How can you disband political parties?

 

They will naturally reform as they have certain views, possibly under different names.

Article 44 should do it ????? ti does everything else !!

That's what you get when you employ Thais ,substandard work ,corners cut at every turn ,I talking from experience 

maybe not Thai workers i think mostly from Maynmar/Cambodia you know the people who work for peanuts, you should see the ramshackle tin on-site huts that purports to be living accommodation with kids running about all over the place.

Yes, and that is because the police in Thai society has a duty to try to negotiate a settlement first. The father has CCTV and it is totally up to him if he wants to push this to court or not.

 

The police are only passengers on the journey that the father decides the direction of

 

money first that's the way everything else is second

According to a comment yesterday she was number 20 on the list and sat on seat 24 k there and back. By the way according to this list she has the rank of major. But then again the lady said she didn't make the trip. But the CCTV cameras at the airport should solve the problem on who went and who did not.

You think the cameras were working then ??????

give it a month they'll be back brown envelopes and all 

i think i heard the same no way is there going to be a government re-shuffle --------just before there was one

If a "valve" in the hydraulic system failed it would allow fluid to bypass and and lift the back?

i thought you had to engage the power take off that supplies the hyd pump, also there is a fail safe while the vehicle is moving the PTO is locked out ????

I suppose that they meant 18 years old as the Thais count age, so 1 at birth. Would make him 17 everywhere else.

they should go by assessed mental age =10 yrs

Dual-pricing isnt really the problem. The problem is that most Thai barbers simply dont know how to cut hair.

but the ones i use get the job done, you can not expect uk standards for the price the thai barbers charge

Hairdressers....a complete joke!!

Most of the hair-dressers, or better: barber-shops, do have dual prices.

Where Thais pay 80 baht for a hair-cut including shave and neck/massage massage, a farang pays for the same 100 baht if not more.

 

The question "Why does a farang pay more for the same service?" results in the answer: "Farang have bigger head" or "Farang have more money"

 

It's freakin' amazing that some Thai business people take the liberty apply their price list based on skin color

simple way to not get fleeced is to go to place that have the tariff board inside outside,  Say if they can understand english "no duel pricing" 

I have never been fleeced by a barber 130 bht shave and a haircut

All very well unless other laws get tightened and the vote was based on the current situation.

Another one where arrogant locals breaching peoples rights (closing off areas for private parking) that is not regulated or enforced by the local police causes problems. The locals again win through a money payout but what happens for the original pick up damages incurred? Doubtful any progress will be made trying to take up the case in court

This of course if the above story is factual but it does seem a more realistic version than the original one printed, like some say it made a better headline originally this will no doubt be swept away pretty quickly as no Thai is ever at fault

 

and this is exactly why the Thai's act in this way, They think they are beyond reproach and for years this has been going on, fully supported by the BIB

With ice and ya ba, two real problem drugs, at epidemic use, it seems like a waste of time going after kids and ketamine. I would suggest the BIB prioritize drug prosecutions. 

Drugs are drugs no matter what they are, if this is a low priority drug then all the better they got caught before they hit the hard stuff

so i suggest the BIB did a good job
