  1. In every unconfortable situation in a couple, there is alway a bit of both at fault...well not always..but let's say very often,

     

    Maybe it's too costly for him to divorce and he may loose it all ?

     

    Or maybe she owns the house back home ?

     

    Or maybe the whole story is just another huge fake initiated by the medias ?

     

    Perhaps he is sending money to a thai gay guy and obviously in the deep catholic community with church and all,  back home, it's sort of embarassing to admit, as they have not been "woked" yet ?

  2. Please, please,,,do not come to Thailand and expect to heal one's past demons from Europe or the west.

     

    If you buy, make it in your name.

    Be worth more alive then dead.

    Never, never give any form of power of attorney, Never even mention in which bank you have your account.

     

    Best of all, with the fine ladies, don't buy or settle long term - always rent in Asia.

     

    The european governments sould warn each of their pensioners on their first pension payment,  regarding the ruthless dynamics aimed at naive western retirees, that can emerge in Asia and in Thailand

  3. Have one running loud and clear for say 8 years I would say, with heavy use of the CPU for music editing and producing.

     

    The Mac Mini is a fine machine and I would take the most powerful one in the market currently  in order to have something up to date for a longer period if you use it for editing any support (music, video etc).

     

    But if it's only to go on the internet with basic use, the standard MacMini should do the job.

    Wow. That's a lot. 

    First 5 paragraphs seem to show a naivete of how governments work. They are biased towards the power, money, and influence - of course there will always be money for the military over citizens needs. 

     

    In the sixth paragraph you don't seem understand international trade or supply and demand. By letting the Chinese refine the gas rather than doing it domestically Russia helps balance it's trade deficit with China. Gas and oil prices were going up after Russia invaded whether it was USA or Martians selling it. 

    I just wish to welcome you ...to ma ignore liste....????

  5. What kind of people travel abroad with no proper health/accident , rent bikes in a country that has the worst death toll on roads....and then complain ?

     

    Full sympathy for the poor girl, no misunderstandings please.

     

    But at one point something should be done as nothing is for free and misfortune does not only hit others. Wish all the best to the girl and her family.

  6. I remember some years ago abord a plane of a world class airline....I saw a hostess prior to landing, stuffing 3 meal dishes in their aluminium packing,  into what seemed to be her handbag.

     

    I also recall that beforehand, just after lunch I asked for a 2nd helping of the curry dish (that is usually always given) but she claimed that none was left....

     

    There are always extra meals on a huge A380 craft and all that remains apparently is taken away by the cabin crew and thus saves them to buy for their own meals on the stop. Not sure on Thai if it is common practice....

  7. Overdeveloppment can also have the opposite effect and chase away visitors if the whole area gets congested.

     

    The typical tourist visitor to Thailand does not have and does not want the NYC resilience such as having to queue up for anything from going to a restaurant or to a "health therapy hottie happy-end massage" parlour.

     

    Another element that can backfire on economy is greed. If operators get greedy and hike the rates, prices etc...tourists are not stupid anymore...Vietnam is the new eldorado just around the corner.
