  1. And that says it all. Another coup on the way.
  2. The air is fine down here on Samui.
  3. Silly me. And I thought that it stood for British Broadcasting Company. Maybe it is going woke and should re-brand? PBC or MBC?
  4. From the BP reported previously and again today - they are going to investigate less than 27,000 possible nominee juristic persons in this crackdown. And that is across all five sectors. There will be more nominees than that owning villas, just in Phuket. They are not after every Tom, Dick or Harry who has bought a pizzy little villa in Nakhon Sri Nowhere. I am not an expert but I do read and comprehend.
  5. The grandmother didn't. They both fell in the water together.
  6. Ignore the innocent children and save the friggin cat. Despicable.
  7. Catch the culprits, blindfold them and make them walk over the planks every day until they promise never to do it again.
  8. Interesting times. First, she wants to tell the BOT how to manage its money. Now EGAT.
  9. I suspect that the foreign boyfriend was a tad embarrassed to have been found out. Could have led to an interesting conversation.
  10. This could become interesting seeing as TAT is actively 'recruiting' foreign influencers in order to promote Thailand overseas.
  11. My Yamaha Neuvo - three days and I had to kick start it (hard work). My Honda PCX - a month or two - no problems. Friend had a small Yamaha Mio - terrible problems after just couple of days. He gave it away in the end.
  12. The guy lost 2,000 baht in cash and a ring valued at 40,000 baht.
  13. They have won this one and still the mud slinging carries on.
  14. I attended a course in Bangkok back in 2000 entitled 'Thai Law for Foreigners'. The course was given by lecturers who taught lawyers. The nominee shareholder thing back then was totally legal. However, the lecturer explained that it would be best NOT to use that method, because if it went to trial, the judgement would probably come down against the foreigner. The argument being that the preference shareholder scheme implied that a foreigner was worth more than a Thai! There is the letter of Thai law and then there is the spirit of Thai law. Spirit always wins. The lecturer then told us how to do it all legally and within the spirit of the law.
  15. Were any woman allowed to vote? Or did their husbands tell them what to do?
  16. This thread is not about 'any institution or individual', it is about the UN which is anti Jewish.
  17. Totally agree. And, with 56 Muslim member nations and only one Jewish one, that is never going to change.
  18. I cannot believe that this will ever work. Then we have the money collectors who give the householder a receipt, but give the Tessabaan a receipt for a lower value (that happens here). And what about the 'recycling foragers'? What will they do for a living? On guy used to work for me (12,000 baht per month), he left to earn more money (and flexible hours) by going through rubbish bins.
  19. And the murderer Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya? And all of the arrogant Thais openly defying Thai laws eg 'watchman' Prawit Wongsuwan? Quite a long list to go for.
  20. Absolute rubbish and fear mongering. I run a company and it owns the house that I live in. The company has been trading for more than 20 years - all taxes, VAT and fees paid up to date. There are 13 employees excluding myself - all Thais. So why should your 'prediction' happen to me (and probably hundreds of thousands of others).
  21. At a rough guess, the lawyers that set up the businesses, the accountants who are supposed to do due diligence, the people in local government who probably issued dodgy land titles/building permits (quite common on Samui) etc etc.
  22. Whilst the French lady was alive, everyone was happy with the status quo - all taking money from her. Now that she is dead, the ultra-rich and local politicians are circling like vultures.
  23. Best joke of the year so far. Well said Anutin but methinks that you speak with forked tongue.
