Not sure I agree.  I can't see any governmetn having the political balls to do away with the state pension, although I would support its abolition.

Much more likely is that it will be diluted and available at much older ages, which is only appropriate considering we are all living longer now than when it was first introduced.

Fart away Berkshire but your conclusion/comments are an admission that there are parallels with Thailand.

Good post by the OP though and I suspect that the list was constructed to 'tease' (never heard "Mai Mi" used on South America1 )

when you say you live on a gated community you mean a mooban,did you pay up front for a period of time for,security at entrance,street cleaner,rubbish collections,street lighting ect.what i have seen with moobans once the paid up period runs out it is handed to the residents to run,that is when the fun starts.some will pay some wont and the place will come to look like a shit house,about other things you have mentioned forget it or you will find yourself in deep shit with certain neighbours,its best if you keep your mouth shut because you will be on your own,or sell up and get out and dont buy on a mooban.please take this advice.

Sounds like your trying to impose ridiculous western values on this lovely idiot free country we love... Go HOME

Once you start complaining or when the wait staff starts to turn nasty, it's best to walk away because you never know what they might do to your food!!!!

If you are happy to "bribe" the Police and allow them of the option to accept that bribe, then you are at fault.

I don't know what country you "used" to live in but I'm sure you would not of considered being proud to feed corruption there as it may have ended up sending you to jail for attempting to bribe an officer of the law ! Don't try to be clever.

I find it interesting that you are comparing a non-violent immigration violation to a violent act of robbery. In my book it is not even close. Also, the policy in effect at the time of my overstay was followed by the airport immigration officers. I agree illegal immigration and immigration violations should be dealt with. I also believe that some people that overstay are good people and have their own reasons for overstaying. Does it make an overstay okay? No. The individual should be punished according to the current policy. Putting them in jail for an extended period of time or treating them the same as a violent criminal is not what an intellectual society accepts as justice. It is over-reactionary and an emotional punishment.

Okay okay – I speak in practical term @ UT – you can do explain in a complicated  matter wt academics in that subject............not me...I'm a man who knows much more than common regards to almost everything here in TH. Regards to energy bill, I've half it after I took my previous measures, that's a fact, I don't need to show off – coz my experience is over the highest level the most exparts, with Thais is second to none. I can play with [anyone] Thai lady's love via their mostly via their heart. Back to your reply: Thais know but no money!!! Etc. Allot of farang's @ upcountry are so naive, & they do not understand Thais play wt their minds. Sorry allot of beer's tonight!!1                                                                                                              Source:  http://www.radiantfo...MA_Handbook.pdf

Not just pharmacies.
Yesterday, I pulled into a new motorbike repair place that has recently opened close to where I live.
My rear, right indicator needed a bulb change.
I specified that it should be 12 volts.

After much searching around, he finds a bulb, installs and checks it. Then, hurriedly tries to screw the orange plastic cover on.
I had noticed that the flashing light was dim and asked to see the bulb that he had just put in.
Sure enough it was a 24 volt bulb.
I pointed this out to him, so, he had to buy the correct bulb from another shop very close by.
This he installed and everything was good. Asked him how much and he said 20 Bt.
I gave him a 100 Bt note, but, only got 60 Bt change. When I queried this he said he had changed his mind and it was now 40 Bt.

Needless to say, I won't be taking any of my four motorbikes to him for servicing.
It was worth paying 20 Bt to know that the man was a cheat and liar.

You might want to add a large UPS to your list, as despite the voltages being the same, the current handling and the regulation of your supply, can be somewhat "erratic" to say the least.

We were on the so called 230V or whatever it is supposed to be, varied between 220 and 240V since I have been here, however, it also depends on how many people are using the line near to your transformer...we used to get down to 179V of an evening if you put the shower heater on, enough to make your PC roll over and die!

THE CAPITAL
Bangkok may be uninhabitable in seven years
By Varataya Chailangka

Dr Ajong Chumsai na Ayudhya, a Thai scientist who has worked with the US space agency Nasa in the past, said yesterday that the areas around the Gulf of Thailand would be hit by tsunamis and that Bangkok would be under water in less than seven years.

At a seminar yesterday about the impact of global warming on Chiang Mai residents, Ajong said humans were mainly to blame for such disasters because they were using up natural resources, chopping down forests and kept emitting greenhouse gases with no regard for the future.

The United States is the biggest contributor to carbon dioxide at 30.2 per cent, followed by China at 30 per cent and India at 23 per cent, he said. Thailand was at rank 22 or 23 out of the 200 biggest emitters of CO2 in the world. With the current CO2 emission rate standing at 395 parts per million (ppm) from the previous 300ppm, he warned that greenhouse gases would increase and bring about inevitable changes.

Ajong explained that over the past three decades the temperature has risen, with warmer seas killing coral reefs, glaciers melting, storms becoming stronger and earthquakes being of greater magnitude.

Warning that temperatures would rise by approximately 4 degrees Celsius, Ajong said polar bears would be extinct in less than 10 years and the seas would rise by six metres.

So far there have been two significant changes to the Earth.

Firstly, the planet's axis has shifted, changing weather patterns, and secondly, the Earth's crust has displaced, causing more frequent and more severe earthquakes and tsunami disasters.

Thailand, which is located on the Eurasian Plate, will be affected, Ajong warned, adding that the Gulf of Thailand would be hit by tsunamis and affect the South very badly.

Earthquakes within the 6-Richter scale and severe flooding would hit provinces in the North, such as Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Lampang and Uttaradit, he said.

The Central region, namely Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi and Ayutthaya, would be under seawater, he said, adding that the capital would be uninhabitable in seven years.

Personally, I'd say its been uninhabitable for quite some time already.
