Thai's can't count more than the fingers they have but they know how to steal money faster than they need to count it !

Back when Thai were good, 25 years ago and more, they were very good. Britsh Airways haven't been any good since the days of a Fleet of Brtannia's !

They lost the plot when they seperated with Scandinavian Airways; been very mediocre since then at best, mainly owing to very poor Thai Management. Gave up flying with them many years ago and would never go back !

Those Polled were most likely Family and Friends of Thai Politicians !

Good plan if that's what you wanted because as long as you spend 6 months of the year in Blighty you are entitled to a full Pension.

Didn't read the small print then did they or do enough homework !

I paid in huge amounts of NI for the full 50 years of my working life but will never get a rise in Pension living here ! However; i knew that before coming here and prepared myself financially. Those that don't do so are just poor Managers of money and should live where they can get the increases, simple is it not ?

Normally the only thing that 'Spurs Action' here is Wads of Money !

Yawn; after being here 20 years and seeing this so many times i know this will end up either swept under the carpet entirely or at worst for the offender having to apologise and give numerous wai's to the offended. Thailand never learns; still stuck in a Cultural Black Hole created 500 years ago !

He forgot 3...Most Geezers you meet in Bars were once members of the SAS !

Would you expect anything else from a Nation of Chestbeaters and Flag Wavers !

He needed aTug to help berth a Corvette; i wouldn't let him sail a Duck on my Bath Water !

It's the Manufacturers of Food and Drink that need hammering into line as 'The Public' here are too lazy to deal with waste properly except for the ones that collect and recycle for cash. They go on about getting the Cafe's to do away with Plastic Straws and Markets not using Plastic Bags etc but the easiest answer to this is simply BAN the manufacture of these items. Oh dear; can't do that for upsetting too many Rich Business Men who don't care two hoots for the People or the Environment ! Put all Drinks back in returnable Glass Bottles like we had as Kids and do away with all the Double Packaging on things like Biscuits, Cakes etc. We take Cloth Shopping Bags with us to Market and invite Traders to put the Veggies straight in but they want to put them in Plastic Bags first because nobody from any 'Ministry' ever teaches them how do do anything properly to protect the Environment. Of course; it will never happen because Public Officials here only want to do things that earn them Backhanders !

Banks constantly pushing people away from Cash by removing hundreds af ATM's from all over the place. Banks want to control everyones money at the lowest possible cost to themselves and it's time to fight them in anyway we can.

Seems to me many Thai's live in Outer Space for the most part already !

At School they teach the Kids that Thailand is 'The Greatest Nation On Earth'. If this were truly the case then surely it would be completely self sufficient and wouldn't need Tourists ! Lol.

Same he wasn't pointing in the direction of his own head ! But wait....maybe he was !!

Whilst it sounds covienient i don't trust any Thai Officialdam and always get mine at the Immigration Office before time to fly.

Well; we live in Chiang Mai and have been wearing Masks in Public Places since the Covid Outbreak. Now we are in 'Pollution Season' so all the more reason to use them. In other words; any new regulation is pointless for us personally but it is descriminatory no matter how you look at it, but what do you expect when the whole Country is Xenophobic thanks to years of Government mismanagement regarding people from other Countries. As i remind Immigration Officials on every visit to Offices...'' People from another Country are called 'Foreigners' and people from another Planet are called 'Aliens' '' !

No doubt every Family members Suitcase will be full of 'Unearned Income' !

2028 ? The 'Feasiblity Studies' wlll still be going on by then as they only started ten years ago !

No; probably Fleetwood instead !

MONEY is much more important than health in Thailand. The Prime Minister confirmed that with his comments about the disastrous effects of Pollution in The North !

As usual they want it all their own way or they cry foul !

After several years of normal readings; i have two full medicals a year and i'm 78, my LDL went above the safety levels and the Doctor asked me if i wanted a Drug to help or if i wanted to try to correct it myself through diet and exercice. I upped my excercise every day and stopped eating so much processed food laced with too much salt and sugar and six months later i was back in safe numbers. I find it just takes will power and more thinking about what food i eat. I hate Drugs unless there is no other way and the longer i can control life without any the better.
