I walked to work for 3 years 3 miles each way daily at 18, remember walking on the canal in some winters it was frozen that thick to save money to get a car, did the same at school when all my friends got the bus I saved the fares, to buy a bike.. Ddint get the bus once in 5 years. Worked some <deleted>ty part time jobs for pocket money as a kid (15-16 yrs old) one of the hardest was Safeway supermarket starting at 6 am to 10pm at night, stacked shelves, did the tills ran round like a crazy thing having to check prices when labels were missing, 30 mins lunch that was it. Did saturday jobs once I got the push bike, even that was 8 miles away. Nothings free and nothing comes easy, free from debt my entire life due to diligence and graft. Brought up in UK through the 1-10 unemployed period late 70.s early 80.s.use d to go for job interviews and there'd be maybe 80 people waiting for an interview for some rubbish job. Did those to save money to go self employed, which I finally did Some of the older Thais know the meaning of graft.

There is actually more sense in that answer than most others, food is very easily grown here due to the year round clinate, seed to veg in weeks always amazed at the speed of cucumber growth here, they dont have to cope with a winter whereas Europeans would have months where nothing wou;ld grow requiring more planning, many still own rural but abandoned land, plenty been abandoned round here for that city job, they dont have to pay much if anything in the way of property tax . That said many people wordlwide dont save any more, think that good times are always going to be here, short sighted is the norm, nuts Shelter can be minimal.

Cant afford it , dont buy it, bicycles are cheap, Thai way borrow more than you earn then fail to make payments yet they all seem to be sporting more expensive phones when a dumb phone is cheap. You dont need a phone to work in the fields where there are many jobs available. Field workers get transported usually by pick up from the boss man. Jobs are theere Thais dont want them.

Had two implants 12 years ago in the uk from a dentist i TRUST, Not had any problems with them at all still going strong, great things. Its harder in an upper rear jaw due to lack of bone may require bone graft. Cost back then wa s about 1800 quid each...I also had iv sedation for it and there was ZERO pain, great things. Id go for the ones which arent stuck in in one day, the ones where they let the bone inetgrate with the implant and finsih the tooth after about 5 months.

"bellowing eh" I believe BELLOWING looks like this........however, there is WORK available and you seem to be changing the subject now from no work available, my point, if i need to explain it is many dont want any work they want EASY (bellowing) work........when theres no work whats the better choice..no work no money, I resent the word "servant" my kid aint a servant he can leave anytime he wants. Here's the "servant" being subdued in Hua Hin couple weeks ago where we go for a weekly trip out....... now lick my boots clean boy..a phrase he always loves to hear from the master.

As stated "adapt or die" .if you can only do one job u may as well. All thos e metnioned by you could easily work on the land where there is a huge demand for workers. Is it better to have no job and whine about it with no money or a job possibly with less money but some dignity. Theyre lazy simple as that. Have you any experience of finding someone to work on the land..even as a caretaker where a lot of downtime is normal? MY one lad gets 15k a house ,electric, water, food, fish, motorbike 2 hours for lunch. 7-11 then 2-5 he does the work with ease with 3 fingers missing. His salary rise to 16k end of this year, rural location............meanwhile Thais all round whinge and moan they have no work , our neighbours with land also say the same.cant find any staff amongst all those unemployed, the going rate is 500 a day. What they want is to be a security guard so they can sleep all night for 12 k. Thats the reality. Even had a cleaner once years ago, took her 4 hours to clean my house 50m2, I do it myself in 1 hour, thats another story entirely though....time and motion. What I do see now is everyone and his friend opening a roadside stall selling food, mostly junk food for the remaining farm workers /construction crews, most of them overweight, another job where they barely get any income and can sit down all day, theyd rather do that than get a d ecent regular higher income.

Theres many who simply dont want to work.....Ive offered jobs to people and they either dont show or are bone idle on arrival... over a 10 year period, many of their ideas of work are do 2-3 days then [iss it all up the wall on beer, stay home until sober then go do the same thing again, lack any work ethic and as soon as your backs turned they sit down. Found two decent people over a 10 year period, rest are useless.
