This is categorically false. She does not remain in custody "as the charge is severe enough to warrant a possible death sentence." - this would imply that innocent people are kept in custody based on the nature of what they're charged with - farcical. She remains in custody because she was already convicted of another murder.

It was a smoothie place (yoghurt close enough I guess) and he was refused service rather than kicked out, but I applaud you for recognising that a city does seem a bit fascist if staff memebers refusing service based on differing political beliefs is applauded by its citizens.

Stealing a cat is a dipsh*t move, however, it has nothing to do with Thailand's visa-free policy. Does this xenophobic moron think that had the lady applied for a visa, she'd suddenly stop being a dipsh*t cat thief???

He also claims Israel is following an "old book" (even though religious freedom exists in Israel) whilst ignoring that Iran LITERALLY runs its country according to an interpretation of the Quran. Making grand claims does not make one an expert.

I don't want anything banned for the day, just pointing out the illogical focus on alcohol

Why aren't tobacco and weed sales also restricted? Surely one vice is as bad as another under Buddhist precepts.

This story has a lot of holes: She was abducted and taken across the border by some people, who then confiscated her phone, but then gave it back to her at a hotel (they didn't think she'd contact someone??). Her father "sought police assistance, prompting coordination with regional authorities" but these authorities seemingly did nothing as the lady then had to escape the hotel by hiring a driver to take them to a bamboo grove, where they then crossed back into Thailand. Also, she apparently escaped AFTER hearing about the previous building being set on fire, which she "heard about". Didn't she say those people didn't have phones - who was she contacting? And to top it all off, they were fined for an illegal crossing!? Would Thai authorities really fine a victim of human trafficking?

Waiting for the offended Tik-Toks from bearded behemoths that are called "Ma'am" back home 🙄

What? He also MAY have lost control by himself cutting in front of another vehicle or driving too fast and hitting a bunp in the road or or or... A body being thrown from the car would lead me to speculate that few if any seatbelts were being worn and that the poor little boy was likely not in a child car seat (since adults that don't believe in safety often just let the kids stand at the back or sit on a lap etc.)

Ineed. Three key points for me where they stumbled 1) Not having a clear plan for moving social security out of government control 2) Hard stance against weed 3) Leader ranting/raving/shouting on stage using "impolite" language - didn't sit well with many who might have like Pita and Thanathorn before.

The fact that thousands of people will vote for a drug smuggler boggles the mind🙄

How much? 50? 60? 100? The "real" exchange rate is what the market says at the end of the day. Now, whether some posters here have a fantasy about a mythical rate much higher than that doesn't change the actual fact that the rate is what it is

That's good, so she can still receive money. I suggest sending her more, maybe 20,000, and then you can add a note with the transfer "Please unblock me" - maybe that will work.

I used to say Kbank only, but when it comes to doing changes related to passport updates/phone number changes etc. out of province recently, I have found KTB to be much easier to work with. Both are great though and I generally use Kbank for daily and KTB for longterm.

That's effing weird!! This story has to be farce, right?🤣

Most people still waiting for the rest of the 10,000 THB payment promises from the last election

At this time of year, probably to visit the largest ice and snow festival in the world.

How can they crack down on "Unsafe Contractors" - seems to imply they know who they are, so how did they get the contracts in the first place. And "administrative orders" don't aftually DO anything. People need to do things - Thailand loves to reactively create rules, but the same people thAt didn't enforce the old rules, won't enforce the new ones 🙄

IMHO this is a mistake for PP. They garnered support by being a "progressive" party and this appealed to the younger generation. Taking this strong stance against weed is trying to pander to the older voters, but they will lose support from others since young Thais can understand how devastating this would be for thousands of small business. Also, despite what the average AN poster thinks, lot of Thais smoke weed and were pleased when it was decriminalised.

Seems good to me... again, good.... mmm...what does one suppose that might mean? Keep things prehistoric is my guess.

Really? Due to Disney's strict policies? Not due to the fact that casinos are ILLEGAL in Thailand!?

Hi everyone, since my last DL in 2024 (only got 2 years since entered on visa-exempt for that trip) I've heard varying reports on what is required for reverting back to a 5 year DL - some people have said that even tourists are now extended to 5 years in the case where they've already had the temporary 2 year one. Is that true? If not, do you think it would be possible to get the 5 year with a single entry Non-O? Last time the lady at the counter told me she would have given me a 5-year if I had had a visa in my passport (she didn't say it needed to be an extension for a year though, just that it had to be a non-immigrant visa). However, I've also read that your extension of stay has to be valid for at least a year to be considered for 5 years. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Did he step down or fall down?

Wait - if the court dismissed the 177km/h speed and accepted the "scientific and independently verified" 79Km/h speed (under legal speed) and the acquitted six defendants stating that they did not alter evidence why did the deputy AG get sent to prison for dropping the reckless-driving charge?

Cheers for that 👍
