What to do in cases like this possibly involving mental issues is never going to have a perfect solution and I am glad I don't have that responsibility. 

I agree with you.

However I  will say capital punishment should only be used in cases where guilt is beyond doubt as some people on death row have been found innocent

That is also a big issue. Plus capital punishment doesn't prevent deaths and isn't a deterrent. Yes it maybe justice for some but I always felt it is an easy way out.

Hard Labour, with the proceeds going to the families victims until the day they die would have more value than a quick way out by death.  Just an opinion.

Hers was not a crime of ignorance

Agree.

She was deliberately injuring and killing others for personal pecuniary gain

Totally agree.

Nor do I read any indication of remorse or apology on her part.  Deplorable! 

Again, I agree.

Her sentence appears well justified, and will hopefully deter others who might think to do likewise.

I totally disagree. Without getting into the debate of the death penalty, it does not, has never done and never will deter people from killing.

Charan Pakdeethanakul, a former constitutional court judge, says that he believes the Constitutional Court will take at least 2 months to ensure that the court has thoroughly considered all the facts, perspectives, and most importantly, the intent of the constitutional drafters.

Whats to consider! Oh yes how he can get round the constitution and work his way into another term. So transparent.

Many see Prayuth as a belligerent, out of touch bully of a former general who should be sent packing.

Ending the suffering of the Thai people.

Yes. Best piece of journalism for a while.

I find this quite funny. Its just a poll. The OP is just asking a question to try and find out some anecdotal evidence (can't call it real statistics).

I don't think everyone who goes to Pattaya is old. I was there at 35 but I did live in Bangkok at the time and loved the atmosphere. I find Pattaya interesting to say the least but prefer Jomtien, as I have got older.

Just from my observations that many westerners now are bald or have shaven heads in their late 20s and onward. Suppose it saves on hair cuts

I also think that Pfizer need to add some chill medicine to those famous blue pills.????

o discuss the lack of flight connections to Thailand which the airports boss revealed are only operating at 33% of the level seen in 2019.

So how can the TAT predict the tourist numbers that they do. Plus the flights have less seats on them.

I know how.

Let me know when it gets to 55 or even 60 to the pound. Otherwise it is hardly worth doing cartwheels for.

Thailand has one of the best meter-gauge rail systems in the world and train travel is an effective way of getting around.

Really! If this is true I have learned something new. Maybe a resident train spotter on the forum can confirm this very bold statement.

I was under the impression from the few times I used the trains in Thailand that they often broke down, were late and substandard.

All makes sense now.

Thanks TAT for another baseless and ridiculous forecast.
