That's how Western aligned countries work. Underpay the brown people to come and work on the plantation.

Well on the flip side, there has probably been a couple of hundred Palestinian women and children killed for each hostage taken and for each Israel killed on Oct 7 2023. That collective terminal punishment should show Hamas a thing or two, 'eh? I think I saw how effective that was in a movie. "Kill one of ours we'll kill 100 of yours." Fair's fair, right?

Here is another issue I've thought about that I'm not sure how to resolve. I believe that places like Ebay will hold payment in escrow and an intermediary until a buyer receives and accepts the goods. If you're selling online, the receipt of funds and the receipt of good is pretty much done on a handshake if you are not actually performing the final transaction in person. Given all the scams and scammers it's an issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.

Dee = Good (in Thai)

Where can you sell thing online in Thailand on a site that supports English language? If the site is specific to musical instruments, even better.

I don't steal...period. If I was accused of stealing I'd demand the police, prove I don't have whatever I'm accused of taking, then file defamation charges. I know people steal, but I don't. Ever. The second Buddhist precept: Adinnadana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami I will not take what is not given. If it doesn't belong to me, I don't take it. If accused of stealing, that really is a major issue from a Buddhist perspective.

I've actually ask if the vendor has returned TOO much money to me. I don't want to be ripped off nor do I want some cashier, say at 7/11, having to have their wages docked for giving out too much change by mistake.

If I hadn't taken it, I'd strip, and then file criminal defamation charges.

It's a good consumer protection law.

It's been this way since I got here 17 years ago. The Thai government has absolutely no will or desire to change it. It could be done but they just don't want to.

Ya'll off to join bob smith. 👋See ya. Don't let the door hit you in your Hiso, "Quality Expat" butts.

Muslim Faith Leaders Endorse Kamala Harris Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict Sure - of course they do. Hey, I know. Send some more 2000 lb bombs to drop on Palestinian and Lebanese Arabs.

Why is the Biden/Harris movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories that MAGA are somehow all conspiracy theorists? Really - the Left are actually the bull-goose loonies who are completely out of touch with reality. The Lefties project their own psychosis onto the conservative right and claim they are the crazies when it's the progressive Left who are completely nuts. Tampons in the boy's bathrooms. Men can have babies. Ha ha ha ha ha! Change my mind!

You probably have less productive life left than her. So I suggest you end it and seek to find someone who you can be happy with until you die. Why live the rest of your life in misery?

Let me guess what they are going to do. Suggest that the kids smoke cigarettes supplied by the Thai tobacco monopoly instead. The same monopoly which wants e-cigarettes outlawed. Change my mind!

Outlaw all nicotine products including cigarettes. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin if not more so. Speaking as an ex-nicotine addict.

But I bet he got laid every weekend by status seeking babes!

A lot of those buyer are status seekers. "Look at me, I own an EV. I'm special!" Well, ya'll paid for it - your social status! Too bad. I have no freaking sympathy and I don't want any government climbing in to reimburse these people for their poor judgement. Calculators, smartphones, computers, you name it. Cutting edge technology was expense and then as manufacturing caught up with demand, prices plummet. That's economic reality. Really - for those who can't grasp that, that's your problem, not the government's.

Tough. You buy bleeding edge technology and then the prices go down. It's not the government's business to make buyers "whole" for buying the bleeding edge. Look at calculators. A simple calculator that I can buy for about $1.00 now cost a few hundred dollars when they first hit the market. But I guess I want the government to reimburse me for buying a calculator back in the late 1970s. Right? The prices of EV are coming down as the prices of lithium batteries plummets. That's the technology cycle. If you want to buy the first cutting edge technology regardless of what it is? Your going to pay for it, and then the prices of the technology will come down. Study economics. But low-information consumers whine when the realities of economic hits them squarely in the head. But hey - you got bragging rights that you paid for. "Look at me! I have and EV and you don't! I'm special." So the Hiso wannabe are now whining and crying. Boo Hoo. If you're going to cry about it - don't buy new technology until it is well established and is manufactured in quantity.

I won't even bother to read the rest of this drivel.

Conspiracy Theory is a pejorative used to dismiss anything but the "one and only one acceptable narrative" and to shut down all further discussion on a topic. Essentially it's a form of censorship where all but one narrative is accepted and then anyone who disagrees is openly maligned as a "conspiracy theorist." If you don't know where the term "conspiracy theory" originated, then you are probably a rather low-information clone who is too cucked to question authority.

I guess it sucks when overt Vote-Buying doesn't work, 'eh?

Yep - exactly my experience as well in Northern District 5.
