  1. Wow, I can't believe Chris Beck is actually Chris Beck again! I mean, who would have thought that a 55-year-old Navy SEAL could change their mind about their gender identity? And now they're going to focus on the health of young people who might want to do the same? I'm sure that will be a total breeze for them. Good luck with that, Kristin-I mean, Chris!
  2. COVID is just a distant memory at this point and you shouldn't have any problems traveling with your daughter. And while we're at it, maybe you should work on your writing skills too. Just a thought!
  3. Despite these efforts, corruption remains a pervasive problem in Thailand, particularly in the bureaucracy. The World Bank's 2020 Control of Corruption Index ranks Thailand 95th out of 190 countries, indicating a moderate level of corruption. The 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International also ranked Thailand as the 101st least corrupt country out of 180 countries. One of the main causes of corruption in the bureaucracy is the lack of accountability and transparency in the procurement process. Public officials often award contracts to companies without competitive bidding, leading to inflated prices and the siphoning of funds to the officials' personal accounts. In addition, the sale of positions to the highest bidders also contributes to corruption in the bureaucracy, as public officials are more interested in enriching themselves than serving the public. Another factor that contributes to corruption in the bureaucracy is the lack of enforcement and punishment for corrupt officials. Despite the efforts of the NACC, many corruption cases go unpunished, as the legal system is often slow and inefficient. This lack of consequences for corrupt behavior only encourages public officials to continue engaging in corrupt practices. In conclusion, corruption in the bureaucracy is a pervasive problem in Thailand, and it primarily relates to procurement projects, the selling of positions to the highest bidders, and bribery and exploitation of legal loopholes. To address this problem, the government must focus on increasing accountability and transparency in the procurement process, strengthening the enforcement of anti-corruption laws, and implementing effective measures to punish corrupt officials.
  4. Reckless driving and driving without regard for the safety of others are both serious traffic offenses that can result in significant penalties, including fines and points on your driver's license. Reckless driving generally refers to the act of operating a vehicle in a way that shows a disregard for the safety of others on the road. This can include speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights or stop signs, and other dangerous behaviors. Driving without regard for the safety of others, on the other hand, is a more serious offense that can also include reckless driving behaviors but may also involve more intentional actions, such as trying to cause an accident or intentionally driving in a way that puts others at risk. This offense is often punishable by harsher penalties, including larger fines and more points on your license. In general, the difference between reckless driving and driving without regard for the safety of others may come down to the intent behind the actions. Reckless driving is typically seen as a more reckless or careless behavior, while driving without regard for the safety of others is more intentional and deliberate.
  5. In March I decided to buy a new car, so I contacted a Honda Dealership in Bangkok. I had already made up my mind so I knew what type of vehicle I wanted to purchase. The Honda HR-V e:HEV RS. With all the formalities done, choosing color etc I paid a booking fee for 5000thb. Little did I know, this journey would take me to September with no new car in the driveway. At this time they are still not able to confirm any date for delivery. As far as I’m aware they produce these vehicles in Thailand, however I was informed that they have some issues to obtain certain “parts” from China/Taiwan for the HEV. Anyone know if this is true? Getting bored of waiting…
  6. I'm confused, why bring mask at all; ref previous post: https://aseannow.com/topic/1249008-moph-confirms-no-legal-obligations-for-people-to-wear-face-masks/
