Magictoad replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I see no reason why not. Are.you just perennially negative about government directives? -
Report Phuket Residents Outraged by Tourists' Public Intimacy Displays
Magictoad replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Go to the perpetrators' apartment, knock on the door, explain the problem to them. If they are reasonable people they will stop their antics. -
But how do you know the answer is really correct if you haven’t done the research yourself?

Are Trump's intentions positive, or is he just unhinged?
Magictoad replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
I don't think he's unhinged. Just hated with an incredible amount of animosity directed towards him especially since he won the election - humiliating the Democrats and exposing them for what they are. If he's unhinged where does that leave the Democrats? -
It used to be a common thing in the 60s. London to Sydney overland, dog and all! The vehicle of choice was a VW bus....Picking up slabs of hashish in Afghanistan and then selling it in London or Sydney.

Accident Horror as 15-Year-Old Boy’s Hand Mangled in Meat Grinder
Magictoad replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
Accidents happen. Young people get injured too not just adults. 16 YO is the minimum age to work in the UK. Nobody needs a "Special permit". We need money to buy food to put on our family's table. All the more so in Thailand I should think. -
Nobody: it's all BS and hysteria. The only people working illegaly are Burmese & Chinese who fit in visually. NOT farang who do not fit in. Even if they are running a bar or club they ALWAYS remain seated leaving the work to the Thai staff. As soon as they lift a finger to do any work they get busted immediately and reported.
-
It's virtually impossible for a farang/ foreigner to work illegally or run a business here. The foreigner will be grassed up, touted on or nformed on within days. They stand out like a sore thumb. Chinese or Burmese can work easily because they can meld into the population. But no chance your for average European. I think these stories are BS and or highly exaggerated.

Is your partner other than Thai?

Cockerell = a fighting chicken. A male hen. Cock fighting is very popular in Thailand. It's even on TV. -
Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Magictoad replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Covid/Vaccine
It's Americans who fall for this anti vax rubbish. Mainly because they are susceptible to baseless threats and wild rumours. Also because their health care system is privatised so the costs of vaccination plays a part in their beliefs. POLIO caused terrible damage to children and adults until the vaccine wiped it out. MEASLES caused terrible damage to children and adults until it was eradicated by a vaccine. When I was growing up as a child in Manchester in Britain in the 60s I remember seeing these poor people in leg irons and leather strap. They were pitiful. I remember going for my vaccination as a child in a run down clinic in South Manchester. I remember being scared of the needle. But I was more scared of getting polio. We had the NHS in England then so important vaccination were free. Thank God. I believe in vaccinations 100%. People who preach against vaccines are sick and doing damage to our society. -
I don't think everyone is a clueless idiot just because they choose not to integrate with the native population of any given country. Supposing I lived in Germany for a 10 years or Russia? Why should I bother to integrate with either peoples? It would make me the novelty and possibly force me into loads of unwanted conversations.
