This is assuming they are both insured

A big assumption....especially from an expert in the field.

What a ludicrous thing to say.

Yet you live in thailand?

 

 

I no longer live in Thailand. You have to read in context to what I was commenting about.

When I did live here, however, I happened to notice that the majority of tourists (nevermind the local population) just don't know how often they are taking their life in their own hands when they embark on a bus, minivan or go anywhere near the islands.....let alone even set foot on a boat.

The amount of tourists who end up in hospital with a GoFundMe webpage is ridiculous, and they're lucky they can go home without being stitched up in a box. If the insurers are making a fuss then thats saying something on a larger scale.

This is GOOD if actually enforced and maintained as a rule and law..... time will tell!

BUT - SERIOUS QUESTION...... maybe ThaiVisa can answer??

 

What about recent articles about tons of e-waste being imported into Thailand since China shut it's doors to the world's e-waste.

This has been reported on recently (last few weeks) but is also very dangerous with many toxic elements that could end up in land-fill or worse being stripped (mined) out somewhere locally without any due care and attention?

We need an update on that!!

However, earlier this year, it was disclosed that many recycling plants operators were taking advantage of legal loopholes in the regulations dealing with plastic scraps and electronic parts imports to smuggle contaminated plastic waste and other hazardous waste into the country, leading to environmental problems

It will only be lifted when the acting PM has enough credibility to run fair and square, which isn't anytime soon.

Everyone understands.

We’re open for voluntary application and if we don’t acquire sufficient numbers of cadets, we have to obtain them via drafting. It’s just as natural as that

Not all that different from the current political support strategy.

A few months ago I hired a new engineering team member. Straight from the uni new grad Bs not masters. Starting salary 23.5 k. She will be in 40k in about 3 to 4 years and growing fast. She isn't even fluent in English yet, otherwise her salary would be more. This is in electrical engineering. Similar salaries for several other engineering jobs in our company. And I know also in a lot of other comparable companies. 

 

Do you have active knowledge about salaries in Thailand or are you just guessing? 

I'm not guessing.

I think you've got a good approach to what you offer your employees, and I hope it continues to work out.

I do not believe there are many companies that share your payscale for graduates, certainly not locally operated.

Money money money

Never lend anything to anyone (especially money). Never rent any property to anyone either.

What about never come out of your cave?

There are occasions where your advice is sound, and others where it is not. It's like saying the air is polluted, better to not breathe.

Do these numpties think clever serious film makers are going to engage with them.

They could remake the whole thing in a cave......any cave. Add cgi for the actual geography. A few landscapes in Laos or Myanmar would do it, and a few villager extras. 

The entitlement and greed of these clowns is pure gold.

Edit...as in comic gold

Clearly a very focused man.

The new pro junta party look a bit too young for politics. Possibly more capable than the current lot, but still a bit too young.....with the exception of the lifeless wax figurine on the right.

Not everyone can afford a mask.

Nice sentiments though, wonder do these wise poetic images get out to his cronies or are they just directed at the general impoverished?
