That's great news!

Israel does not even pretend anymore to care and act like a civilized country.

Hopefully this decision will wake up some people who until now think that Israel should never be criticized.

It's time that more and more people demand that Israel should be boycotted for their constant crimes against the Palestinians. 

It's long overdue that the Palestinians get their own country!

Mate, the Palestinians are a made up people, created for political points, none the less Israel needs to have their bum kicked for the way they have treated the original inhabitants!

Does it really matter? It all hinges on the high price of the baht. So long as the military can buy from the US and squirrel its ill gotten gains overseas then it will continue forever! When have the Hi-So's in the LoS ever thought of the masses? "Rice in the field and fish in the river etc..." ????

Would the whirly-gig things work, either powered or not please?

Whirly gigs are great for getting heat out of the attic, I've two with a small electric fan on one to force the air flow...on a still day you can feel the air flow through the nearest window!

800K should be enough but... in Thailand it's never enough, there's always something the wife didn't think about!

For god's sake man don't do it! 10K a year is chicken feed!

So what you are saying is that the Trump administration failed to protect an American citizen in its care after it was warned that the citizen was in danger? A massive failure on the part of Trump.

I'm sorry, exactly how is the Trump administration or Trump himself is to blame for this man's supposed suicide...don't you feel that an accusation of TDS would be appropriate in this case? Look in a mirror and say "I am not demented" !

It would not be the first time people over in Africa had caused this type of explosion by stupid acts like smoking while live tapping of fuel lines.....

An IQ of 65 will do it every time, it's a shame although it's also Darwinian!

One of the benefits of living in Thailand. He could have easily bought his way out of this situation and gone on with life happily ever after.

500 baht and a really good wai!

Where would you stand legally if you did a sharp left turn into his cab and pushed him into the emergency lane, then buggering off??

I've got to see and hear it, I knew an old Spit pilot some years ago he said flying was never the same after the Spit!!

I'm astonished that anyone finds this remarkable in any way. I regularly win millions quite randomly and unsolicited.

Me too, I've just invested my winnings in a foolproof scheme that will clean dollar bills so that we can use them again!

Part of the problem is the almost total lack of pool safety fences in Thailand, typical safety last thinking that is the standard here.

Pool fences are a waste of time, money and energy! Teach your children to survive in the water, "dog paddle" is best for survival and they can use it straight away!

The baby story was so sad, both for the mother and the child, at what point does a mother's love of child break down??

Thanks for making the effort to inform us...again!

Gotta be Ozy!

Her only sin was to distract Thai praying for money, this of course is unforgivable as god may have been distracted for a millisecond!!

You've got to be kidding! BKK over HCMP 55555555! VN is just sooo much better!

How else are they going to pay for their second submarine, they need to keep the Baht as high as they can!

I think I mentioned my position a while back but just in case; I retired early so I don't get a full UK gov. pension; I took a partial lump sum on my company pension so I don't receive 100% on that either. This month total Thai Baht received just scraped 40K. Since I rent a place and on my own I'm okay but there is no way I can even think about a girlfriend (divorced from Thai wife). But with the GBP slump what concerns me is that if Thai immigration make an increase in financial requirements (I use 800K method)...you know, 'it never rains but it pours' situation. As far as the Brexit situation is concerned not much we can do about it. There are probably expats out there worse off than me, maybe medical problems etc., and I feel for them.

Beware - Some OP's on TV are death on people who came here in the past and qualified at that time, their rant is predicated on the fact that you have failed to increase your assets in line with the requirements of the Thai government! They, on the other hand, deplore these "pensioners" who didn't have the foresight to put away 400 - 800k in anticipation of the changes to the requirements! These OP's know who they are, don't you fellows?

I have a particular military pension (TPI) it used to give me a pretty good living here in LOS, I've lost THB 60K a month in the last year because of the poor AUD and the super high THB!
