Can you elaborate, remove from elections and force a coup. What has that got to go do with dealing with people who are refugees or fleeing oppression?

You could wear ear defenders.

Don't give them ideas. Xi will will use Trump's excuse to take over Canada and Greenland as an excuse and Xi will take over Thailand..

Again, I did not raise the issue of accessing the NHS. My comment was aimed that the person who said people who leave the UK should lose entitlement to all of the state pension. Also I did not raise the issue of paying UK tax but since you raised it it is blatantly unfair to pay UK tax and have no benefits in return. Since I access the NHS and get the annual increase then it doesn't really concern me personally. There seems to be far to many people who begrudge older people getting anything at all. Means testing is coming, just a question of when.

I didn't raise the issue of annual increases of access to the NHS, you did. I was arguing against the point that some people think that you shouldn't get the state pension at all if you don't live in the UK. So I will say again, if like I did paid NICs 54 years not be entitled to draw the state pension if not living in the UK. That is the point that some people object to. And since you raised it, if you continue to pay tax why shouldn't you be entitled to NHS and annual increases.

I forgot, they had a go at Viet Nam and got their arses well and truly kicked.

At least quote all that was said "hard working English Pensioners who have already have already paid into the system over many years". They were hard working when they paid the contributions. 54 years I contributed and it is so reassuring that now it is pay back time some people think I am and other pensioners are bone idle scum. There was post complaining about the poor hard up parents who send their kids to private schools having to pay 20% VAT and then there are those that think pensioners who leave the country should get **** all. What a sh**e hole the UK has become.

Tibet, India, Taiwan, South China Sea. Right no evidense at all.

I made contributions for 54 years. Why the **** shouldn't I get it. Hearing aid batteries worth thousands, They are some batteries.

We also have to pay tax for the Foreign Office. Is it not too much to ask that a British tax payer gets some help when they are in need of it.

Used to be 44. I paid for 54 and still people begrudge you getting it.

State pension is a benefit. It is the DWP by the way. It hasn't been the DSS since 2001.

Bol***ks. State pension is a benefit and every pensioner receiving it has every right to live where they like.

The state pension is a benefit. Any pensioner has every right to move to Thailand and receive the benefit. They are not parasites.

The only time in 45 years of travelling to Thailand that I needed any help was due to the Boxing Day tsunami. OK I know how bloody inconvenient it was that it happened early on Boxing Day morning interrupting their hangovers and late sleep ins but I couldn't really have arranged a more convenient time for the earth quake.

On the figures that I saw the death rate in the UK is .98%. The death rate in the Thailand for British citizens is .67%. Seems more British citizens need to go to Thailand to die and give the authorities back home a break.

The primary role seems to be create jobs for the boys and girls in a nice tropical location. Are they doing much advancing and securing of trade between the the UK and Thailand. How damned inconvenient for a third of 2007 people to die while in Thailand. Could they they have foreseen this and got on a plane back to the UK? 0.2 % of UK travellers needing consular support hardly seems substantial to me.

What utter, utter crap. Do the Thais seriously think other people believe this rubbish.

So the "whole" of phase 1 completion is now March 2026? "Yet, as of January, only 12.42% of civil works were completed" Who writes this bull<deleted>. Completing next year and less that 13% of the civils is complete. So 87% to go then all the non civils works to complete. Who the f**k is project managing this? Should that be March 2036? Now I know damn all about this Project except that it seems to have been going on for ever and that is the best explanation that they can come up with?

I usually stay on Sukhumvit and if driving to the airport or Pattaya I go up Asoke and right onto Phetchburi Road then left onto Thanon Phet Uthai. Then right under the Sirat Expressway but then not sure if there direct access onto the Expressway. I am sure on one occasion I found an access point. I usually finish up going along Rama 9 and pick up the Expressway where is runs very close to the ARL. I think is where the toll booth starts going the other way. Now I can go through the sois to soi 3 the get on the Chalerm Maha Nakhorn Expressway then pick up the Sirat Expressway. Is there access from from Thanon Phet Uthai the follow underneath the Sirat Expressway or not. I am sure I did once but I can never seem to find the access slip.

Lush seems a very strange store to be committing fraud in. Buying an iphone on somebody else's card I understand. Buying bath bombs hardly seems worth the risk.

What was the reason Britain just didn't take the other for states? May be a trade off over disputed territory between Burma and Thailand?

Can you confirm or correct my understanding but I thought the Southern state Sultan swore allegiance to the Thai King and it was that fact that gave Thailand the OK to go and annex the South states after Britain said that they have no interest in them?

I thought if you are deported then you have the choice of which country you are deported to. I am sure Turkey would have taken them. To say that volunteered to return to torture, imprisonment and death seems very unlikely. I think some of the Chinese dissadents on China's watch list had better scrub any plans to visit Thailand.
