    For historical reasons so the meter can be accessed and read without needing access to the property. But newer readers can transmit their data so it would be possible. But the person in question here anyways had no business connecting their cable on the electricity pole which is government property.

    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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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 ????

    China makes everything for everyone, but, they're maybe making or assembling others designed stuff, big difference......

     

    Isn't Apple stuff assembled in China...

    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..

    Makes me wonder..

    ..if you buy a Mercedes and sell it after 5 years are you going to lose more money than if you buy a MG and sell it after 5 years? 

    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.

  6. Went to the wrong place.

     

    With all respect, his top government should have visited the immigration offices, immigration counters at major airports and spoken via video to the consulates abroad.

     

    Stop harassing the foreigners on visa issues and inventing new paperwork or rules.

    Stop taking months to deliver evisas,

    Grant 90 day hassle free,   visa waiver to the current selected beneficiairies,  instead of 30 days,

    Make the 90 day report online more smooth and less often offline.

    Have small immigration booths all over the town that handle all the wonderful progressive TM's.

     

    And for myself...dream on ????
