  1. Sorry guys but I never understood the vitriol for Thaksin. He's no worse than all the rest of them???? .
  2. I believe part of the deal is that Taksin will abstain from political office.. A lot of money will change hands too. Suitcases.
  3. Translation.. Thanatorn IS holding talks w/Taksin in HK
  4. I usually put clear silicone on any cracks. It will hold for a few yrs. If you put a new roof, be prepared for tons of asbestos dust. Unless you go for a tin roof. I would recommend to patch it and let younger generations inherit the problem.
  5. You assume the average Thai is a sharp political thinker and can see thru all this. A junta will come at some point but not now obviously...too early. In five to ten years and with totally different actors.
  6. No reason for the current elites to throw in the towel. Plus,... they have the ultimate card ,up the sleeve (to be used sparingly) The military coup. Btw..the new 'peogressive' elites will become as corrupt and scheming ,in due course. As if you haven't witnessed it in a myriad other countries
  7. I was reading some quotes by Sopenhauer earlier.. You don't wanna go there.????
  8. I predict a new form to fill up. 'Are you into organized crime'? ???? Btw...are you in the clear if you are into un-organized crime? ????‍♂️.. ..or is it dis-organized?
  9. Those dastardly last-minute cheaters.. Otherwise, you would go all-in .. Probably not. Nice excuse though..
  10. Any will do. The result is the same. Contentment and fearless of death.
  11. Suicide, assisted or not, us out if the question for me As is kanoodling with young prostitutes In case of incapacity, I do have a problem as I have no support mechanism here. I'm working on it though.. Death is a non- issue for me. One of the benefits of religion/Spirituality
  12. I would look at other (nearer) possibilities..Georgia, E Europe,, Turkey, Egypt maybe Their culture, food etc is way closer to us than Thailand. Yeah..even the Muslim ones. Also, bear in mind that you will have emergencies as you age. Suddenly, France is on the other side of the world and you are stuck in a Thai hospital with no friends/family ????
  13. ...until the criminals are arrested?????‍♂️ They may never get arrested.
  14. I never understood the thais' fascination with ' wate-foh'. ????
  15. Math prodigies don't fare too well either. She will probably end up a maths teacher ???? Like others have said, don't marry here and esp have kids. Thai culture is the exact opposite of our own ????
  16. Too many downsides and few upsides (to marriage) Being older, as most if us are, makes it even more pointless. As for the helper/nurse senario , I wouldn't trust a Thai to see me thru to my last days. I wonder how many old guys get the poison in the coffee treatment and we never hear abt it.
  17. My take...a glut of second hand vehicles won't mean a drop in prices (used or new) Thai logic. If anything,they might even raise prices ????
  18. It doesn't have to happen tomorrow.. I'm in the same predicament btw
