He outed the police years ago and he's still here. Maybe he has some information that's his insurance.

Is happened before so the police have form on this. In Parliament he told of legal gambling and where it was happening. The police did a raid but not until a couple of days later when it was found to be empty. He then asked a video of the building being emptied vertebrae his accusation and the police turning up.

That may well be an option I'm have to look at. Having said that in the unlikely event my wife dies first I may want to shoebox more time in the UK where I have 2 granddaughters. In that case I might need some of the money from the sale of the house and land in Thailand. I trust my family but I'd just prefer having something I own. With all this stress I'll probably die of a heart attack first anyway. ????

That's fine so long as she doesn't die first. I think it gets complicated then. If my wife has this right of she dies then everything is split between her daughter and me. The problem is of course that the half of the land that I would then own I have to sell as I can't own it. I think I'd have 6 months. What I'd do if course is give my half to her daughter. The be honest it's not my wife or her family that's the problem. It the Thai government.

There's bound to be someone who's looking for a wrinkly stripper

The thing is you don't know until it happens. When I was young I couldn't imagine being in my late 60s, deaf in one ear dealing with the after effects of prostate cancer but here I am. When I was married to my first wife the idea that in her early 40s she'd be diagnosed with aggressive Multiple Sclerosis and would be dead when she was 50 would have been unimaginable. Even in the early days if you'd told me the extent of personal care I would have to provide towards the end I would have said that it was something I couldn't do but slowly without realising that's what I did. Living here in Thailand wasn't something I would have thought possible. I think we just grow with the situation we find ourselves in. Sometimes that may get too much and maybe we'll want to give up but I don't think you can make that decision until the time arrives.

Well I certainly wouldn't let you use one of that's your level of intelligence.

Thanks that saved me some typing. I try to drive smoothly without excessive or unneeded acceleration and breaking but that's made more difficult by the drivers you mention. They see anything more than a one and a half vehicle length space that you've left to facilitate smooth driving as a vacuum they need to urgently fill.

No they need to get out less then they'd have more control over their bowls. ????

That very much what I was thinking. Sounds pretty complicated to me. Would it apply to breakfast as well since that is often included. I can't see how it's going to work with booking sites either.

I would imagine it would be really unpopular in more expensive hotels if a foreigner is charged more than a Thai driving a BMW, Merc or Porsche. That would be even more so if the foreigner lived here as they would be aware of how much those cats cost here. It doesn't say if the higher pricing applies if to those of us who live here. At one time if you had a Thai driving licence you were treated as Thai but that's not the case anymore. There's also the problem of how this will work with booking sites like Agoda. Will they have to ask your nationality? I can't see them being keen to implement what is basically racism on their sites just to please Thai politicians.

Thailand could be the hub of football

In the cool season I don't think it gets as cold as the north but it does seem to get windy. I've sat in open restaurants with people wrapped in blankets.

Probably true but did you have to ruin my day?

We have neighbours but not that close apart from 2. Your position sounds great. Which park if you don't mind me asking?

Maybe these are the ones who failed the test to be cleaners? I've only been to Jomtien beach once for New Year 2016/17. I don't know where this part of the beach is but we stayed at the Royal Heritage Pavilion. We did walk along the beach a little but it seemed then that there wasn't much left to walk on, just a small strip before the sea. It just looked as if the balance wasn't really right but then maybe that's just me. My wife seemed to be of the same opinion. You need street traders and they need to work but without some regulation you're going to have problems. The trouble is regulations are a difficult issue here on both sides of their enforcement. I have to say that beach looks good though especially for a boring old fart like me.

Yes that's the way I read it as well. I do wonder why it doesn't apply elsewhere than just in Parliament?

I've given you a like but I think you deserve one for your humour in your last sentence. I assume it was meant to be humour?

Sounds like it's worth a try if possible. I've been in a few places that seem very quiet but there are a lot of deliveries going out. Good luck to the OP

Eh!

No football

The 15th seems to be what's called a public holiday holiday on this site. https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/thailand/2022 I think it may be a replacement for holidays that were cancelled due to Covid.

Mine works in part of the Ministry of Labour but she has to work on Labour Day. I think she has a day off for the Royal Ploughing Ceremony though even though she works in an office. As far as I can tell this isn't going to be a holiday. If it is then I've no complaints..

My take would be naivety.
