Thailand is being run by HighSo Sino Thai Families; Government House is full of them !

A lot that i meet act like 5 year old Children every day !

Most Drunks are already Brain Dead, must be or they wouldn't do it !!

Recently flew back from Hong Kong with Hong Kong Airlines and was warned by the Airline that multiple thefts from Overhead Lockers were occuring on these Flights to Thailand on a consistent basis, so ensure the safety of our critical items.

The reason is that the Boss of Immigration can keep telling the Government Idiots that he is overloaded with work and needs more Lackeys. After all they barely have enough now to keep running out to get Sweet Water Drinks and Snacks all day !

After 20 years i've yet to see any Thai 'Workman' that makes a proper job of just about anything you could name. They have no teaching of Job Skills, it's all Monkey see, Monkey do and dare you ask for the slightest change to anything the answer is usually....''Can only do one way ''. They have no pride in their quality of workmanship and it's only ever about Money....grab the Money and away to the next job.

Without Booze, Bars and Women it's easy to live on 40k., Or; you can be like one of my Old Friends, skint every day and hoping his Pals will buy him the odd Beer and/or Meal, Nowhere to live he can call his own place to rest and no Dosh to get back home, Sad state of affairs but have to say people get theirselves into such situations often.

Such Moaners don't understand that ten years ago you could be at Chiang Mai Immigration for a whole day to get served. Thankfully things have improved a lot thanks mainly to when Big Joke got a grip of things. Of course; there is still plenty of room for improvement but things here take hours instead of minutes, days instead of hours weeks instead of days, and months instead of weeks !

''To be Number 1 ''. They just love to be best (worst) in every field. You can't fix stupid.

''War Room'' ! You have to laugh but don't tell all those 3,000 Generals there might be any kind of War as they will all be running the other way pretty quick to all the Properties they own in The West.

Seems every Tax Office in Thailand has its own idea's but mine told me no Law has been passed through Parliament and therefore nothing has changed until further notice. I just recieved a Cheque for my Tax Refund today so all is well as far as i am concerned. I have been told that we Expats have a Tax allowance of 520,000 Baht before any 'assessable Income' is applied.

One Copper down and about four million still at it !

The Chinese are doing what they have been told to do by their Communist Government and that's the reason the numbers have been falling for the last two years. I have friends in China who tell me that the CCP have issued various warnings about visiting Thailand and suggestions about supporting the Chinese Economy by holidaying inside China. As usual Thailand thinks a bit of Sticking Plaster will improve the situation !

And if you believe that you will believe anything !

In a Country of persistent Law Breakers from top to bottom, not to mention the bent Building Inspectors, the intruduction of new laws means diddly <deleted> !

Horrid truth is that less then 10% of Buildings in Bangkok are Quake Proof; the main reason for this is that Bangkok is not high on the list of vulnerable to Earthquakes. However; as time passes this is likely to change as The Planet is finding ways to punish Man for causing so much change and turmoil right across the World. Future Generations will be a lot weaker, sicker and die earlier than the long lives many of us are now enjoying owing to many different factors, all Man made. Babies are now being born with Microplastics in their bodies and will develop Cancerous symptoms before they are even Teenagers.

Not as unusual as you think; i had a 34 year old Neighbour collapsed and died outside the front of his house in England back in the 70's. Massive Coronary Heart Attack after playing Squash, which he played regularly and 'appeared' to be as fit as any other person.

Less Pick-Up's on the road the better; most people only seem to use them to go shopping !

It will be a very short 'investigation' for two reasons.....1..No Money in it for Plod, 2..He was a Farang so obvious Suicide. End of Investigation !

I see them in Supermarkets loading Trolley's with Whiskey, Gin, Vodka and Cases of Beer. Does that not count as showing ''Potential damage to the revered image of Thai Monastic life '' ? Bunch of Jpkers; just Men wearing Orange Frocks !

Overloaded PIck-Ups are common here; they seem to think that they are constructed to take the loads normally loaded on a 5-Tonner. Does'nt help much when tyres are not inflated properly either.

She wants 'Clarity'. In Thailand that means ''Er; Solly, no have !

Cops not interested....no money in it !

He better start wearing a bullet proof Jacket as there is no room for honesty in a Country rotten from top to bottom with Corruption !

While Thailand contunues to mark time other neighbouring Countries keep improving things for Visitors, especially safety and security. The thinking here (what thinking there is) only ever revolves around collecting money for the already over rich few and never spending any to improve the 'Experience' of Tourists. In other words it's just same old, same old. Chiang Mai is supposedly Thailand's Second City but drive around The Moat and sample the disgusting Road Surfaces, lack of decent Pavements for People to walk on safely, drivers intent on NOT STOPPING at Pedestrian Crossings etc and Local Police Force not in the least interested in Safety Matters for Tourists. Will things ever improve ? Not while the Country continues to be run by the old Archaic Dinosaurs running it now !
