From the original article: "Astonishingly, the Chinese employer even provided them with 900,000 baht to cover their transportation expenses" "If they wished to return home, they would be required to pay a repatriation fee of 190,000 baht to the employer" So still a good profit then, unless they flew in a private jet!

Flash floods in Bangkok. Has that ever happened before? Would it be in the canals or in the river? What time should we evacuate?? -
Grab taxi driver threatens to harm former Thai singer
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A few weeks ago, when I took a taxi home from Suvarnabhumi airport, the taxi driver was on 2 phones at the same time. He used some kind of app to record and send voice messages and had to press the screen when he was speaking. Then the persons in the other ends would reply and the conversations would go on and on. In my thousands of taxi rides in Thailand, not a single driver has met my expectations, that the driver should be polite, not be on the mobile phone, not listen to the radio or watch a movie and keep both hands at the steering wheel when driving with passengers. -

Govt Affirms More Transit Systems to be Ready in Few Years
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The Yellow Line system has postponed announced opening dates so many times, so that when they do actually open, nobody will believe it. For years motorists have been held hostage in severe traffic jams, while most of the time few or no workers have been seen around the cordoned off parts of the road. -
I totally agree. As a bonus Southeast Pharmacy sells at wholesale prices.

Thailand’s experiment with weed goes up in smoke
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
10,000 Baht in the wallet is more important to the majority of Thais than free Marihuana. Most voters are not even tax-payers and will be more than happy to let others pay the bill. Why hasn't the Pheu Thai party not been banned for this vote buying policy? -

Italian Man Has a Meltdown on His Balcony in Pattaya, Blames Marijuana
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Maybe it's more likely that he had tried to replace his Schizophrenia medicine with Marihuana. Lunatics doesnt always act rationally. I noticed in the video, that the bib used a win rider as a battering ram. -
Government plans to develop Thailand’s coastal zones
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The beach chair vendors are already placing large orders for millions of new beach chairs! It is already getting harder and harder to find small undeveloped placed for people, who are not happy to spend their holidays together with unmannered mass-tourists. -
"4 operations later the the insurance money has run out and there are a further 2 options required, one of which will be tomorrow" To be able to pay such unexpected costs, is exactly why expats are required to show 400,000 or 800,000 Baht in the bank, when extending their visa's.

I large problem here in Thailand is, that a colossal and powerful pick-up truck is often cheaper than a small sedan, why many entry level drivers opt to start out large, when a smaller sedan would fully have covered their basic needs. Put an extra tax on all those pick-up trucks, which are only used for daily driving, and not for everyday work purposes, which they are created for. Or the authorities could require a few years experience in a smaller sedan, before they are allowed to drive a larger and potentially more deadly vehicle.

British expat missing for a week in Chiang Mai
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
"The Loi Kroh neighbourhood, where Boyle was last seen, is a well-known red-light area in Chiang Mai. " I would be concerned too, if I was his friend. Maybe he raked up a bill, that was suddenly larger than he was able to pay, or a prostitute had an alternative way to get money from the customer?? -
Thai man fined and sentenced to prison over craft beer review
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
This Law is insane, but any Thai citizen knows, that alcohol advertising is currently illegal. A review for beer should be considered advertisement, or else we would be drowning in advertisements for alcoholic drinks camoflaged as reviews. Law is Law and is supposed to be followed in any country in the world. If only all other laws in Thailand was enforced just as strictly, there would be far less deadly traffic accidents and far less violent attacks and shootings. -

Exploring the cost of living for retirees in Thailand
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where can an elderly retiree find a premium health insurance for only 30-60,000 Baht per year. This is definitely not possible and will also not cover existing conditioner, for which treatments will have to be paid seperately.
