  1. There are many crimes, which in my view warrant capital punishment, the most obvious one being murder I see no reason to abolishing capital punishment, when there is absolute proof of guilt, such as CCTV, multiple witnesses and the like. However, the only alternative is surely whole life imprisonment, which sadly most countries pay lip service to. 10/15/20 years and applications are generally approved for parole. The murderer is free to enjoy the rest of his/her life (usually with social security benefits) yet the victim has nothing more.
  2. The incident has prompted local officials to renew calls for motorists to strictly follow traffic regulations, particularly on busy highways, to prevent similar tragedies. What utter <deleted>!!! Motorists should strictly follow traffic regulations EVERYWHERE, AT ALL TIMES
  3. A Swift transfer to a Thai bank, will be exchanged into Thai baht at the banks rate at time of arrival (1,2,3 days later) It may be higher than on the day sent, it may be lower. With a WISE transfer, one knows exactly what the exchange rate will be.
  4. Just checked the fee shown was £18.81, It is worth noting that when making a transfer with Wise, if you send the money to your account first then use the balance to pay for the transfer it is usually a wee bit cheaper.
  5. Why close it? Just leave 20bt in and it will lapse in time
  6. In my experience most Thai banks require the Thai eqivalent of probate, to enable a spouse or partner named in a Will to receive the deceased's funds. No problem in a joint account holder removing./transferring funds out of the joint account and not advising the bank. If the joint account ATM expires, then problems arise as both account holders need to apply for a new one Most widows/widowers, Thai or expat invariably use their spouses ATM card (if they know the PIN) to remove funds after death, regardless of it being illegal. Problem is when the Thai wife of an expat knows the ATM PIN, several in my experience have drained the account prior to death, and therefore maybe best to keep the PIN number with a 3rd party, only to be released upon death
  7. Plus the obligatory wais!!!!!!! Charge them with murder!
  8. Several other sources all say Thursday Google is your friend!
  9. For the record...................Thai PM will deliver a comprehensive performance review titled "2025 Empowering Thais: A Real Possibility" on 12 Dec at 10 AM.
  10. The other English language newspaper suggests she will speak on Thursday.............."Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is due to make a major public address on Thursday"
  11. sexual abuse of children demands the death sentence
  12. Having helped a few Thai widows over the years, there are frequently problems. One husband died unexpectedly and his fears that his wife would, at some later date, upon his demise most likely donate most of her money to the local wat and monks came true, Another husband set up a Will requiring the executors to make regular monthly payments to the wife for a period of 4 years after which she could have the rest as a lump sum, hoping that the family predators would have gone away.. The family however had another idea. They found their own lawyer, advised there was no will, and the deceased had no family, and the wife/widow walked away with everything. (As I understand it, she lost most of it to the family in a very short space of time) Does the OP not have a work related pension?. In most cases wives, and more often than not, partners, can receive a pension of around 50%, sometimes reduced where there is an age difference of more than 10 years
  13. Fair to say that anyone who deliberately murders has mental problems.
  14. I've said it many times before. Guns and other deadly weapons in public warrant a 10 year prison sentence The use of such weapons, or threatened use - regardless of the outcome -should carry a death sentence
