Summer activities for 14yr old girl in small village buriram (currently occupies seat b4 tv
07 10 2024 My Niece has several months off school and it looks like she will spend the whole time in front of the tv or glued to her phone. She is healthy and does ok at school but is a big zero re other activities. Her elder sister just graduated from nursing college and I would do the same for 'Jam' if she keeps her grades up. Is there anything the we could do to encourage her to do something, anything that is other than zoning out of real life on the net. If there was some kind of sport club or camp she could go to I would pay for it or other activities that could tempt her out of the Net. Any ideas please? Free activities or paid clubs or ? This is not just for now; it would be good to introduce her to other ideas and activities for life that will remain with her for life. (Her mother, very nice and hard working, will not force her to do do anything) Thanks very much🙏🏼 -

Is Thailand Value for money
You say it, regularly. You talk about yourself in glowing terms way too often. People who help, don't talk about it. You are the narcissist. -

Spreaders of Conspiracy Theories: Unmasking the Motivations Behind the Lies
Going back to the link in my previous post showing 10x as many registered Dems as registered Repubs in mainstream journalism, it's no surprise to me that it's so much easier to find an "Orange Man Bad" story than a "Biden's Dementia" story. Until the MSM couldn't cover for him any more.- 1

Is Thailand Value for money
No, they are not. Obviously. Though I always did wonder why burgers are considered unhealthy, since they contained minced meat, tomato, onion and did not seem terribly unhealthy. Edited 1 hour ago by Cameroni That is @Cameroni agreeing with me and disagreeing with you. The way most people eat cheeseburgers isn't too healthy. I mentioned this before. You can make them healthy. I also mentioned this. You are nitpicking again, using one reply and leaving out the others. Take some time, take a breath, and read all of the posts. Then come back, maybe in a week, and realize what you missed. -

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
Thailand's gradual introduction over the past 15 years of regulations for bus safety laid out by the UNECE, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, a body responsible for establishing international standards in many areas. But application of these rules have been slow and piecemeal. “The problem is most of the manufacturers in Thailand cannot reach that standard,” “Also, the regulations only apply to new buses. There are No regulations on old buses any unqualified backyard mechanic can do anything they want and its not against the law even the most western standards for checking CNG is Not a pressure test as you would expect its only visual Inspection surprised me as a mechanical QA/QC manager -

Could do with some support and advice here ?
I’ve been in a relationship for just over three years now. We had a year of long-distance, followed by one year living in the UK, and now we've been here for almost a year. She’s 31 and I’m 53. She struggled to adjust to life in the UK, so we moved back here where she feels more at home. She’s affectionate, but if I’m being honest, she lacks thoughtfulness and can be a bit lazy. Fortunately, she’s not obsessed with money, and food is more her thing. We also don’t have to support her family, which helps. One thing that has really been bothering me is that she doesn’t seem capable of considering anyone’s needs or feelings other than her own. I’m always thinking about her well-being—whether she’s happy or if there’s something she needs. I handle most of the household chores, like cooking, and I don’t mind it since I prefer things done a certain way. She’s more than happy to leave it all to me. But whenever we have even a minor disagreement, it escalates into a full-blown argument. She’ll tell me she’s going to leave, pack her things, and then change her mind, not letting me leave either. It's like she gets trapped in her own emotions and can’t back down. Her outbursts can be really intense, and if I try to ignore it, she just escalates until she gets a reaction from me. The reasons I haven’t walked away yet are mainly because I worry about what might happen to her if I leave, and I dread the drama of packing up and trying to get out. It’s frustrating because apart from these episodes, things are actually going really well. We’ve built a decent life together here, and there’s a lot to look forward to. I think some of her behavior may be linked to hormonal changes. She was on some type of contraception before that made her very volatile for a few months. Then she switched to a different pill, and everything was smooth for half a year. Now that she’s stopped taking it, her unpredictable mood swings have returned. After each argument, she always apologizes and promises it won’t happen again, but it’s a cycle I’m not sure she can break. Most of the time, I’m content, but when things get bad, it’s unbearable. If I look at our relationship overall, I feel like I’m giving much more than I’m receiving. My biggest worry is how things will be in the future, especially as I get older or if something happens to me. I’ve put some money into fixing up her place, but I’m still in a position where I could leave if I needed to. Financially, I could live modestly here on my own. So now I’m at a crossroads—should I leave before it gets worse or try to push through and see if things improve? I’d appreciate any helpful advice and please leave out the cheaps shots and trolling. -

Parents Demand 1.21M Baht Compensation for Children They Didn’t Raise
Agreed but it's better than what they don't have now. Also you can make anyone signing off on inspection libel if found to have done brown envelopes. Again not the best but -

Deputy House Speaker Pichet Approves MP's Sick Leave Amid Tak Bai Case Concerns
If he is not in Thailand, how can he be arrested? If he had been sent to trial, found guilty and THEN skipped the country, it would be down to the Thai police to ask Interpol to issue a red notice, that he should be held and THEN handed over to the Thai police. At this point he is only "alleged" to have committed a crime and he has not had his day in court yet. -

Is Thailand Value for money
Maybe not - but this is a forum that always seems to devolve into arguments between old silly blokes. I read the first page and thought - this looks interesting - and then went to the last page and it was all two blokes throwing handbags at each other. IMO Thailand is NOT great value for money when it comes to their long term VISA for Retired/Married old Expats. The rest of the things here are mainly fairly good value for money - some not good (cheese, wine, etc) but most is real good value. We spent a lot more back in Aust than we do here - and here we buy more khrapp. Yes the Visas are awful - especially being treated like a parolee and forced to report every 90 days. Other countries nearby offer much better deals (including residency) and for far less than Thailand wants for its 'premium' Visas. And they dont tax your overseas money like it seems like Thailand is going to do soon (hoping not). -

I don't believe you have any friends in real life. I have a real relationship not based on financial support. I'm not like you.- 1
