    Why is this considered news, and why is it considered bad news, and why is the biggest joke involved?

     

    It just sounds like Chinese men looking for Thai women, people from all over the world look for Thai women. Are Chinese men worse than others? What's the issue here, I thought that Thailand was supposedly in love with China? 

    Agreed, the article is very light on explaining why senior plod needs to get involved.

    Very soon I'll need to convert and T/T to Oz a very large sums of THB to AUD, the rate i get from my bank at the moment is an

    abysmal one: 24.056 THB to 1 AUD, ( btw, converting the other way around will only get you 22 THB to 1 AUD, someone is making a killing here)

    handling cash with places like super rich not feasible as the amount is too large to carry around,

    which financial institution can give me a better rate?

    I use a UK regulated currency broker for all major transactions...  You send them one currency and they send onwards the desired currency.  You can book the rate online or by phone (you get an assigned broker).  Excellent excellent rates I've saved thousands over the years.

    Let me know if this is the kind of thing you're interested in, I'll pm you info.

    After a few days, you're prob past the phase where antibiotics would help. Drink electrolytes and sleep a lot.

     

    Tell us about the curry. In England, I had the super-hot Phaal Curry. Def. a colon blaster. Invented in Bradford, I think.

     

     

    I love Prawn Phaal...  Used to get it in an 'Indian' restaurant in Reading UK, run by Nepalese. Mmmmm

    The exchange rate does not help. This Country is expensive to holiday in now compared to several years ago. I am not an economist so can someone please explain how the loss of millions upon millions of foreign money coming into the Country from international tourists, ( Once a large part of GDP), can be made up by locals who are only circulating money already here?

    Domestic consumer spending is a significant part of GDP in every country.  For example, in USA it's about 70%.

    Here's an idea...

     

    The UAE has a DTA with Thailand.  If you are economically active you could use a UAE company to pay yourself income.  Taxed - at 0% in UAE.

    Then legit bring funds to Thailand as tax-paid.

     

     

     

    Another option possibly is to use the foreign company to pay you returnable 'loans' that dont count as income.

  7. Don't worry about travelling with all your Vitamins and supplements.. I always do.

     

    Many responses to the OP offer opinions on vitamins rather than helpfully addressing the question... 🤔

    Open your mind and heart... she is isolated... like it or not there are many people who when taken away from their natural surroundings and what they know about concerning life who cannot cope and they withdraw into a shell... and it doesn't sound like you have done much in supporting the fact that that is exactly what you have done to her... it's all about what you want... how old are you...12

    Yes she sounds like she could be depressed and needs some help.
