    Thanks, ubonjoe. I'll do a border run and then get my next visa in the UK. Good to know the immigration officers at the airport won't see an alert when I come back.

    Ubonjoe  you constantly amaze me with your knowledge on visa requirements , keep up the good work am sure hundreds of people  hold you in high regard, never had to ask you myself as I have a simple retirement visa. Good job.

    This is not a supply problem it's a budget problem, at least 19 governement hospitals nationwide are broke and the rest can't afford the cost of increasing the salaries and status of those nurses. The cause? An ageing population, one of the most severe anywhere.

    The budget problem is that a third of it is stolen by these morons who won't pay them.

    Why do you care what others are doing? If others do not use seat belts, helmets or sitting behind in a pick up it will have no impact on your life. Take care of yourself and shut up.

     

    *drunk driving, reckless driving and highspeed driving is the problem 

    
    Because it harms others around them...

    And if you can't accept how things works in Thailand, pack your back and get hell out of here, or if you are a toruist stop coming here, go somewhere else, the only on that can do something abut what you don't like it's yourself.. the choice is your's.

     

    Jesus what a dreadful post, sounds to me. Do you ever consider other people may not think like you,.

    Great post Sheryl, i am lucky enough to be able to care and take care of my girl ,her kids and Mum,this has raised their quality of life a lot,i gain great pleasure from this,i like helping people,as for myself my needs are few and modest,but to be able to make a difference to some one's life and improve their lot gives me a lot of satisfaction.It is sad in this world that other people only want to destroy ,such as Isis. I feel if you can think i did a good thing today,which can be difficult you are doing well.

    I understand this one hundred per cent, my gf and I take care of her niece now twelve years old who is a bright kid, looked after her for five years send her to a private school trips abroad the list goes on.

    taking care of a kid has placed many restrictions on our llife together , the kid has  a dream to be a teacher we can make that dream come true, she will be the first kid in her extended family to go to university . 

    This gives me more pleasure than anything I have done in my life, I should add I have two grown kids from a former marriage that are both very successful in life, but that is because whom they were born to, myself had a very good life despite been born to a poor family.

    all her family is rooting for her just hope I live long enough to see it, however should I croak it my will is such that it would take care of everything, 

    i must stress how happy I am to give a poor kid a break in life, beats anything I have ever done..

  5. God is for people with a scant education up there with ghosts being born again and so on , the people who peddle this nonesense simply sell hope.

    religion has been at the top of the list for wars and death since man started bowing down to the sun.

    the world has been here for millions of years , ruled by reptiles, semi apes, evolution is a proven fact a scientific fact, religion is a theory propagated by chaletons.

    life is what you make it, nothing is pre ordained, as my local priest used to tell us kids you just have to believe , even though it's bullshit to anyone with half a brain ( the last sentence is mine ).

    wonder if the moderators will consider this worth a ban.

    never mind you did ask.

  6. If you are going to retire here you must be fifty years old or above, you will also need a proven income of 65,000 the per month or 800,000 in a Thai bank account, seems to me you have not taken this into your planning.

  7. Myself I am a placid easy going guy, yet when people tailgate me doing eighty plus leaving inches only between us, my whole personality changes, I put on the emergency indicators slow down to twenty and am ready for a fight, really not a good idea at seventy four years old , but difficult to change..

    when are the govt going to start arresting all those involved and seize their assets that were gained through these corrupt practices, it happens all over Thailand but they never try to recoup all the money that has been stolen. The officials all have huge houses, land etc all paid for with the illegal money but do not lose it, this is simply pathetic on the govts part as they do not make them pay for their crimes, screw their families welfare, they are also profiting from what they do so seize it all. This isnt confined to this sort of thing either, govt office officials demand millions to approve anything required by businesses, I have seen it time and time again, corruption is rife and needs to be stopped

    Who will arrest them ? The government ! The bib ? They all swim in the same pond.

    These are normal and most probably you will need to pay import duties applicable. Thai customs are quite strict and they do random checks of all items incoming regardless or size and value.

    They will also shaft you for unexplained charges ashas happnedto me. They are as corrupt as the bib and immigration. Pay the money and forget about it.
