  1. Then why did Thailand want to become a member of the UN Human Rights Commission whose mission is to ensure that all human rights are respected and upheld, focusing on both civil and political rights, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights? What the UNHRC learned is that Thailand's membership goal was not authentic. That Thailand's position on human rights is compromised by Thailand's political security with China.
  2. Credibility lies with the Thai government. Questioning whether all insurgent groups are being on board with peace talks is a diversion. "After deadly attacks, activists criticize Thai govt for stalled southern peace talks," March 10, 2025 https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/thai/deep-south-violence-ramadan-peace-03102025142055.html NGOs and opposition politicians blamed a spike in violence in Thailand’s Deep South on unclear governmental peace policies and stalled negotiations with rebels the government cannot deny responsibility for not showing clear intentions regarding the peace dialogue process
  3. If only NATO could put troops in Washington D.C. to stop the American monarchy.
  4. For less there are a number of countries where you can get permanent residency and possibly citizenship. Skip the visa nuisance. ttps://www.goldenvisas.com/country?utm_source=GoogleAdwords&utm_medium=PPC&utm_campaign=CampaignTracker&utm_term=Buy property get citizenship&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz6q-BhCfARIsAOezPxnDtyUhHx5wTmXicdHuf7uJRSJsliB1UB7F7fU2AxEyHF2TCv7dZ_EaApYNEALw_wcB
  5. You don't have to be an American citizen to have rights in the US. If they reside legally in the US they have Constitutional Rights to Due Process of Law as well as ALL the Constitutional Amendments. "We the People" is not limited by creed, race, nationality, gender, etc.
  6. Seeing is not believing. Remember the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act in 2022 which came into force on 22 February 2023, criminalized torture, ill-treatment, and enforced disappearance, and the ratification of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED) in 2024? "Thailand: Two years into the adoption of the Anti-Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act, justice for victims and survivors remains unattainable" (my bold emphasis) Feb. 21, 2025 https://www.icj.org/thailand-two-years-into-the-adoption-of-the-anti-torture-and-enforced-disappearance-act-justice-for-victims-and-survivors-remains-unattainable/ As Thailand marks the second anniversary of the adoption of the landmark Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act (the Act) on 22 February 2025, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) calls on the Thai authorities to take immediate measures to ensure its effective enforcement. Add the recent secret deportation by Thailand of dozens of Uyghurs to China and one finds a pattern in Thailand that human dignity is MIA.
  7. Under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA), China can export electric vehicles (EVs) to Thailand duty-free
  8. She should have tried to smuggle an ostrich.
  9. Sorry about half Thailand at about 40 million. But that still presents a challenge to Thailand to even reach trade parity with California alone much less with the whole of the US. Note the following: "Why the US Dollar is Crashing" that demonstrates the increasing volatility of the USD in the international currency market compared to the Thai baht.
  10. This is not possible so long as the value of Thai exports and services to the US exceeds the value of US exports and services to Thailand. There will never be trade parity between the US and Thailand because of the physical and GPD per Capita disparity between the two nations. Fact: the size of Thailand is about the same as Texas. Thailand's population is about the same as California. For trade parity America's cumulative 50 States will always need more imports and services than Thailand. If California were a country it have have the fifth largest economy in the world. There are no economic concessions that Thailand can make to the US to reach trade parity value (albeit too late that Thailand is buying Swedish jet fighters instead of US jet fighters thst could have soften the trade imbalance with the US). Thailand is not a member or partner in BRIC that Trump wants to tariff. Serendipity luck. In all likelihood within the next 2-3 months the USD will devalue in the international market as Trump's import tariffs, factory closures and higher unemployment impact the economy into a recession-like market while the baht remains fairly stable.
  11. He will accept bribes to pursue American interests.
  12. People die from sunstone (aka heatstroke). So live in darkness. People die from ants and peanuts. So live in isolation. With 8+ billion people in the world in 2024, there can never be a zero statistical chance of dying from something.
  13. Calling Doctor ISOC, there's an evolving freedom virus.
  14. 'suggests protective adjustments' so government seems to have solutions.
  15. 3) Stay in Thailand and apply for a 10-year LTR visa. Very limited by conditions so you may not be eligible.
  16. Call it the Transamerican Tunnel and Trump will be all-in.
  17. In other words, the baht is resilient and the BOT interest strategy works. The government has neither weakened NOR strengthened the baht. That is an outcome of a clueless and/or unsustainable economic strategy by the government. What is more likely is the devaluation of the USD by its own government (3 trillion more debt?) while resulting in strengthening of its former allies currencies.
  18. Sounds like a warning from an illegal money lender.
  19. Think of what would be saved by eliminating the Executive Branch and Congress. Run the US like Switzerland.
  20. I like many of the eateries in the large shopping malls.
  21. They did so well (not) with the Patani Malay Muslims to keep (failed) peace but had to have a State of Emergency in place. Will ISOC require a SOE in areas of large foreign populations? So is this an admission that Thai Police are incapable to assure compliance with constitutional laws? ISOC is a military command and not a civilian agency. The elected PM and House ministers have no authority over ISOC.
  22. Not only increase debt but increase inflation. "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests Thailand could benefit from trimming its policy interest rate to boost inflation." https://finimize.com Boosting inflation means even more debt, less buying power and weaker international trade competition. How is that helpful to Thailand?
  23. Alright, women throwing punches as well. Sounds like they know how to scrap.
  24. That likely will require a deposit of 1/2 million or more baht to guarantee coverage in the specialized Bangkok hospital. Might be more cost effective to return him directly to UK.
  25. The baht might weaken some in advance of the Dollar in the short term mostly due to international market "jitters." But the impart of Trump's tariffs in the long term if he doesn't cave on the tariffs in the short term will weaken the Dollar's exchange rate perhaps even more than any weakening of the baht. Figure 2-3 months of US industrial stagnation/closures, higher unemployment, loss of consumer confidence, stock market losses and higher inflation in consumables might tend to strengthen the baht.
