No, I am pretty sure we did not (almost everyone of us) land on the moon! Neil Armstrong, did!

He should just be arrested and sent to prison 20 years for that explanation! There are dumb, and dumber. There is even dumbest! I am sorry Mr Sukhee, you do not fit in any category.

No problem. It´s soon going to happen. Just let him die. It´s just going to be a small adjustment in the numbers.

For capital investment to be possible we need two scenarios. Both which you can forget really quickly First, people get work, save money, stop depending on one "breadwinner" and after invest in funds, stocks or insurances. Not gonna happen! Second, the government will implement a pension fund for all! For that to be possible, all Thais will have to work the legal way. All companies must register their employees and pay tax for them. Not gonna happen! So, then we have the handout of 10K. Is it positive or negative? In your world of thinking, it will be negative, as you have a much better scenario in your mind. Unfortunately, only in your mind, and living as a dream. I think it´s positive for poor people, and should only be given to poor people. I still stand by that almost 30 baht per day for a whole year, can make a difference for a person regarding the food situation. If a person get enough food, the person might have more energy, and be able to work or produce more......and so on..... But, I am well aware of that is also a dream scenario, as it just don´t work that way. That´s why I posted if used in the right way.

Sure! What you are talking about here is what they call baby swim. Not at all to be connected to knowing how to swim. What they do here, is taking wonderful photos of babies under water as the respiratory system at that age allows for such activities.

Not 100% sure, but could not find a more recent price.

No, you are totally wrong here. Also, you take a single case as a representation for the masses. There are not lots of rural poor people that have no access to shops. This system works in small village shops, exactly as it did during Covid. There are some rural poor people that are living far out in the field, disconnected from all other life. However, most of them have a family member that visits from time to time, so the bigger part of that problem could be solved as well.

Yes, I have a better idea. That is to build up a protective system like in most countries with gambling problem. Some people will always have problem with their habits. That´s called addiction, and should never be an excuse for not allowing a thing to exist.

I know you would get hooked again. You know, as well as I do, that most things is harder to get a result from as well as take longer time to do in Thailand. Can we end it with that?

Sure, if good for, then all fine. Just one note. If they say that EMS have an express version, they are lying. The whole point of EMS is, that it´s already express. The shortcut stands for Express Mail Service

As I said in another reply. This is Thailand, and that will make it harder.

No, I have not. It´s not at all common that 3 year old children can swim. Also, this is Thailand, and that makes it a little bit harder as all of us who lived here for enough time knows.

I am, as it seems that they overcharged you. They have EMS World, which for documents cost 550 baht. https://www.thailandpost.co.th/un/article_detail/article/11/8124

I am sorry. Not calling you a liar, but I have very hard to believe that.

Seems like you have a lot of experience in this field. How come the police wanted to question you soo frequently? I assume, that was not totally out of no reason at all. And, of course your lawyer tells you not to talk. That´s what they always do, as that is their way to protect you until enough evidence is piling up against you and there is time for a plea deal. That´s like why, they are called your lawyer, as they are there to protect you.

I think you totally misunderstood the whole point of the handout. It was to make people a little bit more self-sufficient as well as strengthen the personal economy situation. 10k handout to poor people, if used in the right way, can make a lot of difference. Unfortunately, they started taking about crypto wallet, but after that, just place it free to use directly in peoples bank accounts. That´s the big mistake, as many poor people also make poor judgement as well as have a drinking problem. Something that makes too much of the handout go that way. What they should have been doing, is to use the app system they already put in place before the 50/50 application. There they could see if people who applied were really eligible for a handout, they could control what it was spent on, by blocking alcohol and tobacco, as well as that system also gave small shops a big boost in sale and that way contributed to the business economy as well.

You would be surprised what 30 baht per day can do for a bad food situation for Thai people. Unfortunately, the money is used for too much alcohol instead.

Yeah, once again we are coming down to dealing with a problem, solving a conflict or just accept the outcome of a bad or negative result. No can do! Better take my own life!

Exactly! it´s to compare with heavy rain. All sensible drivers slow down, but not this idiot!

Just more unhinged people that can´t control their temper nor themselves. Totally lacking the capability to talk about a problem and reach a solution.

Most likely, just another case of bad parenting. Just to hear parents calling their own child for problem child is definitely pointing in that derection.

Really? My father was a swimming teacher during the time I was growing up. I learned to swim at an age of 7 years. Can you please tell me how they should teach a 3 year old to swim? Six year old, might be possible in the western world, but here it will go much slower. What they need to do, is to supervise their children, especially at the age of 3 and not leave them in care of an 11 year old. They also need to put fences around places that might be dangerous for children.

Why is this important, and why are soo many against making something that will benefit the country both financial and regarding employment opportunities? When are the people going to take charge of themselves and make sensible decisions if they should gamble or not. It´s time to stop blame the government and country, by trying to stop them from pushing the country forward. It´s time for all Thais to look at themselves and take control of their lives.

AAAeeeh? Wasn´t this in the top 3 of the worlds most popular destinations? People must truly be insane, for relocating to another country, and put themselves in a situation like this. Hey all Bangkok members! Don´t forget to take on you space suit before taking a stroll in the park.

No of course they wouldn´t. That´s why I answered @BritManToo, that they do not cancel visa or extensions on a whim, because they need a well grounded reason. Hopefully he get a bit humble after IDC check-in. Also, hopefully, they got some more this time and can prove enough evidence and circumstances to get him jailed. because the case is clear. Nobody that isn´t involved in a murder will be uncooperative, deny access to family members nor fail to report a loved one missing.
