Bank insists I wear a mask

Can Thailand afford to raise minimum wage to 600 baht?
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It is actually 50 baht per person, per day, per year. In addition when people earn more money they tend to have less debt. The government gains, because people have a bit more money to spend so VAT income increases, as does the number of people who pay tax. The people who don't gain are those multi billionaires who have more money than they can ever spend in their lifetimes. -
Cold Fronts Bringing Chills to Most of Thailand This Week
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not necessarily. It depends on where you live and where the weather station is situated. The closer you live to the weather station, the more accurate it is. If you don't like the Thai weather forecast try these, and choose your own locality. https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/th/khlong-lan https://www.accuweather.com/en/th/khlong-lan/318424/weather-forecast/318424 https://www.weathercrave.com/weather-forecast-thailand/city-588481/weather-forecast-khlong-lan-patthana-today https://weather.com/en-MT/weather/tenday/l/Khlong+Lan+Kamphaeng+Phet+Thailand?placeId=5e07d1001622e556db0a77e4674333837e7ce3469f89429d8e44c4ccde96c7c4 Please bear in mind that most of these weather stations are virtual and none really have a weather station on the ground. Alternatively you could buy your own weather station and set it up. -

If Wife Dies Before Me.
billd766 replied to NoshowJones's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
It certainly clarifies it for me. You have described what, where and how you did it, and yes it was reasonably simple as both offices are in the same vicinity. Why other people may not believe you, is that for them the Provincial Amphur office and the Provincial Land office may be kms apart. -

Bank insists I wear a mask

Just a thought. If you were to go to a country which requires you to wear a mask, would you comply with their rules and regulations and wear a mask? -
Bank insists I wear a mask

So out of 70 odd million people in Thailand a huge 3 948 members, 81 online are members. Am I impressed, not in the slightest. You seem to be a foreigner like the majority of posters here and ResistanceTHA does not apply to you anyway. -
EU corruption scandal: European Parliament offices searched
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Believe it. The bigger the institution the more corruption there is, and the easier it is to hide it. -

My pc has an ad blocker. He has a mind blocker, so whatever you post in favour of common sense and mask wearing, he will mind block, because he does not agree with it, therefore you, me or anyone else are wrong and stupid. He is already on my ignore list. -
LTAT Mulls EV Replacement of Diesel Long Haul Trucks
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I see trucks around that must be 40, 50 up to 60 years old and still giving service. Now the LTAT will expect the new owners to pay the selling price of each EV truck at 5-6 million baht, AND replace the batteries every 6 years or so. To meet that target you can expect the cost of transport to sky rocket, which in turn will raise the cost of living even higher, given how much transport is moved by road. Where will all these truck charging stations be, and how long will it take to recharge the truck batteries? Serious thought and forward planning seems to be missing here. -
If Wife Dies Before Me.
billd766 replied to NoshowJones's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
My wife's family live in Bangkok, some 350 km away from us and we are on good terms with them. The house and land are to go to our son (18 years old now) when she dies. -
It is easy to impersonate anyone on Facebook. You can create a new account in anybody's name or you can simply hijack the account which is what happened to me. Only if Facebook notices the account goes against their "Community Rules" with they do anything. What they did to me was suspend the account IN MY NAME and contact details and they say it will be sorted out, usually within 24 hours. If you appeal against it then the account is suspended and after 30 days the account is shut down, OR SO THEY SAY. My account was suspended to me on 30 October this year yet it is still active today. You can appeal to Facebook but you need a Facebook account to talk to them. Catch 22 rules. I could regain my account but to do that I need to know the password that the hijacker is using, I need my email address and my phone number which is suspended to me as it is in use on MY hijacked account. Catch 22 rules.

XBB Covid Variant Spreading In India Will Soon Reach Thailand: Expert
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have just done a Google search and it seems that the USA is suffering, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/us/coronavirus-hospitals-capacity.html https://www.npr.org/2021/12/19/1065626395/hospitals-are-still-reeling-from-delta-as-omicron-cases-start-to-multiply https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59960949 The UK seems to be the opposite https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51768274 It seems to me that, if you want to search for a result that suits you, you can find one. It all depends on your point of view. -

Bank insists I wear a mask
billd766 replied to happydays's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
quote "People like you are the main reason why we have the issues with these totalitarian governments and government-matrix-agents worldwide nowadays." ???? ???? ???? Stupid people similar to you believe that they don't have to wear a mask to visit a bank, and get indignant and upset when they are not allowed to enter the bank without wearing a mask. They believe that it is an affront to their human rights and they demand, in their arrogance to be let in. OTOH smart people put on a mask for the period that they are in the bank. and take it off when they are outside again. I guess that makes you one of the stupid people, that there is no hope for. -
I am 78 and feeling my age. Between my neighbours hose and mine are 1 male adult, 3 female adults, 1 male teenager and 2 female teenagers. ALL the teenagers have had Covid despite being vaccinated plus one adult female. Of the 3 remaining adults there is me with 2 Pfizer jabs, my neighbour with 3 Pfizer jabs and my wife with 1 Sinovac jab. None of us has had Covid. None of us take vitamins, None of us are particularly fit. None of us believe it is scaremonger time and it never was.

Why would I have the desire to find out anything about Hunter Biden? I am not a US citizen so nothing about him affects me. AFAIK he was never in any government position and only is of interest to some people because he is the son of the current US President. Whether he took drugs, had porn on "his" laptop, did deals with other countries is a US problem. If he broke US laws let them deal with it. If there is enough evidence to convict him, then so be it. If not then let him alone to live his own life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden
