Catch 22? Large undocumented, cheap labour force keeps wages suppressed below a level Thai's find acceptable. However, the cheap labour force isn't quite big enough. So now you are stuck.......you can't raise wages as you are running a cheap, low wage economy to maximize profits, which means you can't attract Thais. Also raising wages when you have so many cheap laborers will cost a fortune and wipe out profits. The only solution is to allow even more cheap labour in, keeping Thais constantly unemployed, but profits up.

Will B Good replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Woke up his wife? She must have been well gone to not hear the fight and a gun shot......very odd?? I reckon she must have been gutted when she realized it was her husband who came upstairs. -

She was madly in love with the Thai victim, gone out for the night as part of the plot to rub out her husband and then claim his estate. The Thai guy cocked up big style. OR The Swiss guy found out about his wife's lover, lured the Thai guy into the house and setup the whole thing up to look like a break-in gone wrong. OR The Swiss guy could just be telling the truth!!!- 498 replies

TAT to collect 500 baht from tourists in 2022
Will B Good replied to Pravda's topic in General Topics
I imagine 99.9% of tourists won't even know about this until presented with a demand for payment. So first time around TAT will get away with it, second time around people might just be put off. Family of five.....suddenly an extra 2,500 taken out of their spending money.....might make them look elsewhere the following year. -
Yes...seems very odd. Isolate in a household that doesn't isolate ????

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/travel-covid-red-list-b1931308.html The UK’s travel red list is to be shrunk significantly to as few as nine countries within days, according to reports. There are currently 54 nations on the list, which enforces strict quarantine rules and huge fees on travellers from regions deemed the highest Covid risk. From Tuesday, the UK’s current green, amber and red categories will be streamlined to just two lists: red and Rest of World (ROW.)

Just found out the wife is has signed a contract to have a three bed house built and it is about 20% finished!! All her money, so I am not too miffed, but it would have been nice to have been involved at an earlier stage!!! However, that aside, could anyone advise on.... 1. Damp course. Should I insist upon one? The builder says it is not needed and if he has to put one in he won't honor the insurance policy. It is a single skin wall. 2. The insurance only applies for two years.......is that typical? UK is 10 years I think. 3. There is no spec' for roof insulation in the loft space.......what would you recommend? I am conscious of creepy crawly things setting up home and wonder how to insulate the space, but still prevent unwelcome guests. 4. Window frames have yet to be ordered. Is UV PVC the best or aluminum or.........? 5. Floor tiles are yet to be ordered......anything we should know? Glazed/unglazed, rough/smooth, what material??? 6. Anything else regarding "inside information" on any building matters/materails would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any responses.
