  1. Only the grey ones, white ones to remain tariff free.
  2. Doesn't look radically different to, say, the UK..... Consumer Price Index (CPI): The CPI tracks the average change in prices over time of a fixed basket of goods and services that Thai households typically purchase. The basket includes categories like: Food and beverages Housing and utilities Transportation Medical care Education Recreation Communication Weighting System: Each category is given a weight based on household spending patterns, updated periodically through household expenditure surveys. For example, food may have a larger weight than recreation because it’s a bigger part of the average household budget. Types of CPI in Thailand: Headline CPI: Includes all items in the basket, including volatile prices like food and fuel. Core CPI: Excludes volatile items (like fresh food and energy) to reflect underlying inflation trends. Data Collection: Prices are collected monthly from thousands of outlets across the country, including shops, markets, and service providers. Inflation Rate Calculation: Inflation is typically reported as the year-on-year (YoY) change in the CPI (e.g., comparing prices in April 2025 with April 2024). Monthly and quarterly changes are also tracked.
  3. Agree.....totally trust worthy profession......may be a bone spur specialist could issue the letter.
  4. You never read it did you?......read the last line.
  5. Thai Citizens Demand Government Action as Inflation Skyrockets ??????
  6. I suspect he was suggesting that Farage would never have said something so inflammatory and potentially racist .......rather than whether it is true no one speaks English in London.
  7. In Thailand, there is no official minimum duration that a couple must be married before applying for a marriage-based visa extension (Non-Immigrant O visa extension based on marriage to a Thai national). However, there are practical considerations that can affect approval. No Legal Minimum Marriage Duration: The law does not require you to be married for a specific number of months before applying. Technically, you can apply as soon as you’re legally married and meet the other requirements. If you apply shortly after getting married (e.g. just 3–4 weeks), immigration officers may scrutinise your application more closely to ensure the marriage is genuine and not solely for visa purposes. While it’s legally possible to apply soon after marriage, waiting a couple of months and collecting strong documentation can significantly increase your chances of approval.
  8. Considering the staggering number of thumbs down you continually receive for your posts I'm surprised you don't keep your head down.....5555 Nigel Farage has made several remarks expressing discomfort with the prevalence of non-English languages spoken in London and other parts of the UK. In a 2014 speech, he stated that in many areas of England, “you don’t hear English spoken any more,” describing the country as having become “unrecognisable” due to immigration. He recounted a specific experience on a commuter train from Charing Cross, noting that he didn’t hear English being spoken until the train had passed several stops. He admitted this made him feel “slightly awkward” and “uncomfortable,” explaining that he doesn’t understand foreign languages and thus feels uneasy in such situations. Farage has also criticized Uber drivers in London for not speaking English and lacking knowledge of the city, contrasting them with traditional black cab drivers who undergo rigorous training. Additionally, he has argued that NHS workers who cannot speak English properly should not be employed, emphasizing the importance of a common language for effective communication in healthcare settings. Yes....I made it up.
  9. We'll find out in 2028.......although I suspect Reform will crash and burn well before then.
  10. Woman in our village, sat in the back of a truck, was hit be a car coming out of a side road.......the driver was drunk and uninsured.......she was left paralysed from the waist down........received a heartfelt apology.......that was it.
  11. Which all counts for nought as long as he continually shouts from the roof tops about 'the boats', five star hotels and no one in London now speaks English..........pandering to the UK version of the MAGA cult.
  12. That being the case all the authorities have to do present their evidence, 'in camera' if necessary, and job done.
  13. The US has laws decided by the courts......what are you on? Do you know nothing about how congress and the judiciary function?
  14. OMG....no wonder she wanted to keep her shoes on.....
  15. The Independent could have shortened it to...... He panders to the worst prejudices of the uneducated masses simply to garner votes and get into power.....exactly as Trump did.
  16. Beats me how he doesn't get suspended half the time.....he trolls from dawn till dusk
  17. Why is 'woke'....because it doesn't respond with biased, right wing vitriolic nonsense?
  18. Thai Families Turn to Pawn Shops I've been spelling it wrong all these years.
  19. Just bought a TCL for our restaurant (eatery really) ......much cheaper than the LG in the house, but the screen seems much brighter, sharper....well impressed
  20. They usually flash their lights to say eff u I coming through.
  21. The master of razor sharp wit and ready repartee.......I concede.
  22. I guess "Big Balls" sounds much better and more succinct than...."I haven't started shaving yet"
  23. And praise the Lord...ones from which he has made a remarkable recovery......
