If the Brown Envelope is thick enough there will be no charges !

Fast Forward acceleration for the already rich and full speed in reverse for the poor; normal Thailand then !

Back to the bad old days yesterday after two years of peace and quiet and fast service. Went in to Counter 3 at 0945 for Final Stamp on my Marriage Extension; normally at most a ten minute job but the place was packed with people, no Aircon, just a Wall Fan, seats all full etc and dozens standing around like me. Eventually got out at 11.55; not good at all and what will it be like when the Chinese return in any numbers ? At 10.30 they were already calling out numbers that should return after 1pm as they could not cope with the volume. Sadly it was more like a Cattle Station and the 'new' building is nowhere big enough to cope with the throughput.

''Masterplan'' ? Don't make me laugh or i may spit out my Lunch !

Driven by Dreams more like ! Majority of Thai's i know constantly dream of winning the Lottery; having a bigger/nicer House, bigger Car/ghastly Crew Cab Pick-Up, a new Phone/Tablet, eating out every day. Nobody ever seems to think they can improve their life by changing anything or learning anything that may help them improve their lot over time. No; they want it all now and think they can get it all by borrowing money or be even luckier and take it from Farang !

If all the Thieves in this country were jailed; there would be very few people left. The Schools are only the tip of the Iceberg !

It's a 'playing with the Phone' thing !

Been claiming mine back from Local Tax Ofice for years; once you've done it once they give you a Card with your Tax Number and Personal Details and it speeds things up from then on. They usually Credit my Bank Account within a month; used to be done with Cheques, a pain as they could only be cashed at a Branch of Krung Tai Bank but now they Credit a Bank of my choice.

Woke us in Hang Dong !

They can't cancel the Sub' orders when certain people have already taken the 'Bungs' !

Been happening here for years; they charge for just about everything, even poor little Somchai who saves his 10 Baht's in a China Pig gets charged to put coins into his Account. You wouldn't mind so much if they gave First Class Service but they are a World away from that.

Looking down you see a Cornacopia of Cracked and Chipped Plates and Dishes; the damaged items filled with dirt and germs and where Plastic Dishes are used they are often old and stained ! Quite often the 'Cutlery' is total junk or should have been replaced months or years earlier. Some of the food is not too bad but the Mrs can do much better than so called 'Hiso' Establishments.

You forgot loads of Cheap Gas !

''Thailand Expects '' ...Now where have i read that before ?

They haven't seen half of what's coming from The North yet; it's on its way now with more to follow !

Shame they don't start Trials of laying decent Road and Pavement Surfaces instead of the rubbish they lay now ! They could also spend money on teaching people to build Homes and Factories properly, on Road Safety TV Adverts instead of the mindless drivel that interupts programs all too often and on actually teaching people to drive properly and pass worthwhile tests ! At least a Hundred other area's to spend money more worthwhile than Military Weapons only ever used to suppress their own people.

Oh Dear; this could lead to another Senior Policeman having to leave the country in fear of his life and taking his Family with him. 'Policemen' are not allowed to be Policemen here unless they are only targetting the poorer Somchai's !

He is supposed to be concerned for people's Health; yet never says a word to promote the use of Helmets when riding on Motorbikes; using Seatbelts in Cars or Drink Driving habits that cause the Death of many. Of course; there is no money in those subjects but promoting the wearing of Masks no doubt brings in revenue !

Most Malaysians I've met over the last 20 years only want to come here to sell something or for chaeper sex than they can get at home . General opinion seems to be that Thailand is a Lunatic Asylum !

It's all Government Workers. All the Banks offer crazy amounts of money to Government Employees. My Wife was a Midwife for 25 years; retired in 2008; no need for any debt as she has plenty of her own money and she has me too but the Banks are constantly offering her huge loans because she has a Government Pension. We have been telling them for years to stop sending her this junk but they still continue as if it just falls on deaf ears. They encourage all these people to be in huge debt when it should be done on an individual basis depending on personal circumstances; it's almost like some sinister Master Plan to keep millions in deep doo doo !

By the time they all get to Court and actually convicted he will be long retired and most likely be Ashes. They and their Families will never be in any danger of losing the spoils either as they will have been spent or moved Off-Shore !

A lot of people still rob Banks in Thailand but mainly it's the Staff doing the robbing of both the Bank and plundering Customer's Accounts ! Apart from the last bit i'm happy if anyone robs them as they are the worst Banks for Customer Service on the entire Planet !

I'm sure the Locals will be forever grateful to this Goon. The same Goon whose job it was to make sure Flood Prevention Measures were in place well before any Flood could occur !

Ah yes; this will be the one that was going to be 'the first' in Asia in 2020 !!

RIP the Lady and her unborn Child. Will the Murderer plese own up as the Police are waiting to do the usual useless 'Reconstruction', from which they will learn nothing !
