Good news. Whatever means were used to get acquitted, it's good it doesn't create a case law (in case he would have been charged, sentenced, deported...). For all expats living here it's a good thing as if he would have been charged, we would have had to fear each time you hurt a Local. I'm not saying what he did is any good or that it's good to hurt/hit a local, but I was quite scared of it creating a case law. I have those videos in mind of Chinese jumping on/under cars or other busses etc for getting compensation for being run over (google chinese throwing porcelain or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v11FIrJi720). Even that the roads are dangerous here, happy not to see people on the side of the road waiting for some wealthy driver to jump under the car. It's always better to speak rather than hit in all cases but if you lose it, it sounds kind of crazy to lose you whole life just for a punch or kick. There were my 2 cents, have a great coffee

AAAaaaaah, saved.... Was reading with apprehension as never was it stated that Thailand would be the hub of gaming... Last sentence saved my day ! We are safe !

Legally 15% per annum Loan sharks : 20% per month equals 20x12 = 240% per annum Yeah, not that much more 5555

It was also reported that with little adaptations, the terminals will be able to accommodate cruise ship passengers when needed 😜👍😁

Wasn't the government willing to make Thailand as the hub of aircraft maintenance ? Well well, some work and education will need to be done... Should better stick as the hub of no brainers !

PM has probably never learned diplomacy. But if he has balls (I know all is surgery possible here but still should have some), he should express his thinking when sitting at the next negotiation table with the USA regarding the F-16. I'm sure it will make negotiations easier !

Good for Thailand, hope he gets the gold. What is sad is that sports, like other fields in this country, are controlled. I take something I know, MTB races, all winners are either Police or Army. Why, because they have the support (and time) to train. It's not like in other countries where you have a federation and they will help the better athletes to become better, compete internationally and surpass themselves in the Olympics. I'm sure there are many "good to become" athletes in this country but they'll never have a chance to show it as there is no infrastructure, management, coaching for "normal" athletes... Unless daddy pays but that again, is not a solution to have top world class athletes. Maybe it will come when the government will not know what to do with the load of money they are going to make with the "landbridge" 😉

Had to read 3 times the article to be sure... They don't even say which games are played. What an article of nothing!

Might not be fair competition for local businesses but who said life is fair.

Vice Chairman of the Thai Olympic Committee Good, he can show his competence starting in 4 days. How many medals for great Thailand M. Watthanasin ?

The first thing that came to mind : they really need that submarine

Next... skiing ! (sorry, had to do, write it) i'm out ->

He made good money in his last Club : https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23976256/transfer-news-mario-balotelli-fc-sion-contract/ Hope it's not to go fight CC (Christian Constantin) 😁

I'm no doctor but I think I can diagnoze his medical condition : he is allergic. Allergic to... (you got it too, isn't it ?) 😁

He will save the import duties 🤔😁

Thanks for your interesting comment. I have no problems. But you seem to have problems with your zygomaticus majors. Have a great day !

Great ! We have the "where is Wally/Waldo/Charlie" world champion.

Thank you 👍 I guess you can delete "in Thailand" in your post 😁

If Thais are let in it will create much much more damage than flower buds and e-cigarettes. Another proof that nobody cares about a healthy population but cares about rich becoming richer. Sad but it's common to many places that are on what's left of our planet.

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating"... Let's see how this goes but I'm not really optimistic about it. I have a feel, as often with measures to counter criminals, it will just be a hassle for normal people and criminals will find a way to counter it. And it starts now with the above case. I was in that situation but changed the information to my name when I did it for the kids (so I can control the 3 numbers in the AIS app). I think you can if AIS (don't know about other providers). I did it last year and I have no work permit.

Wonder why she wanted 430 BHT, it's 11 CHF, doesn't even pay for a meal or maybe a MC D special priced menu. I think they have one for about that money. In a restaurant, count at least 20.- with a drink. An additional zero was probably lost in translation 😉

Thanks but I'm ok (it's in my name already). I was just wondering how to do for corporates where you have multiple people that need to access the account and no websites but only an app (as SCB for example). They might have some specific corporate accounts to allow multiple persons ?

How about corporate accounts ? For example, SCB has no more e banking website. So how to deal with a corporate account ? Go back 15 years and do all transactions in the bank ? All my overseas accounts have a 3rd party verification. Why not have such systems ? Matching the name of account with SIM card holder will probably be a mess for businesses. Have some more opinions about it but it will be bad for thailand so I STFU 😉

2 years ago, coming back to Thailand with my daughter, Etihad flight "fell" for about 1-2 seconds. The person next to me had a half full glass of beer, not a single drop left in the glass after the fall (I got a free beer shower). 2 rows in front, 2 girls hadn't buckled strong enough, they hit the above head lamps. Some shouting when it happened and complete silence for 5-10min after. I asked the flight attendant how much severe it was on a scale from 1 to 10. She answered 6-7 saying that the locked trolleys remained in place what is not always the case when 9-10. Made me smile 😉 From that experience, when I hear the pilot saying "cabin crew, take your seats" I buckle up tight and always keep my seatbelt buckled when seated (loose but buckled). And unfortunately I'm more stressed (scared) than before when turbulences start although I love the rollercoaster feel it provided. When seeing the mess in that aircraft, It must have been some 10 level turbulences. For sure some people will have hard times boarding again. Edit : the Etihad pilot had some humor in his landing speach, saying "Oh, and sorry for the bumpy ride" 🙂

We were living in the country side up North, son went up to P5 in the local school, daughter in P2, so 8 years for the boy and 5 for the girl (counting anuban too). They hardly learned anything, military education, don't ask questions, just learn by heart what the teacher says and NEVER contradict him/her. The teachers in rural places are still considered, as it was 50 years ago, as the knowledge (that they don't have) and considered just under the boss (puyaibaan or kamnan). There is a Thai writer that wrote a book about a young teacher coming to teach in some rural village in the 1970's - 80's (can't remember the name of either book or writer). Well, nothing has changed. And probably not the salaries too. You cannot get a good education system if you don't pay correctly the teachers AND educate them too. But all this needs founding and won't bring back money profits. So probably not a priority (and as said above, keep people ignorant so the gig can continue). My daughter had some hard times going to school (only 2 half Thai kids in the school probably didn't help) and it was a heartbreak to force her put on her uniform (wife and I had to hold her very strong to force it on). We now moved and they go to a private school. Tution budget has gone through the roof (from almost zero to much more ;)) but they love it. Also over with the times we get notified of 1 month holiday the day before it starts, the multiple absence of teachers for "patchoum" (meetings or so called) and have finally educated teachers that know where is thailand on a world map. They now have to forget the teaching style they know, get to ask questions and participate in class. Hopefully they'll get some logic, analytic and critic mindset. For now thinking is not prohibited yet 😉 What's quite sad is that 80% of the population cannot afford that kind of education. Today is a day off, daughter is sad as she wanted to go to school, things change 🙂
