The comment about California is not relevant to this discussion. Across the world there's thousands of gay / bi / trans etc., men and women who have contributed strongly to th their communities / their countries / to humanity. Let's not forget there's millions of gay / bi etc., men and women who have never revealed in any way their sexual prefences and they they don't need to.

Jesus Christ wasn't an aussie, for a good reason, JC never existed.

This comment is aimed the earlier poster khunhxxxxxxx. Perhaps you could wait a bit (or a long time) until there's total clarity and understanding of this subject. In the meantime please take a long holiday in antarctica on a one way ticket and no internet connection.

He'll invent another subject to upset folks.

Check around apartment blocks in Bkk and other places /cities / countries you'll find plenty of macho western and Thai gay, local men living with girlie ladyboy bf's. That's life.

A sweet girlie one of a tough hard titting tom with her breasts taed down to try to look flat and hide she's a female?

Extra smooth refined??

That's at the top of the photo out of the photo frame.

Will this be another version of false advertsng or even lies?

mucky lucky sucky duck f...y droopy ...

Boring...

Oive oil for lubricant?

Some are exempt fro this 'category'.

Really.

Gays are everywhere, every country, some obvous, many not.

Perhaps how 'floral' his extravert behaviors are might also be relevant.

Well my Thai daughter in law has an aunt whose birth was never registered (parts of the family lived in a very remote village in the mountains in Chaiyaphum). We offered to take aunty on a trip to Singapore. She had no passsport. My Thai son and his Thai wife took her to the Thai passport office in Chiang mai. CM passport staff were very helpful; they told my son and his wife to take her to a regional amphur office in Chaiyaphum. They did that; the staff said they would have to create a document which had an estimated year of birth but no attempt to guess day and month details. Son and wife and aunty went back later same day andd got the document (cost 40Baht). They took the new document to the CM passport office and they did issue her with a passport showing only yeara of birth (the day/month showing as XX/XX). The CM passport supvr aslomentioned athat a passport with just year was generally accepted in Asian countries but they didn't know about other regions/countries. They all went to Singapore. Aunty terrfified that she would be jailed or whatever and she speaks zero english. Son went first at the S'pore arrivals passport desk, then aunty. S'pore p'port man was polite and called his supvr. They asked my son some questions and were very polite to Aunty. Quickly they stamped her in. Supvr mentioned that once she's successfully done the first arrival it would automatically be acepted on arrival in the future and he wrote a short note in her p'port. Two years later a big family group went to S'pre. All the other had 'normal' passports. Aunty stepped up, the officer quickly read the short note on her passport from the first arrival then quickly stamped her in p'port man said 'chern crrap' with a big smile.

Oh really, political persecution. So you believe he's not actually broken any laws?

Not so sure about that, seems to me many are well aware of many laws and the good reasons for those laws and know that breaking those laws should bring serious punishment. Or are Americans really that uninformed and that dumb?

Cost of circumcision depends what country - in the Philippines it's very often very cheap and othen performed by a local uqualified 'aunty' on the kitchen table. Cost - maybe US$5 or similar. It's big business - Phils men are not cut at birth, but it is done late teens, the aesthetic result is often a mess leaving loose skin.

In my view what's still unexplained is money coming into Thailand from abroad which is a state pension entitledment from the home country. Further, in some countries state pensions are specifically / totally exempt from tax. But I'm guessing that doesn't automatically mean these funds are not subject to Thai personal taxation and regardless of any double tax agreement.

'System', what does that mean?

However Maharaj (and I guess that includes Suan Doc hospital), are available as the 'preferred' / 'nominated' hospital for Thailand Social Security Fund members.

There's plenty of good English spoken at all the facilities in this group: Maharaj, Suan Doc, Siripat. And they cooperate well.

At least 3 items that are missing from these discussions / comments: - Are basic offshore state pensions subject to Thai personal tax? - What's the threshold income amount which requires annual reporting and possibly payment of Thai personal tax on offshore state pensions received into Thailand? - Does a double tax agreement with the country of origin of the pension have any affect (realizing of course that the laws of the sending country cannot be imposed by or on the Thai legal system/processes)?
