The only real way to play the game is to have 4 sitting on a bench next to each other.

Personally, I say sawasdi krub to younger people and lower ranking staff. If they wai then I wai back. In Japan, if someone bows I bow back. If an Indian says namaste and puts their palms together i do the same. It's their culture and ît isn't our job to decide if it's good or not.

I seen to remember an article on AN about usufruct agreements. Mine says I can use it for the rest of my life. Neither divorce nor disagreement can change that. I can knock it down and make an orchard and don't need to replace the building like I would in a lease. Even land owned by my spouse passes to me upon her death and i have one year to sell it. Good to have some cash in my old age

How “no-vote censure” can guard against post-election implausibility

There's still time for parties to be dissolved. It's hard to guess. -
Not one global media outlet was ever able to explain how a balloon with no propeller or jet engines was able to guide itself over sensitive targets. The wind at 50,000 feet exceeds 57 MPH and at times reaches 247 MPH. How they were said to "Hover" over sensitive targets shows how the media is able to excite the public with silly news.

Pattaya Pioneers Free Condom Machines Named “Love Bang, Love Safe”
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
This is an excellent idea and about time too. There are still a lot of people with HIV who don't tell their partners. Using condoms can bring down the risk. -
The weird part is historically a policeman gets promoted by paying money gained through corruption. That surely means every police general had to go through this process in order to become a general. So what do they do? They appoint a police general to investigate other policemen and they say all this with a straight face. Couldn't they find an institution like Treasury to investigate tax avoidance?

Cabinet approves tourist fee of 150-300 baht for all foreign tourists
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Most tourists will not even know about this if included in the price of the air ticket. In terms of the overall cost of the holiday, it is nothing. -
Thai hit and run suspect in US flees Chonburi home
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Fortunately, a US judge has allowed a civil case to proceed. US judge, TS Ellis, has said she must face the music, at least in civil court. He ruled... that a lawsuit filed in the US state of Virginia by Dunn's family could go forward. They are claiming wrongful death. On Wednesday, Judge Ellis said the family could also pursue a damage claim against Sacoolas' husband. She was driving his SUV when the collision occurred. Judge Ellis chastised Sacoolas in a court teleconference last month: "Accepting full responsibility doesn't mean you run away." -
Thai hit and run suspect in US flees Chonburi home
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Laws in every country tend to vary but without an extradition warrant it may be hard to get a person unless that person voluntarily returns. An American woman who killed a cyclist in a hit and run in the UK fled the country and has never returned for prosecution, while this Thai woman may never be handed over without a warrant from the US police. -
British police head to Thailand over woman's 2004 Yorkshire Dales death

If she had run off with another guy, why would he report her missing? -
Shocked anyone has a million baht credit on a card. Seems like asking for trouble. Some companies send you a text message when you use your card so you could cancel immediately if something is wrong. i went to Malaysia many years ago and the situation there was so well known the bank called to say they had cancelled my card after returning. A copy could have been used at any time so they said it was better safe than sorry. I agree.

From Brexit to Rejoin - The Inflection Point.
Purdey replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
There were many who thought sovereignty would mean all colored foreigners (as well as white Europeans) would be ejected without the EU to stop it. We are not talking about the sharpest knives in the cupboard. I don't understand why you think racist attacks on Muslims originating from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh after the referendum (there was a huge rise in hate crimes starting from the day after the vote), were not caused by racists who didn't understand or care that those people they attacked were actually British. The news at the time was full of it. I can guess that not many Poles are Muslim. https://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/27/europe/racist-attacks-post-brexit/index.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/brexit-hate-crimes-racism-eu-referendum-vote-attacks-increase-police-figures-official-a7358866.html%3famp https://www.vox.com/2016/6/23/12005814/brexit-eu-referendum-immigrants https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-david-cameron-nigel-farage-council-of-europe-report-racist-violence-intolerance-hate-speech-uk-terrorism-refugee-crisis-a7345166.html https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/20/racism-on-the-rise-since-brexit-vote-nationwide-study-reveals https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/brexit-hate-crime-racism-immigration-eu-referendum-result-what-it-means-eurospectic-areas-a7165056.html?amp https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/eu-referendum-muslims_uk_576e558ce4b08d2c563937ff/ -
