  1. Thai Airways fleet includes Airbus A320s, A330s, A350s, Boeing 777s (various models), and Boeing 787s.
  2. "Harvard sues Trump administration over efforts to ‘gain control of academic decision-making’," https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/21/harvard-sues-trump-administration The resistance grows: "Multiple Colleges Join Harvard in Fight Against Trump Admin" https://www.newsweek.com/multiple-colleges-harvard-fight-trump-admin-2059807 "A group of U.S. universities sued the Department of Energy on Monday over cuts to federal research funding, joining Harvard University in fighting President Donald Trump's administration."
  3. I don't remember the source but heard that once 'Thailand' is entered as country of residence, all required information following can be skipped. Pending an update to the TDAC form official rollout.
  4. Vietnam faces a 46% tariff by Trump. It's reaction: "Vietnamese exporters reinvent solutions on US’s 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs" https://vietnamnews.vn/economy/1716234/vietnamese-exporters-reinvent-solutions-on-us-s-90-day-pause-on-reciprocal-tariffs.html Vietnamese businesses are taking advantage of this opportunity to implement both short-term and long-term solutions to minimize potential negative impacts. Exploring new markets with growth potential such as India, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Europe. Businesses are working with partners to increase shipments during the 90-day tariff delay period to avoid inventory buildup and higher tariffs if negotiations fail. Meanwhile Trump gets drawn in by Vietnam (Chess vs Checkers). “Trump Organization” moves forward with billion-dollar investment in Vietnam, entering golf course-hotel-real estate business. March 28, 2025, https://en.moneyandbanking.co.th/2025/163526/ Maybe Thailand can learn from Vietnam. Offer Trump real estate and license to build a casino complex. Within a year given Trump's past history with casinos, it will fail and default to Thailand.
  5. Buddhism? "Buddhism and violence" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence
  6. Yes as these drivers seem traditionally to use the roadside to relieve themselves.
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_egg_sizes
  8. I'd be surprised that he has a Thai passport that can be legally confiscated as property of the Kingdom of Thailand. A Chinese passport would be the property of China and theoretically can only be seized by China. But Thai immigration can follow their own ideas of what is internationally legal.
  9. Do your research. Wikipedia alone covers a substantial amount of history related to the history of the Kingdom of Patani. The decades Malay Muslim insurrection was due in part to a reaction to the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand) breaking its peace treaty with the sovereign nation of the Muslim Kingdom of Patani, forcing the annexation of Patani into the Thai Buddhist Kingdom and suppressing its language, religion, customs, traditions, etc. as second class citizens.
  10. No mention of meeting with the insurgent Malay Muslim organizations and to resolve a place plan. That's like going into a boxing ring having one fighter resolve peace with the referee. The other fighter is not invited into the ring.
  11. More of a "magic" plan than a master plan.
  12. Canadian Dollar wherein Canada will export its oil & gas anywhere now except to the US?
  13. BOI office (same floor as Immigration) - Chumchuri square18th Floor 254 Phaya Thai Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 Conveniently located near Samyan MRT station LTR Visa has a dedicated window in Immigration. Phone: 02 209 1100
  14. No different than some of J6 who POTUS pardoned.
  15. Police speculating without any thread of truth or fact. They never seem able to take a neutral position before beginning any investigation. Kind of a form of self-promotion.
  16. Started in earnest in 2013 with PM Yingluck but went proverbially "dead" with the Thai military's overthrow of the Yingluck government in May 2014.
  17. Go ahead and debate by the House. But ... Orders issued by the Head of the NCPO were under Section 44 of the interim Constitution. https://www.ilaw.or.th/articles/16556 Thus, the orders were Constitutional. So it would seem that if the House passes a bill to cancel/amend NCPO issued Orders, it will require review/approval by the Senate majority as a change to the Constitution. I believe the "new" Senate is still in control of the military as created originally by NCPO.
  18. https://www.tripadvisor.com/FAQ_Answers-g147313-d147782-t9633187-Are_you_allowed_to_have_sex_on_the_beach_there.html The Sexual Offences Act 2003 does not specifically state that sex on the beach is illegal. https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22012575/sex-on-beach-laws/
  19. He could have tucked the package under his tongue or split it in half and tucked it into both ear canals. Not very likely immigration would look into these places.
  20. Identified by the Thai Department of Revenue as a resident, pay Thai income tax but no 20 baht discount for you.
  21. This ruling, Nestlé notes, could have significant implications for small businesses, including local coffee shops and suppliers, as well as dairy and coffee farmers who face disruptions in their supply chain. So destroy Thai businesses. Not an issue?
  22. I view spoken American English as a free-for-all having no real limits of what can be included or distorted. It's a consequence of extreme freedom of speech. You'll find adoptions of foreign words in English, commonly from the community of the Romance languages (Latin, Spanish, French) and "street lingo." Certainly written English is more formalized for exactness and compliance for formal publication or presentations. Hasta con vista.
