  1. well we arent getting it right at the moment, are we? may as well try something radical and new....... And potentially make the situation worse? People have a right to live wherever they wish......No they don't, not since national boundaries were established in order to protect a nation's citizens.....(Russia/Ukraine?) The planet belongs to all of us and none of us at the same time. Do you think you should have more rights to travel and relocate over someone who was born in say Somalia or Syria? ........In the sense that I have no intention of remaining in someone else's countries unless allowed to, then yes, I have more rights. Nations have to maintain stability for the safety of its citizens......and key to that is controlling mass migration. Allowing free movement could only work where everyone on Earth enjoyed equal benefits......income/welfare/healthcare/human rights......etc
  2. Free movement for everyone? What do you imagine might be the consequences?
  3. Hardly surprising. Policy on the hoof, with no serious consideration given to a policy's wider impact, is not good governance.
  4. Wow.......just wow!........Read the room for God's sake. In his defense he must know Putin would rather poke something sharp in his eye rather than be seen here.
  5. Maybe a small hub of sub-committees .....although that would need to be mulled over first
  6. Just what I've been thinking......soi 4 to soi 11 too manic and noisy.....why stay right in it all. Think we'll move out Thong Lo way in future when we travel down.
  7. BTS ticket area last night.....Thong Lo......6pm......not many stood still.
  8. Can't wait for the digital wallet app............... 50 million Thais trying to get their 10,000 baht......555
  9. I'd avoid putting up curtains ......not the climate for it even if you keep the aircon on 24/7. We put up 13 pairs last year.....all sun bleached now.
  10. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried
  11. It begs the question, which Russians are 'allowed' by their employers to have a 90 day holiday.....NONE. So the main beneficiaries of a 90 day visa will the unemployed, drug dealers, thugs and draft dodgers.........glad I live in the middle of rice field (for once)
  12. Grim......streets are busy yet the bars, shops and restaurants are relatively empty. Lot of drug dealers, beggars and hookers of every type plying their trade on the street. Gangs of Indian males, lots of Chinese/Japanese/Arab couples and families......the type that walk about, don't go into bars and buy food to eat in their hotel room. Gone are the days of young looking, attractive bar girls, anxious to please. Some bars, the average bar girl must be well into their 40's and 50's.....and look it.
  13. If this were viable in terms of generating a 'profit' for the nation, every nation would be doing it. Having made made such a rash and stupid promise (with no detailed planning on how it would work or be funded) this is now a massive Thai face saving operation......for which Thais and expats will have to pay.
  14. If this were true why isn't every country doing it and doing it on a regular basis? This has corruption and inflation stamped in big red letters all over it.
  15. My money is on Middlesbrough.....need to keep that on the QT.
  16. I always do what the wife tells me to do.......risks associated with doing otherwise are too high.
  17. Unlike Brits, Yanks and Aussies who all conform so readily to their adopted nation's ways.....555
  18. Wow.....long time since I sat in a theatre.......10 years?.....but everyone almost jumped to attention at that time.
  19. When "accuracy is not a concern" everyone is a target.
  20. ????.......no 'way'.............got to get stuff like this sorted......555 Walking it's okay, but use it all the time driving around Bangkok......one turning error and you could add an hour to a 30 min journey.
  21. Thanks....language not a problem. To also adjust the text language go to Settings > App language........is that the Phone 'settings' or Google maps 'settings'?...... All the settings for Google maps read English
  22. Google maps, android phone, navigation/directions. Voice is set to English, works fine, but directions in text have suddenly, of their own accord, switched to Thai. How do I change the text back to English? Any instructions will have to clear and concise so even an idiot can follow them.
