British man fined 5,000 baht for naked stroll on Krabi beach
JGV replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
They should have made it 20,000 Baht - He wouldn't do this on a beach in UK - I am embarressed to admit that I am British - very disrespectful behaviour and I am not a prude - there is a time and a place - St Tropez probably - I was there in the mid 70s and camped on a nudist beach but kept my shorts on- 114 replies

Illegal migrant labour and sex work challenge Thailand’s tourism
JGV replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I was intrigued by the observation that illegal workers involved in the tourist industry particularly in Pattaya have a greater command of English than local workers - this reflects on the abysmal education system provided by the government with regard to English proficiency and may indicate that the government is happy that the general public have poor language skills which eases their job in saving money and thus precipitates an obediant population -

Have been in Thailand continuously since 1993 - Lived In Sattahip for 29 years - Throughout that time I have always had a THai bank account I have always rented a property usually renewable yearly I have been married to a Thai woman and been divorced Last Friday I travelled to roi et province as my girlfriends family live there I had already arranged a new lease on a house in Roi Et I have a 1 year Retirement visa obtained in Pattaya last October I went to Bangkok Bank to transfer my account to the local branch in Roi Et Firstly the bank told me they can't do it until I get a form from Immigration - did that 500 Baht lighter - I asked is that the only thing i Need - she said yes that is all Next day arrived at bank with form , passport, bank book - was told by some snooty matron like woman that was not enough and that I needed the land document of my girlfriends parents - an original document - rather irrate I said what if I came alone - she said that they wouldn't give me a bank account after 30 years with a Thai bank account and a i year visa and the permission form form Immigration Anyone at there explain why this happened - JGV

china believes that taiwan is a part of china and therefore he sees actions by the taiwanese government as that of a rogue state - whether i agree or not it is sending a message to the thai country to support china's stance on the island or take the oppostance in supporting the us governments claim that taiwan is an independant country

What do you think is the biggest threat to humanity/civilization?

I recently went to Banglamung Amphur as I wrongly believed that they could assist in depositing my will and confirming what documents would be needed for my Thai partner to access my funds after my demise- The will has a Thai translation done by an officer in Thai Navy and the person at desk just said the office doesn't deal with farang wills only Thai and wasn't interested in a continued discussion I have heard about joint bank accounts and a ATM card as an alternative but I guess the partner would be acting illegally if withdrawing just after death - withdrawing just before death - in need of advice that will work - I am not currently sick and hope to live for a long time but my girlfriends position with regard to receiving my money which is my intention apears to be not straightforward here in Thailand - Advice Black Jack please

Scottish man becomes latest victim of Thailand’s perilous roads
JGV replied to snoop1130's topic in Krabi News
Tragic but self inflicted - He thinks he is Peter Fonda in Easy Rider but has no incite into driving a powerful motor bike - Tighten regulations about renting and buying a bike over 250cc and maybe fatalities will be reduced - male ego cause of death -

7-eleven demanding that staff pay back $ for their mistakes
JGV replied to Marvo's topic in General Topics
Reflects the fact that Thai governments do nothing to help workers being exploited by their employer alongside no consumer rights here at all - very backward style of government -
this nationalistic right wing ignorance enables thailand to stay as a 3rd world country - endemic is the status that moves the world forward to recognise that omicron covid isn't life threatening to those without comorbidities - these people call themselves an opposition party but should choose battles where they have a plan
