country is in a mess. and crims running the country.

It will take a longtime, but eventually people will look back on killing animals and meat eating in the same way we now look back on slavery, racism and apartheid......how did we ever think it was acceptable???

People have been eating meat for a long time It's been Accepted for about 2 Million years ,

This won't stop in a hurry .

Eating Meat and Marrow By at least 2.6 million years ago, a remarkable expansion in this diet started to occur; some hominins began incorporating meat and marrow from small to very large animals into their diet.

Thailand’s hotels produce the most greenhouse gas in Asia

Tuk tuks and taxis: Bangkok’s solution to overcharging crisis 

Can be Easily fixed When the driver gets Reported and IF If the Police are Made to Arrest  the Drivers and Confiscate the vehicle for a Month and Fine the Driver THB 10,000 

Put meters in Tuk Tuks as well.

But this is Thailand and the Taxi Mafia has Control  Not the Police.

Doesn't say much for the Law doesn't it Weak as P!ss

There is a law in Thailand that requires taxis to always run on meters and not to decline any customer that hails them when they are available. The government opened a hotline (1584) to call in relation to customer complaints against uncooperative taxi drivers.

But:  For Australian Old age Pensioners the payments are not subject to tax (but if the person has other income then the situation changes).

 

So for Aussie OAP recipients with no other income residing permanently in Thailand does the 'not subject to tax' mean that tax has been considered by the Aussie system and not taxable, therefore the 'not subject to tax' flows through to the Thai tax scenario? 

Yes this  seems to be right I just found a little more info for Our Aussies.   

Are Australian pensions taxed?

Tax on the Age Pension

There is no tax payable on withdrawals you make from super, whether it is regular retirement income payments or lump sums, provided you are aged 60 or over. However, what about Age Pension payments? Age Pension payments are generally tax free, provided they are your only source of income.
