  1. I'm scared to wash my car. If I get my 14 year old son to do it I might get arrested for abuse of child labour? My plan is therefore to get my Thai wife involved in the task but I'll have to first invest in some of those noise cancelling headphones and strap in for the anticipated vocal tornado.
  2. Bravo. Finally a heartwarming story. Surely worth at least a basket of some sort from Thai PR 4.0? Srettha? Are you there.....hello....
  3. The Suez canal is 193 kms long. The Thailand LandBridge project is about 100 kms long. With the unloading and reloading of containers at two different locations I'm not seeing the benfits of a landbridge over a canal. Is the terrain the problem?
  4. Where is the TAT with a gift basket? If that clip makes a foreign news service the PM won't be happy.
  5. .......and the promised 600 baht daily wage is actually a 2 baht a day increase. Perhaps employers should consider dishing the increase out as 8 x 25 satang coins rather than a single coin, at least it will jiggle in your pocket. The redness in the locals' faces is not from lao khao but from being smacked by their once beloved party.
  6. So after these comments he's moved to the Public Health portfolio, today! Fact. 555555555
  7. Which equates to a 0.61% increase. Which makes the Govt. officials +32 times more important! The PM seems to have been castrated this week. He has lost the balls he had last time he commented on this issue. Don't trust a man with odd socks.
  8. "Pigs in blankets" is what comes to my mind @ this time of the year.
  9. The Chinese Communist Party dont' need secret police forces , as they have in other countries, as they have the Govt./RTP on a lead.
  10. Expatriates. Expatriates returning to the UK for a visit. The majority of members here would be termed expats?
  11. " UK nationals who no longer live in the UK" "Because the NHS is a residency-based system, under NHS rules UK nationals who move abroad on a permanent basis lose their entitlement to free NHS healthcare...... Any treatment that may have to be paid for will be charged at 150% of the national NHS rate." https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-the-nhs-charges-overseas-visitors-for-nhs-hospital-care/how-the-nhs-charges-overseas-visitors-for-nhs-hospital-care
  12. Crossed wires. If you return to UK to be a resident again it's free. If you have left for over 6 month's you can't return for a visit and use the NHS without paying a bill @ +150%. They are different cases. Example: If Thai expats, like me, who have lived here for years (Over 6 months) were to visit the family/kids back in UK over Christmas, returning to Thailand in the New Year, your liable for your NHS treatment @+150%. I've already linked to the UK Govt. website in a previous post; perhaps you skipped over it.
  13. Here is the reason there are pricing tiers here in Thailand. Sadly he lost the case to Anutin and after this story was printed a 5th tier was appended which was for foreigners with a Thai wife. https://thailand-construction.com/dutchmans-lawsuit-to-strike-down-higher-expat-fees-at-thai-hospitals-nears-verdict/
  14. Can't possibly be right, there is no such thing as visa status, been talking to the wrong Dr. It all came to light in last years (?) legal case where Anutin sadly won against the foreign engineer. There was a thread here about it. I know I pay my bills @ a lower rate than a tourist because I registered with my Yellow Book. I don't know which level of the 5 tiers I'm on but I do know it's not the top tier and it is reasonable.
