if every biz just started charging 5 baht a bag people would start bringing their own for sure.

"He added that the artist was now in good spirits and had already been contacted for a designing job by a clothes manufacturer who was impressed with the artist’s talent."  I must be missing something is this painting.  To me looks like something my 12 year old nephew would draw. 

I kind of agree.  It's alright, but hardly technically that good.  Also who knows if anyone actually paid 600K....maybe, or maybe just a way to help her not lose face?  Thai culture is hard to understand sometimes.

I dont know how old you are but your percentages are from 15 years ago . In western country's and america 30% is as normal as buying a pack of sigaretes 

Hardly, I did a survey when home of different shops...average was around 22% . You can find some over 30%, but very rare.

Just start refusing treatment for people who got cancer from smoking, unless they can pay in full in cash.  Sick habit.  I quit 15 years ago and so far a few people my age I know are sick with cancer.

My God your dogs speaks as well!!  Can he say Mioew too? 

 

I am astounded beyond the fact both your cat and dog are fluent in Thai, that you have a dog (and I assume a cat) that both understand the complex concepts of religion, nationalism, and the socio economic arguments that surround the issues of pet ownership. 

 

If I was being cynical, which I am not, I would think that you are super imposing your own Donald Trumpesqe views using your dog and cat as unwitting accomplices. But that would be cynical and cruel of me to think you would do such a thing to your pets. You being a good buddist and all that. 

 

I look forward to seeing you pets on Thailands got Talent. Please do not disappoint. 

I can't reply anymore to Yinn's weirdness.  If he/she/it is actually Thai, it is a strange message I am receiving.

It not talk about Buddhism.

But, sure, Buddhist don’t kill the pet.

 

 

in the Christian USA...

Each year, approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren’t enough adoptive homes.

 

 

If you ask my cat “what you want, let you free or kill you?” My cat will say freedom better. 

My cat the Buddhist.

 

The Christians on the other thred want to kill the Buddhist soi dog also. 

Such Christian compassion!!!

Sending the family pet out to the wild where they will starve, get hit by a car, or die of a disease is not very compassionate.  In the States for sure they have kill shelters, it is sad.  Here the kill shelter is abandoning your pet on the road.

Thailand has become very unsafe and racist.' 

Been here 30 years, never a problem.  If you hang out in brothels then it might be different.  I hang out with regular folk.

Some great programs opening that are mostly managed by foreign unis and also bringing many instructors.  Can't blame students and parents going for the quality choice against lackluster Thai programs.

Seriously, does anyone proof read here? 

Careful, any criticism of the poo yais here at TV will get you a huffy notice of breaking the rules, and possible detention!  Lots of super fragile egos here in the moderators room.  ????

Melodramatic twaddle.

Tend to agree.  the TM30 is a pain but I have always found it super simple living here, providing you are following the rules as stipulated by whichever visa you have chosen to live here under.  The only thing is the time it takes away from my working day to process, but it is not that bad and if it is going to catch some people trying to cheat the system then I am ok with it.

Let's spend a bit more time on first and second language please.

You just have this blanket complaint.  What are details?  I guess it really is time for you to leave.  I myself have been here nearly 30 years and love it still very much.

I have a lot of friends. What you don't understand?

 

The smoking area in the carpark at my office is blazing with vapers.  A couple guys have these massive jumbo vapes and emit huuuuge clouds - all day any day at least 4-5 people are out there vaping, the rest smoking.

Never filled out the form , and never been asked to pay a fine, Jomtien immigration. 
10 years in Thailand.
 

Same here, but i got it two weeks ago as my visa was coming up.  Even doing my 90 reporting a few weeks ago they did not ask.  But it was the first thing they wanted to see when I was renewing my visa.  It's on!  Changwattana imm. must be making over 100K a day on TM30 fines....it is a goldmine.  It is actually going to police - they are the one issuing the 800 baht fine.

Certainly one of the reasons I have been seeing so many more checkpoints lately.  Also all the cash from police fines for the TM30s.  I estimate changwattana alone is making at lest 100K a day from that scam.

Why no poster board behind, or finger pointing?

What the f.....?

If you use a Google ID then everything can transfer over no problem.  If not then I am sure the people at the shop will be able to help you.  I used Samsung for awhile before movie to iPhone...love iPhone and see no reason after 8 years to use another.  I have only had 2 iphones n that time.
