The Hub of Hubs and wasted spending. Nice idea, but take care of what is inside of your borders first instead of trying to line your corrupt pockets.
By creating opportunities like the one under consideration and examination (the Hub of Hubs, as you refer to it), you create a better way of greatly improving the "inside of your borders". If this project comes to fruition, it will make a great difference to the Thai economy and improve the life of the inhabitants of Thailand. So what is wrong with it????

10 year started 2 year ago
Has any one been issued a Thai passport recently? If so was it for 10 years, or as in the past only for 5 years?

Bitcoin is now above $57k. Why the rush to sell?
I know I may be wrong, but if I were you I would sell now, probably in Singapore, and not wait. I personally doubt, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will increase further, rather to the contrary. So why wait? Cash the profits now.

I just don't understand it all. I applied and got an online A/C, all I have to do is enter my A/C name and a Password. However, if I use a different PC, Laptop, or I-Pad, or if using the VPN, I am usually told a PIN is sent by SMS to my mobile, which I have to enter before opening my A/C.
The one thing you should never, never do is enter your PIN. Check with your bank!

I think most countries would be very relieved and happy to have as few cases, still decreasing, like Thailand. Many thanks to the authorities controlling the spread.

Some banks will refuse to send overseas, especially if your address of record is back in the USA. What does your address on your account say ? That is where they will send the card.
In my case the card is sent to my account officer in my Bank in New York, who then forwards it to me in Chiang Mai by Currier

Are people travelling from Bangkok to other provinces (yellow or green ones) subject to 14 days quarantine, or just required to show a Covid-19 free certificate not older than 38 hours?

Thai cops struggling under debt totalling Bt270bn, says police chief
By THE NATION
Suwat Jangyodsuk
Thai police officers owe a total of Bt270 billion in debts, national police chief Suwat Jangyodsuk revealed on Friday.
Suwat told Thansettakij newspaper that around 209,000 officers had taken loans to support their family or to purchase large items such as cars or houses.
The police chief said he has asked Krungthai Bank and the Government Savings Bank to suspend debt payments.
He is also seeking ways of generating more revenue for his subordinates. One idea is to set up a market for police spouses to run businesses. Another is to look at assets confiscated by the Anti-Money Laundering Office.
He added that he has contacted corporations to request scholarships for police officers’ children.
Suwat also pledged to give a live internet broadcast explaining the police force’s mission and allow members of the public to question him in real time.
“I will not hide anything and am ready for all questions,” he said.

-- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2021-01-29Quite frankly, what I hear about the salaries paid to Policemen, I am amazed. The people who are in charge of overseeing the laws abiding, are paid ridiculously low salaries. The way to assist the policemen (women) and make sure that they carry out their duties according to the laws of the Kingdom, is to make sure that they are properly paid salaries that enable them to enjoy a decent standard of living.

There are probably 300+ just on that one flight, thousands overall across many flights, I would say yes you will it will just take time to process.
They are as reliable as most reputable airways, such as LH, BA, Swiss etc. in view of the vast number of refunds they are required to process it takes a few months. Patience, my friend.

It was only when Labour were heading for another hiding at the 2017 election that they propelled her forward as she could at least appeal to the younger vote and woman. The woman has the one skill and that is spinning bull <deleted>. And if you were here in NZ as I am and not some barstooler in Thailand then you would know the incompetence and failure that is on display everyday here. If you want a strong woman in NZ then Helen Clark would have fitted the bill not this bull spinning flake.
Although I don't live in NZ, I do know it and a lot of New Zealanders, and I am very surprised at your statement. I really can't understand that your PM is so incompetent. Didn't she win the recent elections in an unprecedented landslide? Are so many of your compatriots that stupid?. The world did admire Helen Clark in the same manner that they admire PM Arden.

As far a New Zealand is concerned, it‘s not only Good luck, but more so a good government taking the proper measures, as popular, or unpopular they may be. Very few countries, if any, have leaders like the PM of New Zaland.

