Its only a personal thing for me only, I feel the more foreigners do to help with social needs in this country the less the government has to do THIS IS NOT A POOR COUNTRY the money just goes to the wrong people. :dontknow:

You hit the nail right on the head there Mark.

Absolutely, Mark & Roger - I'm so glad that (unlike Thailand) we have in the UK and USA (to name but two) foolproof systems to ensure that all the money goes to the right people.

I would certainly hate to live in a Country whereby care services have to be co-funded by charity donations and lotteries etc - or to be living in an obscene scenario where an energy-rich nation has old age pensioners dying of hypothermia every winter because they can't afford to turn the heating on.

Even worse would be a situation where families have to exist on food-parcels and handouts, to feed and clothe their kids.

Fortunately, such economic mismanagement only happens in Thailand - or, at least, we can choose to delude ourselves to that effect.

No system is perfect but you are not seriously going to compare the 2 one has with out a doubt some fucked up rules and befits like paying prisons to be in prison then giving them a start up release benefit when they are freed well old peoples heating allowance do not keep up with the cost of living there is no doubt it is far from perfect.
The other is just a corrupt money making machine for the elite of Thailand.
And when I am to old to work and enjoy my self here in the land of smiles I sure as hell know I am going to leg it back to the Uk to get my free health care, pension, housing and heating allowance.
