Thank you.

How do you know he wants/gets 5% of what assets?

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I forgot to add trump to the list, the most hightly 'qulified' liar of all time. My sincere apologies.

"In Florida, it is against the law to mislead and to misrepresent, particularly when you're talking about the efficacy of a drug," DeSantis said. " So let's have a commmitte to list all the times DeSantis, mtg, the rifle woman, and every other politician, all flavours, and charge them. Let's go.

Also ordered with L & paid by cc then driver arrives with parcel asks my DIL for cash, she pays. Multiple messages about refund ignored. Plus the item turns up second time, driver asks for cash. Call L they insist I pay driver. I repeat 'already delivered early this morning'. L 'must pay'. Sent driver away. With ALibarba or alipay never ever had a problem in several countries.

At retirement my understanding is that members have 2 initial options*: Option 1: Take a full refund of contributions, or Option 2: Take a lifetime monthly pension. I've got a copy of the act but I can't find this in the act. Does anybody have the above as a substantive legal document, would you please share. (* I've learned (from members posts here and in the act that members can continue Injury benefits and Sickness benefits and pay their ongoing monthly contributions by paying their contributions at Krung Thai Bank, and members have six months to decide if they wish to continue these benefits. And this is not affected by taking a contributions refund).

But perhaps they get paid after they have indicated (online) that the parcel has been received and in some cases drivers still ask for a signature.

Well said. Here's an extreme example of a farang overthinking his importance / entitlement in the LOS. Very wealthy older farang (gay but that's a side point) been retired in LOS with retirement visa for about 20 years. This year didn't renew his retirement visa and got tip off immigration looking for him, friends bundled him to the airport and pushed him to pay the fine and leave. His resaon for not renewing his retirement visa: - 'But everybody knows how much money I give to Thai boys (meaning over 18), so surely I qualify for not necessary to have any visa'. And he is generous to Thai boys (as said above this is NOT meaning under age), And he 'entertains' many young men in his very large expensive home. His comment is not surprising, that's how he sees life. He's almost never been outside of Pattaya and has no real vision/understanding of what real Thailand looks like, city or country, how society works, survives, how families exist and survive in the rest of Thailand. He sees Thailand in his own gay picture of his ever present image and thoughts of gay life and his belief that every thai boy is desperate for his idea of entertainment. He seriously believes: 'But everybody knows how much money I give to Thai boys (meaning over 18), so surely I qualify for not necessary to have any visa'.

Sure, they will never use an outside agency because it would quickly reveal that many of the senior and junior staff are corrupt/very corrupt

Had this at our house. Son spoke to driver who did have small package. Son says driver seeemed to be quite innocent, just doing his assigned task. Driver did mention he had previously woked for another tpt outfit but just changed because of promise of better payment. Son then told driver 'did not order / will not accept', and closed the door. Driver called his supervisor then disappeared, never seen again.

My Thai son has mentioned this. Both he and his wife regularly buy online. Son and wife order COD for some purchases but always pay using a QR code (the driver/rider has this) and their own banking app. Son says some suppliers are aware of COD real cash total scams and therefore prefer that you pay using QR code because this creates a transaction thread which can be easily followed/checked.

Modern very lighweight synthetic blankets are just as good, totally machine washable, dry very quickly, can be rolled down to maybe just 10% of the overall space of a wool blanket. These have been available for decades, we had them in the war era in Vietnam.

Corruption nowadays permeates everything (actually like this for a very long time already), and nothing of any real impact is being done to reduce and to stop coruption. Part of the problem is that so many cops and gov't officers are involved they don't speak up because they reveal their own corruption activities. In other words the problem just multiplies. The useless PM promised he would stop corruption. He's done nothing. And it's been revealed several times his own close family deeply involved.

Bottom line, he has a very scaly past history but he's now doing a lot of good things of good value for Thailand. I hope he's got good and very alert body guards.

Exactly, basically there's 2 situations: - Wife (anybody) makes a legal will all correctly signed, who they bequeath things to is totally / absolutely the choice / the desires of the person making the will. End of story. - Wife (anybody) DOESN'T MAKE A WILL BEFORE THEIR DEATH. By law this means the person has died 'intestate'. In this situation there's automatic compulsory law detailing who gets what. It's in the Thailand Commercial Code laws. Compulsory.

Hope they served som tam for breakfast with fish.

Come on be flexible, many coffee shops have a long list of drinks they offer, many in addition to coffee drinks.

Your wife can/should make a will and she has every right to bequeath any part of her worldy goods, including any property, to whoever she wishes. Totally her choice. And should be totally without any pressure from family. Past family history cannot dictate how she prepares her will/who she bequeathes things to. In preparing her will she should beware of any 'laws' which are not law. E.g. I'm aware of a case of an officer at an Amphur office who is tasked with helping ciizens to write their will telling a young Thai man that by law he had to leave 100,000Baht in his will to his mother in law. After some checking it was confirmed there is no such law. When confronted with the fact there's no such law the Amphur officer then fell back to a comment 'well it's not law but I think it's a nice idea'. Beware of things like this. But is she DOESN'T make a will (she dies intestate) then Thai law kicks in with a set formula of who gets what. This is all laid out very clearly/specifically in the Thai Commercial Code laws. If she does depart without making a will when the judge/court grants probate of the will the judge/court cannot change the formula as set out in the commercial code. If the family members decide after the event to include a further person as a beneficiary they can, that's entirely up to them and this would be totally after probate has been granted by the court, and not included in the court granting probate. And not included in any probate documents issued by the court.

A Usufruct might also be worth investigating. This is a document added to the land title deed by the actual owner (as indicated on the land title deed) whereby the owner indicates that the person named on the usufruct can live in the property until they die. And this can override who owns the property. Example: My Thai son put a usefruct on the land title deed for his house, indicating: - I can / must be allowed to live in the house until I die, regardless of whether my son dies before me and regardless of who he bequeathsd the land and house to (in this case in his will he has indicated that all of his kids get equal ownership of the property whenever he dies). - The house and land cannot be sold, regardless of anything just above, without my signed appoval to sell. - The only person who can cancel the usufruct is me. It does automatically cancel on my death. Son's lawyer did her research then wrote the usufruct. Land Titles snr. officer at Chiang Mai had no hesitation to attach the usufruct to the land title.

Don't fret, his wife is highly intelligent, and she speaks perfect English.

Also now necessaary in Singapore and Malaysia and Vietnam and ....

Depends how many birds are in the area, but I'm assuming they do eat raw rice (and the insects).
