  1. Not in his own mind but hopefully the next election will get rid of him for good.
  2. When you're as popular as a wet fart in a lift there's no other option than to join.
  3. I'd wager that the actual number of cases is alot higher than reported as personally know several people who have tested positive recently. They were all vaccinated and reported that symptoms were not bad, similar to a cold.
  4. Must have been 12 years at least since I applied for a Yellow Book at my local Amphur and at first they refused to issue one at all, wouldn't even begin the process. As I wanted an easy proof of address wifey agreed to call their head office in Bangkok. Bangkok said something about buffalo's in the village not knowing their job and gave our Amphur a call telling them what to do. It turned out the lady responsible in our office had no idea how to do it, was scared of making a mistake so not issuing one meant she wouldn't make a mistake. As soon as she knew the process I was issued my book within a week.
  5. Maybe the homeowners had house insurance that covered the damage.
  6. Considering it was at 55 before the Brexit debacle and 72 when I first arrived on these shores it ain't exactly good is it?
  7. If you have a Pink Card or Yellow House Book entering your id number on that may be worth a try.
  8. If they want to save electric then starting with Govt Offices would be a great start. Our local Amphur, PEA, Tessabaan, Orbitor and Hospital are all lit up like Christmas trees at night.
  9. It's not hundreds of acres of prime residential or industrial land it's 1(ONE!) rai of land for the investor's own residential property that they will live in. To think that Thailand will lose control of vast areas of the country is seriously deluded considering only 8, yes EIGHT, takers have invested 40 million bht since 2003 in the last hairbrained scheme to own sacred Thai soil.
  10. There's a huge difference between selling off vast tracts of land and a countries infrastructure to a foreign power and a foreigner who just wants to buy a single rai on which to build his family's home.
  11. So since 2003 only 8 foreigners have thought it worthwhile enough to buy their own 1 Rai of sacred Thai soil. These clowns are totally clueless if they think keeping the 40 million investment clause is going to attract further hordes of foreigners wanting to buy their own patch on which to build a house.
  12. As he knows where all the bodies are buried and has years of 'bookeeping' records along with video evidence from his establishments he's safer than most I'd wager.
  13. One <deleted> rai so you can actually own the house and land you live in and have a little extra security during your stay in the Kingdom! I would love to see this xenophobic <deleted> reciprocated elsewhere in the world for Thais so they too can experience some of the astonishing discrimination faced by foreigners wanting to buy a few square metres of land.
  14. Yeah, I'd forgotten what a bunch of benevolent philanthropists insurance companies are.
  15. I just renewed my first class insurance this month on my 16 year old Triton. Initially they offered only 2nd class but after I said I'd be going elsewhere they agreed to continue my first class cover.
  16. So they can't sell these properties and have reduced the price a little bit?
  17. "......he has been courted by Ruam Thai Sang Chart, a new political party set up by supporters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha." Why on Earth would a so called democrat have anything to do with a party that supports anyone who came to power by means of a coup?
  18. Abortions up to 12 weeks are already legal in Thailand. This new law increases the legal limit up to 20 weeks.
  19. "The watches are Pattawat’s heritage, but they were not on the inheritance list because there were no important documents for them,” Gen. Prawit said. Yeah everybody knows that the world's most expensive luxury watches come with no authentication papers when they're sold.
  20. RSV ripped through my daughter's school a few weeks ago helped along by alot of parents still taking sick kids into class. High fever and lethargic for about 5 days and a really bad cough and chest infection for 3 weeks. For her it was worse than covid which she had last March and was over with in 3 days.
  21. State Railways Thailand called the 40 year old locomotives donated by Japan new after they received a fresh lick of paint. I wonder if this is TGs definition of new too?
  22. There is a huge amount of silt being carried by the river since the flooding started and when sediment loads are too high fish deaths are often a result especially when they have limited space in a farm.
  23. Ask them to try and locate using your name. I was told a reference number from Thailand doesn't show in their system.
