  2. 21st Century Blues. It's too hot. Internet boring Aircon makes too much noise. Food delivery takes too long. Swimming pool too hot Don't get no respect on AN. Life's a batch!
  3. It's a multiple issue. There's no "one size fits all solution to the labor gap. Lack of Thai skilled labor having technological know-how, (ie., shortage of vocational degrees) such as recognized by the EEC Office in S-Curve industries. Number of qualified Thai workers is falling due in part to population aging and low birth rate. Quotes and paraphrased excerpts from SCB Economic Intelligence Center "Bridging Thailand's Labor Gap," Insight published 2015Q1: "Impractical" schooling where even "professional-level candidates lack many skills required by employees, ie., in creativity, IT skills, English and mathematical proficiency." Thai schools and universities emphasize general education instead of vocational training, engineering and science. Thai schools focus more on studies for social sciences, business and law versus science, engineering and manufacturing, and science. The Hospitality and Food & Beverage sectors are least likely to experience labor shortage. Guess where the previous and new governments have been focused?

  7. Letitia James Under Pressure to Show Why She Rejected Trump Bond Published Apr 17, 2024 at 12:07 PM EDT New York Attorney General Letitia James will have to explain why her challenge to Donald Trump's $175 million bond was not taken "unnecessarily and for vexation," a judge has ruled. Judge Arthur Engoron set an April 22 hearing after Trump's legal team filed a large amount of paperwork on Monday to prove that Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) was legally permitted to post the bond for Trump. If Trump wins the case on April 22, James will have to pay the costs of the former president reapplying to the court with new bond paperwork. https://www.newsweek.com/letitia-james-under-pressure-rejected-donald-trump-bond-1891350

  9. Probably one of those car park drifting "tools" on his hols........🤔
  10. Trying not to be cynical, but 'my' adopted family and all other locals I know have only a little or no knowledge of world events nor any geographical perspectives. Most are not even aware of what's happening in the next village. I don't have a 6 month reserve but same as Hummin wrote, we can cut many corners if necessary and almost live off the land.
  11. It's practical in places where immigration is willing to provide tourists with a certificate of residence. Simple as that.
  12. no puzzler. It was the reporting that was 2 days later, NOT the intervention. I had to re-read it a couple of times before I realised what the nonce of a reporter was actually trying to say.

  15. You mean when Democrats figured out that by giving them welfare, they could get their votes and destroy their families at the same time for a win-win?
  16. Have you ever considered he returned from exile and appointed to such a senior position by a very important person for a good reason, and what you're seeing now is those who are vulnerable to his return are running scared of their future and attempting to undermine him.
  17. I could understand very clear what the British (I suppose) was shouting. Not nice to use such words. Seems to be a lack of education and self control. I advise him not to be in Thailand during Songkran.....if he can afford.☺️
  18. Good for you and your partner, I hope it's a picture of equality and I hope it continues for your lifetimes.
