Sattahip District Chief Transferred After Pub Fire Kills 14 People

It's always transferred, never fired. Why aren't these guys ever fired? -
PM Wants Nationwide Entertainment Venues Checked
brucegoniners replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
That's about the first intelligent thing that's ever come out of his mouth. Yes, yes, yes, have them checked by someone besides the people who are receiving bribes for looking the other way. And that would be who? Hmmmmm, hard to say... -
For the last week I've been TRYING TO get internet from the fine folks at True. Since I don't speak any Thai that was an immediate issue. After filling out the form expressing interest I got no less than 8 consecutive calls from people who spoke no English, even though I told their English speaking customer service people I don't speak Thai and I needed to communicate in English. I finally got my installation date for yesterday. I ordered a 2 gb download connection. After almost 3 hours of bumbling around they informed us their modem only supported 1 gb and they'd have to come back. It gets worse. Today they were supposed to be here at 2 pm. They were almost an hour late. I requested they send an installation manager because I had serious doubts about the abilities of their people. They didn't. And once again they didn't bring the 2 gb modem. They said they'd bring one in 30 minutes, which turned into an hour. Finally the equipment arrived. But these guys couldn't figure out how to install it. I swear they attempted to splice the wires about 50 times and finally nailed it (I guess). For the last hour (it's 5:20 now) they've been trying to configure the connection on their laptop. The guy doesn't seem to know how to do his job and has called the office numerous times with no success. I called again a little while ago. They told me they'd "inform the technical team". 6 pm. I had enough. I told them to go home. I was on the phone with a customer service manager who informed me the issue was outside and there was no signal. They have to call still another "subcontractor" to fix the issue. So why did they try to install it in the first place? They certainly tested the line enough times. My question is, what in the world has happened to True Internet???

What in the world are "antibody doses" and how do they differ from vaccines? I know what MRNA is, but this sounds different. -

Every country should shun these pigs, especially the US. Otherwise stop talking about human rights. -
Thailand to Tighten Air Quality Safety Standards
brucegoniners replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
What a bunch of BS! I see this statement from the government about once a year and nothing is ever done. How about the people burning their garbage here in Pattaya? No enforcement whatsoever and our air is terrible. It gets old. -

Sad to see Thailand kissing up to these scumbags. My country does it too much as well. -

Should Thailand buy oil and gas from Russia and Iran?

Not a chance. I’d rather pay more than support Putin.
