  1. I wasn't trying to answer your absurd question. I was addressing your absurd notion that alcohol does not occur in nature.
  2. Alcohol does most certainly exist in nature. Rotten fruit ferments. Animals eat it and get drunk.
  3. The issue seems to be between you and your landlord. Are you absolutely sure your rental agreement with them conforms to the juristic bylaws of the condo? The landlord's stated "right of access" many not match the condo's...
  4. So... you have no fiduciary interest in the condo building. You just ASSUMED you would have NYE access. Now its time to whinge. That's just very poor.
  5. For the sad and confused folks... Having all his paperwork means nothing, child traffickers have all the forged documentation they would ever need. The only way an IO is going to determine whether or not that child is being trafficked is by talking to the child.
  6. Pain in the behind for you, but a very good way to root out human child traffickers. Suck it up and move on.
  7. They are not. Mostly because it is NOT an issue. Of the foreign affairs experts I follow exactly NONE are predicting this. But there are many out there that post scary stuff for clicks n cash and I think you may have fallen for the outrage clickbait. Think of it as cold War II with a much more stable and predictable adversary. Nothing to see here.
  8. Simple. The answer is in your question. You direct your vitriol at THE GOVERNMENT not "the jews". It is an obvious distinction.
  9. 17 yrs here with my farang wife. Not in Pattaya tho. Couldn't be happier!
  10. An elderly man rear-ended a guy driving an expensive European sports car… Enraged, the guy hops out and confronts the old man. He yells, "Look what you did to my car…!!!” "You're going to give me $10,000 right now or I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" "Oh my…" the old man said nervously, "I don't have that kind of money.” “Let me call my son…,” he said with hope, “he trains dolphins and he will know what to do." "Dolphins..!?!?!" the other driver huffed, while rolling his eyes. The old man pulled out his phone, dialed his son, and just as his son answered, the irate man snatched the phone away from the old man. "So, YOU'RE a dolphin trainer, huh..?!?!” The irate man yelled, “Well, your old man here just rear-ended my car and I need TEN GRAND right now, or I'm going to beat you AND your old man to a pulp…!!" "I'll be there in 10 minutes," says the voice calmly on the other end. Exactly 10 minutes later, a Jeep pulls up and a guy hops out and proceeds to pulverize the bully, leaving him in a heap on the side of the road. When he finished, he walked over to his father and said…. "For the last time dad, I train Seals… Navy Seals.” “NOT dolphins..!!”
  11. I have obscured everything but my name and the pertinent info on foreign bank statements. It has never been an issue.
  12. To each his/her own... We retired here in our early 40s and not bored yet!!
  13. https://fitsmallbusiness.com/employee-productivity-statistics/ Stats from 2023...
  14. That's what u got out of the story? I read it as her wondering why in God's name anyone would willing choose a 9 to 5 in 2023...
  15. Seems like they are smart enough to understand that, as things seem to be heading, there ain't no pension panacea at the end of their career gigs.
  16. Interest? What IS that? My $ stay in my home country and are only spent here. My account earns NO interest 🤣🤣🤣
  17. I have none of that except drivers license and my wife is a farang as well. Still as easy as pie.
  18. Too bad 4 u. Just on the mainland off Samui and it was simps 😁 Did u consider getting a confirmation of address from Suratthani immigration rather than Samui, they still issue them...
  19. Again, this must depend on where u r. Non-O, retirement. Couldn't have been easier.
  20. I guess it depends where you are. Opening SBC account in Khanom was almost too easy 🤣🤣🤣
  21. Right here. My mistake 🥴
  22. That is NOT what you said tho, is it?
  23. Are you high by any chance? You DO realize that the old Testament is a "Jewish book", right?
