I agree. I find it quite tiresome that as soon as the word "gay" is mentioned the haters invariably start oozing out of the woodwork. It makes you wonder why they are so obsessed with the subject.

 

I once read the following possible explanation: "Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies." If that is true it certainly explains a lot.

It just gets sillier with every response.

That's not a personal attack but I fail to see any logic here, more like she said he said and so it goes, on and on. 

So tell me please, do the GLBTbacon and mayo set want to take over the world?

For what's its worth, be my guest. 

Best time of the year. 

No fan at night or most days for that matter. 

Korat area.

This whole debate reminds me of the need for three separate toilet allocations in public ablution facilities. Male, Female and Handicap.

Life, get on with it, or not. 

No time for sooks. 

"For example, in 1979, Deng Xiaoping visited America to meet Pres. Clinton. He was the People's Republic of China chairman from December 1978 to November 1989."

I think Bill Clinton was Pres from 1993 to 2001 Must have been a typo???

All good but I will still carry one in my pocket when out and about.

Dirty Thais and filthy foreign folk are still out there. 555

The most amazing thing with the purchase of that land is that I was made a co-signatory to any future transactions on that deed, mortgage etc. I thought that extraordinary.

Thai government does not SELL Sor Por Por Kor land. It really has no way of using its position to sell land. And when it does allocate land to poor people the first thing those poor people do is sell off what they've been given. And the cycle begins again.

Ok that land was given as a grant, what I meant to say was that if the Government ever wanted to take that land away by charging the recipients or otherwise taxing the people then yes there would be strife. Anyway back to the OP 200000 baht for 5 rai, with water on about 1/4 rai, good size dam. My house block  1/4 rai with power and water 100000 and I had to demolish the old house that was built on the block.

Means nothing. It only registers the Thais living at the address registered in it.

Well no actually. What the Blue states is the actual block number allotted for a dwelling approved by the Tambon, and the the residents thereof. Slate me if I am wrong but that is how I perceive things. And of course I, being a foreigner am not included in said Tabian Bahn.

No understand.

Mate if the Govt wants to sell you Sor bor core land which was granted to poor families then yes there would be major problems, civil unrest for sure. I am not an expert in the Thai land title system but I studied Land economics in Australia for many years and I think the Law of ownership here is fairly solid. Oh but not when it comes to beach front and National Parks. Name your poison.

But you will care when someone comes knocking on your door saying 'this is my land. Get off.' If you ain't got the right documents then it's court proceedings and a money loss for you. Either way.

No I will just walk. Mate we have the blue book and it was Mums land to start with, you have your problems I have mine but really life here is simple so long as you do not think too much.  Now if the Govt decides to get into the land caper then yer, thats a whole new ball game. Lets hope that these stupid powers that be stay around for awhile, 55555

I think what you say in general is true but there are many people, Thais and foreigners who have built homes on such land and although in principle a risk, no one has heard of anyone who has been asked to knock it down as a result. In fact, in many of the villages are sois full of properties that do not have Chanotes and the new building still continues. 
 

Currently there seems to be some kind of program where people are able to upgrade their land to Chanote  status and there have been queues of villagers turning up to meet the local chief or another official to submit their paperwork to progress to the next phase. Obviously this may not be the policy everywhere and may not come to fruition, but the locals seem optimistic. 

Yes our house block in the village would be in this category. The village is designated as 5 so everyone is in the same boat, not a chanote between us. I did enquire at the land office but all I got was a "think too much" her house so I do not care much anyway.

Three years ago Sor kor two ( black flying chook on on the deed.) 5 rai for 200000 baht but this is rice land. The Lady at the land office said something about not develop so who knows. Queer buggers.

Somehow I much doubt that this was the initial intention for the bulk of the farangs moving to Thailand. They were dreaming in the home countries to come here and support extended families in the sticks and so on? By the time they have figured what's going on, they were too much invested to have other choices.

And fair enough.

People Wai to me here and I wave it of. I do not Wai,  a wave is as good as a wink.

I almost wish I hadn't started the topic. What was a very upsetting time has actually been made worse by the fact that no-one responded for a week and then you all came in 3 days after the dog died. Everything that happened is on my conscience but to be honest I knew the answer to mu own question anyway. The vet I go to saved a number of my dogs from Parvo, and I have a reasonable opinion of him, but since then he often palms me off on to the young female vet. She butchered my male dog's ear and I guess I was dubious that the good vet would do the operation as he obviously makes more money off his Thai clients with their poodles and toy dogs.

As a dog lover I hold with your views. Treatment for minor problems is fine but intervention in the case of tumors. compound fractures, etc in older animals are often a stop gap measure and does not necessarily relate to their previously happy wellbeing.

Why subject an animal to a substandard life, same for humans, when a quiet, gentle route would be so much easer for patient and loving carers.

Just a shame that there was little you could have done but it is done now. 

I have a Bison 115 cc, Honda copy engine and after adjusting the spark plug, cleaning the fuel system, tank, hose and carbie it works OK. Plastic base is a problem but it does the job now that I only mow a flat lawn. 6500 baht from Global House but I would never purchase another Bison, anything.
