Thai police to prevent corruption?

The only way US manufacturing will return to the USA is if the minimum wage goes down to a few dollars an hour; and even then companies will find it near impossible to recruit workers. Trump is trapped in a world of his own ignorance and stupidity.

The sooner Taksin leaves Thailand forever the better the nation will be.

I remember back in the 1960s (and maybe back to the 1950s) until the mid-late 1970s, Thais were banned from travelling to China (Thai passports listed China as an invalid country, for memory). But still, after Chairman Mao's successful victory in 1949, a wealthy Chinese-Thai family were the first overseas/foreign group to open a business in the People's Republic of China (they still have extensive business interests there). In about 1976-77, a Chinese-Thai friend at university in Australia explained to me the simple procedure by which her China-born (with Thai citizenship) father was able to frequently travel into China, via Hong Kong, using his Thai passport (even though Thailand considered such travel illegal). Today, it seems that China is happy to export its workers and criminals to Thailand, and other countries, even if they enter or remain in Thailand illegally. How many hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers and criminals are now illegally in Thailand? While the Thai authorities go into aggressive overdrive about a few square kilometres of land along the Thai-Cambodia boarder, only token effort is expended to remove the illegal Chinese in Thailand. Maybe the "kickbacks" received by government officials are too generous. So Photoguy21's post seems valid.

Time for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop playing around - invade and attack all Israel's neighbours now, and it this miserable war.

Each year I have submitted my Australian pension fund's annual update letter on my revised pension amount to Hua Hin Immigration for the purpose of visa extension and have had no problems, so far.

Excuse my global ignorance - but what is SSA and what is the SSA letter from which country?

Of course, the propaganda sorry fake news Thai government sites will not be impacted, one imagines.

Why limit the action to Latin America, why not include Asia?

About time.

Pattaya will never improve its tainted image unless it seriously addresses its criminal and scam problems; which it cannot do due to the "position" of the "influential" people who control, oversee and run these "operations".

And also, the extreme ultra conservative nationalists on both sides fanning the flames of conflict. While at times the Thai establishment is happy to acknowledge the influence of ancient Khmer culture on old Siam, they often are reluctant to acknowledge that most of eastern Thailand was once part of the ancient Khmer and Champassak empires.

Thailand is safe for tourists? These seemingly random attacks on tourists/foreigners in Thailand appear to be increasing in frequency, or is it that they are now being reported, whereas they were not before?

How about in cyber space?

Seems like another scapegoat.

Surprised, not. TIT. Hub of criminal activity. Even family, friends and neighbours are not safe from Thailand's criminal culture.

Thai military credibility takes another hit.

Oh dear. No more corruption then?

How could Thailand's great close dearest big brother, China, supply military drones to Cambodia? Does China love Cambodia more than Thailand?

Is there no security at the school? The girls were spotted on the school's security camera; was no one monitoring the camera(s)?

Karma.

Try Dr Nicha at MedPark Hospital in Bangkok, she is US-trained and excellent.

Omron is a great brand; found them at Fascino and even Lotus's in Hua Hin.

Surprised, why? Musk's DOGE removed hundreds of thousands of government employees from their jobs. Trump's tariffs have made produce more expensive, thus creating unemployment; some US companies moving operations offshore, thus creating more domestic unemployment. What does one expect from the Trump regime, which cannot comprehend even high school economics?

Thai defamation laws - where telling the truth and warning the public is a crime.
