endure

Definitely not.

The ASEAN Economic Community allows the free movement of labour for eight professions at this point in time: engineering, nursing, architecture, medicine, dentistry, tourism, surveying and accounting.

They probably couldn't find Thai staff to work for a similar wage.

How can we have so many Burmese gardeners, contructionworkers, landworkers if those are the rules?

Not to mention the loads of Indian salesguys i saw on the street many years ago.

Indian sales guys are usually Nepalese that migrated to Burma and then Thailand.

How can some from Nepal be Indian? The Indian sales guys are Sikhs who are Thai citizens. Sikhs have been living in Thailand for the last 150 years.

They really look and sound Indian, they don't look and sound like the typical Burmese in Thailand. It's a staggering number as well was quite strange too see.

once you are legally married in a country you are married everywhere.

Not true. Same sex couples can be legally married in any one of 22 countries. Their marriages are not recognised in Thailand.

Which part of "go to gate" was difficult to understand?

Everyone else was afraid to post on this topic until I obliged.

The topic was only started 40 minutes ago...

I am not judging anyone and people can do as they wish but I will say that extinction would be in their future without the ability to procreate.

Considering that homosexuality was recorded in China 2600 years ago your assumptions seem rather silly

Probably a good idea to give your source...

If you haven't already done so you might want to dispose of that battery safely. They are very dangerous in that state.

Best wishes and don't stay away too long. That crazy school needs you!

Combine a few factors to arrest the problem. Pass laws to make asset seizure from criminal activity mandatory and immediate, with percentages of assets seized allocated to police involved

Why DMK? Because it isn't a great sterile shopping mall. Because when you arrive it smells like Thailand should smell rather than smelling like all the other 'international' airports.

Posts making sweeping generalisations about Muslims have been removed and I am losing my patience. The next poster who thinks it's ok to paint all Muslims with the same brush will be suspended for 7 days - promise!

7) Not to post slurs or degrading comments directed towards any group on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

As the original thread was closed and this is just going to go down in flames let's close this as well.

//CLOSED//

A number of off topic posts and replies have been removed

The topic of the thread is "Barisan Revolusi Nasional ( B R N ) Wants Thai Troops Out Of Far South". Stick to it.

18) Not to discuss the specifics of prostitution.Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgment of that fact is not forbidden. However ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation.

Glad to hear that you're getting better. Hope everything goes well on Friday.

Same as Indonesia. I have seen 2 bill board posters on a ladder 8 metres above a busy road with traffic whizzing about it. no helmets, harnesses or safety boots. If they introduced western OH an S standards the building industry would be crippled and the most sought after position would be work safety inspector. They would be millionaires in the first week with tea money.

Undoubtedly health and safety concerns at the workplace are far behind what they would be in most "developed countries," but construction work has a higher risk of injury than most other occupations in every country. Thailand is a developing country. That doesn't mean people are innately stupid or careless. It means the economy and all that is associated with it has not fully developed. As a consequence many people from developed countries come here because they enjoy a better lifestyle than they would on the same amount of money back home.

Apparently some of these people from the allegedly developed countries rejoice whenever something unfortunate happens and scramble to score some points by making unfounded and childish comments regardless of the truly sad circumstances that seems to get them weirdly excited. I guess that also is a trait of some of the denizens of the supposedly more developed cultures.

Fortunately it's not likely this poor kid's family and friends will read any of this ... including one comment that was thankfully removed. I'm not sure why, but I'm still surprised at the insensitive nonsense posted by people trying to prove how much better, more intelligent, more advanced they are. You're proving something, but it isn't what you think.

>There have been significant reductions in the number and rate of injury over the last 20 years or more. Nevertheless, construction remains a high risk industry. Although it accounts for only about 5% of the employees in Britain it still accounts for 22% of fatal injuries to employees and 10% of reported major injuries ...

...an estimated 1.7 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health and a further 0.6 million due to workplace injuries. This equates to 0.87 and 0.34 days per worker

There are no such post in this thread. Yours is the first self-complacent one. No one here is patronizing the Thais, but you patronize the other posters.

I suggest you read the post directly above yours.

21) Not to discuss moderation publicly in the open forum; this includes individual actions, and specific or general policies and issues. You may send a PM to a moderator to discuss individual actions or email support (at) thaivisa.com to discuss moderation policy. Members should not block contact with moderators or administrators. Doing so will result in suspension.

I am going to have to cut down on the bangers and mash.

'Bangers', eh ? I think the politically correct term is 'whores'.

I'm sorry but anyone who's ever owned a small Fiat knows they're an absolute hoot!

Thaivisa is not the place to ask about avoiding legal responsibilities.

It's interesting to note, and probably SCARY in these cases, that the other recent major historic supreme court case (about Obamacare) was read completely wrong by the tea leaf readers,

Is that the tea party or the tea baggers?
