Thai healthcare tycoon Boon Vanasin flees as fraud charges mount
"Boon is alleged to have forged his former daughter-in-law’s signature to secure a loan, resulting in damages estimated at 7.5 billion baht." With such massive sums involved you'd expect the lender to at least ask to see the person who's signature was on the form. -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
I agree with all of this except for the final sentence, I'll also add another point: 1) The 'never get married comment' - For some, if wanting to be together, live together, travel together etc - then not getting marred isn't an option: Of the majority of marriages I know, the couple could not live together before marriage. Thats awkward and requires patience and a learning curve - nevertheless, many families here do not allow their daughters to live to travel with another male unless they are married - and getting to that state of trust with the family so they accept you into their family takes time. 2) The other point - socico-economomic-educational compatibility - (IMO) dating someone within your social status (yes its a silly word but lets roll with it for a moment), someone who speaks educated English (not learned in a bar), someone with their own means (family is independently comfortable - there is no pressure for you to the the financial saviour... Someone who 'matched your level basically'... who can interact comfortably in any situation globally, can comfortably relate to family, who's family and friends you can comfortably related. IMO those are the key things.... My Wife and I had part 2... but I wasn't going to be able to spend much time with her unless we were married. She's snuck away to the UK a couple of times to meet her Cousin working there... But, as soon as I was 'known' to her parents, the UK trips and overseas holidays were off the cards... We had to go through the song and dance of getting the the parents to accept me, like me etc.. Always respectfully, this worked out and we were married. Her Parents are awesome, they visit us weekly, and even though they live half an hour away, they often stay over night.... So, yes... when we marry, we marry the family to as they also become part of our lives... As Khun LA wrote - that piece of paper might be a fantasy - but for some its a necessary box to have checked. -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
Of course your pension is uprated annually, because you have not told them you have returned permanently to Thailand. That is fraud! -

Montreal Erupts in Violent Anti-Israel Protests
Protesters or Terrorists? Masking up and committing violence is not protesting, arrest them all and put them in reeducation camps, with many years of hard labor before gaining their freedom back.
