Mr Meeseeks

Also, expect a lot more of this divisive nonsense now that Thaksin is back running things.

Correct. You cannot trust anything in this country when it comes to business and money. I include other farangs in that as well. I have been extremely lucky, and it is possible to do well with hard work, but that is only if you go in with the above rule in your head at all times.

Licensing in Thailand is most often just a complete nonsense.

How many to change a lightbulb? 🤣

Just as safe as dropping kids off at a place run by Thais imo.

Why send back to Korea? The murder was committed in Thailand.

PTT. Caused Australia's worst ever maritime disaster and took over all the gas field assets in Burma when Western companies exited due to human rights concerns, but they are relatively successful internationally. Red Bull, 50/50 Austrian and Thai though. Carabao, starting to see their energy drinks in UK and other countries. CP Group, one of the World's largest chicken exporters. Etc.

Must be a few other bodies in Maprachan lake surely?

Like everything else they do! 😆

Lots of Chinese gangsters and warlords along that border, all operating illegal operations such as drug trafficking, human trafficking and gun running. The Chinese government is trying to round them up and get them sent back to the motherland, with varying degrees of success depending on the support they give to the Burmese junta. Who better than another Chinese gangster, albeit a white collar one, to negotiate?

If they do reclassify cannabis as a narcotic, then someone is making a lot of money from that happening. They don't do anything if there's no money in it. Shut down all the foreign and small operators, force people to purchase from their large farms, just another way of monopolising the market so only a select few benefit.

Thai Airways liabilities are still close to 300 billion THB. You can put that reduction from 500 billion THB down to old fleet sales and debt restructuring, but it very much appears like nothing has changed.

RIP to this guy, but the fact he lost his life while attempting to shut off a valve indicates that he was taking a risk, which further indicates that his training and/or supervision was deficient. It also begs the question of why this could not have been done remotely.

They are really starting to reveal their hatred of foreigners now.

You are assuming he is an immigrant when his visa probably states quite clearly, NON-IMMIGRANT. Come back with any questions if that confuses you.

Good old Ben getting stuck in there, and rightly so. Pretty much summed up what a lot of us are thinking.

Thailand has never really believed that. Even up to the mid 00's you could still get visas and extensions from bars on Silom and Sukhumvit. So much easier then, never having to leave the country! A lot cheaper too. It was the Chinese gangster that changed it all, with his continuing pogrom against foreigners. The UN is not my father and all that nationalist nonsense.

EVERYTHING done here is about money.

Lesson to be learned: Check what is coming before opening your door.

No.

Only morons drive a bus in Pattaya.

It was a throwaway comment about people living in the surrounding area. One of our businesses shares a facility with PTTOR where they store liquified gas. We've been trying to relocate for a while now. This one not in an industrial estate though. Nobody believes that, but there has been three major industrial fires in Thailand in less than a month, not to mention the ammonia leak, building collapse in Bangkok, etc. Not bad going.

Very aware. I have several facilities located within these industrial estates. They are privately owned, and I also know many of the owners.

They will probably be removed in yet another coup once the thievery and corruption gets too blatant.

I see real estate prices dropping in that area.
