Great opportunities to invest coming up for sure once we hit bottom.

True, but how do you know when it has hit the bottom?

Thais are habitual gamblers. Don't believe the stories you hear. 99% of gamblers are losers.

Good description of the stock market..... educated gambling

It would've surprised me as they have done their best to avoid any contact with British Citizens over the past few years.

Will they now use the Corona Virus a an additional excuse to avoid giving us service?

What is it about Thai thinking that drives them to complicate the mundane?

It is first necessary to have a brain in order to think

if you get sick while you are here you are stuck no flight out.

Hardly a hardship, there are worse places to be stuck. Some would give their right nut to be quarantined in Nana Plaza or Pattaya Soi 6. Though making love wearing a Hazmat suit may prove tricky.

In view of what is going down worldwide, I do not believe the Thai figures for number infected.

Waitaya has been accused of killing up to 12 cats. He will be sent to court, and if found guilty he faces a maximum of two years in jail and a 40,000 baht fine.

Wataya maintains his innocence, saying that these cats were untrained and difficult to care for, and that had to use violence to keep them orderly. He said that he had been “stressed and unable to control himself.”

Obviously mentally ill. I hope they lock him up permanently in a mental institution.

The cats come to your garden attracted by the fish pond. But some cat hating local thinks they are your cats and so sent you a message.

Is the problem caused by the cats or does someone have a grievance against you for other reasons.

CCTV and a Police report would be a good idea as this may not be the end of the matter.

There are no secrets in Thailand, your Thai neighbours likely know who did this.

OP. What is OCD? Why are you too lazy to print the words??

Why are you too lazy to Google it?

I have an argument going on right now over my house in the UK which had been rented out to a tenant. I paid an agency to fully manage the property but they failed to carry out maintenance as requested by the tenant. The agent also failed to inform me of the problems. First thing I knew was when I got a message the tenant was moving out due to lack of maintenance.

Now tenant does not want to pay for repairs or cleaning or maintenance and agent is being evasive. Deposit was supposed to be in a tenancy deposit scheme, but it appears the agency has that.

No one wants to be responsible.... (sounds just like Thailand).

How did the Council manage to do the work without your permission?

Council tax is usually the tenants responsibility so it would be in his name. Therefore Council may have assumed he was the owner.

the official policy regarding compulsory quarantine appeared to have changed once more, with officials saying no compulsory quarantine order was in place. 

Shambolic reversal only goes to prove someone does not know what they are doing.

The news comes as the number of coronavirus infections in Thailand has remained relatively low, at a time when the number of infections reported by other countries have surged.

Is there something they are not telling us? Nah, nothing to see here.

make sure they pay attention to the direction of rotation arrow on the sidewall or they might put them on backwards.

Many tyres are directional and have a bloody great arrow pointing direction of rotation. You would not think a tyre shop could fit the tyre the wrong way around but TiT! The other dangerous thing Thais do is fit the wrong size tyre for the wheel..... Duh, it hurts my brain.
