Chuwit says General Prawit Wongsuwan will be Thailand’s Prime Minister at the end of August
I think we need to stop using the term democracy. It’s about money. They get in as they do with government jobs, police, military etc with a sole purpose of enriching themselves via corruption.

Thai deodorants.
I prefer showering every time I go out wearing a fresh shirt each time. No need for deodorant. Nothing worse than passing a sweaty tourist wearing a 100B fake designer shirt he bought 2 days ago, still wearing it, uses loads of deodorant to mask the smell of new shirt chemical and BO. The combo is like a wmd (weapon of mass deterrent). One reason Thais don’t like non-Thais, many of my Thai friends here often talk about it.

Russia conscription laws change, leaving some fearful of Ukraine war call-up
Gutless cowards. If you’re not happy about putin’s rule grow a pair and toss him out. Otherwise do what he says and fight. Running away from your obligation is cowardly.

All mega-projects now require strategic environment assessment
They sure like using big words. Fruits of junkets to developed nations as part of learning programs. When it comes to implementation step they run out of juice like many other initiatives.

Thai universities investigated over alleged research plagiarism
It’s about self pride which is not a common value in most Asian countries. It’s about having something and how you get it is not important.

Chonburi orders strict control over roaming Arab groups in the city
Why do we not hear tourists in other parts of the world behave this way? Because they see lawlessness in particular driving related. Xenophobic of Thai police to target tourists for driving stupidity when their own people to exactly the same.

Chinese influencer praises Thailand’s VIP experience on elite visa
It was a paid advertisement. Could’ve made it more authentic and believable.

Daughter's name different on passport and ID card.
The only time I can see an issue is when passport is checked against something created using Thai Id or Thai bank. For example purchased airline ticket using Thai Id/bank so the name on boarding pass not matching oz passport. I recommend amending it just to be sure to be sure????????????

Phuket Police Get Into a Car Chase with a Nigerian Man on a Four Year Overstay, Seize Cocaine From His Home
Concerned citizens reported him? Hard to know if someone is dealing unless you’re in the game too.

Wife won in lottery today
Well apparently boob is a 1 and baby is a 1. I suppose if there were two babies each sucking on a boob the numbers would be 22. Then again What do I know about Thai traditions????????

Payment before doing a job?
That’s the kind of thing I was expecting and articulated it to them. Their reply was it is their company policy. They contacted us about payments a couple of times so they can set up a meeting to discuss details. Money first in my opinion is not a good way to start a working relationship. Well they lost our business but I don’t think they learn anything from it. Thai tunnel vision mentality with little foresight is something I encounter here too often.
-
Payment before doing a job?
I see your point. I did offer some payment upfront. The issue is they may be less committed to work hard if they’ve already been paid full in advance. I’ve heard many stories about contractors getting paid in advance and not showing up as agreed. “My mother is sick I can’t come in this week” etc. I told them I’m going with another company. It didn’t phase the guy.

Payment before doing a job?
I would’ve paid them for the full month irrespective of their performance. After all it was going to be a trial. The continuation would’ve been based on their performance.

Payment before doing a job?
Yes we are a limited company with all the documentation. I understand them wanting some assurance that we will pay. For that reason I suggested a deposit. I also told them if they do a good job we will continue to work with them. They wanted full payment before even the first meeting. It just didn’t sit well with me.

Payment before doing a job?
We’re looking for a marketing company to help us with online marketing. Want to do a one month trial to see how it goes and if it works we’ll continue. A company is interested but they want full payment before they do any work. I suggested a deposit and full payment at the completion. They refused, so did we. What do you think re paying in full before any work is done in similar situations.

They admitted to working as prostitutes. Arrest them then why don’t you?

Alternative to Fortuner
I did some research a couple of years ago. Fortuner, crv, Everest, cx8, pajero to name a few. The winner was Everest so I bought one. Fortuner has a cheap interior and poor quality. The two foldable back seats are awkward, rattle later on and take up too much space in my view.

I wouldn’t go to that restaurant. The owner seems a nut job.

Wife won in lottery today
Finding a good woman in Thailand is really a lottery, isn’t it. With all the “acting” they put up to lure you in, hard to tell how good they are post-wedding. My first Thai turned out to be no-good. I think I’ve won the lottery this time. Then again we’re in the 7-year itch period. ????

Wife won in lottery today
Not a regular player, she won 4K with 11 today. Do you know why I chose 11, she said? Here we go I thought. A dream, car accident number plate? Go on then. I had a dream last night. A baby sucking on my nipple drinking milk. In Thai tradition baby and milk from mother are represented by number1, so I chose 11. I didn’t know that. That’s great well done, I said. Didn’t have the heart to tell her it wasn’t a baby sucking on her nipple last in a dream. The sucking on the nipple was accurate but there was no baby involved, although she calls me baby from time to time.

Hard to tell. One possibility is that it could much higher had it not been for the death penalty.

Thai consulate warns against rushed Thai-Chinese marriages
Also make sure you see a picture of his Willy. Macro lenses can be problematic but know what you’re getting. Not much different to your Thai men, so if it matters go with a farang.

Mrs. Smith aint no Thailand Lover.
Or she could be planning to upgrade to a more hansun man who’s promised to take her out of Thailand. So she’s maybe trying to soften the blow “ I tell you many time I don’t like here, you not do anything, now I have new BF want take me to his country naaaa”

I think you’re confusing deterrent with elimination. Of course it deters many people from committing such crimes.
