Rolls Royce Is A 'no' In Thailand

Followers

January 13, 200719 yr

Searching for something else I ran into this article about Rolls Royce:

http://www.ftd.de/karriere_management/busi...ish/148159.html

which is mainly (also) about RR in China.

"At the other extreme, Rolls-Royce has no dealers and minimal sales in Thailand, where government taxes can raise the cost of a luxury car to four times its list price. "One potential Thai buyer said he wasn't going to buy one car for himself and three for the government," said Graham Biggs, Rolls-Royce's spokesman"

I wonder who that was......NOT buying a RR for himself and three for the Government...

Poll -- Ethiopian restaurant in Pattaya?

Jingthing · Wednesday at 08:51 AM2 days

There are a number of cuisines types that are probably more obviously missing in Pattaya now (notably Indonesian and Malaysian) but this topic is about Ethiopian. I'm curious about the interest and possible demand for a decently priced, reasonably good/authentic Ethiopian restaurant here. I know that many urban Americans are familiar with Ethiopian food, but I'm not sure about Europeans and other nationalities. It's my impression that it;'s a kind of food that once tried, the majority will li

georgegeorgia · Wednesday at 02:43 AM2 days

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

Washington and Tel Aviv now claim they’re “lowering the intensity” of their strikes so they can keep attacking longer. Spare us this bull<deleted>. Iran has been throwing waves of cheap drones and missiles precisely to exhaust US and Israeli weapons stockpiles,and it’s painfully obvious that strategy is working. And there is more: Russia and China are providing targeting data to allow Iran to successful destroy American assets. Is it working? Let’s see: The American satellite imaging

Congress Randy Fine considers himself to be an Islamophobe and thinks it is "rational" be be afraid of the followers of Islam.

MPs fall silent as Jess Phillips lists the names of women killed by men in the last 12 months Nearly one in five women killed by men in the UK over the past year are suspected to have been murdered by their own sons, according to new data presented in Parliament. The stark figures emerged as Labour MP Jess Phillips read out the names of 108 women killed in the past 12 months during the annual International Women’s Day debate in the UK Parliament. Among them were 19 mothers whose sons are suspec

Britons fleeing Gulf face HMRC bills after emergency return

bannork · 2 hours ago2 hr

British expats rushing home from the Gulf to escape the widening Iran conflict are now confronting an unexpected second crisis — potential tax bills from HM Revenue & Customs. Accountants say families who fled the region after the escalation involving Donald Trump’s Iran war could inadvertently trigger UK tax liabilities simply by returning home earlier than planned. Thousands of Britons have already left the Gulf or are preparing emergency departures as tensions escalate across the region.

Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · 8 hours ago8 hr

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

Plan B Retirement to ShanXi China: YOLO…!!!

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 01:21 PM1 day

Dear Folks, You only live once, or so it is surmised by those who are no-longer among us.. And, I am thinking about going for the gusto in Shanxi, China. I have decided that ShanXi will be my new Plan B, if I need an escape destination. This is one place I have longed to visit, since I was 18. And so, I would like to know if anyone here has any experience living in Shanxi. I am an Old Friend of China, as I think I have mentioned in past comments. Therefore, I expect that a long-term visa mi

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 10:21 AM1 day

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se
