  1. A year long investigation headed by two of Thailand's most senior policemen resulted in the arrest af a Bangladeshi man. Oh, and later, another one. Is that it?
  2. More appalling drivel from the hyperbole riddled copy writers and sub editors. Really, where do they get this stuff? AI?
  3. They were an extremely nasty bunch of extreme royalists. Not surprising they've all been acquitted. Ironically in the same manner more or less as their arch enemy, Tony. The wheel turns... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Alliance_for_Democracy
  4. The last press release on the DNP site is dated 2020. The Facebook page doesn't exist. There is a group run by foreigners, Thai National Parks, with 384 members. So much for the NNT as a national news outlet. And it responds to the horrific factory explosion with the exciting news "Thailand has announced its intention to become the "BIO Hub of ASEAN" within 2027".
  5. 94,000 registrants are informal lenders. Doh!
  6. Who tacked on the "...can take up political role" statement to the headline?
  7. Click bait. Complete rubbish. Nothing to do with Tony. Typical TNR nonsense.
  8. "Other charges filed against them, such as violation of the Emergency Decree, being the organisers of a protest, blocking roads in violation of the traffic law and violations of the cleanliness law, were dismissed by the court." At the time, the junta went to town on this one. And failed. They'd have been banged up for sure if they were still in power, as a threat to HM, democracy, peace, liberty etc etc. And not forgetting violating the cleanliness law. Hmm. Wonder which section of which statute that comes under?
  9. And he, plus his how many entourage, need to fly there, presumably business class at least, for a 5 day stay, to persuade rice buyers to buy more rice? At what cost? Thai rice represents a tiny fraction of exports to the US. Only $56 million out of a total of $45 billion. Get on board Srettha airlines. They're doing great!
  10. Is that supposed to be "You're a day late"? 4,886 government agencies? What on earth? They should name them. Chances are we're all on at least 10 of them
  11. Judge for yourself. https://www.ttrweekly.com/site/2024/01/tripadvisor-names-best-of-the-best/
  12. This is an application form for a retirement pension. What's it got to do with a retirement visa? I just wrote the same answer. People are strange!
  13. "More than three million baht has been transferred into the accounts of the alleged ring leader, “Tararat”, and other gang members and a substantial amount of it has been further transferred into the accounts of an online gambling network and used to buy properties, according to a cyber police officer. A background check on Tararat shows that she faces numerous fraud charges in Bangkok, Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani." So K Tararat, though wanted in 3 provinces on fraud charges, was still able to set up and run a scam network and make off with 1.2 billion?
  14. Many ethnic groups in Thailand: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Thailand
  15. Amazingly, or not maybe, this was spun by one of the many deputy Pork Pie Party's PMs as a green light for the hand out. The CC was quick to refute this and to state it was nothing of the sort. Silk purse/sow's ear syndrome.
  16. Thanks for the tips on how to get a Vietnamese retirement visa. Answer is, there isn't one.
  17. I think you can get a 90 day multiple entry visa for Vietnam for $50 online. https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/trang-chu-ttdt Be warned, there are websites that are made to look like the official government sites, but where visa fees are almost double.
  18. There's an MFP MP awaiting the verdict on her appeal against a 6 year jail sentence for challenging the government's, ie Anutin's, handling of the jab sourcing and availability early on in the COVID catastrophe. How he dares show his frying pan face in public God only knows. Wretched man.
  19. Yes, pushing a barrow, in and out 10 times a day.
  20. The original article said there were about 1000 people in the venue, half of whom managed to leg it with the help of staff. So good for more than a few. And I guess a good test run for an emergency evacuation. A 5 year closure is scheduled now.
  21. Doesn't it have to be with a Thai insurer to get the allowance? Or at least, an insurer based in Thailand. Anyone know what that means?
  22. Yes, I read it when I came to it, which was after I posted my comment.
  23. I'm not sure the tax in Thailand on 400k is 0%. Up to 150k is exempt. The next blocks are taxable at increments of 5%. So 150,001 - 300k is taxed at 5%, 300,001 - 500k at 10%, etc.
