After the second world war the UK government introduced 'child allowance' and numerous other maternity benefits to stimulate repopulation of the UK and increase the post war birth rate. Child Allowance was paid until the child's 16th birthday for every child born to a family or single mother. This noticeably increased birth rates since people could then afford to raise children whether married or single. The problem here is that raising children is considered a luxury privilege. You can only raise them well if you earn enough money Intelligent Thai's will not birth children into poverty or reduce their lifestyle to have children.

Point taken

I don't understand, it says in the article that they are a UK couple

Thailand is expensive if you insist on only buying western foods and products, which are expensive because they are not produced in Thailand and have to be imported with the associated import duties and cost of transport. It's very cheap if you are willing to adapt

Same way it did before he started the job. He isn't there anymore, he was removed from his post in immigration hence they are back to their old tricks

Good point

People like him drive away new users by deriding them for not knowing or simply having a different opinion. People post questions or statements because sometimes they are new to Thailand and he jumps in with insults mocking them.

It's Liverpool Lou up to his old tricks. He waits until someone makes a statement then makes derisory comments. He never posts an opinion or statement other than to insult other people

Good point

He didn't introduce them, they were introduced by his political masters. He enforced them, he did his job and didn't allow foreigners to bribe immigration officials to look the other way.

He didn't make that law. He ENFORCED the existing laws. He is a policeman it is his job. He stopped the bribery of immigration officials by foreigners.

Yes I know that a Horologist can also be also a collector of watches or just an admirer of timepieces in general so I'll rephrase my question. How does collecting watches or admiring timepieces make him corrupt? Please explain your weird rationale. I'm waiting, don't waste any time.

Thanks for the information

A horologist is a watchmaker. How does being connected to a watchmaker make him corrupt?

Because he wants to be occupied. I suspect sitting around 'being rich' is a bit like being forcibly retired, it's boring.

Yes he was from a wealthy family Everything you say is pure supposition with no evidence to back it up. each time someone demonstrates that your current supposition is wrong, you make up another supposition which is even less realistic. I reckon your next supposition will be that he is corrupt because he is an alien from outer space🤣😂🤣😂

Yes to both points, you essentially make 3 statements 1. he is corrupt because he is rich OR 2. he is corrupt because he is a policeman OR your latest is 3. he is corrupt because he is ambitious You have provided no evidence whatsoever to back up those 3 statements

True, Boeing have been getting a lot of free advertising recently, it must be galling😂🤣😂

Impossible to discuss this with you. You have your opinion which I believe is wrong. No matter what evidence to his lack of corruption is presented to you, you will still state that he must be corrupt because he is a policeman because you hate the police

No, his wife is also rich

How many times do people have to be told. Big Joke does not depend on his salary. He, and his wife, both come from wealthy families his wife inherited billions from her father. He joined the police as a vocation, not for the money. That is why they fear him so much, he can't be corrupted by bribery

Interesting that there is no mention of the make of the aircraft, I wonder if it is. Boeing

Oh and I forgot 8. Make disabled parking spaces usable for disabled people, with room on BOTH sides of the car to open doors wide, (most disabled people can drive, the car is their lifeline). don't leave a space wide enough for a car between 2 disabled parking slots because someone will definitely use it for parking

When they change the infrastructure they will do far more good for disabled people and help them to be independent 1. Make handrails on public access steps compulsory 2. Compulsory Limit the slope of all ramps so that it is manageable by a person in a wheelchair or their carers pushing them. Always too steep. Also make handrails compulsory on ramps. 3. Repair the footpaths and remove the telegraph poles and trees that block them. 4. Stop shopkeepers and street vendors encroaching on footpaths 5. Repair public access disabled toilet doors and raise the height of the toilet seat. Put handrails in disabled toilets where disabled people can actually reach them to haul themselves upright. Currently every disabled toilet I have been in has a toilet that is lower than the seat of a wheelchair 6. More light controlled crosswalks with audible warning when persons can cross 7. Incorporate the opinion and advice of disabled people when building infrastructure. Currently everything 'for disabled people' seems to have been developed by able bodies people who don't have a clue.
