Pheu Thai party wants the House speakership and 14 cabinet seats
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The cabinet is limited to 35 cabinet members and the current number of cabinet members is 19. So PTP wants about three quarters of the current cabinet. That's not justified by the massive electoral vote received by MFP. Maybe 25% or 5 that leaves some cabinet positions for other coalition parties, ie., 1 each. Regarding Speaker, do a one MP vote from each if the MFP coalition parties or agree to an annual rotation. -

Pattaya Police Pledge to be an Organization the Public Can Trust
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Then make the police accountable to their constituents (aka voters) in the city/district in which they serve versus the National Police Commission that falls under the supervision of the PM. The RTC needs to be decentralized (not to say the must be a federal police agency similar to the US FBI where enforcement laws apply natiobally) and funded by the local economies of their respective constituents. Federal funding can be made available to underfunded cities/districts through elected representatives of the Parliament House MP's. But in the present because of a nationalized police force, police policies tend towards one-size-fits-all or in the alternative randomized local policies. Furthermore, ISOC under the RTM needs to be removed (established by PM Prayut) from oversight of local politics to further local civilian accountability. ISOC's political involvement also "smacks" of the old Communist system of Soviet Political Commissars which is inappropriate for a democratic society. -
Income Affidavit Sample...
Srikcir replied to NZAMBOY's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If not from an Embassy that states 65k or more monthly income (no reference as to whether gross or net), then Immigration wants to see twelve monthly DEPOSITS to your Thai bank of minimum 65k baht transferred from your foreign income sources (typically documented with a Credit Advice Report from the Thai bank), which is stated in the law. So in effect the law isn't applied to applicant whose embassy will issue an income letter. -
I'd expect at most a tenth the cost of an elected MP. Senators are unelected and clear majority pro-military agenda supporters. No single Senator can really make any difference currently in the formation of a new government. So a kind of "group discount" might apply.

If Thailand didn't reject asylum to these two groups of victims, they wouldn't have to get trafficked anywhere outside of Thailand. -

Like when they voted for Prayut after the 2019 election? -
36-Year-Old Spanish Man with Interpol Red Notice Arrested at Phuket Airport

If he was in-transit, he likely didn't go through immigration. -
Ah yes, friendly relations with neighbors. Putting aside Thailand's friendly attitude with North Korea (embassy in Bangkok), pandering with China; blissful of unfriendly European Cold War relations with East Germany, Russian invasion of Afganistan/Hungary /Czechoslovakia, China invasion of Vietnam, Vietnam invasion of Cambodia, Sino-Soviet border conflict, etc. Thailan's world diplomacy has been stuck in the mid-1900's and seems to sell out to whatever country gives it favor without regard to democratic ideology. Hopefully, MFP can change that direction, albeit with baby steps until the RTM can be accountable to the Thai people.

Why Pheu Thai’s thinking is democratically wrong
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's like saying your left hand is closer to your right hand than to, say your foot. The comparison is nonsensible. Looking at the last ten years for what has the PTP accomplished in terms of strengthening democracy in Thailand? Two elections reflect little to nothing. At best I view PTP as a conservative right-wing capitalistic party versus MFP as a progressive left-wing proletarian party. -
That was already done back in 2022. "PM says incursion of Myanmar jet into Thai airspace not a big deal. " www.thaipbsworld.com , July 1, 2022 Apparently, the MiG29 jet appeared to be providing air support for Mynamar junta ground troops against Karen rebel (ie., anti-junta) forces and in its ground straffing attack it had to fly into Thailand airspace before it could circle around for another run. No problemo from Prayut. Birds of a feather and all that.

Will be interesting to see how this amendment is done as it requires a signigicant change in the constitution which in turn requires approval from the Senate. But what if the Senate doesn't exist if all are Senators required to retire beforehand? Especially with very little time remaining for the new government to be installed.

LTR Visa on SS from USA - Medical Insurance

From my experience, do not redact any information in what you submit or documents will be rejected. -
LTR Visa on SS from USA - Medical Insurance
Srikcir replied to Faltu's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can use foreign healthcare insurance. Just need endorsement letter from the provider with original signature(s) from appropriate company executive(s) ascertaining your policy duration, overall coverage, in-patient/out-patient coverage, etc. that meets the minimum required for LTR. For any clarifications you can call or email the Thailand Board Of Investment in Bangkok, sponsors of the LTR visa. -

Might Prayut become a Senator (maybe even President of the Senate?) as the current 250 Senator terms will soon expire (after 2023?). Part of the current Senators originated from a selection process that included a junta-appointed committee that chose ultimately 194 members out if the total 250. In addition six positions were given to top military and police leaders. The Constitution makes clear the Senators are not elected. I don't see the military letting go its hold in the Senate after losing cobtrol of the government.
