No you haven't been building houses out in the 40c sun for 10 years, sorry. It might have taken you 10 years to do some simple building project others could do in a couple days (as shown)

 

You have shown 1 simple project

 

Pretty arrogant of you to compare that to someone who spends their entire life out in the direct sun cutting crops

 

Not sure how laying tile indoors is the same thing?

 

Odd thing is there is no photos of you doing anything?

Does anyone know what the latest traffic situation is?

 

We're due to drive to Suvarnabhumi airport from Hua Hin today and Google is saying 3h 48 min avoiding "road closures on route 35.” (normally takes less than 3 hours).

 

Anyone driven that way this morning? Is it still closed?

was  going to drive up today  but seeing that <deleted>efest  will  go  later in the week

As far as being lazy, lets see you and your wife survive this for one 10 hour day when it is 40c outside!

Heres  where  many make the mistake with ME  that I  tell them (staff) what to do..I dont Im out there doing it, day in day  out for  over 10  years, building houses,  digging trenches,  laying  block ,welding roofs, weeding, in 40c  sometimes where you  burn your knees  on the steel but  closing in on 60 its  getting harder for me, saying that the  youngsters have no gumption.

You get used to it and its  NOT that  hard you  just get on with it, first thing I  look for in new workers  is  calloused  hands  like mine, often theyre  puppy  soft so i  know they havent done any manual work. Its me doing the work  the staffs  only  job is either to mix  the concrete ( concrete  mixer) and bring it  to me or cleaning up  tools  after Im done.

Only thing I couldnt do was the rendering which I got some locals  in for.

Some of the recentish things Ive done built a  garage 12 mx4, did everything and  finally laid  tiles . None of them have much in the way of  skills I  just want someone to keep it tidy  bring and fetch stuff pass me things so their work is often watching me and nothing else, until I need a new  mix  or  cleaning  up but its  me laying the tiles  grouting putting up ceilings etc.

Must have been richer them most .

Many people can only afford bamboo huts .

Bamboo huts where you can see through the "wall"

Those block houses would be luxurious for some and BTW , not a good idea to use one of those stoves inside , can cause death 

And  those  "poor" ALL have  a phone, never  seen staff without one ever.

Do you really think these folks can afford to travel?

Do you  really think I  have no experience............right  now theres a  huge  amount of  those  "poor"  conning employers  that if they pay ther travel fares  down they will  come mostly for farm work, read ome of the facebok "wanted "  ads  for workers............guess  what, they get sent the money and dont show. 

As  I mentioned I  have  had  people   on this forum tell me they have someone good  for the job, Ive paid the fares  down, theyve been useless.

When they do turn up "if  they do" they arrive with nothing, want paying daily, which we do, they get through about 2-3  months max then off they go...........later youll find out they have no  job again form relatives in the village.

I would think that Thai construction workers would really want the U.Ks health and safety measures and drivers would prefer   road safety measures and the whole Country would want breathable air .

   The U.Ks economy has been up and down in the last 100 years , as have Asian Countries economies .

   The Thai cost of living is just expensive for Thais , those earning 350 Baht per day , as the U.K cost of living .

   Thais pay less tax, , but just look at their terrible roads and pavements and schools and everyone taking bribes to supplement their meagre pay , because tax payers don't pay enough tax

No, what Thais  want is everything the UK  has  without the costs

Just now, Mac Mickmanus said:

Which are those laws that you are referring to ?

I would say that the citizens of nearly  all Asian Countries would prefer the U.K's political system , rather than their own 

Start with health and safety, they may well want a different political system but the facts are  whilst Asian economies  have boomed the Uk's  has  stagnated. and is  in decline for more than a century.........would Thais also want the UK costs  of  living the Uks  laws  enforced particullarly  on the roads, would the Thais  like to finance that through tax as many here dont pay tax  at  all. The UK is  over regulated and stifled to death.
