  1. TBH you can import anything but if people don't buy it then you won't make money. If Chinese products are selling this is just competition. Thailand just hasn't focused on manufacturing, so this is coming back to bite them as China is oriented forward making lots of cheap products
  2. I guess all places that can't make revenue from anything except tourism must feel some regret when their land prices go up.
  3. I honestly don't see much difference. Still tight and brown. Popular with the LGBT crowd.
  4. Really, when people arrive at the legal age to drink, they don't look at the newspaper or Facebook to decide on the beer they want.
  5. I don't see any words on the can saying it is beer. However I would have thought the MP would be able to show his pride in a local product.
  6. Chocolate Ville is photogenic and near Bangkok (look on google maps). Also, maybe spend a night at Mustang Blu, near Hualamphong Station. Also very photogenic.
  7. I think the taxman sees anything called "beer" as taxable, alcohol or not.
  8. It would appear that the people who really need the money will still receive it. Not sure what the threshold for an income would be or how insufficient income is calculated, but anyone with a job may not be desperate for the money..
  9. As a previous attempt in 2011 by Yingluck Shinawatra to include her brother in an amnesty ended in tears, I am not sure whether they seriously believe people will welcome moves to bring him back now.
  10. So who will be the republican nominee if Trump goes to prison? Surely it can't be DeSantis by default?
  11. Whatever you pay her she will go to visit her "brother" now and then until you find out he isn't.
  12. Of you own a condo with a spare room you can pay for a carer to stay, I suppose.
  13. It looks like Satan has an undeserved bad reputation. He only killed 10 people in the Bible, versus God's 2 million plus. And he only punishes bad people. I can't think who the article means by Satan - maybe Māra?
  14. While not being sold over the counter as many seem to think, it will help some people. I remember that Cary Grant used to take LSD to deal with his issues under the care of a therapist.
  15. Just thought i should add, i was told by the people that do our corporate liaison with immigration that if you have a re entry permit recently in the old passport they will add it to the first page of the new passport. Don't ask me why...
  16. The most diligent caretaker government in history. Make the deals, take the kickback, and saddle the next government with billions in debt.
  17. Still waiting for the ("they need us more than we need them") predictions that the EU would break up to come true. http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN02784/assets/f0c1e22b-187c-447b-a6f6-d86cab49a4bc.png https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  18. Well, at least they admitted they have no clear and damning evidence on the president,.
  19. All heads of the FBI have historically been Republicans, the tough-on-crime guys. Why wouldn't they investigate crime?
  20. I wrote an email to the office in Bangkok [email protected] and told them i wanted an appointment on one of 3 days. I said i prefer 9am. They replied in 30 minutes. I can't say the Chiang Mai office is the same though. Good luck.
  21. Please don't give Thailand something that goes bang.
  22. Amazing catch. Wish England had some of these people in the Ashes.
  23. You can request an appointment on the date and time you want and they seem very accommodating.
  24. Not sure what the fuss is about. A cartoon of someone with scars? Mountains/molehills. Just walk past and think, "Look at the costa coffee in that place."
