Court orders government to form urgent plan to address PM2.5
scorecard replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Courts are responsible to ensure there is appropriate judicial action when someone breaks a law, and not responsible to make laws and make civil policies. But let's give it a try, nothing else has worked. -
I've heard of bank managers signing a guarantee that they will transfer all funds to a nominated account (e.g. wife) on seeing a death certificate. But I would ensure wife has copy of any such document and also renew / update the document every perhaps 1 or 2 years and of course a new document when there's a new bank manager. Banks seem to make their own laws on such subjects. A Thai will would also be a possibility, specifically stating that all funds in bank account xx xx xx xx are bequeathed to vvvv vvvv sssss (wife's name and ID card no). Will must of course be properly prepared, signed and witnessed.

Pink Id card for foreigners

And take all your visa documents, passport, reporting proof, house tabien baan book, everything. The pink card is available with some visa types but not with all. Is available to permanent residents Go to your amphur office and check. -
Perhaps the correct amount departs the mixing site but the driver diverts to his own property / friends property and offloads 'a bit', so when the truck gets to you your delivery is short?

Yes other politicians have broken the law and should be charged and if guilty punished, and if appropriate to the crime by a jail sentence. Same applies to Thaksin. This report deliberately goes close to suggesting he was the victim of political games and left. That's not true. He broke several serious laws and organized for a vast amount of Thai taxpayers funds to the loaned to a rogue government so that gov't could buy his products. (Several bankers still doing time for this event.) He wasn't convicted ina kangaroo court, he was convicted by proper fair trial with lots of evidence of wrongdoing. He should be in jail. Now we have this report labelled as an 'Editorial by Webfact' (whoever Webfact is). Given the facts Inappropriate to be an editorial.

Re a safe, suggest you get one that's well (and discretely) attached to the floor or the wall. The less people involved in installing and the less people know it exists is important. I've read many times of folks who buy a safe with push buttons, like in hotel rooms, take it home, put all docs, valuables etc., in the safe and think 'all done'. But the reality is that someone could, if determined walk away with the safe. Not a good plan. Must be secured to floor or wall.

Fixing Thai education is not just a matter of money
scorecard replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I know what I'm talking about and I don't appreciate your attempts at put down, in fact you're grandstanding is insulting. Yes Vietnam has many excellent universities and most/all have English language programs both bachelor and masters levels. Many are branches of highly recognised unis from many countries in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. These programs are always full. I've been an invited member of masters thesis committees in several VN unis, the thesis submissions all written by VN students in English. Some (as always) are nowhere near what is expected for many reasons, many are excellent and the English language quality quite good. Further, don't instruct me what I should watch. Bye. -

And I don't agree with anything in your post. Nothing. I've worked with my SIngapore colleagues and staff from SIngapore companies and Singapore government many times over many years. Always impressed with their insight, their intelligence, their ability to instantly analyse, their ability to express themselves well and more. And in recent years I've taught executive masters degree programs at a highly credible uni in Vietnam in English (campus in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi). All students Vietnamese. They have impressed me and the other western professors in every course. -

Agree, they need to seriously change the foundations and methods (pedagogy) to ensure the end result is comprehensively educated kids capable of and well experienced in discussion, in analysis and in presenting arguments etc. Vietnam has done just that by copying the whole education system / methods etc., employed in singapore. Yes it would be a big long-term undertaking, but it must be done. And that includes very different training for teachers. It can be done. -
And "Move on" means clean up the judicial mess and get all offenders through proper fair judicial process and start their punishments if found guilty.

Prison officials say Thaksin eligible for parole
scorecard replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Why is the Corrections Department making the statement "He can take up political role." There is a government agency officially responsible for making appropriate statements according to a situation but it's certainly not the Corrections Department. -
You mentioned Parkinsons. You might need to check if the airline you prefer (or any airline) have policies which require that passengers with certain ailments/conditions must travel with a caregiver.

A further point, are there small children in your house? For older people at first this maybe quite fun but 24/7 maybe more than they could cope with. But every case is different and you are the only person who knows the answer. Maybe if there's small children this is another reason to try a 2 month holiday to start the process and discover the positives and negatives. Good luck.

Can i keep my family in home country from knowing if i die?
scorecard replied to Pouatchee's topic in General Topics
Of course, there has to be a death certificate. But that's a totally completely different subject to family in another country being informed / not being informed of the death. -

scorecard replied to Pouatchee's topic in General Topics
It may well be that by international diplomatic protocols the embassy must be informed. However it's possible (case by case) that the embassy would then be the block in terms of respecting the wishes of the deceased that family not be informed. Seems to me that ultimately if the deceased has decided that he/she does not want family / others to be be informed then the wishes of the deceased should be respected. It's actually mentioned as a distinct clear paragraph in my will that nobody (except gov't agencies who need to stop benefits etc.) should be informed of my death. Separately his is also recorded with my embassy. Also mentioned (in my will) that my Thai adult son can inform local bodies of my death if he feels it's needed / appropriate. and I trust him to do that if needed. I know he will take this item very seriously, he has strong feelings about protecting the privacy of the family. -

scorecard replied to Pouatchee's topic in General Topics
That's not necessarily true. I'm aware of one embassy that will totally respect this request however they will (by law) send an internal notice to all government agencies who might need to cancel benefits etc. A twist, I'm aware of an American (quite unpleasant nasty man) who gave the US embassy in Bkk a written witnessed instruct to not inform anybody. The embassy respected his wish but did inform SS etc. A friend of the deceased (friend loves to interfere in everything) decided this was not right. He found on-line phone books for the state where he believed the deceased had come from and did find one person listed with the same but quite unusual family name. The Pattaya interferer called the number and the brother of the deceased answered. The interferer explained the death. The brother in the US said 'I have not recognized this man (the deceased) for 30+ years, he caused untold serious family relationship problems, money problems and misery for the family in the US and we agreed jointly, as a family, to disown him. We put notices in newspapers and in official state gazettes etc., saying that we had disowned him and we were not responsible for his debts etc. I have no further comment and please do not call me again, and he hung up'.
