It's that time again for a passport renewal. Everything has changed as expected! Where does one go to get the appropriate passport photos which meet the meticulous criteria needed in Bangkok? There used to be a stand in front of the embassy but that seems to be long gone. Thanks.

google dutch embassy Bangkok and you will get all the information you need!!

It's just a question of how much damage he's allowed to do to the country before the military decides to eject him again. Of course, things have changed since 2006, and the soldiers probably won't find it so easy this time, if you know what I mean. <wink>

Not really!!

So all the hollow noises about fighting corruption in Thailand have come to naught?

That is why they are hollow.

This could just as well be about screen time addiction in general.

Though I make a distinction between watching stuff and social media where you add your own stuff.

Youtube is a mix if you are a commenter on top of watching, which of course I am. 

As said, I am NOT looking for advice on how to cure this addiction. 
So one might ask, what's the point of this topic?

 

Watching in the background now:

 

 

What a nonsense, stop moaning.

Pita should allow  Phu Thai drown in their own mess regarding the voters bribe payment they promised that looks doomed. 

Don't suggest ways to let them off the hook. 

Wrong advice, Pita is supposed to work for the people, not to let Pheu Thai off the hook.

There's not much in this report, but to me, it seems the form fell while being lifted....not while in position. Lifting lug/s on the form may have failed. 

These form have very likely been used dozens of times.....

BANGKOK, Sept 7 (TNA) — Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin announced during his keynote address at the Anti-Corruption Day 2023 to eradicate unethical practices including the buying and selling of state officials’ positions and his government will bring in technology to help us achieve transparency of the public sector.

Speaking at a forum to mark Thailand’s Anti-Corruption Day on Wednesday, Mr Srettha, who is also the Finance Minister, said Thailand is ranked 101 globally in the Corruption Perceptions Index, and fourth in ASEAN. The event was hosted by the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in Bangkok.

 

 

In addition to create direct damage to the public sector, he said, corruption problems also caused distrust among investors which could lead to the economic recession and continuous impact against the GDP growth as well.

The cheapest barbers when I lived in Bangkok averaged 400 or 500 baht.  The majority of the customers were locals.  
Of course it depends what someone defines as expensive or cheap

Cheap is 100 bath, quite a few around Charoennakorn rd.

Most stupid question I have heard off in the last 74 years!!
