  1. Assts declarations every year for anyone over the rank of lance corporal would be a good start.
  2. A lot of people have complained about plastic bag torture by Thai police. You can see in the full length video clip that cops were walking in and out while the murder was in progress. They just came to have a look at the man thrashing about in his death thoes while being held down on the floor and went off about their business. Clearly an everyday affair for them. The only thing remakable about is that a cop took huge personal risk to blow the whistle. I would nt' be surprised to read that he has had a nasty accident in future.
  3. There must be more senior cops implicated in this. You can't survive for long as a rogue operator in the police. They have to pay upfront for their positions and and pay monthly rent. This guy wasn't discrete, so it was well known he was making a lot of money and, if he didn't allow enough of it to flow up the pipe, he would have been reassigned to a poor rural district in Isaan.
  4. Pfizer's full approval by the FDA should open the way for it to sell direct direct to the private sector bypassing crocked governments in third world countries. Moderna is was only a couple of weeks behind Pfizer in filing for full approval. The Thai government likes its import monopoly and will probably try to hang on to it by delaying full approval by the worthless Thai FDA. But ultimately they will not be able to control the imports just like any other vaccines and their idea of Pfizer for them and tiny quantities of Moderna distributed to private hospitals on a lottery system will fall apart, if supplies ramp up and vaccine need persists. Maybe Dr Boon will eventually get his order of Pfizer after all.
  5. Did a search for Ostland Capital and couldn't find a website but it has only B5m in registered capital which is probably not fully paid up. So basically a shell company that has no experience and cannot be sued for non-performance because it has no capital or assets. Not the kind of company allowed to compete in government tenders in rule of law jurisdictions.
  6. The good doctor has not taken into account the political expediences created by the upcoming no confidence debate.
  7. Procuring supplies of Afghan black for the Mary Jane projects in Buriram and poppies for the sinister minister.
  8. The delay is necessary to ensure statutes of limitations expire and bent cops and prosecutors can never be prosecuted, just like Boss.
  9. Good news about lower cases, easing lockdowns and reopening tourism is an absolute political expediency ahead of the no confidence debate targeting Prayut and Anutin for mismanaging the pandemic. The big target is an early general election in 1H21.
  10. I have a bottle of ethyl alcohol ordered from a chemical supplier last year when COVID started and it was difficult to get the blue stuff. It was originally a 5L tank. It is colorless and smells like Bacardi. I tasted a drop on my finger and it was nice. I think it would be good with coke and ice but I haven’t tried drinking it or spraying it on food yet.
  11. Gosh it’s so lucky for Prayut and Anutin that the numbers are rolling over just before the no confidence debate. Soon they will be able to fully reopen tourism and onwards to a general election in the New Year before the 4th waves gets going.
  12. They also announced vaccines for SARS and Ebola that were never used. SARS petered out and better Ebola vaccines were produced sooner.
  13. LIke the great victories and news of popular uprisings in the South that announced in the Hanoi newspapers during the Tet Offensive, while thousands of North Vietnamese young men were actually being slaughtered like cattle in a foot and mouth epidemic and there were zero uprisings in the South. The readers wondered why they never heard anything more of their sons who had been sent South. It is typical dictatorial propaganda trying to create a distraction from current catastrophes with fake news about victories.
  14. when they reach the target they can introduce a law to make it illegal for foreigners to own condos.
  15. I once bought 6 antique gold sovereigns at an auction in London online and asked them to ship to my mother's address in the UK by registered mail. But the auction house got the instruction wrong and sent them to my home address in Bangkok. To my surprise they arrived at my door with no problem.
  16. Mainly good experience with incoming packages. I don't want to use couriers for most things because they don't have Thailand Posts exemption from import taxes if value less B1,500 and often even overcharge tax. Loss rate over several years is less than 1%. With domestic unregistered domestic mail I recently sent a cheque from the mail box in my village as I didn't wan to go to PO during COVID. The cheque took 2 months to arrive in another part of Bangkok. causing loads of grief. I understand why Thai usually use registered post or EMS instead of unregistered mail but queueing up at the PO is not my idea of fun. I once ordered a telescopic sight from Europe costing over 1,000 euros. I ordered by mail as it was cheapest but the supplied refused to send by post saying the maximum insurance cover of Thailand post was far too low to cover the cost of the item. So they sent it via UPS. For high value items I think the cost of couriers makes sense, unless you are prepared to take the hit with a low insurance pay out. But I am not sure if they will all ship gold and jewellery.
  17. I wonder where the forthcoming lamda and epsilon outbreaks will start and whether the Thai miracle vaccine cocktail of AZ+SV will work wonders with them.
  18. Tourists are not being punished for wanting a drink. They are being punished for making an irrational decision to come and spend their money in a third world country with a dictatorial government in the midst of a pandemic. They should have known better.
  19. Cops must have been tipped off by someone running a competing establishment.
  20. Not approved even by the WHO which falls over backwards to promote Chinese interests and withdrawn from the US because the the manufacturer refused to submit data requested by the FDA. Bid placed by the subsidiary of a Thai real estate company. What could possibly be wrong with this?
  21. Rather muddled and not very effective but very funny. The Chinese ambassador was just at the airport telling Thais that the Chinese are their brothers helping them out with yet another unwanted shipment of Sinovac.
  22. They just come out with this complete nonsense and expect people to believe them.
  23. I believe a large number of prisoners have volunteered for the trials.
