The MF party was not wise enough to leave article 112 alone until they were firmly in power.

  One would think that an educated bunch of people would just focus on getting themselves elected

and approved by all the powerful people of Thailand, then maybe get a few things changed. Sadly

the younger Thais do not have patience these days. IMO

Thailand the wild wild East.

  Yup.

Use the millions of pounds of plastic waste and make a pontoon that won't sink.

Problem solved.

I am sentimental and still like the sound of The Kingdom of Thailand.  I am getting too old to think that

Thailand will be much different anytime soon.  Asian politics is way beyond me.

Cheers.

I doubt that there is a single country in the world that

has the charging stations needed for EVs to be practical to own.

  Many countries do not have the capacity in their electrical grids 

either. On some hot days California pleads for EV owners not to charge during peak use hours.

  I have to wonder how many years it will take most countries to get their capacity up to

what they will need for all these new EVs?  More Nuke power stations are needed. IMO

El Nino is affecting a lot of the world, and it is not man made.

I bet the climate alarmists  are upset about that fact.

Climate change is happening, and I think the Earth is warming itself

up.

My opinion and I am sticking with it.

Just remember that you are in Thailand, a tropical place where Canadians want to go to escape the cold of Winter.

  You could be in the Ukraine dodging Russian bullets. Just think positive thoughts, and lay off the booze.

My opinion, from Canada.

I wonder what company was building this overpass?  The investigation will have to be a good one, as this kind of thing should not happen

in this day and age. IMO

Just wondering how the military coups kept happening. Then I remembered who is the top

positions of the military. Never mind, just musing I guess. Since I became a senior I muse a lot.

Another politician who does not have the brains to retire on his own. Sadly Prawit

is not alone, but it is sad to watch old geezers try to stay in power.

Cash is King. People who trust digital currency, or crypto currency, are foolish.

IMO

Americans and their guns. The NRA has so much blood on their hands.

  The USA, number one, for gun deaths. That is my take on the subject. 

I doubt that Prawit can stay awake, long enough to get this PM position.

There is a time when the old people should just fully retire, Prawit is included in this category.

IMO

My bet is that no one else will trust using carbon fibre for another mini sub like the Titan was.

I am hopeful that there is a bit more intelligence in the world.

Hey Tim, I used to say Mary Jane for the big M word, back in the 70s, as it was accepted as

meaning the merry weed.

I see a few woke posters on this article. If climate change is caused by the el nino, that is occurring this year, okay.

Global warming may also be the cause, or just maybe it is plankton season again. So will the soi dogs eat

those dead fish? Just wondering.

No sympathy for this woman, she should face the guillotine, then if anyone need some body parts

they are not damaged as an injection would for sure ruin the chance to use them.

I wished more countries would still have the death penalty. Canada needs to bring it back as well.

I am glad that I do not have shares in Ocean Gate company. This mini sub did not get certified

and should not have been allowed to have any passengers. The carbon fiber main section would

likely been a sticking point for certification. Most subs and mini subs are steel or titanium structures

to keep intact. The CEO risked not only his life, but 4 other people made the fatal decision to 

pay a lot of money to get into this sub and go so far below the surface of the ocean. 

  RIP to them all.

It sounds like they died quickly. If they were very deep there will not be anything of them to recover.

  The end parts could be recovered, but for what purpose? Most of the certified mini subs were

certified and people were not bolted in. With multiple dives it would seem that the pressure hull

did not take the extreme pressure. My 2 cents worth.

Well at least 4 of the 5 on board were very rich people. Either it got caught up on something, or had

a pressure failure, it should have been able to re surface. The news I heard on TV said the ballast could 

be jettisoned to let the vehicle resurface. I guess we will know more in the next few days as the news media

get more pictures of this submersible and how it operates. It does look like there would be a pilot on board

to operate the vessel. The big worry is that it got snagged, or had a mechanical failure.

Message for TAT It is low season, wake up, quit being greedy.

  Thailand always has low season this time of year.  I just hope the air fares drop a bit for high season in October to April.

Where I stay, the guest house rates are still pretty good.

I wonder who this guy's idol is, the Donald?  Happy to see the girls wise choice.

Tim, I am with you in being confused as to why Canada needs to be an ASEAN partner.

Justin Trudeau, the PM loves to travel abroad on the Canadian tax dollars, he is almost as bad as

Trump in liking his photo ops.
