Unlike the bigger number players it is sad they are probably being squeezed out. An example of corporate cut throat tactics and never mind the unemployment factors. Profit rules !

That does not sound/read true ! How would it be possible to install a glass cooktop on the top of a counter ? Do you suggest the plan was to create a cutout of the counter in a way to support the glass ?

Did you ever get your hands dirty when observing shortcomings of workers or bend your back at all? Oh ! Never there to observe ? If you were a Thai you would be there like a hawk or working with !

My experience from 20 plus years in Thailand is that no matter the result is often determined by the level of mutual respect between worker and payer. If a naive foreigner accepts the suggestion to employ people without some assessment of experience or examples of capacity then up to them. Worst scenario is employing family or friends of . Installs by contracted individuals to major retail sellers no different. Suggest discount because will/already have "installer" and see what reaction ! Work out why if you need to ! Thai workers/ trades people/small business people of Thailand have personal pride and if you genuinely acknowledge that and encourage it instead of constant demeaning either behind or in face which is noted either way the outcome may be much improved !

Try a couple of good sized sand bags in the rear of the tray.

Government directed focus on non taxed and untraced outward bound cash flow?

Occasional showers here 0nly last 4 days in NE Issan. Extended family in Sukothai area has had your weather.

Oh no ! I did not think of that ! Perhaps those students actually had nefarious thoughts and were only waiting for an opportunity to drop kick the infant shortly after sticking a pen in one eye ? The same sort of activity many /most/ perhaps all perform on their younger siblings at home? Possibly encouraged to do so by a sick minded foreign step parent ? Or not ?

Not only but also ........Blah !

Typical sad panic button responses. Yes indeed the initial "suggestion" to tax incoming funds without any clarification was worthy of some panic. Was it "The Government" who announced a set plan ? Or was some eager wannabe news writer who wrote it in a way to invite/ incite panic? Already there has been some clarification that eliminates much concern for the average fragile expat. But it seems that for the sake of sharing comforting objections that has been ignored !

Does it really matter any more? He is here. The sky has not fallen. Look to see what the distraction is about !

And in that case it was able to establish a correct outcome . Historically such evidence was rarely available and outcomes were based on verbal accusation and/or denials. Which party to such incidences who were genuinely guilty of criminal acts was probably often a lottery based on affordability of legal representation. Not at all an "honest" application of truth. How often now is guilt established on the lack of evidence to refute accusation rather than proof of accusation due to absence of electronic or purchased "scientific" evidence. Given the mentality of many emales in these times I would suspect motivation.

You not like comedy?

So no victim is genuine ?

Pointless.

An aspect of social respect not yet destroyed in that part of Thailand. A tribute to the Teacher at least . Who here in this toxic platform will choose to defile it ?

Oh ! There it is. Toilet humour? Very Benny Hill . He was a sad lonely lil .... too.

And lo and behold Pottyy pops in with another usually caustic one liner devoid of any meaningful content .

From a mental health perspective there seems to be a very wide spectrum of social deviant thoughts. Advocating torture, death, "execution" , retaliatory sexual/genital abuse and rape. Hello? This person suffers a deviant thought process. Seems not so much worse than the suggestions. Hard to defend either way.

The mentality of a stalker need be considered an irritation rather than a threat. But eventually... can be made suffer a cure like an itch.

Missing a mirror?

Really ? No surprise.

It was. But you can apply it to whatever scenario you assume relevant if you choose.

Hyenas abound ! Such ugly beasts

This is a recurring issue that now has expanded across the world. In Thailand at this time of the rain season it becomes an urgent issue because the mosquito responsible for carrying it enjoys nice fresh water to produce offspring very rapidly. That plastic bag under a bush, an discarded plastic container etc etc that can contain water for a bout 2 days is an incubation site ! That sneaky rapid skinny mosquito is your potentially mortal enemy. Dengue mozzie. The big fat slow one that provide satisfaction is squishing and blood staining your skin or sleeve? Potential malaria , not dengue. Wise up peoples !
