To migrate your account to Paypal Thailand you need to do ID verification and Paypal decided to outsource that to NDID (National Digital Identification Co Ltd), a private Thai company that only provides ID verification for Thai citizens. Therefore Paypal made the decision to axe foreign accounts in Thailand through its choice of ID verification contractor. Seems odd because most Thai consumers and vendors have no need of Paypal. They transfer funds online and send the slip with LINE saving card and other other payment service fees. I guess it was mainly foreigners and a small number of Thais who can read English and have enough money to buy stuff from overseas that used Paypal.

If they ever get the subs, let's hope they don't use them and just leave them in the dock for kids to play in on Children's Day like the aircraft carrier. Couldn't bear another drama like the boys in the cave.

He was angry but their neighbor, the owner, was a good man who would take care of the funeral cost. Strange definition of a good man. Hopefully he will also take care of funeral costs for the three pit bulls.

Lucky for the unfortunate victim that he didn't survive after having his genitals ripped apart by the beasts.

Triads started coming in late 19th century. By the 1920s there were large rival triad gangs involved in a range of crime including kidnapping. Their descendants are now gangster politicians who are starting to wake up to the threat to their turf from slick new arrivals.

There used to be a big problem with chinese triad gangs in the early part of the 20th century including kidnappings and other crimess. The descandants of the triads eventually became Thai poliiticians. Maybe they will also assimilate the current wave of Chinese triads in the local criminal/political structure. They seem a good fit.

What happened to the Swiss guy? I haven’t seen any follow up reports. Last I saw he was allowed bail. The Swiss guy apparently had a string defence. Self defence and defence of wife (he didn’t know the intruder was his wife’s lover) against an armed intruder who threatened him with a revolver in his home. He fought three intruder, managed to disarm him and continued to fight until the threat was neutralized which unfortunately resulted in the intruder’s death. This would be accepted I’m most rule of law jurisdictions. In the case in hand there is no self defense argument presented and it doesn’t seem the intruder was armed or presented a threat to life and limb. It seems the property owner used more force than was needed to eject the thief from his property. The intruder sustained serious injuries for which the property should be held responsible in criminal and civil law. He should not be held responsible for the death, if expect medical opinion holds that that would not have occurred, if the deceased had stayed on for medical treatment.

The cops could also access that database on their phones. These BMW smart cars are obviously another way to waste taxpayers' money with kickbacks to suppliers of unnecessary, overpriced eqipment.

So presumably Danes have figured out their currency is now worthless abroad and they change to euros or USD before travelling. A terrific advantage of Denmark's currency independence wrangled from the EU.

What's left of Move Forward will be wiped out in the next election due to the 100 divisor for party list seats. They got most of their seats from the party list under the old system. The final nail in the coffin of the party that dared to be popular with youth and challenge the dinosaurs. The irony is of course that Pheua Thai will do best from the new electoral system.

True. The Nepalese looks more like a chocolate cake in comparison.

They try to make it sound like he is being punished by being sacked with full pension after he had already resigned. He got a big pay off and doesn't care. So did the people above him responsible for this fiasco. Thailand corruption - the fish has rotted from the head down.

Just got a new Por. 3 permit to buy a .308 custom rifle for long distance competition shooting out to 1,000 yards. No psychiatric test or anything else new, as these changes are only being discussed. Nothing has changed so far. Permits are more or less "shall issue" in Bangkok, if you have all the qualifications, but all the provinces are different and outside Bkk you have to apply to your district office which is usually more difficult, whereas Bkk has a central licensing office and district offices are not involved. Provincial governors are permitted to set different standards for issuing gun permits, depending on how they view the situation in their province, but can only make them stricter, not more lenient than in the current 1947 Firearms Act. Many provinces, e.g. Phuket have a blanket ban on permits for foreigners but that is not the case in Bkk which just follows the national law as in the Firearms Act which has hardly been updated since 1947. A recent attempt to amend it under the coup government failed. One of the proposed amendments was a proposed ban on new registrations to foreigners, despite no record of guns registered to foreigners ever having been used in a crime.

I was wondering if the sellers on LINE's shop.line.me are legit or scams. Some are offering low price weed and one offering Nepalese hash claimed to be imported.

Makes. I am an occasional plinker and sports shooter in Thailand. This kind of scenario used to be a recurring nightmare. I also would never take a bag that has been to the range on a trip or wear range shoes. Just an empty cartridge case flying into your bag unnoticed is enough to get you arrested in most places.

