I took my aged father to the Eden Club, he was revitalised.

Close to the Discovery Museum (Chatuchak) is the "Butterfly and Insect Park" Bikes to hire (it's an old golf course.) play areas and fresh air. BTS or MRT to Morchit

The corruption starts at the top and to try to clean up anything is simply a lost cause. In my opinion, the corruption is getting even worse and the police are openly corrupt. At one time they tried to hide it.

Perfectly correct, but the issue is millenia old...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

The essential problem was posed by Plato in the Republic, his work on government and morality. The perfect society as described by Socrates, the main character of the work (see Socratic dialogue), relies on laborers, slaves and tradesmen. The guardian class is to protect the city. The question is put to Socrates, "Who will guard the guardians?" or, "Who will protect us against the protectors?" Plato's answer to this is that they will guard themselves against themselves. We must tell the guardians a "noble lie".^[1] The noble lie will assure them that they are better than those they serve and it is therefore their responsibility to guard and protect those lesser than themselves. We will instill in them a distaste for power or privilege; they will rule because they believe it right, not because they desire it.

It's like communism, it's a great idea but doesn't work.

"Payment will be made in the local currency of the country in which the bank account is held. No charges are made for this service"

my bank HSBC, charge about 600 baht each time, I have changed to 3 month frequency, but maybe the charge is value related.

btw the UK pensions have a great website for doing this sort of thing, there is only one problem..it does not work

By this I mean..a "promise" is made to call you....they never do no matter how many times u submit

My solution, since the "complaint" link was circular, i.e. you always came back to the start.....was to email the webmaster and ask how I might contact the UK Pensions Minister to complain about the structure of the website.

Within a few days I was sent an apologetic email and a call was eventually made.

The whole process took nearly TWO months, had I known I would have snail mailed.

This was back in April, I have yet to receive my 3 months remittance

It seems I'll forgo the money a lot longer before I attempt to check with them.

You can always download Match of the Day. The next day.

Moved to football forum.

Yes I'd do that if I knew who was playing, which channel and what time. Or are you referring to a torrent download ?

As has often been said "Why get it for free when you can pay for it?"

I have missed this weeks mid week soccer, although I searched on Truevision site and Bangkok Post, there is no mention of any broadcast.

Does anyone know if it is broadcast and any reliable way to find a schedule please?

come to the football forum mate - dont get confused though by the name, its soccer

virtually all EPL games are shown on Truevisions. during the week though keep in mind the kick-offs are very late ie 1:30 am and such.

Thanks so much, just bought a dvd recorder with programmable timer with 160 Gigabyte..so I can sleep and watch later.

Easy answer..NEITHER, reliable ? yes reliably unreliable.

Since "things" change frequently, and last post is May, can anyone please advise on the latest requirements to obtain a Residency Certificate

at San Plu ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much, Psalms 23:5

honey

Does any kind person know where one might see the Lions please ? (Without going to RSA or the Zoo thanks.)

I assume you left a zero off of the 800,00 number ane meant 800,000. If it is a fixed deposit account it is no problem.

The current account will be a good back up if it shows regular deposits and withdrawls.

It seems to me you have more than you need to show.

Sorry about the zero, one more quibble please.

Thai Bank ? My ac's are with HSBC.(Rama IV).is this deemed as Thai ?

They are not allowed, as far as I know. to participate in Direct Debits for Utilities etc.

Thanks so Much for your very prompt reply.

I will follow up as to success or not.

I have in excess of Baht800,00 in a DEPOSIT ACCOUNT, and only half that in my CURRENT ACCOUNT.

The Deposit acount is for 3 years and is a year old.

Can you please advise if the above will met the requirements.

I also have a modest UK pension, will it be necessary to get Embassy verification in this case.?

Thank you very much.

For years the only reliable feature about the Post soccer schedules is that they were unreliable. They always and in some cases were right, in saying that they could not get up to date info.

With the changing of the guard on the Sports Desk, the departure of the incredibly trite crutch, it is still

a movable feast.

Firstly they use the tiniest typescript possible, I can imagine it's an in-house joke.

Worst are mid week matches, sometimes they publish the times for channels 3 and 7, sometimes they don't

Even the midweek papers don't list the games.

As I prefer to record matches on the timer, I can't reliably do so.

With Truevisions "remodelling" their website, (jobs for the boys). my expensive DVD recorders are generally dormant.

Before someone advises me to learn to read Thai, thanks but no thanks.

I find the workmen who repair or in my case replace the reciever to have the biggest attitude problem i have met in Thailand. They come to the house, no smile, eye contact, wai, sawadee krap or kiss my arse. Gone in 5 minutes, girlfriend others them a coffee, get a grunt. Leave me each time to change to English language as default ect. No custemer care, just i could not careless. Through that all i smile, nod and keep jai yen.

I always give them 500baht, generally they are here b4 I put the 'phone down..we are no doubt on different lists.

I went by the other night as I have some friends that bought there. I didn't think it looked that bad, there was security and it was lit up. Seemed that about 10 units were occupied.

The colors however are another story and both posters are correct...

Go and have another look during daylight hours.. you may change your mind.. Pretty it ain't...

It has a lovely garden out front, pity about the abandoned crumbling ruins.

Not sure if it is correct to post this here.but I have spent a long time googling and if anyone knows these names I would be very pleased.

Thank You
