Right, so no more licences. I'm sure all the moral law abiding citizens of the cock fighting community will respect this directive, and not set up illegal fights behind closed doors. ????

If they work, this is great news. If.

"“The term ‘everything is under control’ was spoken before and during the big flood in 2011,” Adune said. “History teaches us lessons and we should learn from it, not let another failure happen.”"

This statement alone shows that he's smarter than anyone in the government.

This man is a pathological liar. And in my opinion, pure evil. 

Companies are telling their Thai staff not to travel via airports over Songkran. Those that do face 14 day quarantine, in many cases unpaid.

https://www.nichada.com/ is easily the most child friendly neighbourhood in Bangkok. Very few cars, dedicated cycle lanes that are actually respected, and footpaths and walkways too. There are a ton of other amenities and regular family orientated and other expat friendly activities are organised as well.

17 people heading back to Thailand in a 100% full plane? May want to recheck those numbers after landing ????

It will go ahead. But large parties and gathering will be cancelled. i.e. I would say the festivals in Pattaya, Khao San, and Silom will be cancelled.

2019 saw a decline in profits... but there were still profits..... except in Thai airways case. All the excuses they give might explain why things might not be as good as they could be, but don't explain why things are incredibly bad as they are, year after year.

So a single wipe down is going to keep the place virus free indefinitely? Yeah, nah, I don't think that's how it works 

ANZ shouldn't have even approved the loan. I am ashamed.

This is not red or yellow, this is Thailand's future who are speaking, who are saying they have had enough of the machinations of the old guard under the false guise of peace and unity. He's right to be scared.

The seeds of unrest are not being sown by the voices of Thailand's future, but rather when the dinosaurs of it's past disbanded Future Forward.

Depends on the type of work and their qualifications/skills. Uni grads seem to get 18-25k, going up to 40k after 5 years or so. Assist Managers/Managers go higher than this up to ~70k in my experience. Director positions 120k+. VPs 150-300k depending on company. 

So the average really depends on who they are or what they do.

I'm browsing around Bangkok and central regions now, and still seeing 20-30 point less from the Thai gov site. e.g. Ayutthaya 121 vs. 154, Pakret 134 vs. 155. ????

Improve the economic numbers by closing down factories and plants for two extra days???  Ding. Ding. Ding. What is going on, here?

It's likely that the extra holidays will just be for government employees, or in some cases come private employers might move holidays from other dates to these two. It is unlikely companies will increase minimum public holidays from 13 to 15.

And, if I remember correctly, she's been appointed to an anti-corruption body? How can anyone take this "government" seriously?
