Funny; i've always thought Infidelity and Corruption were the main parts of a Cops Duties in Thailand ! Stuff like this is rampant in our area. -
Britain’s Leadership Crisis at a Time of Global Peril
trainman34014 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What Leadership ? The Country has become Rudderless and is floating in a Sea of Sharks; and that incudes Trump who is only interested in himself being the all powerful Messiah. He couldn't care less about the American People or anyone else unless they want to contrubute to the Trump Fund ! -

Lifting Alcohol Restrictions Could Boost Thai Economy by Billions
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They just never 'get it'. What would bring in a lot more money is lowering the dumb high taxes on Foreign booze, especially Wine, as that is what most of us want. As things are i never buy Foreign Wine or Spirits in Thailand and pick it up in other Countries i visit twice or three times a year on holidays. Wife doesn't drink so that gives me double Duty-Free on the way back in and also visitors coming in bring me more, so always a full Drinks Cabinet. The Thai's are always on about 'Free Trade Deals' with other Countries but what they really mean is a deal where they pay no Import Taxes on their goods going into other Countries but charge high amounts of Tax on goods coming in. This is the one area i agree with Trump on; you put hight Taxes on our goods and we will do the same to you, let's have a level playing field. -
IKEA Arrives in Chiang Mai: New Store Opening February 2025
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Shame Makro didn't use the space to build a Multi-Storey Car Park which would have been much more useful. Now parking area much reduced with most of what's left out in the glare of the sun and too far to walk to the store. Still; this is Thailand where Customers inconvenience don't matter eh ! -

Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just a thought. If you've been here for 15 years you should have had a Pink Card and House Yellow Book for many years already. Amazing how many Farang can't seem to get their affairs in order ! -
Don't you know that these places employ the blind ? They must do as the amount of junk that gets through wouldn't pass !

I bought a new Car 12 years ago; it still has less than 30000 Klicks on the clock and lives mainly under cover. I check the Tyres regularly and last year i started finding cracks on the top curves of the outer walls even though the Tyres are less than half worn, so i had new Tyres fitted minus the spare which is unused and perfect. Funny thing was the Tyre Shop Manager told me they would be selling my old Tyres as part -worns with no guarantee. Apparently there are plenty of Thai takers for such Tyres.

Migrants in UK: The Challenge of Integration
trainman34014 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Most have never wanted to integrate, just take everything they can get whilst slagging off the British way of living. As for being at 'A Crossroads', it passed that point more than 20 years ago and since then Britain is going down a Blind Alley thanks to tranches of gutless Politicians in all the major Political Parties. -
Head-On Collision Kills Five in Ang Thong
trainman34014 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
RIP those lost. This sort of thing will never be eradicated from Thai roads as the majority of drivers, particularly the Men, are 'Me First' very selfish types where their own importance outweighs all other safety considerations. I wonder how many of these people were wearing Seat Belts ? However; with that force of impact even Belts won't save everyone. -
Bangkok prison scrutinised for bribes and Chinese inmate privilege

Always makes me laugh when a Thai Citizen is 'surprised' by Corruption in any Government Institution in this Country when i've never met a Thai who believes there is any honesty in any of them ! -
