So if Lazudi are holding the keys and Fazwaz has a customer who wants to view and potentially buy, do you really think Lazudi will do this for free? Without wanting a cut of the commission? Very naive view of how the Agencies work.

The vast majority of Estate Agents no longer have dedicated websites, or even premises, but use FB. If you want to find and contact Estate Agents in your area you have to use FB. Even the big Estate Agents who have web sites still sell on FB as opposed to their own sites. FB has totally disrupted the Estate Agent business, its no longer a shop, a sales person and a web site, that model has gone.

So you have dozens if not hundreds of copy keys which you would have to pre-send to all the agents that has been sent the details on FB and there is no control of who visits, because if they don't tell you you won't know. That's a recipe for disaster.

The selling Agent is the one with the customer, if you can let me know in advance which Agent has a customer who wants to view then I would leave the keys with them. But as there are multiple agents marketing the property I have no idea which one has a customer who is interested.

I have a house for sale in Pattaya but I am not in Pattaya so arranging viewings is a big problem. I have relied on friends to hold the keys and open the house but with their work commitments and availability its become unworkable. I have left the keys with Estate Agents before, but they want a cut of the commission which is a non starter for the selling Agent with the customer who wants all the commission. Is there a Company in Pattaya providing a service which can hold the keys and then meet potential buyers and the Agent at the house, (during normal business hours), open the house and let them view and then close and lock the house afterwards? The house is on Soi Chaiyapruek 2 near Silk Road Place. It would have to be a properly registered Company (for obvious security reasons) with enough available staff in order to meet the Agent at a prearranged time. NB The Agents don't give you much notice, usually its this afternoon or tomorrow morning etc All sensible suggestions appreciated, thank you.

Is the Democrat Party in fact a Doomsday cult? If they don't win then its the end of the World!

In the future the psychologists will look back and ask how can so many people believe so many lies about a person that they totally lost any grounding in reality or examination of facts? <removed> will become a must part of the curriculum for any student studying mental illness in the future. The future of the mental illness curriculum will ask why how many people voted for a dotard, and by reason the faceless, unaccountable and dishonest people behind them, who would destroy their lives and enslave them, rather than someone who had already proved he will protect their freedoms and improve their lives. Future generations will not believe that people can be so stupid and so easily manipulated by the flight or fight response, that humans all have ! After all, wasn't it the Nazi propaganda Minister Himmler who said " The greater the lie, the more believable it is"? If you want to CONTROL a population then instil FEAR in them, create a Bogeyman, a MONSTER. The Nazis used the Jews and other undesirables to sow fear and so negate any rational thought or reason in favour of pure emotion - HATE! The Nazi's used HATRED and FEAR to manipulate and control the German population to allow them to do unspeakable acts. There was no reason or rationality or truth but instead they played on fear to negate any form of reasoning or a rational examination of facts. The people who believed their lies sanctioned them in the killing of millions of people and, as a result, they subsequently suffered terrible consequences. OPEN YOUR MIND ! It's not about sides, RED or BLUE, its about seeking the TRUTH and applying rational thought not emotions. Don't allow yourself to be driven by FEAR, those who would use your basic human fears to manipulate you do not have your interests at heart, they are using you. Its NOT about RED or BLUE, but about whether YOU as a individual and citizen can get beyond your basic human instincts of tribal conflict (as they can't in Africa) and come to a rational, reasoned decision based on the facts and not the lies. Seek out the truth, don't believe the BS your spoon fed. Rise above the lies and deception, become your own person, not a tool of others.

"stems from a 2015 interview", but only charged now? He obviously isn't 'towing the (agreed) line'.

I just can't help thinking that I am now living in the most precarious and dangerous time of my existence, everything appears to be on the edge of the abyss. Whether it is political, economic or security based, it appears we are at a prophetical point in time. Is it just me or does anyone else feel we are living in Apocalyptic times?

I have sent you a personal message on AseanNow.

