Thaksin Negotiates for Paetongtarn Amid Potential PM Suspension
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
i get the distinct feeling that Thaksin does not know right from wrong....just seems like he thinks he is above the law all the time.Who are these secretive people that can influence the law ? are they dangerous to the stability of the country?do they represent the will of the people or do they have their own agenda ..? Either Thaksin return instructions were not clear or he has flouted them. -
it's up to the national carrier(Thai Air) to show the way on prices ...otherwise the other airlines could theoretically choke off visitors by having high prices ...steer them towards their more profitable routes..??

Advisor Urges Public Not to Criticise PM Paetongtarn for using iPad
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
i think the actual point is : can she debate in public .it is unusual that a person gaining the top job has not already shown their skills in a public forum and that it is not a square peg in a round hole. -
absolutely bloody nightmare : lost my whatsapp, Line accounts....telegram got duplicated. stopped using a uk sim and relied on roaming - worked fine in London . Ibiza not at all .picture the scene ...you arrive at the airport- your roaming doesnt work ( possibly something to do with a computer outage in spain) no problem just pick up a sim at the airport....No sims at airport. pick up hire car- no sat nav book a taxi and i follow him to my hotel... next 4 days spent trying to get a new sim to work - it did for 1 day lol i dont recommend uk sims either- most will tie you into a contract that favours them massively - they will pursue you for charges leveied when you not even in the country or using the sim . This should be illegal. 2 phones 2 sims is the only solution without too many headaches when travelling prebuy roaming - its much cheaper use local post pay sims when not at home

Big Joke Faces Asset Seizure in Online Gambling Case
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
it amazes me how someone rising to the ranks of deputy chief - did not have a better understanding over what is right and what is wrong. Clearly the selection process has been corrupted -
loving all of Guy Ritchies stuff at the moment - The Gentleman (series not movie) is excellent on Netflix Youtube turned up a gem :the Gangster ....starring Jason Statham- who is great in the Beekeeper too Ozark was memorable as i get older i have noticed that i pick stuff more based on the pace of the show, the soundtrack , the photography and scenery... i became aware of this after breaking Bad and Better call Saul - Terry Gilliam stuff ,Guy Ritchie and Tarantino ..... almost the modern equivalent of Ennio Morricone spaghetti westerns...

basically they are moving it from paper service to online service..and from manned immig gates to automatic unmanned gates.. they can speed up the arrival service which is great, and they can cut costs on manned gates.all sounds good to me - until they go wrong.They always go wrong..

This is when the journalists should be getting onto Pongtaen and asking her about this appointment That SHE has approved not her dad.If she can validate it as being her decision based on past experiences with her dad or similar pheu thai advisers then fair enough. However if she has received this advice from her dad to make the appointment - then he is still meddling with politics ..when he has stated that he isnt ..and that should have been a condition of his return and subsequent pardon. If he is found to be involved in politics then i suggest that the pardon could be reversed...either back to jail (hospital ) or back to Dubai..?

Analysis The Shinawatra family continues to face challenges
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Lest we forget - taksin's under the table plan involves bigging up the police - if you have any doubts about his ability to fund a digital wallet or vote buying scheme.this is how he does it.Also,if he wouldn't attend jail or his sister -then guess who's going to have to pay the price....however will they stop Paetontarn from becoming a criminal?Should she be guided by a criminal? on the other hand you'd think they would double their efforts not to get caught again ...so perhaps she is a safe pair of hands ? didnt we think that with Sretta?? -
can you put the cost of the rental car onto the room price - and then just loan out the car for "free".... too many bike accidents where i am . small ev for my villa guests would be a great step forward - in terms of safety . Is Thailand ready for increased levels of safety? or are high prices , rip offs and unsafe vehicles the order of the day.?

Should not the Constitutional Court be dissolving itself...? If they make descions that weaken the monachy (under the guise of protecting it)- then they are also guilty of similar offences...?? And by the way...if anyone needs a history lesson (albeit uk history)...we should remember that people's rights were born from the wrangling of the Dukes on behalf of the people with King John...Was King john weakened? Yes . but it also strengthened the monachy and aligned it with present day thinking.Before the Magna Carta -the king owned everything or the church did.Reform takes place whether we like or not..so clinging to this section 112 as a fall back to protect the monachy is serving who's interests? It's disingenious. Generally speaking if the goal is to protect the monachy- which i think the majority want - if it's aligned with the people's wishes then it will continue and thrive with their support.Critiscism is part of the process in forming consensus.Whoever wrote that into the constitution either did it naively with the best intentions. But never properly considered the future consequences for so many sucessive govt disbandments.What's the econmic,social consequencies of this? It's certainly stifled investment and development.

Mistral - The S07 interior might have the edge on the ev5 ....the exterior the so7 looks like a baby lambo urus, which is gorgeous...the ev5 felt spacious inside and relatively good quality, outside i thought it looked sharp and mean in a good way..more volvo than Lambo though...i know what u mean about plastics..just rented a VW T roc in uk , VW use alot of hard plastics too but - as a brand its grown on me since my golf R 7.5 stage 1 ....if ev's arent the answer for my driving needs (compact 4wd) at around 1.4m THB....i think a VW T roc R...is the answer...but i shudder at even asking the price...so the success of ev's lies in offering better performance at a 1/3 of the price ...for what i'm looking at, for personal transport

also tried the Deepal S07 - great looking car and very comfy...could do with more power. Kia EV5 was a very nice product but i would prefer either Kia ev6 or ev3 awd.. or zeeker

tried a few ev's recently .. looking at the changan lumin for my villa guests ... i have solar panels in my parking area..

Is Anutin Thailand's Prospective Next Prime Minister?
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Purely from the angle of the cannabis and the moto gp circuit , not forgetting his warm and genuine smile- if i had a vote- he would get it. but Sretta aint so bad , i hope he can accomplish what he set out to do with home ownership
