    Well Pharoah got 26 months (although he did have 10kg's more, if that makes a huge difference? His judge didn't believe his "victim" story: "Judge John Potter told Pharoah during sentencing: "People like you, who take part in importing commercial quantities of cannabis like this, must and no doubt would expect on capture to be sent to prison." Maybe Sohail was lucky and got a soft judge.

    Clearly not as important as the 80% of the information in the article that seeks to understand why the poor culprit did what they did. Disgusting article to be fair.

    I know what "certified" actually means, thanks. However, I also know what "certified" means in practical terms when dealing with banks in Thailand. However, you go ahead and get a notarised copy of your passport and email it to them by all means. 👍

    From my experience "certified" in Thai banking means signed by the account holder.

    Kasikorn has gone from being very foreign user friendly to being a pain in the ass. Surprisingly KTB (government) allowed me to update information and do some other services without my bank books out of province (just a few verification phone calls to account branch - as they do with Thai citizens), whereas Kbank cited "government regulations" not letting me do the same. Relating to these docs: what happens if we don't reply by 20 December?

    Hope she's smart enough to be his ex now.

    80 Million THB per km - seems high for this part of the world 🤔

    Seemingly introspective enough to know that they have no self-control... ...yet proving that they are morons. Apple 'n tree etc.

    I have a migraine from reading this: It's clearly a Thai article (likely AI generated with inputs - nothing wrong with AI BTW) then translated into English with AI = the most unnatural and clunky prose ever seen.

    I know people that have already received the money. I don't know how they will justify not giving out the rest. I don't support the policy to be clear, but now that they have started, it would be a total shirtstorm if they don't finish it.

    Care to explain? I didn't do any exact calculations, sure, however even at the lower end: 1.5 mil RMB x 6 = 9 mil RMB (which is over 40 million THB - or as I originally stated "way more than 8 million Baht"). And quoted in the article the top end was 8 mil RMB which is over 1 mil USD (1.13 mil if you want to be precise).

    1.5 - 8 million RMB each (6 victims) is way more than 8 million Baht. Also, who would pay up to 8 million RMB (over 1 mil USD) to secure a cabin crew job? Nothing adds up in this story.

    There seems to be a lead car (pick-up?) with its rear open. This potentially indicates it's a film shoot of some kind which would also explain the escort. Of course, they could've informed the public in advance. However, I'd much prefer a shoot slowing down traffic as opposed to shoots where they just close the entire road. With few alternate routes available, that would really be an inconvenience.

    Auto-correct "took over" and it changed a correctly spelled word to an incorrect version? 🤣 Must be a new feature. 🤔
  15. SABloke
    True. Also, we spell POSSESSIVE like this 🤪 Pot, kettle and all that...
  16. SABloke
    Fool

    I thought talking about amending the constitution was akin to treason in this country....🤫
  18. SABloke
    Well, those findings are in another country therefore do not count. (Just ask our resident Heroin minister)

    How many restaurants have over 200 employees? Seems like the restaurant association only represents the big chains. Also, if your business is a restaurant, and you list imported food as competition, I suggest you food must be really crap if people are willing to wait days to eat 555

    Yep, over 50 years for LM - and what did that guy do? He posted video of a person doing something in public - since that person can do no wrong, the court should be charged with LM for claiming the actions of that person in public was anything less than holy.

    I'll take "Things that never happened" for 500.

    Clever clever - import the live prawns and then start farming it yourself. Touche China 🤣

    They were going strong until they got lazy and used "potholes" and "engines running" in the caption. Surely there was space for rapids, turbulent waters and keeping new car sales afloat etc. 😁
  24. SABloke
    Ah yes, the completely new, previously untested, Bangkok - Phuket route 🤫🤪

    Wait, isn't he barred from being involved (publicly at least) in politics?? Is this just some <deleted> show to create an excuse for a party dissolution and then a coup? (party gets dissolved and army takes over but Thaksin is allowed to remain in country)
