Assault, morning noon and night. He'll try to buy his way out, but she's a reporter and I don't think will play along. Goodbye and good riddance Prawit. You got away with so much. Come uppance and karma time. Parliamentary equals paramilitary for these Dino relics.

Sure. Next up, Kamala's actually a man.

Writ in the post

Is expected to be nominated is a long way from actually becoming PM

Exactly. 1000s of factories closed due to Chinese flood of cheap crxp, SMEs closing up shop, unemployment figures jump. Now try recriminalizing weed and see the result. Ooooh, my head hurts.

Still no mention of the actual charges. Such bs. They'll keep it running as long as they can and then drop all charges. They seem to have found a scapegoat with an alleged confession already. So likely. It's pure theatre. Act III. Scene V. With Srettha gone, case collapses from lack of political backing. Curtain.

Excellent news. I wish I was back at uni here in Thailand. Kick their butts. There's so much questionable about the CC intervention in parliamentary democracy. I don't believe it has any business ruling on a simple amendment to existing legislation. It is the role of parliament to enact, amend or repeal legislation. Nothing to do with the CC. And nothing to do with the laws themselves. Otherwise a right wing lawyer could be hired by right wing elitists to challenge any legislation they don't like the look of, and have the legislators, democratically elected MPs, harassed by the EC and the CC. Thailand is well on the way to becoming a totalitarian state, where every part of government, the legislative, executive and judiciary, is controlled by one entity.

I blame the sun. It's always shining and making trouble. Can't something be done?

10k more? Somebody's 'avin' a laugh!

So let him move to Pattaya! Only kidding. But if he's looking for easy visa....

I think you're making it seem complicated. I renewed my 12 month extension a week ago. 10 minutes in her shop (ok, I was lucky), 5 minutes in the bank (ditto), 5 minutes in Soi 5 (shouldn't have to wait). Altogether less than an hour (I like to "nang len" ie sit around and chat). No queuing at IO. Just a photo. Straight in and out. Up to 3 months before renewal date. New one commences on date of expiry of current one. 90 days can do online. Sure, the other stuff's a PITA, as you say for TDL renewal, but they don't offer that service, though it is available in Pattaya (sorry, going off topic). Anyway, everyone's MWV (mileage will vary).

I see a Chinese owned and run airport emerging. Would be an ideal logistics hub for them. Maybe lease a part of it back to Thailand. But mainly it'll be Chinese airlines, businesses, workers, staff, imports/exports, housing, casinos, entertainment complexes, shopping malls... You name it. They have the knowhow, the money, and the manpower. Thailand appears to have none of these. Welcome to Chiland.

He asks for visa agent recommendations in Thailand. A bus trip or taxi ride to Pattaya from Bangkok doesn't cost the earth. Certainly not 10,000 THB.

In Pattaya you pay 12,500, with no 800k. 4000 for multi reentry permit. Can DM me for name. 22k with the 800k in the bank sounds completely mad.

AN labels this a "Popular Post" with 1 Sad and 5 Confused emojis out of a total of 9.

Same on Soi 5 and 7 off Jomtien beach road. 2 way for bikes.

Pattaya Klang to Pattaya Tai covers the whole of Buakhao. What do they mean, parts of it?

480,000 THB? And what relevance does it have? It's just a number thrown out with no context, nothing. Everything they throw at him is just dross. Nothing sticks. It's all just fabrication. No dates, no times, no locations, nothing. No paper, no records, no bank accounts. All inadmissable as evidence. These committees and panels that keep popping up have no real jurisdiction. Just kangaroo courts. Either put up or shut up!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I read it, the map indicates there's no change. Buakhao stays 2 way. 2nd Rd one way. Just the connecting sois are affected.

But not immigration. The UK is impossible to seal off from the outside world. And I thought Brexit was supposed to stop all this illegal immigration. Another big fat Johnson lie.

I see this bs repeated all over the forums. The Tories were in for over 10 years. Labour for 10 weeks. And suddenly it's all Labour's fault. What utter rubbish.

In Philippines, Capital Gains Tax is applied simply as a sales tax. It's a complete misnomer. There's no allowance for original cost nor cost of improvements, eg building a house. You buy land, you build a house, you sell same. You get taxed on the sale price.

Well, the £ has dropped a baht and a half in a week, and Bitcoin is disappearing south. Is it all interest rate related? Just wait and it will all come back? Hmmmm.

Well, it seems reading this forum, property owners will do anything, ANYTHING, to avoid paying out also. And really small sums. The insurers could face very large bills on a significant claim, as would the owner if not insured. Is you'd rather face a bill of 7.5m THB to rebuild your house, rather than 7.5k, up to you! However, if you don't have a broker you can trust, English speaking European maybe, but not necessarily, then I would also be extremely hesitant about it.

I don't see it as a bet. It's risk insurance. If the risk is high or even just a possibility, then it's worth insuring against it happening. Insurers assess the risk. But they don't offer you odds on it happening. They might compute the odds, but it's vastly more complex than that I think. I owned a 3 storey house on a remote island which I rented out, quite profitably. The insurance was ~7,500 THB pa with AXA. It included, although never tested, public liability insurance, which is quite hard to come by here, in case a guest suffered an injury through my negligence for instance. I let mostly to Europeans amongst whom were all sorts of clever "scammers", people out to argue every inch of the way about this, that and the other. The top floor of the house was almost entirely made of wood. The house was insured on a like for like basis, so covered a complete rebuild. I never had to make a claim, but for 7,500 a year, when I was charging near that per night...well, would you stick with "insurance is just a scam"?
