Does crashing birthrate and aging society spell doom for Thailand?
Not to worry for the infrastructures left empty. Make the visa and immigration procedures easier, and all us quality posters of AN will flock the BTS, MRT, the malls, pool villa developpments and the banks with good foreign money-money.

I think with the forthcomming immigration rules all the broke-racist-drunks could be out.

Trump surrenders for historic fourth arrest
The proper lexical if you want to be smart is "populist" (and not popularity).

Srettha is the world’s second tallest leader
In that case his new limo better be an XL strech Maybach !!

"Where is it at". Possibly compared to "before".
White Rose 1 hotel has good feedbacks.

Trump surrenders for historic fourth arrest
No problem if it's the law etc etc etc. But what about all the scandals on the Biden and his clan ? Not to mention that after each attack against Trump from the system, his popularity soars in the polls and earns him more supporters.

Does anyone know of a good carpenter in Pattaya for kitchen and bathroom cabinet work.
Why not check with neighbours, condo home owners or house owners if they have anybody to recommend ?

Except for a few exceptions here and there, has anybody really seen a politician do anything that benefits the people in general?

Thai resident uncovers neighbour’s electricity theft causing spike in bills
Quite obviously had no business, but as dishonest people will always exist, my point was plainly to reduce the odds of getting robbed or scammed. Thank you.

New Thai government… what about expats and tourism? : Tim Newton Today - August 25
Nothing will improve if the visa issues remain such a hassle with all the supporting documents required. Not to mention further issues with consulates abroad. A clever and pragmatic compromise would be to grant 90 day stay with no immigration hassle or question on the visa waiver that is currently only 30 days. (let's dream) TM30 issues are also a pain in the neck and should be able to be done online for all as currently only businesses/home renters can do so online (unless i am mistaken).

Never will understand why the meter and connections are not individually installed within the owners premises and with no access to neighbours.

Why so many chinese cars MG cars ? do people only care to buy something cheap, whatever is the quality ?
Quite a few consumers in Europe and surely globally, need to buy prestige and respect, with a top brand European car. The quality aspect comes only on part 2 or 3 of the choice. This is one of the causes of high household debt that leads to individual bankrupcy. No to mention that in many parts of the world it's not always smart to display a 100'000 $ car in the driveway for obvious safety reasons.

Pizza by the Slice in Bangkok
A good idea to offer customer a choice of the full pot belly portions or smaller half portions. It will help fight obesity and related issues by eating unhealthy food with high levels of fat. As they say, you can eat or drink anything...provided with moderation. Don't drink or eat yourself to death as there a still many wonderful soapys to visit in life ????

Is a work permit application enough to hire a Burmese Domestic Helper in Thailand?
I would be more concerned in hiring a Burmese or any other Thai helper into my home that I do not know or who has not been recommended by a reliable 3rd party.

Why so many chinese cars MG cars ? do people only care to buy something cheap, whatever is the quality ?
Practically everything now comes from China obvisously. Apple has stuff assembled in China but the question if you kindly allow me and that I may ask myself, is can everybody affort the latest iphone or MacBook pro etc ? Is it worth getting into absurd debt just by ego and to keep un with the Jones or next door Somchai ? Same for the cars. If one cannot affort the latest Merci full options at 150'000 $, they should neverthelss be able to have acces to the latest tech through cheaper versions of Chinese or asian models that have nothing to envy with their german cousins. Let's not forget all the fun being made many years ago against the Made in Japan or Made in Korea vehicles that carried funny unknown names as Hyundai, Toyota or Kia..

Of course, all the top engineered european or US cars solely and only have 100% of their components Made in Europe or the US and of course absolutely no micro semiconductors from Taiwan or China. ????..sure..sure..why not...

German cars are no better with all their cheating in the Diselgate scandals.

Obviously it will be proportionate to the brand, it's initial cost, regarding it's resale value. But I may look at maintenance costs spent between the Merk and the MG. (that is if the cars were properly maintained ). Another criteria could be if it's petrol or electric and what the service and maintenance could cost to the new owner ? Things are in a transition now and could redifine resale criteria in the future depending on the motorisation of the car rather then the brand ? one just cannot say.

Thailand’s exports drop for 7 straight months, 5.5% year-on-year
Not only in Thailand. Major economic slowdown in Europe and the west within the nations who gave in to the US sanctions against Russia. However the american sanctions have a knock off effect globally, causing a major slowdown in most economies. Add the Chinese crisis that enhances the problem, and it leads to a world with people basically having or wanting to spend less money out of doubt or due to lack of demand that leads to slower production-sales and exports...