Yes its out of date or will be from September this year. See the last Lodge (Lanna 1852) on the following link:- https://www.grandlodgescotland.com/structure/district-grand-lodges/#toggle-id-14

Who was it who said on National TV in front of the American people "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"? It wasn't Bill Clinton was it, after he was caught having sex IN THE OVAL OFFICE with an Intern and lied? Strange because nobody in the American justice system tried to lock him up. Or his wife after She conducted OFFICIAL US BUSINESS on an unsecured server and then destroyed the evidence, why didn't the American justice system prosecute Her? If your an American you should be proud to be the biggest Banana Republic in the world because that is how the rest of the world now sees what the US has become.

From what I have read about nuclear war and the resulting nuclear winter:- 5% of the world population dies in the fireballs and radiation exposure. 90% die of starvation over the next 24 months due to the drop in solar radiation resulting in the failure of all crops. As the survivors start to starve all society breaks down. To survive you would need to have enough food and water to last for years and seeds to replant later, and enough bullets to fight off any starving survivors. So unless you have your own private island with useable land and water and the knowledge and tools to farm and the weapons to defend it you will either starve or be on someone's menu.

So, its official, the US is now the Banana Republic of the World. Meanwhile China will invade Taiwan, Putin will nuke Ukraine, Iran will declare a fatwa to unite all Muslims against all "infidels" to totally eradicate Jews and Christians. The US stock market and Dollar will become worthless as the new commodity based Brick replaces all FIAT currencies due to the obviously unpayable debts. Any Country which previously aligned with the US, seeing the betrayal of its US allies will look to join the new "World Order". Meanwhile the idiots, who are destroying the Constitution, will become totally irrelevant and forgotten by the rest of the world. Good bye the dream of freedom and of self determination by the people. Freedom is dead because opposing US politicians are incapable of working together in a frame work for the common good.

If you think, that then you had better read this:- https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/01/06/new-tax-era-as-revenue-now-shares-data-with-138-countries/

I have now been living in Hang Dong for 9+ months and need to chose a private hospital to register at, which I can head to if I or the family was ill or had an accident etc. I have Bupa/Aetna/Alliance insurance for inpatient only so I need somewhere that accepts this insurance and has a good 24h outpatient department. No specific illness, just a hospital where I can see a doctor 24 hours a day in a reasonable time limit which won't break the bank and has good patient care. Some where that puts patients before profits and is reasonably easy to get to from Hang Dong. If you have a positive or a negative experience of a private Chiang Mai hospitals please share below so I can choose the right place.

I think that Pavena Hongsakula is the only Thai who truly cares about children, may Buddha bless Her and Her work to protect the innocent.

The fundamental failure of American Democracy is that the mass indoctrinators media has turned Democracy into a beauty contest. Democracy is no longer about facts or policies, its all about love or hate the candidates regardless of how their policies will affect them and the world. How can it have become the future course of a country, and the world, to rest upon candidate personalities only, rather than facts and policies? Is the American citizen so ignorant and dumb that they cannot see the wolf is at the door and they stand on the edge of the abyss? As an outsider, I look in total disbelief that the world's supposedly most powerful nation, can be so obsessed in naval gazing and mud slinging, that they cannot see that all is burning around them and that all free loving people will burn with it including them? It defies belief that any American citizen could even consider voting for a dotard who can not even string a sentence together, who's policies are destroying everything their forefathers died to protect, solely because they hate the other guy! Future generations will look back at this time as a form of mass mental psychotic illness, that lead to the destruction of the dream that was freedom and Democracy.

The cost of living increases are affecting everyone all around the world. Most people are struggling to make ends meet. The stock markets are reaching all time highs, but next year they will be in free fall. Buckle up, its going to be a roller-coaster ride.

I can't talk about how this will effect other people but can only say what effect it is having on my circumstances and plans:- 1. Planned to buy a new car next year - CANCELLED 2. Planned to build a new house on land we have - CANCELLED So that's about 6 million baht I will not be bringing into Thailand next year or ever while the chance of me paying income tax on my savings which have already been taxed on. The exempt from tax burden of proof is being placed on me and the decision in the hands of an official. Once you have brought the money here then your savings are in the hands of the authorities and its too late to send it back. So everything bought here has become extremely expensive and unaffordable (if I have to pay tax) and impossible to plan and budget for. In England we have the expression "shoot yourself in the foot" which is apt in these circumstances. If the Thai authorities really do not intend to target the Expats and only the Thais "playing the system" then make the changes only applicable to Thai resident citizens.
