News Forum - Thai airports soar in Skytrax rankings: Suvarnabhumi leaps to 58th
I landed in BKK yesterday And I did land in the new terminal So had to take the train to the main terminal Now I don't know if this is planned but Immigration is right there when you get off the train Well about a 2min walk So that cut down on that big walk from when you land(although I didn't mind the walk after a long flight) I did the VIP Immigration which took less than 1 min But after I spent about 15mins getting a Sim card I came back and all the passengers from my flight were already at baggage claim So Immigration was not an issue yesterday I took the Airport link yesterday for the 1st time It was morning rush hour so quite jammed But it was very pleasant And would choose that over a taxi anytime Well unless I am with my Kunnai wife 5555 -

^ To go to show how much I don't mind "travel days" in Thailand On May 10th I wake up in Railay Beach I will have to arrange a private long tail boat because it will be 6:30am I am flying to BKK and have 1 hour to catch a flight, on a different airline, to Trat And I am not the least bit worried Even if I miss my flight can either take the later one or hop in a taxi for a reasonable price I wouldn't even attempt that in North America -

News Forum - Frozen pension policy: British expat’s dream turns into nightmare
He didn't pay for it. Most UK pensioners have not personally contributed to cover the government pensions paid out. The tax burden is carried by a small group of taxpayers. The 10% of income taxpayers with the largest incomes contribute over 60% of income tax receipts. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) analysis – which covers around three quarters of tax revenues (including income tax, NICs, VAT, excise duties and council tax) a few years ago found that the 50% of households with the largest incomes contributed around 78% of taxes. It is fair that foreign residents not benefit from pension increases, because they are not contributing or paying taxes. Pensioners in the UK are still paying VAT on the items where they do not receive exemptions. Foreign residents do not pay that tax. The VAT helps cover the COLA. Why then should people who do not contribute recieve a benefit that others are paying for? Foreign residents are not supporting the UK economy and have no right to demand that the UK taxpayers cover their increased cost of living. -

News Forum - Bangkok condo guard allegedly punched British woman (video)
He was harassing her and in her face. She pushed him away. Mr. Mohammed sucker punched her after she presented no threat to him. There was no justification for that punch. The fact that he was sleeping on the job and not legally authorized to work, speaks to the security agency's deficiency. He has since run away. The police can find him but did not. Begs the question if the agency is operated by a current or past police officer
