The sickest thing about Thaksin is between his ears. Ask the relatives of the 2,500.

So if it wasn't reported and they didn't want it publicized where did Tanakorn Panyadee get the story?

Reading between the lines I would guess Police General Permpoon is looking forward to some grant money to provide equipment for online English lessons in regional schools. I just hope they stick to the language and not the woke nonsense kids are brianwashed with in UK schools these days.

A good point. I do spend as much time criticising both the government and the opposition in the UK, but not on Asean Now of course. The trouble here though is also a matter of 2,500 lives which people seem to have forgotten.

Welcome to the Land Of Smirks. Please pay your entry tax at the kiosk and then proceed to the tax desk to pay duty on all money you have brought into our country. We will check your health care insurance to ensure you are covered for covid, traffic accidents and gunshot wounds. Have a nice holiday.

I will say this again as I always do when wages are the topic: It is time people were paid by the hour in Thailand. Salaries can only demamd what the market will stand for the skills on offer.

(I repeat) A strange comment among several that don't fit the facts since the Thais voted for MFP not PTP, and got PTP thanks to the Senate vote. The Senate was appointed and is controled by the previous government who took power in a coup.

First I have to say all the Weed shops don't look good to Family Tourists and given all the "other" entertainment available quite openly it will not encourage them to holiday in Thailand. For myself i just get tired with the virtue signaling weed heads who go on and on about how much better it is for you and how, unlike alcohol, it doesn't kill people. The sale to adults should be allowed but with a restriction on how much you can buy in any given 30 days. A "weed licence" should be available at a reasonable price from clinics and hospitals with an electronic record of how much credit is left and have the purshaser's ID number or passport number as a means of stopping people having multiple record cards. I am not against dope but I believe it encourages people to try other drugs.

Local reporters get paid by the word. Every repeat is more money if it isn't edited. Algorithms can't tell it is the same sentence written again with different words. Isn't AI wonderful.

This guy's inflated ego will burst one day. Who has a pin I wonder?

HMRC can send the (frozen) State Pension payment overseas but many of us still have bills to pay in the UK so paying them will be a problem and double the exchange charges. I had intended to do 185/6 days and 180 days but with covid and the price of flights now it isn't so attractive. It also means paying for two properties year round. The "proletariat" as they see us, are being squeezed into boxes so they can control us more easily.

On my list to avoid like the plague.

The retail outlets should be more like a herbalist retailer's not fashion boutiques or i-shops. People over 21 should be allowed some small quantities for relaxation and pain relief. Weed retailers are more numerous than convience stores in some areas.

I suggest more effort in research is required as that statement is laughable. The only good idea he had that did not make him money was not financially sound and that was the 30 baht health scheme.

If I remember correctly there is a statute that says roughly: No person who has been convicted of a criminal act shall be deemed acceptable for any government post. Please Buddha, let us not have that man back in direct control in any capacity. Of course there is the matter of K. Prompao's heroin conviction in Australia but Thaksin was convicted in Thailand so there can be no exception.

So, does that mean all money transfers will see a "deduction for tax" on it as the banks collect the money to pass on the the Tax Department?

Joke had some powerful friends in high places in the last administration, but even they had to curtail his ambitions. So, is he yellow or red?

Two amost identical stories that happened in the same place and at the same time. Only two Thais arrested, not a group which is normal, for beating up a drunk with a British passport in Bang Lamung. You don't have to be Columbo to put this together. No 5h1t Sherlock.

A case of same-same different day. This settlement negotiation must have been going on for a couple of weeks while all the jigsaw pieces were put back together after voters spoiled the plan by supporting the wrong party. I bet the families and friends of the victims of the "War On Drugs" will be delighted to get this news. The land of smiles never ceases to stay the same.

Hooray for sub editors that can write a headline. It is so sad they have all retired. Thanks for reminding us all of what a fine job they did.

Yeah, Sir Kier does all his own shopping and lives on a shoestring. Their is a reason for the expression "champagne socialist" and he is a prime example. I think the last Thai PM who wasn't unusually rich was Chuan Leekpai.

I always find it amusing that politicians go on fact finding missions like this. They are simply self promotional visits. I would bet he has no knowladge of what the price of anything was 3, 6, 12 months ago and has no concept of how much a 10, 20 or in some cases 50% increase in supplies means for Mr and Mrs Somchai and their three kids. Maybe he could give some thought to Thais being paid by the hour sometime soon though.

I think it must be subliminal advertising.

Some years ago I had the misfortune to have three sets of tenants in a row that trashed the place and never paid after the first month. I lost the house as I couldn't pay the mortgage. All the tenants were British.
