Dutch Pensioner Selling Watches in Thailand. Scam or not?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

How do you know he gets a pension? I am German but will never receive a pension as I have never paid into the pension fund.
A good sign the West is going broke and not looking after its own people but hiring Pakistan, Arabs, and Africans instead of locals.
No, a sign that if you do not pay into the pension fund, you don't get a pension. Difficult concept to grasp?

In Australia the pension is for everyone even those who didn't work.

Including Pakis, middle Eastern and scam Nigerians/other assorted third world populous who love to live off the back of hard working Australian born citizens.

The west would sooner help an economic refugee than there own.

If your white and end up in hard times in SEA then then then your home country embassy's wont help, but if your from a war torn country and are ethic you get a free pass.

Go figure.

You don't think that is getting a bit old? And people fleeing war-torn countries should not be helped?

Let's face it, if your ancestors did not come over at her Majesty's pleasure, they probably escaped from economic hardship in whatever shit-hole they were from. Granted, Aborigines might feel the same like you.
