How do you know that he doe not help people? By the way the people are not "his" people.

Hear, hear!

What do you know about his charitable contributions, then?

Isn't he the one who took the risk and put up all the capital and debt that gave them jobs and eventually put him in his present financial position? What make you think that his employees only get B350 per day and get no decent salary increases?

Why investigate the source of the funds of someone who, in his position, is not unusually wealthy?

Why should he. Have you? Do you think that he should give away his hard-earned until everyone who hasn't bothered to get any hard-earned has the same as him?

For what? What has he done?

Why not?

"Refunds just about always credited to my Thai bank within 2-5 days...". Using a debit card, yes? Refunds on a debit card go directly to the bank account. Refunds on a credit card go to the card account, not to the bank account.

Thailand Post tracks it until it arrives in Australia, then the subsequent tracking info comes (or more likely doesn't come) from Australian Post.

Which one? There are many branches on Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok.

"...to the costumers". Maybe those making or supplying costumes should take a break at night then they wouldn't be bothered! Are there a lot of them around Jomtien?

New Year traditions.

Or just be looking!

What's that got to do with it?

What should his benefit cheques be "garnished" [sic] with, a nice bit of salad, a sprinkling of parsley or slice of lemon or just a splodge of ketchup? Having them garnisheed would be a better idea.

Because it is of interest and why shouldn't it be mentioned in articles in English-speaking media aimed at foreigners?

No, it, literally, is not.

It's a manufacturing joke. But because the hotel is losing money, it's not zero, it would add up to a bigger and bigger loss with each booking. The hotel that is being charged 100% commission wouldn't be losing money on the booking, it just wouldn't be making any so it would remain at zero! Having said that, it will never happen as the 100% commission claim is, obviously, false.

They make it up in volume... Ah, that must be it, lots and lots of "0 money" soon adds up...to exactly "0 money".

You're saying that, at the top of the commission range, the owners of those properties do not make any money at all from the bookings? 100% is the entire booking cost. How can that be?

It wasn't a spelling mistake, they are two completely different words!

Pedantic, I know, but in the linked article it states that he stepped out from the central island, so any oncoming traffic would be from his left. You're right and not at all pedantic but, having said that, I didn't make any judgements about the pedestrian in this case, I was commenting only on the terrible "crossing the road advice" that would generally apply!

Very fair law for the junta!!! The law was there before the junta!

Songkran, as in " water splashing", is not going to be all month, just the traditional three days. The Shinawatra child's idea was binned as ridiculous. The rest of the month is proposed to be celebrated with cultural b0llocks.
