Who's the current PM?

There might also be Thailand natural resources that over the decades have been part of land granted to the military, ie., allegefly for military maneuvers. Such could include embedded timber, coal, minerals, etc. Whose income should belong to the Thai people.

Make that tax-free income. Such income should be deducted from the military's budget by the House.

Thailand's application is likely to fail if only for the fact that the Human Rights Commission of Thailand accreditation was downgraded by the UN Sub-Committee on Accreditation in 2015 due to numerous deficiencies that I believe were caused by the NCPO Junta's re-write of the Thai constitution. Essentially the HRCT lost its autonomy and became subservient to the Junta government. As I recall for example, any report on the status of Thailand's human rights had to be reviewed by the government who had editorial right over HRCT's reports before publication. And nothing has been done legislatively to gain that endorsement. I've not seen in any new proposed constitution drafts or proposed amended laws by the Thavisin regime that would cause the HRCT to achieve independence and neutrality required by the SCA for accreditation. Without such basic changes, Thavisin can cheerlead his intents, hopes and aspirations, but will not succeed without specific legislative actions.

It seems a paradox that the Thailand legislative assemblies that created such laws cannot now amend those laws - legislative actions granted by the constitution. While sovereignty of the nation is held by Thai citizens as stated in every Thai constitution that I've seen, apparently possessing sovereignty is not synonymous with execising it.

Unlike "British" English, American English perhaps reflecting a broad freedom of speech in America's history (who cares about Webster?) was influenced by the trans-Atlantic slave trade bringing into America languages from Africa, wars with Indian aborigines, vast Latino immigrations, Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars, and vast number of Chinese immigrants involved in the Western gold rush, building railroads, mining and agriculture. Of course from the beginning of America was the immigration of European citizens seeking greater personal freedoms and economic gain.

If condoms were handed out, it's likely they were made in Thailand. Thailand’s export of condoms accounts for 44% of the world's market share. Thailand.prd.go.th So what's the point of passing them put on ship?

At first I thought this might be a diplomatic faux pas. Normally meeting between two nations is quid pro quo in terms of leadership: Head of Government meets with Head of Government, Head State meets with Head of State. The Sultan is a Head of State and PM Thavison is Head of Government. That seems inappropriate fir a meeting. But the Sultan is an absolute Monarch which also makes him also Head of Government, so consistent with the meeting in Thailand with Thavison.

Isn't that embedded in Thai culture and tradition? As such a constitution might be unnecessary to that end. A similar case arose with drafting the 2014 Interim Charter wherein some pro-junta Buddhist leadership wanted to make Buddhism the official state religion. As I recall, the junta response was that Buddhism was already deeply embedded in Thai culture and state sponsored that it didn't need the protection of a constitution. And that to me really begs the question of the purpose in general of any constitution (North Korea, Russia, Iran and China have one) and specifically the 34 constitutional monarchies (as of 2023) in the world as to their degree of representing the power of democratic sovereign citizens, if that was ever the intent. Where constitutions define the legal authority of sovereign citizens through their power of elections, legislation and referendums, it stands to follow that the authority of the monarchy would be similarly defined, ie., through elected officials and public approval. There was no such power for example within an absolute monarchy as existed in Thailand prior to the military overthrow in 1932. To summarize, the electorate must have complete understanding, open debate and freedom of speech as to the endorsement of any kind of constitution for it defines their society, rights and future.

That didn't 't happen when the junta NCPO wrote the 2014 Interim Charter after it abolished the 2007 Constitution. Regarding the 2019 draft constitution also written by the junta leadership, it was completed in full prior to the referendum. Because it was illegal to publicly debate the draft, few Thais I believe really understood what the significance and impact the draft would have on their lives. As a result I believe the referendum was mostly directed towards a couple novel changes from previous constitutions such as the election of a PM who was not a member of the House and allowing the unelected Senate (then entirely appointed by the junta) to vote in conjunction with the House for PM. While the referendum accepted all the junta's new version by a majority of votes cast, it was not accepted by the majority of registered voters. As I recall the Election Commission suggested that passing the referendum be based on majority of registered voters by overruled by the junta.

This fleet deployed from San Diego, California in January 2024 for service in the Western Pacific. It appears Thailand was its first break from duty. A fleet commander would be very specific to the ship captains, sailors and officers as to the decorum expected on landing in Thailand for a shore break and the consequences otherwise during the long months back to US.

"probably" is not determinative. That's not a term normally used by US intelligence agencies. When the US intelligence agencies told POTUS Obama of Bin Laden's location in Pakistan, they didn't say "probably" but cited 75% certainty in his location - that's determinative. So it was ordered by Putin but for another specific moment (time and/or date)? So did soviet bureaucracy get ahead of Putin with miscommunication as to when Navalny was to be murdered or that Putin made a last minute decision to delay Navalny's murder and chain of command was late to relay Putin's change?

Nothing revolutionary as the former Islamic Kingdom of Patani has been trying to at least gain a special status with Thailand for the last 100 years.

China - the backyard whining bully. On the one hand China aids Russia with military supplies in Russia's illegal war against Ukraine and crimes against humanity. But China doesn't like to be held accountable. On the other hand, "China tells US to not take sides on South China Sea issue," March 20, 2024 https://www.reuters.com China warns the US from "starting up trouble" or taking sides on the South China Sea issue, specifically siding with the Philippines whose claims to sovereignty to part of the South China Sea were supported by the International Court.* * to which Thailand agreed with China.

"Schoolchildren are converting to Islam 'out of fear' in German schools" I gave this article a laugh for bait-clicking to be kind. "Both parents must consent to the conversion of their children to Islam, before a certificate of conversion to Islam can be issued." https://koochinnam.com "Can a child Really 'Convert' to Islam?" Jan. 5, 2007 https://www.ikim.gov.my A lengthy discussion that bears full read. However, two points: "A child is a child, and naturally has a strong emotional bond with its mother... To separate a child from its mother is indeed a cruel act, and is unjust from the point of view of Islam, let alone to claim that one is doing so in the name of Islam."

Unless you're wearing his sneakers and new perfume, carrying his USA bible, buying his NFT's, you're still nobody.

Also PM Prayut's rubber and rice pledging schemes; his many "gifts" to the low income Thai citizens. Whatever the issue with the digital wallet scheme, it's not populist vs conservist.

You may be facetious but correct. "Venice tests a 5-euro entry fee for day-trippers as the Italian city grapples with overtourism," April 26, 2024, APnews.com It addresses the same over-tourism issue as in Phuket. “We need to find a new balance between the tourists and residents..." “We need to safeguard the spaces of the residents, of course, and we need to discourage the arrival of day-trippers on some particular days.” For day trippers there is a 5-euro ($5.35) entry fee that authorities hope will discourage visitors from arriving on peak days and make the city more livable for its dwindling residents. Difference is that Phuket tourists are largely not day trippers a similar objective applies; so the may be an extension fee.

Does this include the one thousand or so Myanmar soldiers who surrendered along with their general to the rebels in the Tak's Mae Sot district? I doubt it. I would expect the Myanmar junta would like the general's soldiers surrendered to the junta and not leave the country, or leave as refugees to Thailand who might then return them to the junta.

Sorry but the sovereignty of the Thai People does not apparently cover the entire constitution. So what's the point of a referendum for their consent?

No need to politically label people. Even right-wing, nationalistic people have a right to freedom of speech but not to mayhem and property destruction.
