You need to be less sensitive and/or change your 'drinking buddies'. I mean you're not doing the kissing, so what does it matter to you?

Yes, that was my response to you! The 'hate' propaganda is primarily from the west aimed at China regardless that it's the west that's in the habit of bombing other countries and overthrowing governments they don't like.

Do you not maintain contact with your friends/peers whilst in Thailand, no WhatsApp groups?

And why do think that would happen? In all my years here I've never met that level of animosity.

Why? There are western expats currently living and working in China, not all westerners are fearful of the Sinosphere.

Zombie apocalypse

It'll all end in tears and a go-fund-me page

Worth noting that former Israel prime minister Ehud Olmert called Defense Minister Israel Katz's "humanitarian city" plan in Gaza a "concentration camp". No doubt die hard Zionist will say he's being anti-Semitic. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-860946

Talk about clutching at straws

Effectively yes. If there are no children and a surviving parent inherits, once they have whatever inheritance there was they are free to dispose of it as they see fit.

Of course it doesn't! I was just curious to understand the recent changes. I'm old enough to remember needing to go to the bank fill out forms in triplicate to send money overseas, pay through the nose for the privilege and the recipient waiting a week for the money to arrive.

It was a joke you numpty

The other variable is the partner bank used. I've found, checking the transaction receipt, that the ones that have been delayed 20 minutes, 2 or 3 hours, all say Tranglo as partner bank, the 'instantaneous' transfers show Kasikorn as partner.

Good luck with that!

It's a question I often ask myself whilst reading the posts on AN

+1

I'm fully aware of what a coalition government is, and indeed a constitutional monarchy and bicameral parliament. None of which detracts from the incongruity on Anutin Charnvirakul eyeing up the PM slot with such little popular support.

From Google Order of Inheritance (Intestate Succession): Descendants: This includes children, grandchildren, and so on. Parents: If there are no descendants, the parents inherit. Full-blood Brothers and Sisters: If no descendants or parents, full-blood siblings inherit. Half-blood Brothers and Sisters: If no descendants, parents, or full-blood siblings, half-siblings inherit. Grandparents: If no closer relatives, grandparents inherit. Aunts and Uncles: If no closer relatives, aunts and uncles inherit. Surviving Spouse: A surviving spouse is also entitled to inherit, subject to specific provisions in Section 1635 of the Civil and Commercial Code.

Yes, Malaysians tend to visit Thailand for short breaks, Malaysia has on average 20 public holidays a year, some states 25, but it's wrong to suggest it's mainly men going to Hat Yai for sex, that's a very outdated stereotype. That's not to say that isn't a part of the tourism from Malaysia, Danok thrives on that business. But if you live in Hat Yai you'd know that most of the Malaysian tourists visiting over the weekend are family groups, Malay, Indian and Chinese Malaysians. And it's not just Hat Yai, there are direct flights from KL to Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Hat Yai, many Malaysians drive up to Thailand and they don't all stop in Hat Yai. Thailand is an easily accessible holiday destination that's not too expensive, ideal in times when Malaysians might not have the cash or confidence in the economic situation to afford more distant holidays.

They did, they closed in 2012, my HSBC Thailand accounts got taken up by Krungsri. HSBC Thailand is corporate/commercial accounts only.

Trump, you must be joking. Greta Thunberg's a shoo it.

I was in Malaysia last week, locals there are complaining about the number of Chinese tourists since Malaysia gave China visa free travel. Probably where TAT's missing Chinese are going.

There's always been snake oil salesmen because there's always been folk gullible enough to buy the stuff, always will be, just the commodity that changes.

Only in Thailand. Anutin's Bhumjaithai Party came 4th in the 2023 elections with 3% of the popular vote, way behind Move Forward on 38%, yet Charnvirakul has his eyes on the PM spot !?!
