Most of the time I wear rubber soled deck shoes or loafers. I've never slipped or even felt at risk but, when we're out shopping, my daughter complains of electric shocks when she touches me. Around here (Sattahip) there are plenty of shops where you need to take off your shoes before entering. In stockinged feet walk slowly and flat-footed or risk a fall.

Not this time. Somebody of great influence has stepped in, and nobody will defy him (IMHO). -
Ex-culture minister offers to surrender to face corruption charges
chickenslegs replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
About 2-3 weeks ago the local radio station was reporting that the Limitation of Proceedings in the case was due to expire on 10 September 2023. If that is correct, he is going to get away scot-free. -

Anything About Thaksin’s Surgery Remains A Mystery: Justice Minister
chickenslegs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I could agree that the general public has no right to details of his private medical situation. However, he is a prisoner released into the custody of the hospital and (according to the article) the Justice Minister has not been given details. How can this be acceptable? -

Thai PM sees a role for Thaksin when he gets out of jail
chickenslegs replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's impossible to speak out against the decision to reduce TS's prison sentence. Further clemency will also go unchallenged, for the same reason. News of the investigation into Srettha's crooked land deal has suddenly gone quiet, and Chuwit is silent since being threatened with a defamation suit. All is back to normal in this LoS. -
I'm starting to think that he is a troll. Says something obnoxious to get a reaction, then enjoys sparring with other members. I won't be feeding him again.

The UK does have a double taxation treaty with Thailand https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/507424/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf The pension issue is not a taxation issue. Yes, that sucks!

I doubt that these people give any thought to their victims. Their only regret is getting caught.

Worst Joke Ever 2025
chickenslegs replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
I think this calls for a Les Dawson Mother-in-Law joke ... My mother-in-law fell down a wishing well. I was amazed; I never knew they worked. -
I suspect that "clean up" means transferring the profits from one corrupt player to another. Maybe I'm just a cynic.

taxation ......

Agreed. And thanks for the simpler version. -
Goodbye Alcoholism, Hello Sobriety!
chickenslegs replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I am a heavy drinker myself, and have experienced occasional blackouts (maybe 2-3 in 40+ years). However, my drinking has never got me into trouble or caused problems at home. I do not see myself as an alcoholic, but I would surely benefit from reducing or stopping my alcohol consumption, both financially and health wise. From what you describe, Bob, I do not think you are an alcoholic, but I'm no expert. -
Goodbye Alcoholism, Hello Sobriety!
chickenslegs replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Maybe ask some real alcoholics about your idea. There are a few on this board. AFAIK it is not possible for a true alcoholic to become a moderate drinker. All or nothing Bob. Are you an alcoholic, or just a problem/heavy drinker? -
taxation ......
chickenslegs replied to Chetzee's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The UK and Thailand have a double taxation agreement, which means (in simple terms) that any income which has been taxed in the UK will not be taxed again if brought into Thailand - and vice-versa. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/507424/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf -
