    I am in the same postion as the poster working from home in Australia. My feelings cover the gamut of responses on this post - sometimes being annoyed and having to send funds as she couldn't  work and other times feeling like a cheap Charlie for thinking this way. If I was 100 per cent sure about the relationship one way or the other it would be easier. She kind of lied to me as she wanted funds to go from Phuket to Ubon Ratchatani but it ended up costing much more to move than initially stated. She generally doesn't lie and never cheats so I no complain. She is a sweet heart and a full on buddhist. Am I the only one where a girl has so called buddha days where I have to leave her be. Yesterday she worked and got a 1000 baht so I was impressed. No not doing that.

    You probably do have a good one. 

    Its pretty much Thai female 101 to never admit making or having money.

     

    Unfortunately, if shes made 1000baht and told you about it, i bet its gone the next the next day, or thats what she will tell you anyway.

     

    Frittered away on shopping for junk, or given to Ma and Pa or whoever.

    She will soon be  broke again and awaiting your next donation for power and water bills.

  2. The daughters said they would sue anyone who falsely accused them of illegal activities in other countries, of leaving the country, of studying in Australia, failing to pass university exams, living in a mansion in England, laundering money, receiving money from their father, or hiding the fact they were the daughters of the PM

     

    Those are a lot of specific allegations, many of which would be easy to prove if false or not.

    If the people involved are absolutely fabricating all those stories, you can see why the twins would be angry.

     

    But just reading that, It looks suspiciously like the twins have added a plethora of complaints,

    the sole purpose being, to not draw attention to one big accusation that is kinda like the elephant in the room.

    This could seriously backfire on thailand and their testing and figures if many of those stranded travellers test positive on return from thailand

    I can't possibly see why, or understand your point.

    Nations can't refuse entry to their citizens, regardless if they have Covid or not.

     

    And If people happen to get infected sometime between leaving Thailand and arriving at another destination, it cannot be pinned on Thailand with 100% certainty anyway.

  4. I just dont get these guys.

    While others are suffering with Covid, these guys seemingly have it all, yet are still not satisfied. 

     

    Now having drawn attention to themselves, the police will be poking and fitting them up for several other laws that have been outright broken, or skirted around.

     

    ALL which could have been totally avoided,

    if "flying under the radar" instead of posting their silly aรses on social media.

     

    But no,

    Once again,

    its a case of the male farang ego,

    pea-cocking and needing to be seen

    "livin their best life"

     

    Well, hope you be livin your best life in a Thai jail lads...

    I wouldn't say trolling. I send my wife around 90k a month give or take a bit. 

     

    Got 2 kids and a house to take care of, bills to pay etc. After all outgoings are paid there's probably only 65k left for food, going out etc. 

     

    Just like the guy you mocked, it's my family, and I want them to live well. 

     

    And just for the record, I met my wife when I had nothing, but as time has gone on we've been lucky in many respects, 15 years later and our lifestyle has changed accordingly. 

    I dont think i really mocked anyone.

    Its good luck for you guys if y'all on big enough $ to sustain that sort of budget indefinately.

     

    As time progresses, i suppose expenses change, kids schooling is finished, and then they are gone, less expenses, and so on.

    It depends on your age and earning ability.

     

    From my calculations, you are actually giving away the equivalent of a months salary for a high end English teacher in Thailand ( maybe even university lecturer)

    so you would have to be earning at least double that in whatever you are doing.

     

    So when retiring, on those figures, you'd need to have aside

    200k per month x 20-30 years to see you out in that sort of lifestyle scenario.

     

    Again, good luck to you if that's the plan.

     

    Im not mocking, but the major problem id be thinking about is having a Thai partner getting used to that lifestyle and those spending habits.

     

    From what I've heard and seen, they just

    don't handle it very well, if accustomed to a certain lifestyle, then told they have to throttle it down later on.

     

    The old guys used to give their wives 80% of their salary and tell em that was everything. (20% cunning kit)

    So It was then understood that that was ALL they had, and they had to make the budget themselves on that amount.

     

    I always thought that might be the way id go if in that situation in Thailand.

     

    But good luck to you Sir, however you go.

    God I am so tired of the conspiracy nonsense,,, so who is creating this conspiracy and how is it being coordinated across all countries? What is the end game? Are all the doctors, scientists, hospital workers all over the world in on this conspiracy? Are they all keeping it a secret?

     

    This conspiracy is on a par with the end of the world is coming and the whole world will collapse in 2000 when the entire worlds computer systems will shut down,,, surprise surprise nothing happened.. Same will happen here, the vaccine will be launched soon and by first quarter 2021 we will be returning back to normal, that's my thoughts and all the silliness around all these conspiracies will be forgotten like all the conspiracies that went before.

    I suppose the hardcore conspiracy stuff comes from people trying to find reason, or cause, for all the madness going on. 

     

    There must be a huge amount of people who have been massively effected by the reaction to all this, people who live in areas that were never likely to have any Corona at all anyway. Yet they are suffering.

    So i imagine, for them, this has been an absolute farce that could have been handled a lot better.

     

    Western Australia for example:

    since march:

    population: 2.6million

    655 cases.

    641 recovered.

    9 deaths.

     

    I dont think anyone is calling it a straight out hoax, but there must be many that are seriously piรรed off and asking questions.

     

    As we know, the mantra of every government has always been

    "never let a good crisis go to waste"

     

    It might be leaning on the conspiracy side a little, but i have no doubt that there would be people and governments using all this to fix certain agendas.

    Actually the government thought that tourism is neverending income of money, they became even more strict on foreigners, many rules they changed, the numbers were starting to drop even before Covid-19 they didnt do anything to fined solution they were counting on hordes and masses of Chinese and Indians to saving their tourism sector. 

    Now Chinese are making large pool parties in Wuhan spitting into the face of rest of the world. 

    The prices on Real estate, hotel businesses significantly dropped i expect before 2030 that it will not be Thailand anymore but Chiland, and all money will go back to mother China only peanuts like taxes will stay to the government. 

    And another thing to note..

     

    If you remember, for the past 3+ years before Covid, nearly ALL countries

    (and most definately all of S.E.A) started to tighten up visa laws on tourists and long stayers. Even Vietnam banned back to back tourist visas. 

     

    So in effect there was a push, to really just get folks to GO HOME.

     

    And I believe the diplomatic pressure was being put on many countries, from the likes of U.S, ENG, AUS..

    To get western citizens (taxpayers) back home and plug the currency leak, for whatever reasons.

     

    And of course they constantly blamed

    "people smuggling" and

    "threats to national security"

    altough there never seemed to be any real evidence of such.

     

    And now fast forward to our current Covid era...

    The objective nearly completely done.

    Mostly all citizens back home and locked down..

     

    Again, for "whatever reasons"

    Or maybe to distract us all from something, or get us in preparation for what comes next.

  8. Australia announced the Oxford prospects quite a few days ago.

    Those who follow both countries will notice a pattern of Thailand quickly following everything Australia does, especially with the OTT lock-downs and restrictions.

     

    And one of the Thai government cabinet stooges has Aussie form with a drug conviction in the past, so maybe they like the kangaroos for letting him off easy.

     

    Anyway, this is just more proof they copycat Australias nanny state-isms

     

    Finally Morrisson is making some noise about the need to open the country and "learn to live/manage" the virus. 

    so maybe all is not lost.
