Potential rise in minimum wage to 400 baht in select provinces
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
360 baht is 10 us dollars 400 baht is just over 11 dollars. I wonder how many posters on this forum could live in Thailand on that wage? This is my effort to show all of you the reality of minimum wage. you are welcome. -
Until a rail line has no crossings and is totally elevated, there can be no high speed railway in Thailand. Can you imagine the damage woud be if a high speed train hit a large vehicle? the only other solution would be to have many under passes developed. This is Thailand after all, and we all know how well people treat the regular train crossings. Just my opinion of course.

4 year old boy falls to his death from 23rd floor of Bangkok condo
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Why would the door to the balcony be unlocked? 23 floors up and the adults did not think that a 4 year old may not see any danger? It is tragic that a small child had to die. -
Thai man and transwoman arrested on child porn charges
stargrazer9889 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It does not matter if the guy was only 7 years older, this is a Pedo, event. Some posters think foolishly if they think it is not. Quit living in fantacy. Child porn is terrible and changes the life of the victim a lot. My sister lost her self esteem and confidence after she was raped. My one cousin committed suicide as well. People who support pedophiles as sick in the head in my opinion. -
Swiss Man Admits Killing Missing Thai Wife: Police
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I hope he either dies in a Thai jail, or gets the death sentence and dies quicker. That is my opinion of course. RIP to the Thai woman, she did not deserve to be killed. -
Taiwanese Man Arrested in Pattaya for Overstay and Money Laundering
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Do the police come to every expats address? If you are not a criminal, they have no reason to do that. Why would they go to this guys address if he was NOT a criminal, huh? Kit gup Samong, Na Krup. -
You can own your own condo in Thailand, and even if the condo fees rise, it will not be like the increases in rent. If you are lucky to have a Thai wife, then owning a house in her name is possible as well. Renting is for people who cannot save, and live constantly beyond their means. I see many of them in Canada as well as other parts of the world.

Thailand aims to become Asian aviation hub, says prime minister
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Airports are very expensive to build and maintain. Is Thailand wanting to be a maintanence hub? That is a very precise line of work, with a verh high standard of safety, and highly skilled Ircraft engineers needed as well. Just saying. -

stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The world economy is not in great shape. I do not see other countries glowing from their great economy either. IMO. -
Immigration System Malfunction Causes Passenger Backlog
stargrazer9889 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I usually have good luck in Thailand, and the staff work pretty hard. Handling a bunch of crotchity old grumps, like some of you posters, would drive me to drink. I had worse luck in Vancouver, BC Canada. Long wait and bad attitudes plus freezing temperatures. We all need the airports to get to our chosen tropical destinations. -
In Canada the Federal government is trying to get everyone to buy EVs and heat pumps. Edmonton alberta has lots of new EV buses that will not work in the cold weather of Winter, and heat pumps are useless below minus 25C. EVs are okay in hot climates, but my Thai relatives say that they charge too slow. Do lots of research before going green, that is my advice.

Thai herbs: Nature’s secret weapon against deadly PM2.5 dust
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Trying to get Thailand to change is like spitting into the wind. I cannot see how a pill will help the air pollution. I guess I am suspicious. Someone says why bother. If you jump from an airplane and use a parachute, you may have a soft landing. No parachute, and you go Splat. That is why some people make a effort. See the math.? -
Spread the word! More Brits in Thailand can now vote in the UK
stargrazer9889 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My Brit friend moved to Thailand over 20 years ago, because he was tired of hearing the local mosque doing their 5AM wake up call. His whole neighborhood was taken over by those immigrants. He advised me to visit Scotland, where I had a better chance to see real Scots. Maybr next June I will make a visit.
