Pheu Thai running the government wants to revive giving tablets to all school children and teachers... haha.. they must still have accounting on the profits gained from the last time they did this scheme.. perhaps this is how they plan to get the money to give all Thai 10000 baht. The tablets scheme last time was full of problems. Most of which the cost the government said they paid for and the equipment received did not balance out... then there was the problem that teachers has allowing kids to use them in the classrooms for actual school work.. let's not forget that not all families.. have the internet to use a tablet at home for school work.. but I guess new leadership men's developing new scams or using old scams they worked well in the past to generate extra income for the politicians.

The accident and subsequent injuries are 100 % the car drivers fault. Clearly running the red light and slamming into the bike . The girl and her family hold some responsibilities but that is a separate matter. It could have easily been the truck behind the bike getting hit.. The father or mother or both should be criminally cited for neglect by allowing her to drive at that age. The girl l, if she lives should get cited for driving without a permit. The accident would not have happened to the girl if she had not been there. But the way the driver in the car was driving an accident at that intersection was inevitable. So that driver should take 100% blame for it.

My guess is that when he went to that ladyboy show... and met that umm ladyboy. Sparks flew and maybe something a little wet that his wife was not giving him anymore after 30 years together. I feel sorry for the ex-wife.. to lose your husband to another man is quite an insult to her. Hope she got a good settlement in their divorce.

Isn't that what they are paid to do?

A year or maybe until he get released and then gets real medical uhh treatment at another hospital and declared healthy again

Are you serious? What makes you think that free entry into Thailand or another month or 2 extension on visa would increase these gangs. Surely this is trivial to them coming and opening call center gangs. I do not even think a Chinese free visa will increase travel here. If they could not afford a measley few hundred baht to enter then they probably could not afford their plane tickets. As for the Op. I think he better confess to get lesser sentence while he can and get out of Thailand ASAP.

Actually you are wrong. As an American citizen he is bound by the laws in the USA even if he is not in that country. He will find this out if he returns to the USA or perhaps he will be extradited back or have his visa for Thailand revoked and be forced to return. Either way he broke the laws and will be charged for it in the USA as well and added to their lists of pedophiles.

I'm sure he could provide a billion reasons to grant it.

You may be well and correct.. but it is obvious he is receiving special treatment and not as if he was a criminal in prison. This fact alone would make anyone with common sense know all this was played out as planned.

Perhaps.. but maybe instead people will start getting more money in their pockets and change their minds. Money is the key... Thaksin knew this before.. So did the red shirts.. Especially the new law reducing payments to the elderly monthly.. Not alot of people are happy they have to send more money to family members because of this. Bad move for the last government. But maybe that was planned also . Reduce it now and when their new leader takes office increase it even more. Hmm.. something to think about..makes him look so good.. I would bet there were many things planned to get this new pm.. just took time to get it all on place. I will not be surprised if he steps down for medical reasons and allows the real leader meant to be there take over.

I'm sorry for this Thai couple... What a shame the police are there for arresting them. Clearly the fetis was a miscarriage and they were only practising their right to busy it. How can this be illegal? I can understand if it was illegally aborted... But a fall causing the miscarriage is not a crime. Nor would I think it is a crime to bury it. I wonder how large the brown envelope will be for them to be released and charges dropped for this bad arrest.

Yes.. lots of men would quickly run to help if they were hearing the call to help join a fight or beating to a foreigner. Only problem is they would help the person doing the beating or fight against the foreigner. Hehe.. is this not the reason why there is never a one in one fight between a Thai and a foreigner?

They make such a big deal of this scheme.. So if you work or get money elsewhere you are not eligible to collect their measly 600 baht monthly payout. As if the 600 baht they gife really helps anyone and the way they talk it is all the old people need to live on for a month.. what a joke. All the taxes people pay is never used to help those old people.

No airport on mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan.. I live here and never saw more than a handful of tourists. Don't know where they saw hundreds flocking here. It is such a small city. Would have been easy to see so many people.

That would be too easy.. Someone would have to pay for it and the collection of it because vendors would also make use of them.

Am curious why they call this human trafficking? Seems these are not some kids or someone forced to enter Thailand illegally for work.

Thais on social security haha.. they make about 600 baht monthly.. They can not even afford to live in Thailand without some other income. At the very least if they did manage to afford to get to the USA. They could most likely find work to sustain them. They would not need to waste time every 90 days reporting in immigration nor would they need to do any of the other stupid things required to live here. It seems to be that any crime I have been reading in the news lately is being attributed to foreigners retired here. Which I find hard to believe as most foreigners retired here do so without being gangsters.

Wrong, I thought they worked near the end of month to get their criteria before payday? Saw quite a few ummm inspection checkpoints along the way south the other day. But driving on Friday morning I saw nothing to help elevate the congestion caused by minor fender benders. No cops arriving at the scene to get them to move to the side of the road.. however, I saw in other places several just standing around on the side of the road. My normal 5 hour drive turned into an almost 10 hour drive. Hmph.

Flying in airplanes have the stupidest rules for seating though when thinking about it. I flew to china once on Thai airways... The first 20 rows were empty the whole flight. When I asked If I could move to one of those seats.. they refused. So I asked them if those seats were special or different in anyway.. they said no. But I was assigned my seat and had to stay there. Cramped like a sardine in a tin can. I think they just don't want to have to manage all the plane if half it it is empty.. better to keep all passengers in discomfort elbow to elbow and foot to ass-igned seat in front of them.

Even with the work permit and marriage visa and an 80,000 baht income monthly. My wife could not use me to guarantee out house loan or car loan. Their rules regarding foreigner share the same attitude most Thais share being that we are not Thai. If it happened in a 1st world country the bank would be sued for very large amounts. No matter what a foreigner does here. Marries Thai and makes family and their lives here. We foreigners will always be treated as a stranger.

It seems too much the coincidence that as soon as the MOPH approves giving vaccines to kids aged 5 to 11.. There is a sudden increase in covid cases for children here in Thailand. I am not saying they are connected because I do not want to have someone knocking on my door to collect tea money for saying false information... Just saying I noticed this increase in kids cases just after that announcement was made. Can anyone elaborate?

China. Who boasts that 85% of their population is vaccinated fully.. is now facing serious lockdowns of over 13 million in just one city with the lockdowns keeping you indoors in your apartment or home just to combat this new omicron. If their vaccine is not helping their country then why does this Anutin think it will be easier for Thailand?

The police use these checkpoints as a collection booth. They could not possibly find traffic violators driving poorly at a checkpoint. They could not prevent any accidents as well sitting there in one place demanding fines paid on the spot. This is not police enforcement or traffic laws. When will they begin to do real police work? I thought these checkpoints were supposed to be stopped by the government. I guess loss of income to the upper brass made them forget this quickly

Definitely a kiss butt to P reply in this op... Loosened muscles don't help or hurt a virus travelling through the body. And what is this stupid comment about alcohol reducing white blood cells. Has he forgotten that alcohol is being used on everything to prevent spread of covid haha

Almost anyone nowadays that can read know more than the MOPH.. They can read also but seem to have blind spots when seeing something read that doesn't agree with their thinking.
