Wan Mohammed Noor was interior minister at the time of Thaksin's war on drugs. Even as a southern Malay Muslim himself he failed to speak out about the Tak Bai and Krusae Mosque murders by the Thaksin regime of which he was a part. He's just in it for the money and is a former Thaksin man. No good for MFP can come from the appointment of this politician for hire.

Can they find out your real name and other details, if you review under an assumed name and country in Tripadvisor? That's where I have put my honest negative reviews on Thai hotels for years and never had any comeback. It sucks to feel intimidated into silence rather warning other travellers about things they need to know and maybe even inspiring the hotel management to fix problems.

Most of these were international flights from the days before Swampy.

It is a temple school. Free education for the poorest of the poor Buddhists. It is assumed the parents have no rights. The teacher probably transferred to another temple school where the parents and children also have no rights and have this dirtbag imposed on them.

This evil woman hit a small child so hard that she bruised his back and they transfer her to "help out" another school district where the parents there obviously don't want her and where she is free to abuse other children. What disgusting behaviour! She should be suspended immediately and, if found guilty, she should be fired and have her teacher's licence revoked for life in addition to criminal penalties for assault of a minor.

If you keep vicious dogs of that type, you need to keep a loaded .45 ACP by your bed and with you at all times and hope you can get to it to blow their heads off before they can incapacitate you. Better still don't keep such revolting animals.

The blood must be in the section of the walkway that collapsed with the remains of the poor woman's leg.

You can buy Tesla, Apple and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), NASDAQ ETF (QQQ) and many other US stocks through a Thai brokerage international account. I have one, although I don't use it as I have accounts in the US and HK.

I guess that the section of the walkway she was standing on suddenly collapsed as she was coming to the end of it, causing her leg to fall down a hole and be trapped by the intact walkway section behind it before she could haul it out. There is a clip in the Mail article showing several sections of an escalator collapsing and swallowing up a man completely in Turkey.

My heart goes out to the victim of this heart wrenching and totally avoidable accident caused by using equipment past its sell by date and then not bothering to maintain it. From the photographs it is hard to see what happened but one assumed a section of the walkway collapsed just before the end pulling her leg down and the section behind it that did not collapse severed her leg. Some reports blame her for tripping over her suitcase but that would not sever her leg, if a piece of the walkway did not collapse under her.

"The airport director and other senior administrators went to the hospital to follow up on the victim’s condition and promised to take care of her medical expenses and compensation. The management also offered an apology for the accident." This is AOT, a powerful state enterprise. Their lawyers and connections will ensure compensation is pitiful. The apology is not good enough. The director responsible for safety should be fired without compensation. It is the only way to make Thais bother about safety. This was an aged escalator installed in 1996, possibly second hand, and left unused for a few years while the airport was empty.

Thailand has no nuclear power industry and no need of uranium futures. Even the CME uranium futures are very illiquid and difficult to trade. One of the attractions of investing in uranium is actually that there is no substantial futures market, so it is not manipulated by bank traders in the way that gold and silver are. The spot price is dependent on demand from utilities to make up short falls at the margins, although they get most of their fuel requirements from long-term contracts direct with miners. There is also a substantial amount of recycling of uranium by utilities. The easiest way to get exposure to uranium spot prices is by buying the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust listed in Canada that actually holds physical uranium https://sprott.com/investment-strategies/physical-commodity-funds/uranium/. There are also listed uranium mining companies. The largest in the West is Cameco listed in Canada and the US. The largest in the world is Kazatomprom, majority owned by Kazachistand and listed in London. There are many smaller uranium miners listed in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. If you want more information on investing in uranium look up Uranium Minute on YouTube.

If you want to trade onshore in Thailand using Thai baht, you may open an international trading account at any Thai securities company and trade international markets online directly. All offer the US market and major Asian markets like HK and Singapore. Of course you pay a double commission because they have to put the orders through foreign brokers but the online commissions are still quite reasonable. So you can buy SPY in NY or any S&P 500 stocks through a Thai brokerage account, if you wish to do it. Since you have a bank account with SCB, you can ask them to introduce you to SCB Securities.

Definitely not a pothead face to be sure.

The link with cannabis seems somewhat tenuous in both cases. However, it is strange that there are no calls for a total prohibition on alcohol every time some one is killed by a drunk.

Necessary to clear out the database to make way for new foreign crims that Big Joke keeps turning up.

A picture to inspire confidence. A row of plods with pistols drawn and fingers on the trigger. Finger should be out of the trigger guard until ready to fire to prevent accidental discharge. What appalling traing.

It's the lawyer's job. Can't blame him for filing the complaint. He has to do the best he can for the client, no matter what she has done.

That was that election in July 2011 that lead to Yingluck being installed as nominee PM for Thaksin. Fortunately the poor Isaan boys now have an alternative to the greedy and corrupt Shinawatra family party that now has no meaningful reform policies, in fact no meaningful policies at all other than to bring the party owner home. No need to vote for family business parties owned by billionaires who might deign to throw a few crumbs of their cake to the poor, if they are lucky.

Yes. He is perceived as a serious threat to the established order involving politicians, bureaucrats and military being allowed to steal systematically from the taxpayer and commit various other crimes with impunity. The problem seems to be that they risk digging themselves into a deeper hole. The rise of Pita and the momentum of MFP at the ballot box was a direct result of the earlier moves to ban Thanathorn and dissolve FF. This also generated angry protests that created an atmosphere where people dared to talk about reform of 112 and the military. The movement seems to have proved it can regenerate itself in adversity and come back stronger. Probably wouldn't have done so well if Thanathorn had been allowed to continue as leader with his rather chaotic and dictatorial billionaire style. Pita, who is a far greater threat than Thanathorn, due to his more organised style with coherent policies for every issue under the sun, would never have made to party leader. Remove that head and another one will appear. Better for the establishment to let inexperienced, young MFP ministers get power and mess up which would probably erode their popularity for the next election. But that is not their style and wasn't their approach with Thaksin who is now trying to pose as a pro-establishment politician just to come home. Ha ha.

Korn was actually a good finance minister but his unholy alliance with a old fashioned gangster politician ended in predictable failure. It didn't help that Korn was blacklisted by MFP rank and file for supporting Prayut to be PM in 2019. I guess he is now talking to Abhisit about a joint come back to the Democrats. That would involve him playing second fiddle to Abhisit again but better than sitting out in the cold.

P:ersonally I don't see it as at all inevitable that MFP will get to form a government. Even if Pita is not yet suspended by the Constitutional Court by the tme the PM election takes place, the senate will not vote for them in large enough numbers. Anutin's BJP will not vote for him, neither will the Democrats. So where does Anutin think he will get the 375 votes. I think he is just putting out his position for whoever gets to be PM.

Chonanan is just a figure head. The party is owned by Thaksin who dictates policy but he is virulently anti-drugs, having witnessed the effects on his son. Had about 2,000 or more alleged drug dealers murdered without due process on his watch. Many, including a 9 year old boy and a 70 year women, were either nothing to do with drugs or were members of rival drug gangs not supported by police.

A few nights in the Pattaya lock up in just a pair of dirty shorts being bitten all over by mosquitoes should sober him up. Let's hope he has enough money to pay off the BiB and pay for the damage to the hotel but BiB may have lifted any cash he had already.

Absolutely. Reefer madness again.
