Good to see that at least someone gets it.

 

Big Joke is in a private prison in a private residence right now. If you don’t know what that means then maybe time to get off the concrete bench outside 7/11 and start educating yourself about the country you are living in.

Rather condescending.

They can try to erase him all they want , but Google never forgets . 

"Surachate"  gave me 161000 hits . 

 

Probably more hits if I try with his Thai name. 

 

This is his Thai name.

Great to hear that your friend got to the Royal Gazette already. I passed my MOI interview in June 2018 and haven't been called for the oath ceremony yet. I heard I was in the next batch, but if your friend got to the Royal Gazette before me even though doing his MOI interview several months after me, then it would appear it doesn't go in any sort of chronological order. I see alot of people posting about timeframes. It would appear there is no real way to gauge it accurately. The best you can hope is an approximation of 3 to 6 years total, I would say. Plus, some applicants may have ways of getting in through faster. Anyone finishing it in under 3 years...  

My MOI interview was after yours. Nice to have you reporting your progress.

I've been waiting since March 2018.

I waited 8 months from MOI getting my file to the actual interview.

11 months from NIA interview.

Maybe a trip to their offices would speed it up a bit.

Does anyone know if the pension age is still 55?

I gave a British embassy worker(Thai) a telling off(in Thai) for shouting 'you, you phone' at the gate. 

Totally going downhill there. 

Kinder is not that important in my opinion, although I did notice a big difference between one of my kids after going to  a Montessori one, she's a real brainbox now. 

Primary is a little important but if you speak English all the time at home to them they will learn it. 

One piece of advice - start saving or change employment in the future as it cost my approximately 200k baht a year for each child once they reached high school and $20,000 for the ones that went to a foreign university. 

He's a clever guy, worked for the CIA in the past and was responsible for locating Saddam Hussain.

I would go to either camp if it meant a free piss up.

 It is the first step to corruption if it is free.

I live in Thailand and 2 days ago the ladies turned up with pink envelopes.

 I politely told them to go away.

 My wife did say take the envelope and I will not vote for them anyway.

My point is that corruption is a part of our lives.

It has crept into our basic structure.

If any of the candidates has a rally in Thailand with free piss, let me know.

I will be first in the line to enter. Cheers

EXONERATION -  get your tin-foil hats off. 

I don't think we're allowed to discuss political things here.

Damn, it isn't my mate Nate.

Just leave the guy alone, leave it to the authorities to interview him, I would have thought the University may have suspended him until all enquirers are complete, just as a precaution.

 

 

A precaution against what?

Just heard on the Thai news that Prayud has won, time to celebrate!

Obviously, I meant self regulate before reaching the stage of addiction, which fortunately was not the predicament facing the poster in question.

You're not an addict, are you. "normal" people can just not understand addiction, even "normal" doctors in the field of addiction.

What, pray tell is your definition of "a real alcoholic".

It is someone who suffers from the disease of alcoholism. Someone who has an allergic reaction after taking one drink, which means they can't stop, no matter how hard they try, no matter how much will-power they have.

it's someone who gets Delerium Tremens(shakes, hallucinations, etc) when they stop drinking after a binge. 

These days, there are many who go to societies like AA and call themselves alcoholics, but in fact are not, they are just heavy drinkers that want to cut down or stop.

Sorry to dissapoint you, however I am that expert as being a Medical Doctor. 

Please don't answer because I don't like wasting my time with #####

Oh dear... Not only does he not want a debate, which he can't win, he is very rude too!

A medical doctor saying an alcoholic can stop drinking if he wants to, whatever next! 

Doctors with over-inflated egos add to the problem in this area, never help.

BS. All alcs would tell you they can stop drinking if they want. 

If he really wants to stop he would have gone to a clinic already. 

But he's not able to see his problem. Only experienced medical experts can help

The definition of alcoholism is having lost the power of choice over alcohol. 

NO alkies I know/have know(which is thousands) would say they can stop drinking after they have taken that first one. You don't know what you're talking about.

SA?

SA is a 12 step program for sex addicts. Unbelievably, there is none in Pattaya!

You are a alc addict for sure but won't admit. 

You need professional help not just advice from TV doctors. 

Go to a GP you can trust and/or contact AA. 

Also you risk you marriage. If you not stop drinking your wife will run away one day. 

Don't go to a doctor in Thailand, they know nothing of alcoholism recovery. And he is not an alkie, he says he can stop drinking so he feels OK the next day. NO alcoholic can stop drinking after taking the first drink.

Don't go to AA, as heavy drinkers are ruining it.
