“If they have so many conditions, we’ll have to rethink the whole idea of holding the meeting,” the deputy said.

In what world done one suggestion equal 'so many'? In Juntaland I guess - where one suggestion is one too many.

Not sure about the forward thinking school director comment. Look at the regimented (almost frightened to do something wrong?) faces on the kids waiting for their hug and chance to speak English before going into class. Although the teacher may be genuine in her love for her students, their faces show all that is wrong with the Thai education system.

All I see is a bunch of 8 year olds that mighy be a bit camera shy and/or are trying their best to behave for the camera.

Thanks - so these fellas didn't embezzled temple funds from the poor, buy sports or vintage cars, have private jets or shag dead bodies..........I could understand the comments if that were the case...

Those orange shit stains have already received their share of insults...what's your point? Because other monks do bad deeds, this guy needs to be given a break? The 'Buddhist' sect is one of the main root causes of systemic problems in this country, the other has universal legal protection so I won't call anyone out.

They are in jail for this "over alleged unauthorised use of royal initials in amulet making and the other over his alleged actions as a co-leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee protests in 2014. "

 

Why all the vitriol - Have I missed something??

 

I really don't mind being educated on the subject...politely

All charges in legal casesstart with "alleged" - the facts are that he was involved with protests with the aim to overthrow the elected government, he was in charge of a group that umlawfully captured police officers, and as a monk he should have no direct dealing with money, let alone fraudulently creating amulets which by definition are fraudulent.

He is as corrupt as his captors - I guess that's where the vitriol comes from.

The fact that one even needs to show a house book is ridiculous. Half the nation does not live at the addresses.

 

The entire nation is getting set up for data theft. They can't even get the online 90 day reporting system sorted after how many years?

 

They don't have to show their ID cards which by law they need to have on their person anyway. So genius.

 

Try visiting a random ministry website: If you're using Chrome there's a good chance you be given the red screen of "turn back now" - their websites are about as safe as condom stapled to its cover.

As is often the case when it comes to Thai immigration topics/terms etc. Photos of your work permit stamps and passport stamps will make it easier to give you the correct advice.

In a country that is usually reluctant to "open" any jobs for foreigners, I would guess that the government discovered that there was a shortage of hairdressers hence the need to get foreigb help. ?

I'm sure Janthipha Khwanwatana has looked at the big picture. ?

My son told me today (student M6) that the moral majority of all Thai seem to hate P1 and P2. Not dislike but hate. So as I take it this speaks hugely. 

 

We also found out today that when a kid takes the choice to do M3 - M6 for military training or awareness to escape the draft at 21, that it is a farce. Yes you will not do the pick a color draft, but you are indeed in the military for life as a reserve. Now what kind of hogwash is this pile of doodoo. 

 

We put him into the training so he would be free from the arsholes. 

 

Also from the powers that be they have increased the training method this year. Is Big and small p expecting an invasion? Or are they keeping themselves surrounded with slaves to be safe?

R.O.T.C. stands for "Reserve Officers Training Course" so I'm not sure why you're surprised.

It's still better than conscription though because the Chance of reserves being called up is very small: Enlisted soldiers are around 200,000 and Thailand has not been involved in anything more than a border skirmish or occasional crackdown on civilians, so they've got plenty to spare before they need the reserves.

Sansern said the government believed that no one – including local business operators – wanted to see the gathering as it

Arrogant prick - obviously the attendees DO want to the gathering (or are they not real people) ?

First UBER and now AirBnB...... 

First running red lights, then motorbikes riding on the pavement, then buying alcohol near schools, and now....

Point is: another new law/threat that is meaningless without enforcement. (Uber operated under threats for 2+ years before they sold - never any real action)

You don't. A Thai owns the land underneath it. Your home has to be removed if they demand it. I would not call that owning a home.

Unless, of course, he's a Thai citizen - did you consider that possibility? 

The assumption is that marijuana is also on the list of decriminalised substances, but in LOS one can't be sure: It is also possible that the use of medical marijuana would be permissible, but recreational use not decriminalised (many fines/shakedowns for tourists suddenly lighting up in the bar) and that Krathom (which is already legal in most of the world) gets decriminalised for personal use.

the whole piece is re written from source in a tone that is intended to mock the old guy, its interesting to see how differently it is portrayed here when its a thai getting burned.

talk about pandering to the biases of your readership.

increasingly shameless.

Right...because TV members are sooo sympathetic when a westerner gets burned.  Nice try though - next time get a higher horse.