Some of the other articles, including the link in the OP to a Hebrew article I google translated, say that he had already been in Thailand for a few weeks and was arrested on arrival in Phuket on a domestic flight from Bangkok. That suggests the ammo and magazines passed security at Ben Gurion Airport, which is virtually impossible, then passed arrivals security in Bangkok and then again passed domestic departure security in Bangkok before finally running out of luck on the fourth airport security check of its journey. This was not just a single .22 or 9mm bullet which could perhaps have more easily escaped the owner's notice but two magazines filled with 55 5.56mm cartridges which would be reasonable heavy and bulky. Even if he was in a rush to leave home to go the airport in Israel, you would think it the two full mags would have been noticed during his trip before he took the domestic flight. He could have discretely wrapped them in a plastic bag and dumped them in a river or in the sea. He is a police border guard. I wonder what view he and the Israeli press would take if a Hamas security official was caught trying to enter Israel with two full AK47 mags that he had overlooked in his suitcase. The article doesn't cite any police investigation into the type of 5.56 ammunition. There is a limited range of 5.56 ammo available in Thaland and some of it is locally manufactured. It would be interesting to know if it was a brand that could have been sourced locally or was it the type normally used by Israeli military and police which is probably made in Israel One assumes the court wasn't too impressed with his arguments.

Couldn’t care less about Lady Hussey or the attention seeker with the dreadlocks. Both worthless human beings.

If they are using CCTV evidence, how will they know who was driving the car? My wife drives my car. Her brother dives her car. My maid owns a pick-up and she doesn’t drive at all but her son in law drives it. And what about company owned vehicles? A lot of people are going to say they lent the car to someone called Jiap who lives somewhere up country and they never knew his real name.

I knew a hi-so Thai who lived in an inherited house in prime Sukhumvit. He was getting really annoyed with noise from condo cconstruction site next door that was working nearly 24/7. He made many complaints to Thonglor fuzz shop but they always ignored as they were being paid of by the contractor. One night he had enough, so he screamed at them to stop at the top of his voice. When they continued he fired several unaimed shots up at the condo. Miraculously the noise stopped immediately and he was never disturbed by them at night any more. I didn't condone his behaviour. Even being hi-so and well connected he would have had big headaches, if he had killed or injured someone on the site or one of neighbours from a falling bullet. Not to mention the workers were just poor sods tring to support their families and ordered to work OT by a greedy dirtbag contractor and project owner who didn't give a damn about workers or neighbours. Unfortunately even Thais well educated overseas believe they have a right to settle problems with gun violence. So how can the uneducated Thais be expected to behave any better.

This one now only delivers to Pattaya, although website says nationwide deliveries by post.

Of course it was not done for medical reasons. They had already legalised medical use with prescription from a licensed Thai herbal practitioner and the GPO was already producing THC and CBD oil for the purpose. This legislation is still effective for use of THC extracts with over 0.2% THC. Smoking was also legal in controlled medical and research environments. They could have widened that up a bit perhaps requiring prescriptions to buy buds from dispensaries, the way California started, or just left it as it was. It was not for the people either. Anutin's associates are well versed in the technology of cannabis culture and knew full well that the Isaan Thai peasants in his support bases in Buriram and Srisaket would not do well with the plant, lacking the knowiedge and technology to cultivate and cure them for maximum yield. As it is most of the million seedlings distributed to farmers shrivelled and died in a short space of time. It is all about the MONEY. Huge amounts have already been made from local plantations and imports from North America, marked up at least 100% over North American retail prices, for which the Customs Department has presumably been ordered to look the other way and pick up the brown paper envelopes. The scope of investment in illegal plantations in Laos by Thai politicians and politically connected gangsters is unknown but probably huge. Medical applications are limited and of questionable efficacy with a few notable exceptions, e.g. certain types of epilepsy and terminal cancer. The main money making opportunity is in recreational use. Having said all that, I am in favour of legalisation for Thailand which could work wonders for tourism and provide income for a lot of Thais, even if Thai farmers are sadly excluded. Despite his often idiotic and crass remarks Anutin is not a fool and knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that legalisation would have had zero chance, if he had been open about legalising it for the main purpose of recreational use.

Hilarious!

A better deal than Biden who got nothing in return for eating humble pie and fist bumping M. Bone Saw. Payudh can send slave laborers back to be abused with no jutice for the Saudis murdered by police generals and Thailand gets to keep the rocks too.

The article points out that the Administrative Court has the power to overturn government decrees and that it has received a petition to overturn the decree that decriminalized cannabis. The court has this power because government decrees that have the force of law, unlike acts of parliament, are signed by individual ministers or their staff without parliamentary scrutiny or public consultation.

My question too. Many people drive other people's cars. My wife drives my car and her brother drives her car. What about company cars? I might transfer all into a company name, if there is an advantage.
