  1. Maybe now moved on to Thermae heaven.
  2. More: Just after the event In a media interview she sated that it was impossible for the building to have come down from an earthquake because all buildings in Thailand are designed and build to be earthquake proof.
  3. and / or attracts big export tariffs.
  4. My guess is that many folks will be curious about this question. Nothing wrong with learning, may be useful for the future for some folks.
  5. You didn't list 'getting information re shopping'.
  6. The mother of all jokes... America has changed enormously, no long exceptional, now has a leader who is convicted felon, a conman, a serial liar and centers everything on his massive ego, regardless of showing any leadership re law, values or morals.
  7. Do the new regulations mention 'qualified to install', and 'regular inspection' and 'maintenance' protocols?
  8. Perhaps you should check: - Does the job application say 'expected salary per year or per month' ? In Thailand 'per month' is the usual way this is expressed.
  9. Plus, is there are check for proof of any details enclosed?
  10. OIC, maybe vendors or clerks have special permission to do this. How quaint.
  11. Never experienced what you're saying and doubt that I will. Thai folks don't change things because of farangs.
  12. You do it your way / I'll do it my way and occasionally use 'ignore'.
  13. I'm not looking for 'happiness and fulfillment' from using this forum. But there is some element of these items. It is what it is: some good information and sharing and lots of total crap. A good point is the ability to easily ignore members who submit crap and even insults. Just put them on ignore.
  14. Keep in mind that in Thailand there's strong cultural / behavioral rules that indicate 'low class' and 'hi-so class'. For some activities many would not wear shorts (which may actually be more comfortable in regard to the weather) because that would be seen as 'low class', which is to be avoided at all cost'.
  15. ...and there's plenty of very capable designers / manufacturers of quality innovative smart phones in China / Korea.
  16. And the US still not commenting on / contributing to the recovery in the serious Myanmar / Thailand earth tremors.
  17. Good salient point, well said indeed.
  18. Google says total population of all scandinavian counties is approx. 27million. If musk is really so clever why can't he create systems to massively reduce corruption within a national health scheme. And perhaps that could mean only including 'legal' citizens. Can be done if there's a will.
  19. Many other countries have established very successful national health schemes and in many cases with very small levels of corruption, especially in the Scandinavian countries. Australia has a very successful and comprehensive National Health scheme, Medibank, which is efficient and reliable and provides international quality health care and treatment and provides world class quality attention equal to any treatment anywhere in the world. Medibank provides the latest world class equipment. Medibank Australia has been in operation for several decades. When the Australian Medibank scheme first started the scheme had some teething problems and corruption but these were identified quickly and fixed. For at least 30+ years corruption has been watched carefully and many types of analysis have been developed. A doctor discovered to be falsely billing patients or anything similar will be charged and severely punished very quickly (often jail) and his/her license to practice medicine cancelled for life. If it's a foreigner they will be quickly deported and banned from entry for life. All medical services are available to all citizens and in some cases available to specific visa holders and some international students studying in Australia. Is it free? It's close to free, most of the funding comes from general / all taxation receipts. Australian working citizens pay about 1% extra tax when they submit their personal annual income tax return. The amount paid is very small and is reduced by the deductions available to all citizens for children, education etc.
  20. What a big load of rubbish.
  21. Or, -Legislate opening and closing times for alcohol sales (bottles / restaurants etc.), say 0800 tp 0200. and - Ban all alcohol advertising. - Must show proof of 20 years old to buy.
