  1. No Thais working in Hong Kong then?
  2. Maybe the word "arrested" is incorrect. Normally, overstayers are pulled aside and fined, then let go (I always thought).
  3. Fair comment. I do know a few Indian billionaires personally and they would never stay in an Airbnb though.
  4. No Muslim comments that Allah had killed him as punishment I see.
  5. So, he did or didn't pass the secrets to a foreign power? Or he shared them with Americans who were not in the government? I suppose we will know eventually.
  6. So, maybe someone can comment - will this slow down spending by local consumers by raising prices, leading to more inflation? It isn't like VAT will go back to help people but more likely buy more aircraft carriers and submarines.
  7. Thanks. Do Indians get 30 day vacations normally? Most Thais get 1-2 weeks.
  8. The tax base in Thailand is incredibly small. Perhaps registering everyone isn't such a bad idea. Lots of Benzes around. I know someone who has a good business but "negotiates" an amount whenever a tax man comes around. No one wants to pay unless you teach them they are not exempt.
  9. One earthquake does not a climate change make. One earthquake does not a climate change make. One earthquake does not a climate change make.
  10. "Celebate ecclesiastics" are two words that should never go together.
  11. If it is brought in for industrial use by manufacturers and repurposed by rapists, what's the plan? Close factories down?
  12. I had a browser and found out: The Hotel Act of 2004, specifies that it is illegal to operate a hotel business without a license. But it seems homes can be rented out under some circumstances, so partially right
  13. Hard to believe all had the same strong body odor. What on earth happened on that plane?
  14. I thought Airbnb was illegal here? I may have missed some news. I suppose if they bring in the tourist dollars it doesn't matter.
  15. Every 10 years this happens and no one changes it because of the money prostitution earns.
  16. If COVID-19 is worse than the flu then it is worth some caution.
  17. Not sure if Starmer is the right leader, but hope Labour will support the NHS and the poor (no more food banks!). Britain needs a government focused on people.
  18. When an actor is to drive a car, should he be doing a complete mechanical check in advance - brakes, steering and so on - or does he get in and drive? Is he the person paid to check the vehicle's safety?
  19. I find it hard to dump a whole load of diverse people into one racially profiled group. There are good and bad in every society. I do hope the citizens who are enfranchised do vote and kick out those who want to hurt their democracy.
