Stop moaning worse places to be stuck, daughter is airhostess stranded in Kuwait even if she could find a way out of the country, you need an exit stamp for employees to be able to leave the country which Kuwaiti airlines are refusing to do because they don't want to be left without staffing if suddenly open up again

Ok it's not great situation to be in but the UK government has never made a secret that pensions in certain countries will be frozen when you reside there. I knew this 16 years ago when I retired at 40, I calculated this against the benefits of retirement in thailand and decided was worth the potential loss I'm ex military and thing that is most annoying is our government can send us to any crap hole they desire to and we are still expected to pay the national insurance but we can't expect the payouts while living abroad in retirement

Keep him away from anything to do with pharmaceuticals after the huge cluster he made from the cannabis laws

Drug dealing has a possible death sentence, why was even given bail? If he was caught bang to rights don't have to be a rocket scientist to guess he wasn't going to show up at court Few missing brain cell on both sides, him for getting bail and remaining in thailand Courts for giving a foreigner bail for drug supply

Then with the same breath he will say the thai police is not a mafia organisation and the public should trust them

ACTING prime minister if you please

He was dragged for 200m , the breaking distance for 80kmph is 69m, the breaking distance for 177kmph is around 160m As soon as he hit him and carried on driving then became murder

They add these holidays but normal business don't add them and operate as normal, the only people who truly benefit are government employee's who already only work a 5 day week, children are given time off but then parents struggle finding alternative child care

Sad day when big joke was ousted from rtp, he had a good guy in bad guys out policy which for some reason offended many foreigners, I liked that his policy also applied to immigration officers, they were all on their best behaviour when he was in charge. You knew exactly what was needed and each immigration office was plasterered in signs detailing how long each specific visa was to take, the bit I liked was the complaint shotline they used to have,,, funny as soon as he left the immigration division all those signs were quickly binned and we went back to looking for issues which can't be fixed unless you use an agent, which they just happen to have on speed dial

All airlines should be able to recruit the best pilots possible no matter their nationality, who wants an inferior pilot taking to the skies with 300 passengers when he perhaps only got the job because he is thai and no one else is allowed.... barber is a protected thai job but what's the worst that can happen... a bad haircut which will grow out in a few weeks, poor pilot could crash killing all passengers and destroying anything it hits on the ground Not saying thai pilots are inferior but you can't get the best pilots with such a limited recruitment pool

Another one who will divide the country further, thaksin keeps trying to stay relevant when the elites don't want him in politics and will always find a way to get him out of power, him his sister and daughter should be a lesson to learn from but he keeps trying. Abhisit has too much bad blood after his crackdown on the central protesters

How much has this on off tourist tax actually cost the government? Wasted hours debating at least 20 times since I've been living here and no closer to it being implemented

Why is this moving so fast? Public services never move fast! This has to make it's way past countless beauracrats before it makes its way to the privvy council. Would normally have finished his 1 year prison term before his documents make it to the royal household

Be interesting to see the flight manifests after 12 months to see how the plane has been utilised I suspect 99% will be taking "vip" on jollies. What rank or civilian status classes a person as a vip?

Lot of hassle, my step daughter waited until she was over 18 and didn't need to contact the father who had not been in her life since she was 2 months old. Then was a quick visit to the local registrar's office with me and her mother, think the father is removed from birth certificate and I was added instead. She then changed her name and had new documents issued. Lots of extra paperwork needed when she applied to become cabin crew as school records etc had different names as she wanted a new forename and surname.
