And what's wrong with that? Immigration is only a problem if there are more immigrants than jobs, houses or the infrastructure needed to support them. Its not that long ago that Australia was actively running a programme seeking immigrants.

Really? I think you need to think about the clientele he'd be dealing with. In addition, I can't see a 16 year old making a good bar/restaurant owner anywhere - but in Pattaya? Definitely not. Such a person would be a rare beast indeed, most 16 year old's can't even speak these days - only text.

Successful people don't need to find a way to constantly slag others off - no matter what the subject. I tend to think that people who do that are really rather sad individuals.

Do you really need to ask that question?

Not necessarily. A suspended sentence is almost always conditional and the conditions usually order the offender to attend regular scheduled probation appointments. I note that his sentence also included community service - that is also likely to be a component of the suspended sentence. If it is considered that the offender is a 'flight risk', the suspended sentence may also prohibit them from leaving the UK without permission until the sentence is complete. Failure to comply with any of the conditions would almost certainly trigger the CPS to apply to the courts for an order to terminate the suspension and impose the original 2 year sentence. Courts almost always grant that application and it can be done in the offender's absence.

Speak to a lawyer. One foreign lawyer who runs a law firm in Thailand (using Thai lawyers) told me a long time ago that the law requiring you to state that the money belongs to your wife and you won't make any claim on it in future was deemed illegal long ago. I didn't ask for detail at the time but I'd take a guess that its because of clashes with the rules on marital assets (Sin Somros) and assets held before marriage (Sin Suan Tua). Not sure, could be some other reason but he said the rule was illegal although he was aware of some official departments still asking for such declarations.

So not only did she no know what was in her 46kg of luggage, she didn't either book any additional weight or pay for it at check in? Or is she claiming the additional bag (there must have been one because there is a 32kg per bag limit) was added after check in? If so her luggage receipt (sticker) will only show one bag and the bar code on it will correspond to the bag she checked in. If she can show that, she's home and dry but I suspect she can't and her story is pure BS.

I normally use Enterprise.

Hotels that rent cars? Not something I've heard of and if they do, I doubt they'll be competitive.

Very short on time and haven't read any of the posts that lead to this so I could be talking complete rubbish but I just want to point out that there is a difference between a UK Government Pension and a UK State Pension. I read an article some months back that stated that under the UK/Thai DTA a UK Government Pension (paid to ex government and public employees) would not be assessable for tax in Thailand whilst a State Pension is. Simply pointing out the difference between the two pensions which is often confused.

The rulings are contained within the bloody articles!!! Listen, it is common knowledge that Israel have broken/are breaking international laws - both criminal and humanitarian. There are arrest warrants out for both Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas. The fact is that Israel has broken/is breaking International Humanitarian Law as applicable to an occupying force. It has also broken the law on rules of combat that state that a civillian population must not be targeted. I've debated with people like you before and I'm pretty sure that even if I delivered the actual rulings to your door, you would not back down and apologise. I am quite happy that I am correct in that Israel have/are breaking both International Humanitarian Law and the rules on combat. I am not in the habit of debating facts with someone who, even if the law was in front of them, would still argue with it. I have work to do, thanks.

Yes

So there is no USA and never was also?

Why do I have no idea? I have provided you with an ICJ ruling!!!

They have stated as much yes - what's your point?
