Joe salad has good salads and meals for a lunch. At Siam paragon, I usually go to the fresh salad location. In Sala Deng, I go to sunrise taco It all depends on what you want.

My suggestion is simple to move out of BKK I live in Rangsit and can tell you things are definitely better and cheaper the BKK. If you need to get in the city the BTS is now running very smoothly. Immigration is easier to deal with Stores actually want to sell to you. people are friendlier Housing is definitely cheaper.

I agree, but I think it was not as organized as it is now. Going to be interesting to see what the next show brings if Prayut does not do anything. My question, though, is who do you have to do the investigation if the head of MPB and, therefore his underlings are involved Sounds like they need to bring in the BIG JOKE team and let them go at it. As stated BJ is the most trusted police official there is right now by both the tourists and the locals. As an aside, I just got an award for this being my first post in 12 years ????

A shadow looms large over the Pheu Thai Party
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The problem is that if PT wins and no matter who is PM they will only be like JOE in the U.S. A figurehead for an outside voice. In this case Thaksin. Prawit will be a voice of the military The only way to resolve this is to have a stron opposition that can force them to play nice. -
Thaksin says daughter will announce his return to Thailand this year
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If they use the same wording as before it gives anyone that has been prosecuted for political crimes immunity. Also any person that is charged with Corruption and skips the country will be able to use this as their means to get back. EXAMPLE X is PM and his party is removed by force protest because he is caught with his families fingers in the cookie jar. The incoming government charges him in absentia and he is found guilty in the same courts as Thaksin was. Somchai can use it as a precedent for him to be able to come back and say that it was apolitical hit job would he not. -

Yes it is going to be interesting to see what the people do if they do not like the next government. Protests are okay but I think they are really gong to have to be careful how hard they protest and what they do. I do not think that there is a desire for the military to take over again. -

We keep taling about getting rid of the big money brown envelope politics. That is part of what Thaksin was and is. This want a government that is not going to be filled with corruption and shady deals. The only way he should come back is to either face the charges or accept them, Granting him and his sister immunity is not what is needed as it creates a precedence for every leader or politician before and after him. -

Thaksin says daughter will announce his return to Thailand this year

I have a great deal of knowledge about honesty. Dedication to the rule of law and order. The fact that you spout that we are have no idea but you do begs the question what makes you so almighty informed. Thaksins was found guilty by the courts he appealled and was still found guilty If as you say it was tripe and bs why did he not comeback when pt were in power. Also the point you are also missing is that while he is popular in the PT world he us not popular outside it. He represents everything that Thais are trying to get rid of. -

Lol that could be but I don't think we want a repeat of 2010. -
I would argue against just finding people that are wiling. The GF works in the blood bank at a Thai hospital and they do a hell of a lot of screening. My suggestion would be to get your BIL referred to a hospital in BKK that can better screen the blood. Yes yo will have to pay BUT your idea of just fining someone to donate 2 pints will not work with the screening and the hassle. They will not take blood from someone that is diabetic, or has any disease. Old people are not allowed. Depending on meds they may or may not be banned. Alsoholics are a no go. Also in a BKK hospital they have the ability to monitor and ensure.

I go to immi loaded for bear LOL. Taking too much is better than not taking enough. Get a letter from the Condo saying that you own the unit and take all your papers. Immigration already has you living in the unit as you have reported it on your 90 day. Mine is int eh GF name and I took her and all her papers PT imm did not even blink an eye or ask for proof of living residence.

Thaksin says daughter will announce his return to Thailand this year

He knows what every rich Thai knows. He knows that there are people greedy enough for money and power that they will kiss the devil. He knows that Prawit is not gong to be in a powerful enough position to rule the country on his own and that his daughter will be in the same boat. With the current set up it will be almost impossible for ether to win without a huge fight and without dividing the country. If PT wins almost a majority and are able to find enough votes in the house to put her in power as PM and the military chosen Senate votes for Prawit. Then the red shirts (UDD) will go nuts. Prawit understands that if that happens he can not use the military to put the Genie back in the bottle. The interesting thought to this is that while yes there is support for Thaksin it is not in the young people or the None red shirts. Saying that you are going to bring back Thaksin was part of the reason that Yingluck got in so much trouble. This could play into Prayut and the FF parties favour. The only way Thaksin comes back is if the ruling government and King absolve him and Yingluck of all crimes that they have been found guilty of. -
You know this site is awesome It allows people to spout about what is wrong but when asked what they think should be done instead of corporal punishment they either hide or say we are child abusers Tgis is the same attitude that libs in the west screamed about. Now teachers get beat up kids take gns to school and students when they think they are graduating find out they did not pass enough classes.
-
Ok not a teacher. I agree that this is over the top 25 push ups maybe BUt can we stop withe the child abuse and call it what it is assault. The problem is the same one all through Thai society. No one knows what to do. What's reasonable. It is the same with teaching classes the only thing you g and old teachers know is what they saw as students. No one really teaches teachers how to teach. No one mentors the new teachers or assists them.

Thammanat, Prawit and the predicted return of Thaksin Shinawatra
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In a country that worship Thai soaps and deal in optics over action this is expected. It is also done in north American politics but they kiss the posterior or ring in private. Will thaksins be satisfied having part of the pm ear or does he want total control. Kid yourself not if PT wins the most seats it will be a PT pm or all hell will break loose and the army will not be able to put humpty back together again -
JSOC Law For Preventing Repeat Sexual Or Violent Crimes Takes Effect
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
While I think there are flaws in this plan I think it is a better way of solving the over crowding in prisons than the systems set up in California and NYC ie cashless bail . Thine advantage is that in theory instead of cops going out trying to find out if somchai was in the area and where he went much like Google they will know where he goes and when. That is if course until somchai figures out how to hack the system. -
