What I remember of the Spice Girls in their heyday was seeing them perform live on a TV show --a 5 girl group -- but they still had on stage and used back-up singers.

They were  just  more manufactured krap. They get  little  respect from me   unless they can write and play the instruments, Im sure that worries them though. I dont rank Elvis either for that reason, popuar as they may have been.

Todays fad  tomorrows  nobodies.......they of course write  all their  own music, play all the instruments and  will be remebered in 5? 10? 20 years......no didnt think so.

Manufactured drivel for the mass  market  teenyboppers,  no doubt successful currenty like the brief fad of The  Spice  Girls  but  long term  nothing, No creative abiltiy such as Lennon MCartney, Brian Wilson, George Michael . Mozart Bach etc

A child will learn fire hurts.

 

But  I think there is a clear difference between a self directed action such as you have described. And a physical punishment imposed on a child by an adult. 

 

 

disagree, any pain makes you think twice regardless of its  source whether right or  wrong self  inflcited or not.

There  is a  clear difference between the fire and the  punishment but the fact remains you remember due to the pain.

It is a proven fact that physical punishment does not improve learning

So  if a kid  puts  his  hand in a fire he wont learn anything?

Why are you so intent on keeping people in a Caste system and belittling them, you want workers, well then hire outsiders from the other 4 countries who want the specific job your hiring for, or is it a job only a Thai can do.  If so then you better up the wages, provide housing and direction and when they fail to do what is asked then you let them go.  The world is full of people who do not want the menial jobs, why do you thng the Hispanics come from Mexico to the US and pick the crops.....that's right most white folks do not want to do that job and then the other minorities look upon it as slavery.....try again.

Youre the one insisting  the "poor"  have no work yet blindly ignoring the fact there is work available and any work is  better than no work,  In other words  talking ballcocks........ plssssssssssssssss dont bother trying again,  do everyone a  favour

Interesting, but not relevant to this thread: "Electric Vehicles in Thailand".

You think the cost of electric in Thailand is  not going to go up? And I did mention UK.

Id be concerened  about warranty, dissappearing with change of  owner? and rust shouldnt  all cars be now galvanised?

Checkout also this real Russian  review at this point  

The  gap  on running costs  is  closing dramatically with electric  cars in the UK 

Interesting test of  self  parking, but later  am sure this  will become the norm for  full  on driving too.

they dont have the heating bills of brits and krauts that will break the bank this winter ,savings will be gone

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.

Were I work we need 50 positions to fill.

We pay double award wage with generous conditions on top but very few takers.

Had 15 start on Monday gone.... Tuesday only 3 of them showed up.

sounds  normal from what Ive seen, lacking  in any work ethic. Ive done many a job I didnt  want to over the years as Id rather  have  savings  than owe anything to anyone.

Adapt to what exactly?

The other posters  stated they  seem only to be able  to work in tourist industyr  jobs....so they should  adapt  to work on the land instead if  no other work's available.instead  all  I hear is whinging that  they are  poor and got  no work. The works  there they just dont want it.

Another degrading post advocating for Thai's to go work the fields and not buy things that keep them connected to society or give them the ability to see things other than riding a bicycle....you sir are a true peach.  Again saying Thais don't want jobs, what they do not want is to work what they feel are degrading menial jobs meant for those that live beneath others.  It is not a caste system here, and people want to move up if they can. Yes debt does play a part in life, not all are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

Yeah whats more degrading having no  job with  no  money or  having a  job with  money. Get  off  your  moral high  horse  Mr saviour of the "poor"

Yes ridiculous things like communication or transport certainly things people like them don't require. They should just walk everywhere and only use one of the many public telephones.

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.

So it is a personal servant and groundskeeper you are bellowing about that are hard to find.  That has always been and always will be a problem sir.  Finding staff for a company is also a stiff one in finding ones that will fit in.  I hired a Thai housekeeper 3 years ago and after 3 months let her go as she would not do what was expected, I did not whine about it like you are, instead I hired an older lady from Myanmar whose family had worked with my GF's family.  I pay her 20k a month, and that includes her room and board, so she is well paid.  The woman starts cleaning at 6 am, and has always gone above and beyond what is needed.  She is given from Saturday night at 6pm to Monday morning at 6am as her time off each week to spend with her family. The only issue I ever had with hiring a non-Thai was having to hire an agent to do the proper paperwork to list me as the employer and list her as my employee, something you do not need to do when hiring a Thai.  We all have our crosses to bare, but finding good help has been the norm across all industries.

"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.

same  old  krap , year in year  out...............maybe they think the local governers  forget and need  this  yearly reminder.

At least if a dam breaks they can use  fat toad face to  block  the hole

Especially all those lazy people who used to work in the decimated tourist industry, whose jobs were lost and destroyed by the current government.

 

You know the ones. The girls that worked in the bars, the businesses who supplied the alcohol, soda and soft drinks, the people who used to deliver it, the people who used to work supplying food, the security staff, the car parkers, the guest houses and the small hotels, the shops that used to sell to tourists, the taxi, motosai and tuk tuk drivers etc. The bar, guest house and small hotel owners.

 

My bitter sarcasm and rant is over for a while.

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.