Locals in Pattaya have been given a first glimpse of the grand plans to transform the resort into a modern, state of the art metropolis.
The ambitious ‘Neo Pattaya’ project began in earnest on Saturday when municipal staff erected new signage at the entrance to Pattaya’s famous Walking Street.
First announced in October 2020, Neo Pattaya is the brainchild of the resort’s mayor, Sontaya Khunpluem, who has already set aside some 80 billion baht in public funds, in addition to private investment.
Neo Pattaya consists of seven major infrastructure projects, the highlights of which include a monorail and a complete transformation of the Bali Hai and Walking Street areas.
There will also be 20 billion spent improving the resort’s drainage and sewage systems and a 500 million baht boost to its IT infrastructure.
Some 50 billion baht will be spent on the monorail project which will connect with the new high speed train to Bangkok and offer three tramlines along 34 kilometres of routes around the city.
The Bali Hai and Walking street areas are also set for a significant makeover.
A new “cruise terminal” and port will be built alongside Bali Hai suitable to carry both cargo and passenger traffic, while Walking Street is set to become a “modern entertainment area” with walking areas, recreation, shops and restaurants.
The news comes as City Hall officials earlier this week announced plans to spruce up Walking Street in time Chinese New Year.
Despite there being a complete lack of tourists in the city, Chinese or otherwise, municipal officials say now is the perfect time to set about cleaning up Walking Street, which at present is all but shuttered due to COVID-19.
-- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-01-24I really welcome the plan to convert Pattaya from a sex industry center into an attractive city for residents and tourists. However, I would add one suggestion, can you please make the pavements everywhere more easily and safely walkable. I don't live in Pattaya, but I do own a holiday condo there and I often find going for a walk, even on the beach pavements in Jomtien, unsafe. Just a constructive suggestion.

Of course they have to charge for their services, I don't think anyone will dispute that, and of course they have their expenses, but after all their expenses are met, what would be their profit margin on coved tests be?
What I am saying is no one should be making a profit on these tests, the whole world is suffering through this, and we should all be in this together, not using it as an excuse to line certain pockets.
Your attitude is in theory laudable, but if we adopt it overall the same has to apply to online services, delivery services and the likes. As long as the charges are not exaggerated, all I can say is, that the way our world keeps on existing and most of the time we enjoy it. Right???

So most, if not all, private hospitals offer tests for payment?? Just how low can these people get? Using a pandemic to boost their profits, shame on them. I wonder what their markup on their tests really is, probably about 500%.
Although I have no idea what the markup on the tests is, I can‘t share your harsh criticism of the private hospitals. They are companies that have their expenses, they are not being subsidized by the tax payers and therefore have to charge for their services.

I've got 2 friends who were denied covid tests because they didn't fit the "model". I guess they are short on tests.
Both were quite sick.
I can't say anything about government or municipal hospitals testing, although I do know that one such hospital in Chiang Mai offers free testing to Thais, most, if not all, private hospitals offer tests for payment, which varies from one hospital to another.

all lives matter especially the paying customers i.e. the tourists and foreigners living here
I am pretty sure that when the PM refer to the Thai people, he means all people living in Thailand. When you hear other world leaders, they always only refer to their people by name without mentioning the many foreigners living in their countries. Listen to the PM of the UK, the President of the US and others, it's always the same. So why criticize only the Thai PM???

And most of all, thank you so much to the Thai people who really put huge effort into social distancing, mask wearing, and providing hand sanitizer in all of he stores & shopping malls. It really goes to show that Thailand has a real community spirit, where everyone gets together and contributes by helping out each other.Thank you for your honest and heartwarming words, with which I fully agree.

One should never lose hope. Without hope for a positive development, we all may as well give up, and we surely don't want to end up doing it. So keep up hoping!

I can't agree. I am prepared to let private hospitals to make a profit, as long as I can get the most reliable and suitable vaccine. My and my family's health is worth it. I also allow good restaurants to make a profit if they offer me the dishes I like, so what's the difference?
