Demand For 712 Baht Minimum Wage Nationwide At May Day Rally
mania replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And so it continues like a dog chasing its tail I told my wife back when it went 200 to 300 a day. This is good for you to watch as I watched the same in the USA as I grew up. Because what will now happen is eventually yes it will go 712 a day & more guaranteed But for the companies paying it will they keep their prices the same for products after doubling the pay expense?...Of course Not they will raise the price of goods to offset the price of labor So the dog chasing his tail game begins. Because the workers happy with the 712 a day pay soon find they again cannot afford things as prices rise & ask for 1400 a day Last but not least many of the foreigners that moved to Thailand for the lower cost of living start to wonder where to next ???? I am not saying Thai workers do not deserve 712 & more per day. I am just saying this is how it goes ever higher & the minimum wage folks never catch up -
Tracking down the hit & run driver (if there was one ) is no guarantee of payment...My wife was kht by a Lor Deng driver he basically in the end said I have this much baht period.. Add to that the many uninsured drivers in Thailand or even unlicensed...There are NO guarantees in Thailand & you are 100% in a get it your dang self service country. So remember get it your dang self before you need it ???? Anyone without adequate self or bought insurance living in Thailand is just a ticking time bomb

Sadly....This is also why I think health insurance required as part of visa extension is only matter of when not if

Best Starting Salary for University grads
mania replied to EVENKEEL's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That makes more sense to me. Someone told me they had to have college grad to apply which sounded odd even for Thailand...unless she meant for certain positions/pay levels? -

It is odd they would go MRI Normally wouldn't they first do a stress test, echo cardiogram & even then a CTA scan would be next ...If in fact those showed signs THEN maybe MRI next if there was a question of structural integrity afaik But you said yours were normal/unremarkable If I were you I would settle down & take a breath

US President Joe Biden announces 2024 presidential run
mania replied to Social Media's topic in World News
See that is the first wrong step in the mess & why it cannot be solved We the people do not really choose who is on the primaries to begin with The lobbyist & special high campaign contributors decide that thru funding of campaigns & slick ad's & BS rhetoric in media releases & speeches written for them The primaries just like the general is a illusion to make the people think they have a choice at all. The only way that could be true is if they add "None Of The Above" as a choice on the ballots If none of the above wins as it surely will then they need to keep nominating until the people approve of the nomination But no instead as always we choose between which is least terrible although we know in advance they all are unsuited to the task It is just an illusion to divide the people into two sides & let the blame game continue thru eternity with nothing ever being done or improved except for the usual war machine suppliers & big banks, special interest groups, lobbyist etc -

???? He will forget long before 2024 what he is seeking -
How you put these two thing together is a classic religious zealot thinking (turn everything into a religious argument) 1- No pets allowed If they allow yours then they need to allow the pitbull behind you right? 2- You asked probably in English why not...He answered in what you thought was or was not a word of another religion? So what?? How does that change the clearly posted rule?

This^^^^ is the best route & I used it last year in Thailand for four months worked perfectly No need to pay roaming charges just bought AT&T lowest unlimited talk & text $26 a month on auto pay While in Thailand using wifi calling could call USA free & receive all texts from banks & credit cards etc no prob. When I called USA family they always said "Oh thought you were in Thailand" ????

Probably best because as you have seen it would be loaded against you at your age. Add to that your probably better off cherry picking the few good months a year Thailand actually has. Recent years have only gotten worse & worse pollution & temperature wise during the bad months. Now they also start to realize govt assisted artificially low energy rates were not sustainable. Should have been obvious when we always saw fuel prices comparable to elsewhere in the world why was electricity so cheap? But as you say most ex-patriots get free or can get free healthcare in their own countries + many other benefits if needed compared to ZERO in Thailand So yeah go enjoy 3+ cool months with good air & climate a year & smile ????
