August 21, 20241 yr 44 minutes ago, bob smith said: I don't want them to smile and nod at me. is that what I am paying them for?? bob. You are not paying them. They are employees of the Condominium and responsible only to the designated juristic entity designated to oversee them. You pay a condominium fee. A small portion of the fee is used to cover the cost of having the security guards. In effect, you contribute.

August 21, 20241 yr 1. Direct delivery riders to the drop off point. 2. Ask delivery riders "everything" about the delivery. What's in the box.. What's in the Box? 3. Eyeball anything I'm carrying into the building. I plan to get a blow up and carry that in under my arm, my partner has pleaded with me not to do this.. but it's happening. 4. Amateur photography of everything, checklist number plates to confirm parking space usage 5. Saluting: They all salute even after telling them I'm not salute worthy. There is always one though that doesn't get up or acknowledge farangs.. he's my favorite. Yes, hate me, don't stand and salute at 2am in the morning when I'm sneaking to 7/11 to buy your horrible version of a kitkat.

August 21, 20241 yr Just now, bob smith said: won't it just be the same elsewhere? I have many properties in Thailand and they are crawlin with security guards lazing about on the job. bob. I would guess the nearest security guard to us would be a three hour round trip. Robinson's in Chaiyaphum.

Robinson's in Chaiyaphum. fair enough.. bit difficult to rent out a property that is in the sticks though when you aren't using it. but yeah, next step is to buy a huge plot of land and erect a 15ft concrete wall around it. bob.
August 21, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, bob smith said: really?? nothing to do with keeping me safe then? bob. Don't expect a lot from them Bob, they work for the Security company who are hired by the condo committee, they earn very small money. They'd take 5000 baht for your Rolex if the found a chance!

They answer to whoever they are contracted to. They walk around looking busy occupied, at night they get as much sleep as they can get away with or sell anything they can get a baht or two for.
August 21, 20241 yr The so called Security Guards that are in our Village do sweet F.A. most of their 24 hours shifts .. a better title for them is Gatekeepers, & that's being generous

August 21, 20241 yr It's a job for those whose crimes weren't quite fitting enough for a stay at the temple.
August 21, 20241 yr 7 minutes ago, bob smith said: they seem like a complete waste of good money to me You can go to regular held meeting of your housing estate and suggest removing the guards to save money. For housing estate, they might give road access to the local authority and open the roads for everybody. this is done a lot in older housing estates. Good luck

August 21, 20241 yr It is stimulating the economy. Watch the guards carefully and you will detect the economic stimulation of employment, even very low energy employment. Don't security guards play a useful in being "employed", as opposed to unemployed? Each on earns more a month than the digital wallet will ever pay out, and earning such a paltry amount will be sure to send it to the last baht (at least the stuff not owed to loan sharks).

August 21, 20241 yr Slight of topic, but there is an empty closed bank, near me, They have re-opened the currency outside exchange 'booth', have never seen anyone using it, he sits inside an empty closed bank all day.....................🙄

August 21, 20241 yr They make great parked car pushers. Also, they serve as a great way to get rid of uneaten food in your refrigerator which is about to expire. They are also great at keeping tabs of anyone who brings home a mistress every now and again when their wife isn't around.
August 21, 20241 yr They are there for the place to look safe. Has nothing to do with if it is safe or not.
