Anyone out there actually read the draft charter? I am about one third the way through it and what I see is all sorts of lofty statements, but almost all have a proviso that goes along these lines...

"except by virtue of the provisions of the law specifically enacted for the purpose of maintaining the security of the State, protecting the rights or liberties of other persons, maintaining public order or good morals of people, or safeguarding the health of the people"

I read that as a sort of we can do what we want regardless of what the charter may say. Not what I would call a good sign at all.

Looks like maybe the tide is starting to change. Let's hope it turns into a tsunami on August 7 and sends a VERY STRONG AND CLEAR message to the junta.

I have said all along that this referendum is illegitimate due to the one sided way the junta has forced onto the Thai people.

The junta will NOT be happy with this development. I'll bet someone is throwing a major temper tantrum as I write.

Just bringing more happiness to the people.

Well done the junta.

A police shakedown that went really sour, really fast.

Let's hope all 6 police are charged and jailed. That would send shivers through the RTP.

I notice their leader failed to appear. Likely done a runner already.

To add insult to injury, this 'debate' will NOT be aired live, but taped.

So lots of time to edit the 'debate' before it's shown.

This is a total farce. But this comment by Mr. Norachit says it all in a nutshell...

"He said the debate will be presented as a platform for an exchange of opinions and not really as a basis for argument."

Plug an Ethernet cable between laptop and router then enter that IP address (192.168.1.1) into the address bar, then login to your router with admin/admin and carry on setting it up. They would have given you a sheet of paper with your user name details.

Yes, you usually need to connect to the router via an ethernet cable to access the router settings. Wi-Fi is usually not on by default anyway and you will need to turn it on and set it up. Once set up, wifi should work as you expect.

Feudal Thailand at it's best.

A yes vote means the military retain power.

A no vote means the military retain power.

What's so difficult to understand?

The difference is that a no vote tells the world the junta is not wanted, even if they retain control.

I pre registered fot that Prompt Pay, and just received notification from Bangkok Bank that I am now registered. So I guess foreigners can apply.

Whose brain child is this?

I thought his license had been pulled. Is he still in operation?

Bandaid not repair.

And you know that how? Were you there while they were repairing?

From the article... "On July 15, we learned that the damaged columns had been fixed. The only thing needed to be done was for the outside of the columns to be covered with plaster and decorated."

Sounds like bandaid to me, or worse, just cosmetic coverup.

And that is why you should make a disk image BEFORE starting any win10 update.

Just curious... were his hands tied behind him when he committed suicide?

Wouldn't be the first time in this country.

any measure to track the tourists is commendable

not only to prevent over staying illegally but also for

the safety and security of the visitors.

the forms for visa extension should be standardised at all extension offices to

minimise confusion and expeditious processing.

Such bull sh!t forms are NOT needed to track overstayers, just a little leg work from immigration, and it has NOTHING to do with safety. That form is an invasion of privacy, nothing else. I say just fill it in with bogus information.

Why is S44 even needed?

How about getting people to do their jobs properly by holding them ACCOUNTABLE?

Oh, silly me, I forgot where I was.

Pathetic, is all I can come up with now.

As usual the police do nothing, they are waiting for the brown envelope.

I was reading yesterday about reforming the RTP well it cannot come quick enough.

The police are a total waste of time. Sack the lot of them and start afresh.

That is the only way police reform would actually work, and even then, I have my doubts. Corruption just runs too deep in this country.

This referendum is illegitimate. Best to cancel it now, save the money, and just proclain Prayut ruler for life. That's where we are headed anyway.

Time for reform of the entire justice system and of all these laws designed to protect the criminals of Thai 'society'.

But I am not going to hold my breath.

The android app is USELESS as it has very little english, even when set to engligh language option.

Thailand wants to become a 'HUB' of elderly aged care? Oh, please. Get real.

This is just another Thai official having a brain fart.

Is that the same hospitality, affordable fees and word standard medical service that left the British women to die in a Bangkok hospital, because of an incredibly high bill that the family couldn't foot?

that isn't the fault of the hospital. It's the fault of the woman and her family for being poor.

Ah, so poor elderly do not count. Only the rich elderly need apply.

Thanks for clearing that up.

The only way to reform the RTP is to fire every last one of them and start over.

Just look at recent developments in that karioke bar shakedown to see how high up the corruption really goes.

Nothing like knowing what's important, and what isn't.

You simply could not make this sh!t up.
