Well to be honest, while working a protective detail for a now former Senator, we traveled to over 15 places in 20 days, and I could not remember where the next to last place had been. Biden is not the first or last person to loose track of where he/she has been in a short period of time when many locales are visited.

We do seem to learn from our mistakes, some more quickly than others.

Changed to remove historical stories because of new found evidence and then to remove from history the illicit deeds like slavery and so on. To change history to meet a political agenda is wrong on so many levels. Learning from history is how we change things moving forward. Burying the unwanted history just allows for it to resurface in another guise.

As far as I can see, unless you have a Work Permit or or are on a Diplomatic passport for your country and meet those exceptions being a foreign resident is not what a LTR Visa gives us as we are not considered to be a foreign resident. To be a foreign resident in Thailand you need to have applied for Permanent Residency through the Thai Permanent Residency program attained through the Royal Thai Immigration Commission. https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/permanent-residence-thailand

With all of the reported information over the last several days of declining tourism, high flight costs, etcetera, I find the numbers they are predicting to be a wish and a hope, but then maybe the new start-up airlines will ferry millions into the country.

The possibility that this row had been going on for some time seems possible. May the decedent RIP and the suspect be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. From the link in the OP it appears there is more to the story. "Pheeran explained that Narathip blamed him for staring at him while he was walking to the bathroom, and he got angry and dared him to fight even though he did not have a weapon with him at that time. According to Pheeran, Narathip threatened to shoot him. He allegedly said… “My gun bullets do not have any eyes. They might accidentally go to you"

Can you supply some proof and links of your statements that the Russian collusion disinformation campaign was led by the left. .state.gov/briefings-foreign-press-centers/russian-disinformation First, these disinformation efforts are not individuals expressing free speech or personal opinion. These actions are a concerted effort directed by the Russian Government, using Russian Government resources, to intentionally target and destabilize neighboring countries. These are not just public statements from Russia’s MFA account, the press or cultural attachés working at embassies or through official public accounts, although they also frequently are purveyors of similar tropes. These are broader campaigns, using shell companies, false names, and layers to conceal the real backers and their intentions. And this is part of a larger campaign to orchestrate a scenario that offers an excuse for Russian Government behavior and to create a pretext for Russia to further invade Ukraine.

So your saying crimes like this do not happen elsewhere?

If they have to truck the water in because of there not being enough then that would explain why a hike is needed. Yet according to the article they are stating they need to increase it because of: Manit stated that the MWA has endured the burden of raw water costs for tap water production, which currently stands at 1 billion baht. Additionally, energy prices and other expenses have risen in recent years. He stressed that the new price structures are essential for covering these heightened costs. If the prices remain untouched, the MWA will find itself unable to generate revenue for the state by 2027,” he said.

Hey, it could have been covered up with a stylish cover and a bedside table lamp on top, I mean it is next to the bed. Dual purpose served.

Could be many things, but in the end the person has been dead for awhile. A forensic review of the skeleton/remains should give an answer to possible cause of death.

This clipped from the linked article is also interesting. So it appears there is confusion about his arrest location. On top of that the on duty police sergeant is stating he went out for lunch and brought back food for Mr. Winder There are contradictory statements as to where the Aussie was arrested with other reports suggesting that he was picked up by police at where he was staying which was also located on the Bang La road. The arrest occurred early on Sunday morning. After midday on Monday, the on-duty police sergeant left for lunch and later brought back something to eat for Mr Winder. He discovered the Australian hanged with his shirt tied to an iron bar in the cell where he was being held.

As my CCTV records here at the family abode, the footage is uploaded to the cloud storage I have. Most folks do not know that they can set this up as well. So Regardless if the server is stolen, the footage remains. Will be interesting to find out this family did just that and they have videos of the perpetrators. Most do not have inside cameras either, just the ones outside.....motion detection inside cameras are needed for full home security in my book. I don't have them in every room, just the main rooms people would need to walk through. One wonders if they had these as well.

And Prayut and his cronies are not criminals in your book. All politicians are corrupt in this country. Prayut gave himself immunity, now why would he do that? Dissolution of parties is reckless in my book, and only certain politicians, who are proven corrupt, should truly be banned. Just look at the ones from the PPRP that have already been removed by the courts.

Here seems to be more reasoning why he was let go Fox Reportedly Made ‘Startling Discovery’ About Tucker Carlson’s Private Messages Day Before Dominion Trial (msn.com) According to a report published by the New York Times on Wednesday, private messages sent by Tucker Carlson were worse than anything that had been previously disclosed in unsealed filings by Dominion. “Private messages sent by Mr. Carlson that had been redacted in legal filings showed him making highly offensive and crude remarks that went beyond the inflammatory, often racist comments of his prime-time show and anything disclosed in the lead-up to the trial,” the Times stated.

Reading in between the lines this is more about Anutins Bhumjaithai party being dissolved as they are already in the crosshairs of several lawsuits being filed to dissolve them https://thainewsroom.com/2022/10/18/anutin-shrugs-off-party-dissolution-bid-over-free-marijuana-campaign/

You do understand many will see this as coverage. Some travel here, like a few friends did recently by using there Amex card to buy the airline tickets and the card provides for medical insurance as well. Some do not look further, so as you say they are naive, many think they are doing the right thing.

Have you looked at the actual policy TAT is proposing? Sure looks like it's meant to provide medical insurance for tourists to me.

Reading the OP and the fact they took the CCTV Server and destroyed the safe in 4 hours tells me that whomever broke in knew what was in the house and had planned this event.

We can only hope that his enthusiasm and statements are correct. I know that as someone who lives here in PKK, using the airport would be done to travel by air instead of driving, this saving us time.
