Same purchase freedom in the USA unless it can be proven in court that funds used came from illegal sources., ie. money laundering. With current sanctions on Russia, scrutiny of real estate purchases in the US by Russian oligarchs is likely. But otherwise no seller can discriminate according to nationality.

Feb, 2, 2023 Bangkok ranked third in the world (AQI 198) for poor air quality behind Pakistan and India. So pick your ranking parameters carefully.

Legality of CCTV pointing at your house - it wouldn't be illegal for use in the "public domain" anymore than an individual could view with their own eyes. Should anyone walking by your house shield their eyes from your publically exposed property? If you want ordinary protection from public viewing, then you need acreage, blocking landscaping, etc. Then there is the issue of public viewing from overhead, ie., drone cameras. You might have an illegal use argument if shown CCTV use was intended for an illegal use, ie., plan a robbery, assault, injury, etc. But the "bar" for proof of such illegal use will be high, ie., personal opinion or speculation is not proof.

Abstention is the usual cop-out for fence sitters. China's current foreign policy has been soft political influence through economic partnerships (ie., Silk Road Initiative) including foreign loans. It's last war was Vietnam in 1979. Xi clearly and consistently does not condone Putin's empire-building through war.

Ban any Thai military officer with rank of colonel and above for life or minimum 10 years after retirement from national office. Require same for cabinet position Minister of Defense and Chairman of the National Riyal Thai Police Commission. The military should serve the People, not the reverse.

Thailand votes for peace where a portion of a sovereign nation has been occupied by a neighbor since 2014? Look at thy self Thailand in seeking Peace as an unrepentant aggressor of similar circumstance. Your UN vote for peace is hypocrisy.

Chatuchak is also served by Chatuchak Park Station MRT, no need to use an auto.

I guess Damrongsak can make all the promises he wants. But his mandatory retirement is September 2024. As the outgoing Chief Jongyodsuk is due to retire on September 30, 2023, it would seem that Damrongsak's service as Chief begins October 2023 to run only one year? I don't think that's time enough to oversee massive corruption investigations. So Wash, Rinse and Recycle? Note that the RTP Chief is approved by the Police Commission and RTP board with PM Prayut as Chairman?

As I recall it has been a main criticism of the Thai governments (aside from the Yingluck government) that it couldn't properly negotiate peace because BRN didn't represent all the insurgent factions. That seemed in effect a convenient excuse as no Thai military-backed government would agree (the Yingluck regime being the exception) to any kind of autonomy for the former Muslim Kingdom of Patani. The government's negotiating policy it seems has been that the Kingdom of Thailand's sovereignty over the indigenous Malay Muslims would be lost. Such would amount to a bloodless defeat of the Kingdom of Thailand that is contrary to Thai history (well, aside from Thailand's quasi-alliance with Japan in WW2).

If Russians are fleeing their "homeland" in Crimea, good idea as Putin wants Russian citizens to remain in Crimea as human shields to slow Ukraine's military advance because Ukraine will not deliberately target civilians. But going back to mainland Russia is not a great alternative for a secure economic lifestyle. Choosing Thailand as long as they can afford living here is good for Thai businesses and government taxes. Make sure to have good healthcare insurance coverage.

Prayut "clipped his wings." What change happened to let Joke loose? New election?

Check Cha am as an alternative to Hua Hin. Largely Thai and priced cheaper than tourist places. Long, clean beaches and inexpensive eateries.

Prayut doesn't have to win a majority in the House, just prevent the opposition collation from getting 51%. Then the Senate can add to his vote to put him to 51% or over. "System rigged."

FFO - foreign flying objects Everything is their fault.

How many people have lost their lives riding in a song taew ? Rare to lose one over a long period. Yet police make it a new priority to limit passengers to sitting only on the two benches. But these van owners likely much more wealthy than song they owners, must have some special influence to escape safety rules.

In 2017 passengers will no longer be allowed to ride in the back of pickup trucks. Did that work? Was it enforced? But it seems as soon as it was announced, it was amended to allow up to six people to sit in the pickup bed. Then five years later Thai Police considered a "sub-law" for limiting number of passengers to three to be sitting IN THE BACKSEATS of a pickup. Again no mention of statistical support. Just officials seemingly trying to gain attention with "ideas."

Maybe the ski's were carry on personal items because they won't fit in the overhead

Why not the reverse. A train bridge over the highway. If such bridges can cross deep valleys (ie., the Chenab Bridge in India), surely it's doable crossing roadways at ground level. But something like that takes innovation and imagination. Not Thailand's strongest suit.

Haven't check the new Constitution but the previous 2007 Constitution required the EC to prepare an election within 60 days of dissolution of the House. Seeing as the EC serves all year, March or April is likely for elections.

Come on! No one told Prayut that there were such a thing as Chinese businessmen in Thailand. Obviously, they work in China.

Carefull - This project might impact the Thai Royal Rainmaking Air Force budget. Space begins at ground level!

Efficiency and amount of corruption in the military is not one of the score factors in the ranking. So no mistake, just relaying published rankings. As can be seen with Russia's ranking compared to its current war with Ukraine, Ukraine's smaller military appears to be (with exception of nuclear weapons) far superior to Russia.
