- PAD and foreigners
Ok, there are some People Against Democracy devotees in here who are stating that all foreigners be kicked out of Thailand so that Thailand can solve their own problems. Let’s take the on a trip down the Yellow Brick Road to Never, Never Land (yeah, I’m mixing stories here, but what the heck) and give them an idea of what it would be like if that were to...

- From a Thai Woman to You -- All Farangs
I have spent quite a bit of time reading posts on this forum, especially under the topic of "getting married in Thailand."
I am sorry to learn that most of you, farangs, have had negative experiences with your wives' families in terms of money. Most of you here talk about paying a lot of money to support your in-laws. sounds very much like they are...

- Is Farang an f word?
I'm a Westerner of European descent. In the 16 years I've lived in Thailand I have never gotten used to this word. My step daughter will soon be three years old, and the thought that she will come to accept it as standard usage as she grows up, nauseates me. I am particularly interested in the views of Thais on this subject and hope to get some help here, especially...

- Farang cannot know Thai-ness
The general Thai view is that some farangs may know a lot about Thai politics, culture, way of life and so on, but they will never be able to reach the core of Thai-ness.
In retrospect, the traditional elite have always viewed themselves as being caught in the dilemma of whether to wipe out the threatening farang culture or to welcome its modernity.
Worthless...

Hi Everyone..
I was thinking of posting this topic in this forum for sometime and I've finally got the time to do so. There is one thing which I feel Bangkok really lacks and that is the general public's awareness of how to manage the waste thats thrown into the garbage bin.
While I see that Thailand has in many ways imbibed many western traits like good roads,...

- Pit-stop Strategy in F-1, applied in everyday life
Today's Formula 1 race cars are so neck to neck in their ability and performance, that the difference between winner and loser is decided in fraction of a second.
And it is not just out on the circuit where the time matters, but also inside the pit lane, the time is timed. The faster one can pull in and pull out of the pit stop, the more advantage he has over slower

You need to live in Thailand, working and paying taxes (preferably on a high salary) for 3 years before you can apply for residence. The process takes about a year, and costs around 200,000 Baht. You then need residence for 5 years to apply for citizenship. That process then takes about 3 years.
The numbers who apply for citizenship are tiny: about 40 in one recent...

- Democracy - Thai Style
Disregarding the rhetoric of ‘democracy’; what does the average Thai know of it or about it? I would say that all that most Thais know about democracy is that it means elections, vote-buying and whoever is able to cobble together a ‘majority’ is able to form a government. Afterwards what does the Thai rural citizenry receive but populist hand-outs in hundreds

It’s sad Saumi authorities allowed the island to become over developed. The former Pearl of the Gulf’s decline is pitful when remembering what it was like in the 80s early 90s. The islanders should consider restoring the islands environment instead of worrying about their businesses if and when an oil spill occurs.

These policies are surely attractive as they...
