Trump is not a loser, far from it, just because you do not like the man does not mean he has not done a good job, sorry GREAT job, we needed him for another four years, instead we have a bumbling puppet who will make America poor and China richer, stronger. History will show the Media and Tech sold out a great nation and will push it towards a third world status like its fraudulent election system of 2020. I would love a leader that looks after it people and keep his promises! Goodbye America

""when does the Lamestream Media call this election!”
100% totally agree with you, PDT has been the best president in my life time, why, he kept his promises, what other leader did this! also looking after the workers, more women in government, plus no conflict overseas, united parts of the ME, kept NK in check, get Europeans to dig into their pockets, plus opening the eyes on CCP. If JB scrapes in, then he will be a puppet, (who for) no need to sneeze, the world will have a hurricane coming. PDT is a bit raw but like a good American beef steak the quality is there!

I am sure this is being done at the request of foreign governments and drug companies who
do not want generic drugs and steroids mailed from Thailand.
How would this work! unless you get every person Thai and foreigner to add their ID.
No this is just another item to add to THE list where they just do not want us in their country.

If we were not intelligent rational people we would go back to our own country and penalise every Thai.
Unfortunately time and time again these people we see are not capable of thought and insight.

Well, sucks for some hotel owners, but I seriously doubt politicians would give a damn. Money from International tourists is about 6~8% of GDP. And that is not where politicians "earn" their personal profits.
The minimum wage did not help, the exports are effected due to that 30% increase, prices went up and starters (staff) kept to a minimum, also the flood in 11 when a lot of buyers had to go else where and never came back. The factories are working on a much smaller margin if any, it is a hard game for the normal working Thai factory and workers. I believe it will take a decade to get back to normal, seen levels, unless the AEC market will transform TH. Lets hope so.

I have been through BKK (S) airport a few times this year and just got back from the UK. The airport was empty as it has been on all my flights into BKK, also only about 20% of the I. officers desk full and I was second in line and last time I was first in line. I would say it is 80% less (down) for travellers going through BKK (S), the other airport in TH must be busy if the figures are true. The flight into and returning on my asian flights were busy but the UK (TG two this year) has been about 20% full, coming and going. This is not good for TH and anyone living here, people have to work and earn money, every sector has been effected, School, rentals, Hotels, bar, restaurants, street markets, shops, night areas. This can only mean more petty crime and the smile dropping away. If you are unable to see and judge the action on polices you are taking and how everything has a domino effect then some large mistakes can be made, with ramification. It all depends on the end game and what they want to achieve. Lets hope it all works out and the normal Thai people will not have too many repercussions on the action that has been taken by the few.

The PM had shown Statesmanship in the way she has acted over these last few weeks.
The antigovernment protesters have lost their rattle out of their Pram, they cannot debate.
They wanted conflict and did not get it.
Over eight million live in Bangkok, over fourteen million people live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan region.
150,000 protesters (BBC) is little compare to a Red Shirt calling.
So where is the other BKK 21,850,000 people, may be PM supporters.
The people had voted the PM Yingluck in power, so she should have completed her term.
New elections will voter her in again.
Any PM would and does look for point of views from who ever, family or another to see the best possible way forward, on all aspects of their administration.
The Thai people will decide in February.
Do not give up Yingluck, power to the people.

Why do you think most of the girls in the bars get so drunk! They have to get drunk or they would not do it. Most are forced into the sex trade because there is no wealthfair state and a very poor education system, and some are mothers who are left to bring up their children alone. What would make a big difference is if the education system changed, making it as good as the private sector (sorry better) and free, taught sex education at school with all its problems and make all the absent fathers pay maintenance.
There should be DNA register for all children and everyone it should be part of your ID that way fathers would have to live up to their responsibility, (maybe one day)

So many different stories at the moment, one is that a man (Iranian) came out of a house covered in blood and tried to stop a taxi, the taxi driver would not stop so the man tripped trying to stop him and that was when the bomb he was carrying went off and blow his legs away, two other men (Iranian?) run off from the house carrying another bomb this may be the one that was thrown at the police. This came from a TV Thai twitter. I am sure the story will change again. I hope the bar owers in Cowboy and Nana take note and make sure their service girls are switch on to customers leaving bag!!

Can help here if I can get to you and get back to help clean up, Clean up and sanitation.
Sorry very limited and have a few situations myself, with storage then if a group of people get together then may be inexpensive to rent a condo, room for storage, may be a database can be set up with who can do what then these members can be contacted when there is a need. Also people with jet washes and other item which can make the cleaning up easier.

I think the biggest problem will not be the water going over the defences it is under, depending on the structure of the soil, there has already been problems in the past at Survarnabhumi with small parts of runways collapsing, water will find its own level, how many underground water streams, (rivers) have been carved out because of this flood I wonder, some are under building undermining the structures. You may stop it going over but you will not stop it as it washes its way under. Hopeful the new drainage is working making the water go the easer route. I believe over the next few months leading in to the next year will be the most testing, more crime, more anger, less jobs, more diseases, structure problems, let hope its will not be as bad as I fear. Stay safe out there!

Lets remember! theInfrastructure for this type of event was put in place, improved? by the last Government, the PM had to play with what was in place, any one know what happen to the fund put to flood prevention. I believe with what she had in hand that no one could have done better.

Anyone else using the free elevation app for iPhone? Curious to know if it's accurate. My house is showing an above sea level elevation of 7.2m (ASL). I am about to find out if it is accurate as 7.2 ASL is about the highest elevation I could find in the area and the water just arrived down the street.
Found a good iPhone app "Height Finder" it is free, some do not work.

Soi 39 Sukhumvit still okay
-
The boat bus still working on Tawee Wattana canal (Friday 9:50am) the level of water has been the same for days.
