  1. Just finished watching  what I think was a great movie," The 12th Man ," 

    about the Nazi's looking for a sabatour that escaped, in Norway. its

    based on a true story.

     

    Then I remember quite a few years ago, 2 Norwegians were found dead

    on the kitchen floor,up here in Chiang Mai, the Police said they died of

    Hypothermia, all i can say they were not as tough as this guy must have been.

  2. Betagro,say their chicken and pork are free from antibiotics,

    growth hormones,but they are not free range,the chicken will

    have been grown in "Broiler houses ",and whole chickens will

    not have offal included.

     

    If you can find local free range chicken,they are going to be 

    mostly skin and bone.f you have room in the garden,raise 

    some yourself,that is maybe the only way you will get what

    you want.

    Betagro have a large outlet on Mae Jo road,,on right hand

    side,nearly into Mae Jo,coming from Chiang Mai.

  3. Just been browsing through BahtSold and quite a few Guest Houses & small Hotels

    up for sale,maybe trying to find a sucker,before they get closed down.

     

    Seems the days of a freewheeling Thailand are over,welcome to another nanny state,

    you cannot own a water gun,air rifle,dildo,vape,gamble,buy alcohol at certain times of

    the day, there must be more things you cannot do or own and the list is getting longer.

    the big one......land.

  4. It seems like Immigration offices are taking full advantage

    of all this confusion,about TM30,and too many people don't

    know enough about it,and those are fined 1,600 THB,for the

    privilege, a nice not too little earner for them.

     

    What about the TM28, is that still been enforced ?,the purpose

    of that is to report when you leave the province you live in,

    and go to another area of Thailand,you have to use the TM28

    to report your return,  rumours of TM 21 been rolled out,everytime 

    you go for a shit,you have to report in !  no not really,just joking,

    but the really scary thing ,the way they seem to want to know 

    where we are all the time, I could happen...

  5. My daughter works as a receptionist at a hotel,the hotel

    pays no overtime,what they do is give time off in lieu of

    hours worked,so if she works 6 hrs overtime,she can

    leave early by 1 hour a day,or come in an hour late,until

    you have gotten back your hours of overtime worked.

     

    No extra if you have to work on Sunday or Public Holidays,

    and is given an extra 50 THB a night for working night shift.

    so other girls have complained and were asked to resign,if

    they did not, they would be sacked for some reason and not

    given any recommendations,so obviously all just resign. 

     

    I suspect this is what is going on in many small and medium

    businesses,take any steps to keep the wage bill down,if your

    staff complain,sack them or force them to resign.

     

    This "Emergencies" clause  has been included just to be a  

    loophole for employers to exploit.
