There is no evidence, whatever, bible or stone writings etc., or whatever: - That god or jesus ever actually existed. - That jesus was from virgin birth and/or from non-consentual sex. - That jesus was reborn 3 days after he died. - That the disciples parted rivers and/or provided food from nothing for thousands of people. Further: the bible does NOT mention anywhere anything about homosexuality or TV activity. _

At many stores staff making calculations is not necessary, all easily available on their keyboard and screen.

My Thai son asked why his 8 yo daughter had not been taught her basic multiplication tables. Answer 'not needed any more, smartphone calculator for everything'.

That's your opinion, not everybody sees it exactly like that. I say again, I rather doubt Thailand would want to get into that discussion in any way.

OIC.

I have a very good relationship with my adult Thai son, I spend a lot of great time with him and his great wife. Occupies my time and provides good discussions. Also I have 4 Thai grandchildren (17, 12, 7, 6 months) I spend a lot of time with them, we cook together, we shop at Big C together, I help them with reading English and a lot more. I'm occupied and happy.

The police would normally not get involved in the situation you elude to. Banks don't / can't freeze accounts because of a request from some third party. Call the bank call centre,they all have many English speaking staff and they don't bite. Get the facts.

Nice try, but: - I really doubt that Australia will change such key policies, and - I really doubt that Thailand is interested in pursuing such change.

Yawn / ignore...

How old is the photo? How many of the people in the photo are still appointed to any gov't agency /official relevant position?

From above: "in Thailand, the most insulting thing you can do is to imply that any Thai has Burmese, Lao, or Cambodian ancestry." Add Indian...

Silly headline ... nothing shocking at all about his family history.

Same, first (and only) visit about 30 years ago, horrible place for many reasons, never been back, never will go back.

Several impressive situations for sure. A farang acquaintance told me recently he purchases a solar 'set up' to create enough charge to run one a/c all night and it worked well, so he bought a second unit. Any comments on this much appreciated. Why, because our family is big, my Thai son has 3 very young kids and we run 3 a/c's most of the night, so our bill is pretty high, if son can establish more positive comments re solar just for a/c's he intends to buy. (By the way, I'm not looking for snide / judgemental comments on a/c's for kids.)

Worst I'm aware of: Young very beautiful italian female professor accepted a short-term teaching contract, in Economics, in English, at a Bkk uni. Uni booked her into a nice hotel about 4 Km from the campus and sent her several messages in Thai script, that she could give to taxid drivers etc. Hotel picked her up at Suvanabhumi airport. First morning hotel hailed a taxi and the professor gave the driver the note, in Thai, with the address of the uni. On arrival driver had locked all doors and refused to let her out. Lady professor realized many people were very close nearby walking into the uni. She banged on the window several times and 2 male students went to investigate. Driver refused to unlock the doors saying he would unlock: - when she paid 500Baht (should be about 50 - 60Baht), and - when the lady allowed him to touch her legs. She refused. Students noted that 2 cops were standing nearby and asked the cops to intervene. Initially they refused. Students called the uni dean's office and requested deans office take action. Much more snr cop arrived quickly plus the dean arrived. Driver still won't unlock the doors. Cop say there's nothing they can do. Students decided to take action, they find a length of steel pipe and smash the window and unlock the door and get the lady out of the car. More snr cops arrive and berate the cops already on the scene. Driver taken away in handcuffs. Dean of uni now very concerned that the lady will insist to cancel the lessons and fly home to Italy that day. The 2 male students make a plan; they will go to the hotel every morning in a private car and bring her to the uni and same in reverse to accompany her back to the hotel early evening and if she wished they had dinner with her. Dean asks the hotel to employ an extra security staff (at uni expense) to sit outside her room all night. Course ends, uni tries to arrange a farewell event. Lady professor refuses to attend. Uni asks her to please come back to lecture more courses. She refuses. Nothing ever heard again from the police. Requests to the police for info on what happened to the taxi driver all ignored.

I blocked his posts many months ago.

You should remember that going back 1, 2, 3 generations the daily objective was to survive, to provide 3 meals a day. You could label that scenario as selfish but i wouldn't agree, the label would be survival and not selfish.

"But hey, you believe what you want to believe, they are both law and they both apply to each respective pension, in layman's terms, once again, Article 18 for Age Pensions, taxable only in Thailand," The bold text above seems to have been confirmed several times. So that leaves Oz citizens who receive OAP funds into their Thai bank accounts (specifically those who have no other income) and how will these funds be taxed by the Thai Revenue Department?' There's been multiple postings re this very specific scenario but I'm still wondering what the answer is. What's your thoughts?

Already posted, scroll back a few posts, full photo bottle and box.

But if it's second hand seriously investigate / check the status of an owners committee and how action that committee is and the common finances.

I totally agree, don't alienate your kids from the way life is in 2024.

Maybe pick up truck?

Once had a death on my flight. At 3.5 hrs into the flight the Atilalia aircraft was halfway across Australia (Melbourne to Italy). Very early in the morning the Italian Captain had to turn the flight around and go back to Melbourne. No other airports available at that hour. 99% of the passengers were Italian migrants going home to Italy to see parents, old aunts etc. When the food / drinks ran out many of the passengers got very emotional and started to abuse the flight crew. On arrival in Melbourne about 3 hr delay while the captain consulted Aust. authorities, which resulted in not allowing the passengers (full flight) to get off the aircraft so we sat on the aircraft another 3 hrs. And within about 1.5 hrs drinks and food all depleted. Coffin brought on board and body put in the coffin with much wailing and crying (emotional Italians). About 10 Melbourne police and a doctor came onto the aircraft and they physically inspected the body and wrapped the body in a typical white cloth. Family and other passenger not allowed to touch the body or the coffin. Captain did get permission for drinking water to be replenished in Melbourne, and got permission to make an unplanned stopover in Singapore. All passengers disembarked and we were escorted by airport police to an airport employees catering facility at the airport and we were well feed. But only after all passports were stamped for arrival at Singapore, then of course had to be stamped for departure from Singapore. Meanwhile all food and drinks replenished on the aircraft for the rest of the flight. About 3 hrs stopover.

But you could also put a usufruct on the land title deed requiring that you must sign for the property to be sold and this would be valis until you die. And the usufruct can state that you have a right to live in the condo until you die.

Can you us BOLT taxi in your area? Maybe same problem but GRAB and BOLT and the others don't operate exactly the same. I use BOLT several times every week, never a problem.
