The Daily News article states that a single foreign male dressed in black threatened a group of more than 10 tourists (possibly from Kuwait) with a firearm. He made them sit in a row. Nothing about 10 foreign men brandishing guns

From the updated article a few posts above yours. So I guess that the residents were there first.

Storing explosives in a residential area!!!! I hope that those responsible face at least manslaughter charges and a long time in prison.

The 800K does not need to come from abroad. If doing an extension based on income it does.

Years ago, my GF at the time co-signed a loan for a friend who was buying a pick-up. I told her that she should not do it as when the friend defaults, she will be responsible for paying back the loan. She didn't believe me as she had no idea what she was signing. The problem is that many people are very naïve about debt and are incapable of doing very simple mathematics. The amount of people that struggle to survive on their income will borrow money that they cannot possibly repay. It is very simple to work out that if every month, at the end of the month, all of the person's earning have been spent on necessities, there will be nothing left to service a loan. Yet they will take out a loan and seem to believe that the additional x thousands of Baht that they need to repay each month will magically appear from somewhere!

The Thai word for niece, laan saao, confusingly, is also the Thai word for granddaughter.

There have been 266 weekly updates?? That's over 5 years worth! Did the pandemic start in 2018 and they kept it quiet?

That surprises me as here in Khon Kaen we have had a lot of rain recently. Very heavy most of the time, not showery.

I pay my rent to an SCB bank account every month using the deposit machine. I do not need to insert any card and I just input the bank account number. I know that they were going to introduce the need to insert a card last year but it was never actually done.

Been a few years since I deposited money inside a bank (usually small amounts but up to 30,000 Baht), never been asked for my passport.

Really??!! You feel it appropriate to make such quips when a person has died?

Hardly an unprecedented move! Maybe they were the original rules but they were changed maybe 8 to10 years ago. At that time individual schools were still allowed to make their own rules though.

Why would cisgender people be even remotely likely to face discrimination?? I was born a man, I live life as a man and I have no problem when other people refer to me as a man. Mind you with all the woke nutters about I suppose that me being very happy being a man will be a crime soon.
