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 -
my ideal car modified for 2024(would have to be imported new,i suppose) VW T Roc R ....Take it to stage1 or 2. and you would have one helluva car/compact suv/luxury performance.But the price is likely to be prohibitive when comparing it to the forthcoming Zeekr X,Volvo EX 30.Neither are partcularly "beautiful".Nor is a toyota yaris GR...Deepal s06 is a beauty but too slow(hence would be a great remap project)....have i missed anything?

Khao San Road in a Frenzy as Authorities Crack Down on Laughing Gas
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
as soon as it reappears - let's report it to the police station and take photos for the bangkok post.Any inaction by the police would suggest that they are on the payroll.And therefore shouldl face dismissal. That is about the only way to handle it...we need to demand better policing -
Thailand Faces Economic Question: China and EV Cars
DTL2014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
it must be hard trying to figure out why 300 % tax on cars is negatively affecting the economy. I would like to introduce mini EV's to my villa guests ,for safety reasons.all the poor fisherman who have taken up taxi driving- keep mowing down the tourists when they are not selling drugs.But the thai govt double the price of EV's so instead of being a manageable $5k...it is now $12k.And this is to protect the economy not the tourist???? i think thailand has its priorities all wrong.we have sunshine - we have access to cheap solar panels ....but you subsidise diesel? -
Luxury Porsche worth over 10 million baht catches fire in Bangkok

i thought foam was the appropriate extinguisher for electrical fires? can we assume the fire services know the correct procedures for how to deal with an EV fire?
