  1. Are you sure about that or just your assumption?
  2. But maybe there's some red tape issue stopping the kids getting school meals, you don't know (and I don't know). I repeat my earlier comment.
  3. I rather doubt you know the full circumstances so you're way too quick to state who should be prosecuted.
  4. Been in and out of that airport about 8 visits per year for last 10 years. Everything always worked perfectly. First time ever was in1969, some 56 years ago, when I arrived on a QANTAS charter flight to start my compulsory military service in Sth. Vn. The airport was of course very different then. I recall the QANTAS flight landing and the all male flight stewards, all looking like they were about to die, standing by at every exit door to get the doors open as fast as possible and get all the arriving soldier passengers off the aircraft as quickly as possible and the get the returning soldiers, all in a line at the bottom of the stairs onto the aircraft as quickly as possible. We watched as we eating our food provided in paper bags, as soon as the last returning soldier went on board the aircraft doors were very quickly closed, stairs pulled away quickly and aircraft moved off. I returned to Australia via Darwin on an Australian Air Force C130 transport.
  5. "no need to cut the power, just turn the light switch off." I suspect you're assuming that the wiring in your condo / house is done to a fixed standard. I wouldn't assume that. Some years back a foreign friend bought an expensive house in a new village just outside Pattaya. The foreigner was a licensed electrician from Germany. One day he started to watch the Myanmar workers installing the electrics, downlights, power points, 3 phase etc. After 30 minutes he told the supervisor to tell the workers to stop. He had noted that they weren't fitting anything to any standard / any colour code etc. Foreigner instructed that they uninstall all that had been done and the German electrician installed everything himself, after seriously inspecting the main fuse / control box and after studying the colour coding of the wires etc. Took him 2 days. He knew that he was breaking the law re work permit etc., and he realized a worker / the supervisor / the developer might intervene or might bring a gov't labour official to see what he was doing. Lucking nobody intervened.
  6. I don't see Carney as weak, I do see him as well focused and very calm.
  7. Why does anybody listen to anything trump says. The post above displays totally that he just crazy and dangerous.
  8. As long as nobody tries to install a US style democracy, which now has much negative baggage and very little credibility, the US democracy 'system' is totally corrupt, full of massive amounts of vote buying and votes gained through big cronyism. Plus the cap on it all: Whoever spends the most on electioneering is 99% sure to be the next president. Not what real democracy is all about. In fact the US democracy system needs a major overhaul, it needs to adopt some of the praised credibility points found in the systems used by numerous other countries.
  9. Champion word salad, no meaning, just a mess of words, a word puzzle.
  10. And those world leaders laugh at trump, the day is not far off when they will all just ignore trump.
  11. Some uneducated, very naive parents are convinced by procurers that it's all OK, goof job as a waitress, clothes provided, good food, cash salary and more. Many of these parents have never been more than a few kilometers away from the village where they were born and have zero knowledge of the world.
  12. "Putin speaks to me; he doesn't speak to anybody else..." Donnie, your a joke, everything you say is just a joke.
  13. Message mentions "...learning differences..." Does that really mean 'learning difficulties'?
  14. "...Also affects what happens to the account if one of the party dies." How does that work?
  15. Well there's a specific and meaningful very informative post.
  16. Here's an example; I conducted business lectures at a high profile uni in Bkk for several years. The faculty of sociology shared the same professors lounge / lunch room etc. We often sat with the sociology professors for lunch and at times they shared some comments about their latest research. Some of their comments were sad and disturbing. e.g. they spoke to children living upcountry with grandma and many time children said things like 'Yes I have a mother but I haven't seen her for a long time and I forget what she looks like'.
  17. But maybe that person has big money in bank account and only keeps cash small change in their wallets, and has large amounts of money in bank accounts and has many very valuable assets in houses, land etc. So how will 'forfeiting the contents of their wallet' have any impact?
  18. With K Bank, for a joint savings account, they issue ONE debit card only.
  19. Has this answered the actual question? Seems to me the question is can the foreigner open a joint account with the name of the foreigner named first and the wife named second in regard to the name of the account holder? I guess that means right now. I have several joint savings accounts with K Bank, my name first then the name of my adult Thai son. But all were open 10 - 15 years ago, maybe the regulations have changed. As you might expect both myself and my son had to be present with proof of ID to open the account and we were told that for any changes to be made to the account we would both need to be present with ID.
  20. Agree. Could also be a week-end only program - classes all day Sat and Sun.
