  1. No, not just the police. Any government employee get all kind of perks when it comes to borrowing money. The government encourages debt to its employees. The last I read not so long ago, was that teachers were up to their necks in massive amounts of debt. One has to wonder why the baht is kept so artificially high, what government debt is that hiding?
  2. Absolutely true. I used to be perfect, but I'm much better now!😇
  3. Move right down the car please, there's plenty of room inside
  4. As this is a banking posting, can I add my experience of a visit to the tax office today. Minor details but it may be of interest to some? My intention was to inquire about the P.I.N. we are supposed to obtain, the result was... Provide a copy of your PINK CARD Copy of Passport Copy of Yellow Book Bank statements for 12 months 2023 A form was given, all in Thai. Don't ask. Return on or before 9th April and hand in these details. The lord only knows what is to follow, but my understanding was the Tax would only be required for 2024, payable early 2025. PDFs of the form attached TAX 1.pdf TAX 2.pdf
  5. Podiatrists are about as rare as hens teeth.
  6. The same arguments were put forward when the UK licensing laws were discussed, many years ago. For a few months it was like a free for all, but people realised being able to get a drink 24/7 relieved the pressure. Pubs used to open all day and all night for a while, then they got themselves organised on a rotation system. The 'R White's' system was also out the window and although there are still DUI cases, it is not so prevalent because of the penalties involved.
  7. Well I never. Whatever next?
  8. Only cause you can't reach!🫣
  9. I believe the S-I-L has things the wrong way round. I have very recently had a kidney specialist tell me not to eat red meat, but Fish and Chicken were OK. Also to drink plenty of water as this helps to flush the kidneys.
  10. Are you sure he isn't teen?😀
  11. Instead of the government having to pay, why not insist those on tourist visas have accident and health insurance. So many people believe 'It wont happen to me', and don't bother with insurance.
  12. They won't be for donations that's for sure.
  13. A Tad under whelming. Klaus. Try this one..
  14. Is there a law against riding unicycles on Thai roads? I am not sure, but I believe these guys were, as stated, in the wrong lane. I would also argue the point of the 'right lane is reserved for vehicles traveling at high speed'. As to the 10,000B fine? Well over the top, or is it because they are foreigners!? BUT. As we all know the rules are made up to fit the case in question! You can't do that there here!!!
  15. " credible links/sources", would be very difficult to come by, as governments have ways and means of hiding what they don't want people to know. On the other hand, look at the number of elderly who were discharges from hospitals into old peoples homes. How many of them are known to have died? It was into the thousands.
  16. Try 'Clip Grab'. Downloads video and music so you can store it wherever and listen at leisure.
  17. Drastic but very effective.
  18. A digital wallet would obviously require a phone. If the object of this wallet is to help the poor, where do they get their phone? Or perhaps the phone belongs to a third person, which would be very dubious for the correct person the wallet was provided to?
  19. That statement could quite easily be taken two ways. I don't think we are talking spears and bows and arrows, but?
  20. Yes Crossy, I do know that. However, pressing the send code is what initiated the 'Too many attempts'. Thanks anyway.
  21. I have had a similar problem. Not been able to login due to wanting a verify code, but no code sent. Been like it for days now. Have tried three time on the same day then ii blocks me out and say too many attempts. If I can't get in by 5pm today it will be goodbye Lazada.
  22. You haven't met any of the Woke cry babies as yet then, obviously?
  23. A serious loss of face for a foreigner! Her next move could well be a Go Fund Me page?
