Not impossible but actually high possibility judging from people sentiments on suitable prime minister candidate. She has been featured quite prominently in poll garnering close second to K Pita of MFP and not far from Prayut who is sinking like a rock in popularity each day. Even K Sudarat was a distant 4th favourite and the rest of the field for possibly prime minister like Anutin (BJP) and Jurin (DP) were almost non existence. K Pita will have a problem getting the rural support away from Ing. Those yellow shirts have lost their cause and a spent force. It's her to take unless the military snatched democracy out of the grips of the people again.

Actually the progressive movement didn't even need to try as there is an existing Act called Determining Plans & Process of Decentralization ACT B.E. 2542 (1999) and there were much progress and changes made in local offices. The movement is just too polite to highlight that the coups after 1999 made this ACT redundant by weakening local adminstration bodies. The coup government exert their control (centralisation) by changing the size of the local government bodies and controlling their budget.

Every owner will vouch that their Rottweiler and other aggressive dogs are well trained and good nature until incident like this happened. There must be good reasons why certain countries banned entry of these aggressive dogs and those already in the country have very strict rules on keeping them like need to be on the lead and muzzled. Thailand must review those laws on keeping such kind of dogs as incidents like this has been re-occurring too often and little legal recourse for the victims.

I will go easy with the fish/meat balls and also noddles. Borax as a food additive is often added or soaked to make the meatballs and noddles crunchy. Too much borax is harmful epecially to children and pregnant ladies.

In Thailand, businesses feel economic shock of Ukraine war
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Gone are those happy days of 'just in time' stock management. Now I have to manage stock based on 'just in case''. Forget about having stock in the right place at the right time. Supply disruptions, price increases and shipping turmoil have rendered managing stock and ability to pass costs a nightmare for businesses. No one really know how long this economic shock will last. Some said 7-10 days of denying Russia any sort of victory will force Putin to negotiate. I will stay hopeful. -
The punishing sanctions by the united western allies and some in Asia Pacific on Russia will no doubt affected global economy. Short of direct military conflict with Russia amid its muderous invasion of Ukraine, sanctions are the best options. I am sure Russia expected the measures but they didn't anticipate so much sanctions taken so swiftly. Even historically neutral countries like Switzerland , Finland and even Singapore have join sanctions efforts. These sanctions will cripple Russia for years and will deeply affect the regular folks and create unrests and trouble for Putin ????.

Doctors Say 20 Million Thais Afflicted by Metabolic Syndrome
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I will say that it’s also linked to increase alcohol consumption in Thailand. Alcohol can cause weight gain. Stop your body burning fat, high in kilojoules, make you feel hungry and lead to poor food choice. -
At the UN, Thailand votes to condemn Russia’s aggression in Ukraine
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Probably following the lead of majority of ASEAN countries including Mynmar. Thailand holds the chair and will be odd if Thailand don't vote in unison with other members. Only Vietnam and Laos abstain. -
Former Thai PM Yingluck to be charged over transfer of NSC chief
Eric Loh replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Her son should be around 18-19 years old now. Most probably living & studying in UK with her mum who was rumoured granted asylum status. Her husband Anusa left his high profile job with CP and I guess staying in UK too. -

Former Thai PM Yingluck to be charged over transfer of NSC chief
Eric Loh replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The OAG and NACC got together to indict Yingluck after she went live on facebook asking a one-on-one discussion with Prayut. Off course Prayut went off the rail and OAG and NACC decided to bend backwards to please their overlord. https://www.thaienquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Thai-Enquirer-Summary-March-1-2022.pdf -

Are we now feeling the effects of Ukraine's situation in Asia?
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Asia will feel the effects of the Ukraine situation from slow down in economic growth in the European Union countries through higher energy prices and lower business confidence and to some extent trade. European Union countries are major trading partners for many Asian countries. The higher energy prices will also directly impact Asia economies and on commodities. Asia governments will have to be ready with fiscal policies to meet those challenges on top of the Omicron surge and US impending rate hike. -
Thailand reports 21,232 new COVID-19 cases, 39 deaths, 16,662 recoveries
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The region not spared with record high. Singapore 26,032, Malaysia 27,182, Indonesia 55,441 and Vietnam 45,491 infections (CNA). The only silver lining is that Omicron variant is 75% less likely to kill than Delta strain according to South Korea's health authority. I echo your call for folks to be safe and vaccinated.
