Endless handwringing and "two tier" cliches. Probably stuff about Starmer wanting to destroy Britain etc etc. Interesting that it's so quiet.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:56:23 +0000It's in the article. Thai electrical is all you need to know.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:50:47 +0000Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:49:53 +0000Paint it with a wide prolific brush now innit ? 77 year old geezer should have known better , hope he's back in the council estate on the dole where he belongs .....Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:48:42 +0000I think it’s more likely BYD’s subcontractor didn’t install the charger, or it was done incorrectly. Why would the buyer of the car pay a third party installer if BYD provides it all for free?Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:24:03 +0000You are given to hysterical hyperbole as you attempt to characterize a group who pays more than their fair share as paying nothing. In the UK, the top 1% of income earners pay 1/3 of all income tax and capital gains tax revenues. The top 0.1% earn 5% of all salary paid, but pay 11% of all income tax. In contrast, the bottom 50% of earners earn 24% of all salary paid, but only pay 10% of income tax. In effect a large portion of the UK is getting a free ride or a very cushy subsidized ride on the backs of a small number of workers. Your claim that the 1% pay no tax is an absolute falsehood. The immorality is your attempt to characterize people who are compensated for their hard work as not contributing. This is consistent with the recycled political slogans you have carried forward from the 1970's. I don't need unemployed "students" or left over social activists to tell me how to live my life. Nor do I need them getting in my way when I go to work, a 4 letter word that is foreign to most of them.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:22:25 +0000So the AI will probably pick up naturalised Thais or half Thais with foreign names too. I am waiting for them to visit.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:15:16 +0000Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:12:41 +0000Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:07:43 +0000Bombs are not the help most countries need.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:04:04 +0000You would need to check with your immigration office if they accept monthly bank transfers as proof of income for a marriage extension. There are many immigration offices that will not accept this for marriage extensions, and will only accept proof of salary of a work permit job inside of Thailand as proof of income.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:03:16 +0000And perhaps it would create a balance of power in the Middle East. Israel has been unrestrained for far too long. I'd like to see all countries get rid of nukes. But the US doesn'r get to call all the shots.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:02:23 +0000This 🤡 Anutin couldn’t order a pizza delivery.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:00:04 +0000Not to mention the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" who also deserve a break. Until Trump thought it was good optics to kick them out.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:59:19 +0000Well, the Non O-A visa can only be applied for on the reason of retirement and 50+. The Non O can be applied for on the reason of retirement and 50+, or Thai family and 20+. It's my understanding that both the Non O-A and Non O visas applied for on the basis of retirement 'prohibit employment', whilst there is no such restriction on a Non O visa applied for on the basis of Thai family. It's fact that the very first extension must be based on the same reason as the original visa application. This has been posted many times on this forum.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:55:32 +0000Seriously, stop bleating about it, it's pathetic. The thumbs down means "disagree" so those people probably disagree with you. You don't have to write an essay, you can just disagree and move on. It's useful to see how many people agree or disagree with your posts, it is what they are there for. I sometimes do it if I have written my reasons before and don't want to repeat them, or if I don't have time, or if I can't be bothered but I want to register that I think the post is stupid and I disagree with it. Do you ask everyone who gives you a thumbs up to explain why they agree with you? No. Exactly. So stop being a hypocrite. And they are not even anonymous so why does disagreeing with you make someone a "coward"? It's pathetic. It really gets my goat all the supposed adults whinging about downvotes. Man up.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:54:45 +0000México, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are a real beach. Tough, those Texans, too.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:54:05 +0000I call bull. Myanmar can’t make Trump any money, so you can cross it off the list. The US used to be “all countries” in one place until Trump decided a lot of productive immigrants just didn’t deserve to share the bounty. The US did not “win” WWII. It had a lot of help. That was a war declared by Congress. There hasn’t been one since, which makes all those wars after 1945 illegal. What’s Rocket Boy learning, exactly? Selling nukes to Iran, maybe? The US has always fancied itself the all-powerful world police in every administration. What innocent lives were lost by American inaction? And what lives were lost and where? Sure. Iran bad. I agree. Not our business.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:51:46 +0000I'd like to know the towns and villages in Thailand that have a market on every corner selling 75 baht a bottle? my nearest market in the town i live in in Thailand that does that is 10 minutes away on a motorbike, my nearest spoons in my hometown in the UK is 5 min walk. We can both play that game. That wasn't my point. My point is he's exaggerating how cheap it is here. It's cheaper than the uk on that there is no doubt, but to imply that 2quid pints is the norm is nonsense.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:47:32 +0000There's no reason for the estate agents to be published if they're not doing anything wrong, all they're doing is selling. Accountants or lawyers, nominees and the foreign "owners" are the ones in the wrong, legally.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:43:36 +0000That's because MIKE, US wages are outrageously high. Just found out that average salary for UPS driver is 150k with healthcare fully covered. In Canada UPS drivers make 50k which is about... what....36k USD? You will notice i never bash Americans here because it is a great country. We in canada don't have these opportunities. My wife in canada has zero opportunities. I think in the end I will just sell my property, move to Thailand and invest everything in US equities.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:42:11 +0000More likely the soon ex Governor russled some feathers so was quickly moved on.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:52 +0000Sea Shepherd and its activists have deliberately sunk or sabotaged multiple whaling and pirate fishing vessels over the years.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:33 +0000BenzWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:18 +0000Sheesh, okay. The $300 billion is structured as a private investment vehicle, not direct government grants or taxpayer money from the U.S.. It will be backed by a consortium of investors from the U.S., Gulf Arab states, Asia, South America, and Africa. If you believe that, you're a gullible man. Of course, the US taxpayer will be on the hook. Israel should be paying this for reparations with no strings. The US has spent an estimated $29 billion in direct military operations, with independent trackers estimating the overall taxpayer burden at $113.3 billion. Daily short-term operational costs range between $890 million and $2 billion. Sorry, so way more than $70B. Israel Finance Ministry put the budgetary cost of the war with Iran at approximately $11.5 billion (35 billion shekels). This includes about $7.2 billion for direct military and defense operations, alongside $3.9 billion for civilian and business compensation. War is not cheap. You got different figures? Let's hear 'em.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:38:46 +0000
