Thai teachers pierce lips of 36 kids over gum mischief

If they did that to my child i would give them something a bit more serious than a pierced lip. Imbeciles -
I have been in Thailand for 8 years and am registered to vote. In the 2019 election i received my ballot paper on the day of the election, too late to send back. When i contacted them to complain they said they are only allowed to send out the ballot papers 10 days before the election. Unless they change this rule you still can't vote.

After retirement, what? - for a Thai national
Geordieabroad replied to ravip's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My wife worked from age 20 till she was made redundant in 2021 aged 51 due to covid. She was on a decent salary for 20 years and then an excellent salary for the next 11 years as branch manager for a Japanese company at Laem Chabang. She will receive her Thai state pension in 2 years time, a total of 4,000 baht per month for 31 years continuous work, pathetic -

Pattaya Teenagers Vandalize Chak Nok Public Park
Geordieabroad replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I live on route 36 just outside Pattaya, 7 nights a week the motorbike racing starts at around 8pm and continues into the early hours. Route 36 is a major road, but the cops don't know it's happening???? -
forget about voting in a UK election if you live in Thailand. I registered for a postal vote in the last election, my ballot paper arrived at my Thai address on the actual day of the election. I phoned the relevant number in the UK to complain and they told me they can't send out ballot papers to overseas addresses till 10 days before the election. So unless an envelope can get from UK - Thailand - UK in 10 days you've got no chance
