Unless you can send me a link that shows that non Europeans/American s are heavier on the pedo scene in SEA or Thailand then I will maintain that Europeans and Americans overwhelmingly dominate it. Here is another link. Send me yours.

Why argue? The rich and powerful prey on the children of the weak and poor. But some Thais are rich too.

.......but in this case, as they have taken DNA I would assume that they have samples to compare it with, in which case that should go a long way towards proving their guilt or innocence, as would finding images on their phones.

Yes they take one sample of your toenail, and one from your fingernail. If they match you're done.

This smile makes me feel uneasy. I just can't get it, when I am peed off I look angry. Will never be able to get Thai citizenship.

I have a THB account with HSBC in HK. No problems.

Just a couple of questions:

A) When did you open it? You probably know that, a few years ago, HSBC was accused of facilitating tax evasion and became selective  when opening new accounts.

 Would they bother opening accounts for non business small customers? In Singapore the only bank that looked interested when I moved to Thailand required a USD 250000 deposit. For me this was putting all my eggs into the same basket. Stayed with UBS.

Thanks

No, that's the rule for taxable income.

Obvious? I've never studied it closely but as far as I know pensions are exempt from income tax in Thailand.

Nope, must not been transferred to Thailand in the year they are earned. Otherwise the taxman could, technically, collect income tax. For now they put this into the "too difficult basket". But the wise keep a one year buffer in an account outside Thailand. This has been discussed on several other threads. For now I'd love to find where I could open a THB account outside of Thailand

With the Thai Baht going up, I may have to get my UN pension calculated and paid at a fixed rate under the so called "two track system". For obvious Thai Income tax reasons I would have to get UNJSPF to make THB payments into a THB account based outside of Thailand.

Would anyone know if this is possible in places such as Singapore or Hong Kong? I am pretty sure it is if you run large amounts through their systems, but in my case we would speak of a modest monthly payment of THB 220000.

a funny approach...... well in that case perhaps the married ones are luckier where we live here in Europe, as a married pensionner gets more then a single....

The Social security in Australia is quite different from those existing in Europe. The state provides only the bare minimum to prevent people from becoming destitute if they are too old for working, lose their jobs or are disabled. If you have assets or income (from superannuation for instance)  your state pension will be reduced. There are of course ways (tax incentives) to plan for retirement, good employers can provide good superannuation schemes.

I quite like it... And many Australians take pride in not being a burden for their country.

I have heard of this before,....why do certain countries reduce the pension once married ?

Pretty obvious to me; you need less money for two people under the same roof, than for two people living alone.

It is better than before but would not equate with lightning even with grease.  But at least now it is under a second delay for response on a Singapore connection.   Now if only it can keep its running shoes on and not switch to high heels in a few minutes or hours.  

You stay in Singapore? Or VPN through Singapore?

Hmmmhh... In Koh Tao only money can help, I am afraid. Amount depends on the kind of incrimination, drugs would be the worst.

I always rely on the "Voulais vous, vous couchet" etc.

Hmmmhhh.. More like "Voulez-vous coucher (avec moi) ". Guess you have misspelled it to prevent the Thaivisa automatic deletion of foreign languages.

Apologies for the round brackets, can't find the square ones on a <deleted> Mac keyboard, back to plebeian Windows and matching HW soon.

so being old and skinny he have the right to attempt to kill a  family with a machete , but when he get sucker punched it makes you feel sad ?  ok....

Quite right, he used two lethal weapons against the fat Thai, a machete and his car. I would have been a lot more agitated then Fatso, had I been at the receiving end. The Aussie would be in big trouble (sitting a prison term) in any country of the world. It is going to happen here, and the little girl won't see much of her dad. 100% his doing.

Negligence by police possibly!

 

The guilty one should also have been down and cuffed immediately.

The policeman was on his own, he listen to the fat Thai first, and then heard what the Aussie had to say. How could he know whom to handcuff in the absence of any evidence. Interestingly the fat Thai idiot loses his nerve and sucker punches the Aussie while the Bib gets his version. 

The only problem here is that Bibs work in isolation, had it been a patrol of 2 or 3 officers,  the sucker punch part of the story wouldn't have happened.

I am a guest here, and respect whatever Thailand's leaders decide.    

So “respect” = “shut up”? Fair enough. But I tend to lecture my wife on what Democracy looks like... In a Democracy. She nods.

Who wants to work for this kind of salary ? I didn't know it was that bad here , I left my last job, applications architect, with a net (after, tax, pension, health & life deductions) of THB 450000....

My pension is only half of that as I contributed only 23 years.

I get a bit pissed off when these word processing apps change what is actually said. Very good proof reading is needed but even I don't do it enough. 

My reference was to the difference between feminine and feminist. Major difference I think.

 

Sorry for the poor original post.

No worries.. she'll be right!

Actually in some cases, it is rather funny.  Some of them bring their women, who don't sit with us and look on rather benignly whilst hubby/bf and I sit for some hours drinking and talking.

I you came  to Issan you'd find a great many situations like that. As far as I am concerned I am only going out for lunch or dinner with my wife and two daughters. I love it, she does too, and it gives her a lot face, more than a 4 million bahts BMW.

On my rare trips to Bumrungrad I may have little outings nearby though.
