Best hope for satisfactory outcomes !

The dilemma seems to have resolved itself albeit in a sad way. I am still left wondering how a woman with no assets such as land etc gets to 1 million bht in debt in the first place? Even loan sharks need some degree of collateral !

I can understand that the Thai Government would like to tax "earnings" of people resident in Thailand but for those who are here longer than 183 days therefore deemed tax residents but who are drawing on pensions or savings that presumably are already taxed at source then as an inflow of foreign exchange every dollar, Euro, shekel of whatever is already a net gain to Thailand and it's economy. Tax or no tax that money is already injected.

They forgot to factor in the claim that the magnetic pole is apparently moving too. I feel better now I have been given a reason to think time was accelerating as I got older ! My birthdays seem to get closer together every year!

If such suggested "legal " casinos were of the type and scale of those just across the borders to Cambodia or Myanmar then quite possibly very large amounts of Thai bht will stop exiting Thailand. That may not be popular with the investors in those neighbouring domains. The internal illegal enterprises might suffer a bit but most of the "local" gambling is small scale although prolific. High rollers are few but debts are many and large !

Allegedly Japanese? How disappointed some many must be was not Russian or Chinese.

Despite some high profile incidents in various other places the US boasts the highest number of nuclear reactor accidents. It seems perverse to predict a problem in Thailand even before a large reactor exists. Have never heard of any issues with the small research facility in Bangkok that has been there since 1962.

As yourself a self declared intellectual can you please explain "more equal" ? It seems to be an expression on a par with such as "bigly".

"Human like" with a driving license? Maybe a slip of the tongue sort of thing . Lets' blame it in AI !

You have?

Recently had a couple very pleasant conversations with a middle aged Chinese tourist staying in the same hotel . he spoke English very well but showed a degree of limited vocabulary . However he did express disappointment in the current "mood" in mainland China . But nothing about him suggested any "devious/ deviant" motives as suggested by many Chinaphobes . Certainly no more so than the devious/deviants of any other nationality so prolific in Thailand already.
