Ridiculous!

Interesting timing with Parliament currently dissolved and an election due in a month.

I drove past Kata Beach for the first time in a year earlier this week and my initial thoughts were that the sunbed operators seemed to be taking up a lot more space than they're supposed to. Looks like I was right. Anyway, the timing isn't bad for the operators as low season is starting to kick in.

I just wonder whether Pheu Thai may have shot themselves in the foot with this blatantly populist policy, which, as many have stated, is nothing but blatant vote buying, a ridiculous policy as the already rich would also qualify. Fully expecting a complaint from other parties and possible request for party disslolution.

Am I missing something? How do you get a physical paper ticket from an online sale?

Was the opposition but now standing for the incumbents. See first quote.

Say what you think, Mike. Don't hide your opinions!

That's all very well but how about Thailand getting its own house in order? It's not just the neighbours.

I shall be looking forward to steven100's automated "I love Prayut" posts, spidermike's "everyone despises Prayut" posts and various "is it April 1st already" posts? Talking of which,,...............

Last time I looked English is called English, not American, And as Headstart follows a British curriculum with British exams I'd suggest that the correct proper English spellings are taught. Glad to say that after nearly two years in England, my daughter has lost her International school pseudo American accent (from Headstart) and it's been replaced with the more pleasant tones of southwest London.

The Pammookoo Resort's website states "perfect for families, features' waterslide & kid activities". It'll be interesting to read any reviews from families staying there this weekend!

Funny how all the same stories from pre-covid are cropping up again!

What about women?

Isn't Parliament due to be dissloved this month? If so he'll be in the role less time than Kwasi Kwarteng was UK Chancellor. And surely even Anutin couldn't cock up as much as Kwarteng did!

Given the demographic of the pollsters, I'd have expected the opposition of these policies to show a higher percentage than the results indicate.

The man is a genius. He will double tourist numbers and alleviate overcrowding in popular areas!!! However, with an election looming there's a good chance he won't be tourism minister for much longer so let';s hope the next incumbent is just as intelligent????

I'm sure the cctv will find the conclusive reason behind this fall. ????

Does this mean prices will go back down to pre-covid levels? Some of the prices I'm seeing on Facebook in particular seem much too high but if people are buying them then who can blame the sellers and, in particular, the agents?

I bet he's not wearing a trendy Swatch!

I took one mouthful of that horrible drink once, spat it out and have never touched it again.

Travel insurance would pay if there was an issue with a balcony or building. The insurers would then file a claim against the building owners, who would hopefully have public liability insurance, though levels of cover in Thailand might be low. It's standard market practice and is known as subrogation. I would guess that a drugs/alcohol exclusion would be the most likely reason to deny liability but without knowing the facts I wouldn't want to speculate further., I would also add that if someone has an accident after just a couple of beers and it is demonstrated that alcohol consumption was not a contributing factor to the accident, insurers may not decline a claim under UK law. A travel insurance bought in the UK will be subject to UK laws.

Don't they announce the same every year?

Looking forward to seeing how these things have improved.

Party dissolution is nothing but a tool used by the military government in their bid to preserve power. It worked last time out. It's a ridiculous system as all the dissolved parties reform under a different name but it just takes time, which is perfect for those in power to nullify the opposition. Waiting to see how it plays out over the next few weeks.

Maybe you could ask her to teach you the basics of the use of the apostrophe ????
