LGBTQ+ couples in Thailand register their marriages on Valentine’s Day
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Again it shows the big need there is for same sex couples to get a legal relationship. But the Thai Government promise it every time but will delay again and again too.. In the countries that have the samesex marriage the economy got a boost, but Thailand is too busy with an outdated law, instead of its people -
Thailand PM drives tourism growth, targets 35 million visitors
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
With the looming political unrest it will soon be different -
WE have been a member of an expat club too, but we quit this year after 3 years membership. Reason is simple.. but too far from our home and the activities are more for the elite class than for common people. Besides that as we have drive 60 km to the activity and 60 km back in the dark I can't drink alcohol as in Thailand you never know what to expect on the road and as a foreigner with alcohol there are more problems.. So for us it has no value...Although we liked it somehow, but because we were almost never at the activities, we didn't get to know a lot of people and so we felt a bit lonely..Anyway we will see... living in our place is good too I don't need expats

Slow economic growth, lack of foreign investment are major challenges
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How can expect else in a country that has no progress but only keep outdated laws and rules, culture etc instead of updating them and enter the 21st century. Labour law should be reviewed, investors laws dito, double pricing should be abolshed and so many more... Keep the country at peace instead of focus on 1 topic that has no influence for the rest of the country. -
Ed Sheeran concert uproar prompts Paetongtarn to deny VIP noise

Get arrest warrents now too for these VIP disrupting a concert.... -
He has the intention.... but that is nothing and how long will the full term longs?? With the stricter enforcements of section 112, the urge to wear special colors on weekdays, the Thaksin saga and the 10 k wallet scheme and surely not least maybe the dissolving of the MFP and lifetime ban for 44 MP's I foresee a short term. It is always the last drop that........ and we a very near to it

Thailand Champions Gender Equality and Diversity
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What a rubbish.. The Government is proud to support the Gay Marriage, but that is all, The will not make the law as again there are delays for committees.. talking is all there is to save face, but the reality is different. And citizens equal?? Why do foreigners have to pay more for some attractions? Why is there double pricing? Why are normal people in jail, and Mr Thaksin not? Why can he say and do as he likes even with violating section 112...?? Why are people who protest being followed, are accused of everything, while coupmakers have thrown over an elected Government without any punishments?? Talking indeed, but no equality only for the rich and famous, but not ordinary people and foreigners -

Move Forward Stands at the Brink of Dissolution
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The witchhunt of section 112 will cost much more than the dissolution of MFP. The law is too strict and nothing can't be done or said anymore, as almost everything is section 112. No wonder people will get more against it..Dissolution of MFP will do more harm than good- 11 replies

Totally correct all the coup makers should be arrested too and in public beheaded.... but the army have made a constitution that protect them from everything and amendment are almost impossible to make. Thaksin came home like a hero, no prison, but fake illness to spend in hospital and now free waiting for his parole.. Re arrested?? Impossible

Expat Tax Twists in Thailand: Navigating the New Landscape in 2024
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand want to country to be for retirees... but with all visa requirements as 65k a month per person or 800.000 per person on a bank account and now extra tax payment, combined with all kind of other general laws as alcohol sales ban, double pricing also in hospitals, scam by taxis. Thailand will never be a country to be the country to retire as they want. And worst of all is that most Thais don't even have to fill in a tax form, while some as we have seen last months ear a lot of money without any taxpaying, again double standards for the foreigners- 440 replies
