The extra activity is "Operation Cope Tiger" a joint exercise between Thailand, Singapore and the U.S.
Been going on for years.
There is another later in the year usually also which is called "Operation Thai Boomerang" with Thai, Aussie and Kiwi air forces.

Well done to both doctors, kudos.

Time to start looking in the mirror Thailand.

 

Of course the US, UK, Europe, Australia etc. has no cases like these!
They are perfect countries with perfect people...who always leave, come here and denigrate their host country whereas we not so perfect people accept this as part of life in ALL countries

Having taught in government schools here....I would say they probably spent just as much time online during school hours pre-Covidn closures.

As a teacher here for over 12 years, I don't have a problem with phones in the class. It's called "classroom management".  The students know if they take out their phone, it will be taken from them and remain on my desk until the end of class.
As for other teachers discipline... that's a different story

So he's just a real monk copying exactly what the two who were extremely popular on FB did before they were defrocked....who does that make him the "first"? First to copy someone else's model?

Congratulations to bride and groom not only on the marriage but also for following the rules and being responsible

In more civilised countries one can have it automatically deducted from a bank account. Can this be arranged in Thailand or is it too advanced/ too much to ask?

If Thailand isn't civilized enough for you maybe you should remove yourself.

However, in answer to your question, just use your phone banking app to pay you utilities. They all have this option, then your trips to 7-11 among the "uncivilized" can be used purely to buy cheap booze with which to fuel your disdain of the country hosting you.

Nice to see this appreciation of the people lower down the social ladder. Congrats to all concerned

Sad comment by an obviously sad individual.
What, you've never heard of hard working people?

Great to see even when there's a positive or even neutral post, forum members feel the need to denigrate Thailand.
Such sad individuals

Anyone surprised ? Being prepared is not on this Government's agenda. Unless it comes to buying watches, not ordering quality vaccines, unreasonable lock downs, prohibiting peaceful protests, overfilling prisons ...

This government wasn't in power 17 years ago was it?
What about the governments before it with massive corruption?

There was a similar case in 2016

Engine failure in a helicopter results in you doing an autorotation to landing.

Having been in a helicopter in which the gearbox seized and caught fire, autorotaion is NOT an option, thankfully all 20 of us walked away

Normal, Thai people are used not to follow the rules, look on the roads how they behave and by wearing helmets. Same for restaurants, and bars.. as long as the RTP does not check or heavily fine nothing will change.. teamoney always do it better. People have to learn that rules and laws are not only pieces of paper, but that there a real consequences if break them.

Not only Thai people, many others also

Pedants mocking a man's murder report yet again. Yes the reporting was sub-standard but why can't you simply pass on the subject if the reporting isn't to your taste, or offer condolences?
So many (I'll delete it myself) on this forum.
Respects to the deceased and family who are affected by his death.

This has been a trend among diesel truck fans. I imagine they got it from America. There it's called "rolling coal". They modify the trucks to produce more smoke, then even go as far as putting an upward exhaust pipe that looks like a smokestack. CHOO-CHOO!

Yeah, i've seen the videos as well as daily experience here with the losers that drive these thing..."Look at me, look at me I make big smoke!" Morons here and other nations.
