Mission almost accomplished, this is what I hear from Cambodians

That's very nasty piece of argument straight from colonist handbook. Replace "Khmer " with any name of country ever colonized and occupied throughout history and is could be said the same, including parts of you own country occupied by Germans 1941-43.

There's thing called keeping up appearances. In almost every country there are foreign investments and yet signages are in local language, not investor's one.

And crime almost non existing

There's logic in it as one lives and consumes tax funded resources in the country without contributing to the till. At end if day we should remember that taxation is not about fairness, is about extracting money from general population.

Exactly for numerous reasons you listed above. It's called city life, not for everybody I agree but must have some spell since 10 million lives there

Which is best visible in new Siem Reap airport where inside I couldn't find even ONE sign in Khmer, Chinese and English only

Indeed

They may introduce kind of pass for frequent crosses like ones existing in several countries.

One may be very surprised upon settling in the Phillippines that their tax rules re foreign income of residents mirror those of Thailand and Indeed most of countries of note in the world who usually have tax treaties between themselves and treat those issues quite uniformly with income taxed in another country either exempt in another one or tax credit given for tax already paid in that thay call " other contracting state " As advised many times here, instead of being heated about those issues , time is better spend studying tax treaty between counties of interest as variations do exist. From what I get Thai rules are nothing new, rather thay decided to implement what is in the books already. Look at it the same way as one would about mandatory helmets on motorbike. Imagine outcry if all of the sudden new PM ordered police to enforce it strictly and without exception even for short hop.

People look for different things and consider them of higher or lesser importance, be it property ownership , climate, sound of spoken language and everything in between. I'm baffled why anyone would chose Pattaya over Bangkok and still thousands do heading to Pattaya right from Swampy day and night

This morning at TT Exchsnge in Pattaya by the Boyztown: 1 USD =34.17, up fro 34.15 last evening

And rightly so. If senior is able to undertake grueling trip , often more than 30 hrs door to door rom home to Thailand , certainly can survive lining up in regular lane. This comes from me who have head full of white hair and not exactly because I use perhydrol liberally. Sorry if somebody is offended but I truly mean it. Arrived Wed early afternoon and while crowded lines were moving quite fast.

Glad to read again that, building code or not, Arena never disappoints.

Arrived in Pattaya today and happy to report that 7/11 returned to its rightful location on corner of Boyzton and 2nd Road. To early to say anything about boys

He deserves substantial jail time and may get it.2 fatalities is not a laughing or shrugging matter

I know

good point

Good morning to you and good evening to me. As for sun shining funny thing and I'm not making it up. We had whole day overcast and perhpas minute or two before you posted, i.e. few minutes ago sun shone indeed , first time today.

should cover easily 17 Long Times in Chiang Mai

you are right, I'm afraid outcome will be similar, slap on the wrist if that much although I wouldn't bet on his acting career

me, kind of

people have fantasies and sometimes they turn tragic

now I know why it's silent when I asked it to lend me 100 $

no, while I agree that everybody is entitled to his own political sympathies, I pointed to those inclined to fuck republicans where it can be done with relative little effort
