Warning bell for me was finding out that apparently the companies that make them are immune from prosecution. If they are so safe the people that make them should be prepared to take responsibility for their safety.

all you need to know......rushed out without time to test,of course they need immunity from prosecution,which brings  usto a decision "to vaccinate or not"

I try this on the banking board.

Do I get free money for life too?

well you never know you're luck in the big city.But i met an older guy in pattaya,running out of money;his lady owned a laundromat,loved him inspite of his finances and was happy to care of him,this story was told to me by her.So there's always a nice story to go with the "horror's"

Wow......genuinely gutted for you....at the end of the day you simply cannot trust anyone....sad.

and that is the truth.So many western guys have been ripped of by thai partners.It has been said that Scots can peel an orange inside their pocket,and that's how we have to e here in LOS.

My last 2 long term girlfriends fit into that category and were not interested in going to live in Australia or it could be they were interested but just not going with me!

yes living overseas is not for everyone,they miss the family and thai food,yet there are thousands living in australia,also in norway and europe.They have a better life financially and have no intention of returning to the land of smiles.

over half a million followers in 2 days tells that the young are fed up with their politicians and "rich clique"......everything is possible and they should be encouraged.

In australia i still think it's possible to apply and get a student visa for the under 30's ,studying english and the visa allows them to work.Need money of course to start off so not everyone will be in a position to do this.The weather is good,the streets are clean,and there are always jobs.

only thing to do is call them.Ask why are you requesting this? I am retired,I dont work,so why would i have a thai tax number.

Aussie banks are a pain in the <deleted>,all of them.

Thai tax residency and is demanding my Thai TIN, which I don't have.

So are you working in tailand?

So you are now resident oversees for tax purposes?And the aussie bank automatically taxes any income from your accounts at 10%...am i correct?....so yes why would westpac want any other details?do they think you are gainfully employed in thailand?

I have loaned money to Thais up to 200,000 b.  Always gotten it back.

Never loan out more then you can afford to lose.

Amen.

fully assimulating would be an impossible task............you'd need things in common.If through work for example you mixed with thais who had lived and worked in the west,spoke your language you'd have much in common,but if you lived in a totally thai city or village it would be difficult to find things in common.

And to be honest, dare I say it, I'm actually starting to miss the foreign tourists..

Wait, did I actually say that? ???? 

yes,if living in a tourist area it must be depressing to see everything closed.

Ever visited NZ? We don't tip anyone. Perhaps some uninformed tourists might do so, but it's not normal.

don't you think that's because the wages are relatively high for the work they perform?....same in australia.

was it the only change he had? did he deliberately tear it and leave it out of spite? we will never know.But yes be extra generous in these difficult times.What goes round comes round,karma has a way of balancing things up.

1 level house good construction work on 10,000-11,000 baht per square metre.find a reputable builder,do a contract with payments as you go.

I had a deep well put in about 3 years ago.They went down 30 metres and the water came up full of grit and muck.Went down to 50 metres and the water came up clear.took 6 hours.No permission from the authorities was required.
