The decision to dismiss the civil claim, which was brought by Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, and Dawn, a pro-democracy group founded by the murdered journalist, likely marks the end of efforts to hold the future Saudi king accountable for the 2018 murder.

Justice Red Bull style ..................LOL

There has to be a back story to this. Either tip-off by suspicious neighbours, or she was encroaching on someone's business, or she had stolen a Thai lady's boyfriend/husband. No way was this "smart-car" the reason for her being detected. Sure the car has a data terminal with internet connection to check the database but that's all.

 

Absolutely correct, in fact apart from transporting the police to the subject, the car did nothing that could not have been achieved in an office somewhere. ....................LOL

A school director in Ubon Ratchathani in the north east of Thailand came under criticism from parents after it was claimed that he forced children to practice ways from a Chinese cult.

Take this as a "Soft Opening" of Thailand, it's days are numbered.

Establishments with a licence are allowed to sell flowers but not allow smoking on the premises.

Another mistake, why not contain it in a known area that can be policed plus it is a place that will not upset other people.

“Honestly, we could not entirely stop people from smoking cannabis, but we already had a regulation to prohibit venues from allowing customers to smoke cannabis because it could lead to problems such as traffic accidents.”

Could not agree more, entertainment places should not allow the activity of smoking cannabis as it is reserved for people to get drunk & drive - Really .........LOL

When asked if it was alright if the shops had specific rooms for people to smoke cannabis, Dr. Thongchai answered the shops could be violating a regulation if it could be proven that the smoke from the cannabis caused a nuisance to others.

This statement is idiotic, I would have thought the whole purpose of these kind of specific rooms as stated, is people can all sit together and enjoy their smoke without upsetting others, plus the majority of these kind of rooms are normally inside cannabis establishments therefore no-one to upset other than people who want to enjoy their weed.

They speak American ......LOL

How about grabbing the bull by the horns and working through this, it is plainly obvious that it could be big business for Thailand and the interest is plain to see so why not regulate the sales by ID requirements, so not selling to under age people and make testing for drugs part of  police spot checks as with alcohol which takes care of DUI. Everyone knows that violence is not part of cannabis culture unlike methamphetamines so it could be a win win situation.

Nevertheless, Adm.Choengchai said the Thai navy would insist that the Chinese navy guarantee the quality and efficiency of the little-known Chinese-made engine in place of the German one for use aboard the S26T sub.

This has to be a joke, the Chinese are as bad as the Thai's at maintenance, they wait until it breaks down then fit a complete new unit. ...........................LOL

National Police Commissioner General Damrongsak Kittiprapas explained that the point-deduction system is designed to promote safe driving. Every year, road casualties claim more than 22,000 lives in Thailand, which has the ninth-highest rate of traffic accidents in the world.

Why not ask yourselves WHY the standard is so low, with penalties of up to 90 day licence suspensions (for those who have one) one can only presume this is for really bad driving what a joke, try one or two year bans followed by re-tests & proof of licence & insurance before allowing them back on the road. The problem is the police have been so inept at issuing tickets as they are too busy lining their own pockets with on the spot fines.

The police were originally called after the incident on 191.

But nobody showed up.

RTP are an absolute joke ....!!

More good luck than anything else that no-one was injured or killed, both the driver & company should be prosecuted for allowing an insecure load to be on the highway.

The statement by the Chinese President called on the APEC region to be a block that focuses on economic development and not be someone’s backyard and should not be an arena for big power to contest their turf.

That's rich coming from the country that has had devastating effects on other countries like Cambodia, Sri-Lanka & parts of Africa etc. - Do as I say attitude not as I do .!!
