Ex-culture minister offers to surrender to face corruption charges
Apples did not fall far from the tree in that family. I remember when he first became mayor. He was hyped as a real boy wonder. Those days are long gone for him.

PM to look into extending tourist visas to 90 days
How about your country? Does it allow 180 day visas for people from south and central America??? If so why the border walls and armed patrols?

Srettha is the world’s second tallest leader
Do you have any clue how a parliamentary democracy works? The Prime Minister position was not on the ballot. No party received a majority of the vote. The plurality winner was given the opportunity to form a minority government. It did not succeed so it went to the second largest vote getter who were successful in forming a minority government. A lot of foreigners don't seem to understand that Thailand has a majority conservative population. I wish that wasn't the case but it is.

Citizens Await Digital Money, Hoping to Boost Economy
Outside my few years living in Thailand I have pretty much lived cashless the last 35+ years. Everything paid for by credit union debit card. I was at a sold-out football stadium last nite here in the Great White North and all its concessions are payment by card only. Completely cashless. The yaba dealers will have to scramble to get a piece of the action this way

Do you think his old friend would do that to him? More likely just in your dreams or rather nite-mares

Awaiting arrest, ex-Prime Minister Thaksin returns to Thailand amidst political unrest
There is only one person a deal could be with and that person is in a much higher pay grade than anyone in the Thai military present or past.

Jake Tapper admits ‘Trump was right,’ ‘Biden was wrong’ about Hunter Biden in 2020 presidential debate
Clearly Biden and Trump are both criminals. Lies upon lies by each of them. Zero chance these foreign companies did business with Hunter unless they absolutely knew his old man was good with it. Trump stole secret government documents, was convicted of rape, lead an insurrection and attempted to intimidate governmental officials in a state to change election results. For the sake of that country let's hope they are both incarcerated by the time of the next election. How supporters of either of these men can continue that support in light of what has gone on is truly mind-boggling.

Paetongtarn in Dubai to meet Thaksin
Yes, it is a tough to peg down because so much cannot be reported nor commented on in country. Does Thaksin have an Ace up his sleeve now that he did not have previously? I think he could very well have. The Machiavelli of Thailand, Prem, is no longer around so hard to say what will happen.

Paetongtarn in Dubai to meet Thaksin
I give it as 50\50 he becomes Prime Minister of Thailand by the end of the calendar year. Thaksin would be considered a young man in American politics
