I certainly haven’t heard of any ramped up production on thease munitions.

You really have no idea what you say as long as it shows your hate for Trump. 

#1. Why would you be shown anything about ramped up productions or armament. 

#2. Why would the US een ramp up production yet, the OP clearly states the reason may be because the stockpile is diminishing due to excessive sales to Ukraine. So no ramp up in production would not even have begun yet.

Please stop twisting OPs just to show your anti-Trump rhetoric.

I think she will win, I also think that this is over dope shops and casinos and gettng rid of Thaksin without a coup 

Why did Annuitn leave the coalition at the start of this is suspect 

Smart man for him to leave. The backwash from the PMs action may hit all parties in office. I read somewhere also that there will be a case to get the PTP disbanded and removed from politics as well.

So trying to sort out the border problems the (suspended) PM insults the military.

THe military run thr constitutional court which then suspends the PM amid a background of talk about a military coup. THis cycle of "fake" litigation and suspension of politicians is the Thai way of running a country - it is not democratic, it is at the will of the military and needs to be stopped so the country can get on with becoming a democracy.

Wrong.... initially the soldier she insulted said it was ok and he would not press the issue. This happening now is not the soldier but instead her own Senate government.

Prescriptions can be issued by those qualified in various medical disciplines, including Thai traditional medicine, Chinese medicine, and conventional medicine, as reported by Matichon.

ok so really, you can go to any type of medical doctor and pay their fee to get a prescription. I seriously doubt this will impact anyone who really wants to smoke weed in thailand. especially since you can just about go to any doctor and pay their fee to get what you want that is legal for them to write prescriptions for.

I don't doubt addiction is bad for people (and society) but perhaps finding out why people choose to become addicted is worth understanding and then solving that problem, whether providing jobs or meaning to life, is worth examining.

People do not choose addiction or to become addicted. They are usually peer pressured into trying something and the drug takes control of them. There is no rational to this because even if the person does not want to take the drug more, the drug whispers in your head constantly to get more. It is something you need to experience to really understand. More so, it is very difficult to stop once started. That is why they call it addiction.  There is both a physical need as well as a psychological need for the drug 

methadone clinics have been in use for decades. always with the thought that you get them high and addicted to another drug that they will not want something else. What better place to find and deal strong drugs then outside the place. Catch them before going in. No matter what, these types of clinics have always been an eyesore to the community and have always drawn the lowest of low people to the area.

Sure, we had a visit the first time I used this address for the non-o extension, but never since, this was totally unannounced, they just showed up and demanded our presence. Usually for the extension they call first to make sure we are home as least a few hours in advance, but not this time.

How can they demand your presence if they show up unannounced?  That is ridiculous. They do not know if you are not near the home. Perhaps you travelled that day to another province or too far away for them. I am not saying you are wrong that they came to your door. But what guarantee would there be that you are even there?

These strategic changes are crafted to drive innovation and stability across various sectors, ensuring effective governance and progressive development for Thailand

This seems more like a strategic move to keep her in the government if she is removed as the PM. 

I am curious if these crane operators have any kind of formal training or licensed to operate this type of machinery. Seems to be accidents from cranes often in Thailand. Either falling apart whilst in operation or bad operators.

Same-same me, mate? Cheers for the subtle hint, bruv. Just ‘cause the lad’s speakin’ the Queen’s don’t mean I wanna be ambassador for the stinkin’ unwashed. And it’s not like he’s bangin’ up the equipment or throwing the weights, then the staff’d be all over him like seagulls on chips. But a sensitive subject like reekin’ up the joint? Nah, they’re hopin’ I’ll do their dirty work just ‘cause we both order blood sausage for brekki.

You misunderstood the Thais request. When he said same same as you. He meant that you stunk the same and you and ther other guy would make good friends.

How many protesters? It’s just noise from a vocal minor minority. I’ll venture to say they are even paid minions 

The news is saying this is the biggest protest since 2023...

We all know how that happened. Not much of a mystery when China controls everything posted in social media

I love these satire pieces.

 

"Trump is on a series of major victories because Trump says he's on a series of major victories."

 

The jokes just write themselves around here.

Surely you are just making an argument for arguments sake. Because Trump has been winning these cases in the courts and his policies are finally being permitted to follow through after those stupid democrats in the lower courts tried to stop him. If you were in his shoes you aso would be happy you are winning the cases and the other things that you have been fighting for.

One shouldn't have to declare it.

It's your property and you should do with it as you please.

I agree but unfortunately, governments do not. Every country has limits on what you are allowed to have in cash or gold when travelling without reporting it. how do they know if you are not smuggling drug money or scam money or that the excessive amount of money not reported was obtained illegally and being smuggled out so it can be deposited into another countries banks cleanly

Hi all,

I saw some Facebook pages from my country promoting tropical villas in Koh Phangan, aimed at foreigners..  here is a video demo: https://imgur.com/a/opV4MQ0 

They show fully furnished villas with private pools and promise up to 20% annual returns. In the comments, the admin said each villa is selling for about €150,000.

This made me wonder, how are they selling villas to foreigners if foreigners can't legally own land in Thailand? These aren't condos. So is it a 30-year lease, or is there some company structure involved?

 

I found the listing here:

https://lazudi.com/th-en/surat-thani/project/greeny-moon-villas-14851

But there's no info about leasehold, company setup, or legal ownership, just lifestyle and investment talk.

Is this common? Are they just selling lease contracts without saying it? 

Thanks in advance for any info or experience.

foreigner can own houses.. they can not own the land. So there must be another way like leasing the land for 50 years or using thai proxy for the land deal portion of this. 

Someone forgot to pay the BIB... A business like this does not pop up and go unnoticed by police who literally go to businesses weekly or monthly inspecting for infractions to collect on.

Many get into the religion to escape going to jail here. The problem with this is that religion is used as a crutch for some to hide behind. The Catholics and Muslims also have those that have broken vows, and laws while hiding behind the religion. 

I can not argue with your point. I was only talking about Thai Buddhism though. It seems to happen quite often in Thailand whereas other Buddhist countries problems seen in Thailand are rarely seen there.

Another skinny animal taking out his anti social behavior on a dog, just like the human garbage that's poisoning dogs in my neighborhood and is lucky his identity isn't known, yet. If this dog was attacking him or a child it's understandable, but chickens? Threatening to kill the owners also shows his mindset. Things like this can be worked out with a few baht to replace the chickens and asking to keep the dog at bay. 

Surely you do not live in the countryside.... Noone claims ownership to a dog that runs around on the streets or on other people's property until it is killed or missing. Go to the owner asking for compensation is more likely to cause injury to people more than to an animal or refusal to accept responsibility for their pet. Obviously, the man did not go there and kill the dog because he only saw it on their property. He had his own justification for doing this which the story does not illiterate on.
