Why are Thais unemotional at funerals?
SunsetT replied to RamenRaven's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Im not so sure that they are really feeling much deep down inside.. I think that emotions, like rational thought have evolved less and differently in Thailand than in the West. Culturally and religiously they have no concept of Christian/universal love; only instinctive family love and Buddhist compassion which I would argue is different. In fact Buddhist non-attachment/Detachment exemplified by the Buddha himself abandoning his wife, child and family to seek his own salvation, is quite the opposite of love. More importantly Thais have not (yet) been bombarded by slushy romantic music, movies, stories, and advertising as we have been since the day we were born in the West. Who is to say what is right or preferable. -
With all this talk of Immigration offices, does anyone know if there is any Thai dept. or phone number that you can report any corruption or misapplication of the rules. I just left my IO who are insisting that 800k must be in the bank 3 months before Non O Retirement renewal not 2. This despite my showing them the rules and link printed out in Thai and English from the Thai Government website clearly stating that it is 2 months. The supervisor said that this only applies to the 1st year. I said that it does not say this anywhere on the website. She then came back with a sheet of the rules which apply to the initial application for a Non- O visa for retirement repeating that it is only the 1st year. She then walked away and disappeared before I could point this out!

Govt Approves Wage Hikes for Various Skilled Laborers
SunsetT replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Right....GF's son just left Amazon (Coffee shops) after 1st month's salary. They wanted him to work 9 hrs not 8 so when he originally queried it they said he would get 1 hr overtime. But no overtime was paid so he left. Anyone know if there is a Govt. number to call to report such exploitation? -
Water purification machines, do you trust them?
SunsetT replied to Don Chance's topic in General Topics
Been using these machines for years...usually OK but use your taste buds. If it tastes OK, it is OK. If tainted in anyway find another machine. They are everywhere. They also vary greatly in how much you get for 1 thb. -

Affordable camper van coming to Thailand

A satellite is not required for this. just to learn English, which for better or worse is the 2nd language of the World, and teach English and geography (most cant even read a map) in Thai schools to give students the tools to get a passport and go explore the outside of Thailand for themselves Not keep the population chain bound, brainwashed and blinkered by Thai so that they can be more easily controlled, manipulated and exploited for cheap labour.

SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
What's the betting that most Thais will just continue calling it Bang Sue or Bang Sue Centran or krung Thep/Bangkok Centran.
