You must have been in some pretty old taxis, then, as they've been standard fitment by the manufacturers for many years and removing them makes no sense. Why would a taxi owner, or a taxi co-operative, want to remove those belts from their vehicles?
They don't remove them, but they are not able to be used since the clamp buckles and/or belts are hidden under seat covers etc.
-
I'm sure the taxi drivers will follow this law in the same way they follow tariff, speed requirements
, traffic light, overtaking, correct side of the road etc. laws. ????

So confirming that pre-election promises aren't worth the cheap carboard they're printed on.

Two parties have put aside their differences for the good of the country when Pita's minority party was unable to form a strong coalition. Maybe if he had stepped aside earlier with all the accusations about him, then this impasse wouldn't have dragged on so long. The new coalition needs to be commended for their efforts.
"... unable to form a strong coalition."??? Pita's coalition had a 62% house majority - if that's not a strong coalition, I don't know what is.

It's illegal to swing a golf club at balls in the national park? Such nonsense!
1 golfer = x number of balls polluting the park. Imagine if it was legal. So it's not nonsense. However, look at all the other trash at the national parks (especially the shipping areas) - I hope this official also prosecutes those people that contribute to the litter.

Surely abstensions should lower the total number of legal representative votes i.e. if 50 people abstain the required majority becomes 351 (not 376) etc. Still including abstensions in the total without adjusting the numbers just makes them "no" votes. Nonsense. Why not say then that an abstension equals a "yes" vote? Equally ludicrous.

Good - hopefully the thought of an angry mob outside the door will knock some sense into the "undecided" Senators. They should realise that nobody will be allowed to leave the parliament complex easily if the vote doesn't go Pita's way.

Been engaged for a couple years I've just been lazy to make it official even though it sounds like a much quicker process then this visa crap I deal with. Wedding date is officially going to be Feb 2024 so I'll be done with visas then.
You mean the ceremony or trip to the local Amphoe office (legal marriage)? Because there's no point in waiting to the 24th for the official license which will be done quickly at the local Amphoe and then you can get the 60 day spousal visit.

Unbelievable that a law as section 112 can not be amended or changed...and that talking about to do is already a reason for disqualifying....Are we still living in Middle Ages??
The law can be changed. When Prayuth instigated the coup and tore up the constitution, there was a brief period where it didn't exist. Some diehard 112'ers here don't seem to understand that ALL laws can be changed.

I'm sure there are many 'consulting/advisor' roles available within the wider political machinery should the experience be wanted or needed.
Like being a senator perhaps ????

Junta-appointed senator Somchai Sawaengkarn posted on FB Tues saying "inexperienced" Move Forward has made a wrong move with House Speaker being from another party. He added MFP PM candidate Pita won't be chosen as PM so MFP will end up as opposition party for 4 yrs.
https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1676090539249381377
How can he (A) speak for all the senators and (B) know for certain he won't be chosen. I wouldn't be surprised if Pita becomes PM with only MP votes.

The headline might as well read "Two deaths linked to wearing a shirt...". As relevant as linking the marijuana ????

A majority in parliament is anti-democratic when it does not include the party you like???
A majority in parliament (not speaking about the Senators) is per definition democratic.
Exactly, MFP already have a majority coalition which is democratic. Even you have to add the caveat about the senators because you know the current Thai system isn't demoractic, no matter how hard you try and spin it.

This guy is not good at playing the political game (and at this stage, he needs to). He should've sung any tune the senators wanted him to sing (about ALL topics) and after being made PM and forming a government, he could've taken steps to maje the changes necessary for Thailand to "Move Forward". He only needed 12 moths until the senators were out and then big consitutional changes could be made. It almost seems like he is intentionally throwing the fight ????

Thailand is expected to earn 70 billion baht from the five-day food and beverage trade fair
How? Does each exhibitor pay 23 million for a stall, or are visitors predicted to spend 700k each over the 5 days (hotels, food etc) ? Either way, seems expensive ????
-
15 million votes = 151 seats; 1 million votes = 71 seats. Sounds about right.

And do you support a ban on alcohol as well? The only reason I started snorting coke was because I was drunk
