I read somewhere that Thailand has a workforce of 38 million people. That would mean that over 20% is (or was) in the tourist sector. 

so any way you cut it, 20% of economy is tourism based

i guess she was driving under influence of being emotional

Do you have sources for your statement?  

 

What I read is very different:

 

Over the past few weeks, mortality in the Netherlands has been higher than the average figures recorded in previous years. There were 3,575 deaths in week 12 (ending 22 March). This is 443 more than the average weekly figure in the first ten weeks of this year. For week 13 (ending 29 March), the number of deaths is estimated at around 4,300. The estimate has been based on the number of death certificates received by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) for week 13. These figures have been reported by CBS and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) on the basis of national provisional counts of the number of deaths per week.

since most statistics dont include fractional numbers,

i will wait until beginning of next year to show

death by year comparisons, but so far,

i see no statistically significant deviation from the norm

i once bumped into a dude that paid his female company in advance, and then went onto TVF complaining how she was complaining once the money had changed hands,

to get rid of him

some years ago, it was very nice to drive around the island

on the winding road, also a couple of lagoons that is stunning

i just got my yearly health check result,

it has its positives and negatives living in thailand

What about consumption? And maintenance? Thanks! 

i never took the time to check consumption,

they are both automatic and have 150 cc,

and even weight should be similar, so therefore consumption should be similar. i havnt owned an nmax but i presume its like the pcx, maintenance is a non issue

nmax is better power, balance, and above all, brakes,

and i say that as a pcx owner.

i am surprised to hear there is a price difference, if anything, the nmax was more expensive a couple of years ago

Our pension is a right and most of us worked for them. It's not some gift given to us by generous politicians.

those savings are spent quickly, do you acknowledge

that the money wont last 1000 years, or 100 years, or even 10 years ?

it also isnt only to pay for future, but for past expenses, such as your education,

police, army, hospital, etc etc

It is why the elite have safes full of cash, gold, silver, diamonds and other easily tradeable gems.  For those who do not have any type of savings within reach to live daily life, they better start to put some away within grasp if possible.  This way they can live hand to mouth until the day a newer normal called living life returns.....Yes partially sarcastic.

in burma they already reached the point of new normal,

as a consequence of fighting covid & climate change (^TM)

peasant life eating rats

i think the coffers will run dry long before that

they are fighting covid19 & climate change, applauds ????

peasant life is the new normal

a fan and without shirt makes it impossible to sweat,

if i remove either of these conditions i will sweat

definitely truths in what OP is on to

wasnt there a movie once when the entire family was a bunch of thieves ?

its same spec as oppo a9, (8GB RAM 128GB ROM) which cost 6800 baht on lazada,

but oppo has 25% bigger battery, 5k vs 4k mAh, so it depend how long you are willing to wait on an inferior phone, and possibly how much the total cost is for that phone,

and how much of a stink it raises for you to run out of battery juice

The opposite. How little you know. If my NI contributions had been put into a defined benefits pension scheme from day one, I'd be drawing a far bigger pension than I am now.

 

 

pension funds was built on assumption

of growth that never materialized,

the deficit is subsidized by taxes,

its almost universal cross the western hemisphere
