If by "English you mean "British" okay that seems low. But I'm sure Americans would be close to zero.

Depends on your time and finances. But consider ocean cruises from Thailand. For example: Oceania Cruises Viking Ocean There is also a waterway cruise: Avalon Waterways

More freedom? Recall Thailand's Computer Act that had been created by a pro-military Parliament and used by the Prayut government to "unduly restrict freedom of expression." www.icj.org The Government can also bring criminal defamation against social media posters for anything that might damage the reputation of Thailand. There are no published guidelines for what constitutes "damage" or " reputation." Thailand's ranking in the 2022 Freedom on the Net score was 39 out of 100 (100being most free and 0 being least free): Obstacles to Access 16/25 Limits on Content 14/35 Violations of User Rights 9/40 39/100 www.freedomhouse.org

To the contrary, many Thai economists have for the last 4 years or so try to convince PM Prayut that Thailand to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). But Prayut has resisted. China cannot be a party to TPP. TPP prohibits explotive forced labor, human trafficking, rights to collective bargaining, prohibits employment discrimination. Not conditions that Prayut can politically tolerate?

The other side of "reality" and

I agree to use of proper mesh thickness and subsurface compaction, ie., 110%. Depending on the total surface area, grooves should be made in the surface to assist in minimizing any crack propagation caused by expansion and contraction of the concrete to prevent an uneven surface and minimize area to be repaired.

'No reason for the dropouts.' No reason for this story either.

Artid might consider a second legal opinion before appealing. Courts uphold the law in general and in Thailand not bound by precedent. Unless the subject law was passed in violation of legislative process or otherwise ruled unconstitutional, the court will uphold the subject law, Artid's fine and suspended sentence will be upheld. But maybe Artid might consider the fine as the cost for national advertising for his Facebook site?

Instead of watching for measles, what about vaccinating against measles?

Critically not mentioned is specifically the number of covid-19 inpatients ill or dead who were not vaccinated. Saying there are 2 million unvaccinated seniors in Thailand doesn't add much creditability of the byline.

"developing policies for the next ten years" Except where they run contrary to the Prayut NCPO's constitutional 20 year national strategy. This provision needs to be annulled, albeit through a constitutional amendment ... good luck with that. So there can only be hope of change but the current reality is government policy making opportunities are limited if nonexistent. Ask candidate Prayut if he supports amending or annulling the NCPO 20 year national strategy. I don't think his answer will reflect supporting progressive policy making that is needed for a more democratized government. The Deep State remains. Better to dream of unicorns.

No. Usually 900 THB but this month 1k THB.

Whatever the argument over Biden's lap top content, his defamation lawsuit and FBI investigation of federal law violations (especially with regard to illegal interstate transfer of Biden's personal data on the lap top) should clarify what is fact, what is criminal and what is false conspiracy. This case has the makings of another Dominion defamation case once depositions and subpoenas are carried out for information from parties allegedly complicit in the theft and data distribution.

"like the 90-day report" I don't see the comparison to what tourists must report.

Tourists do 90-day reports?

The virus does not morph into the flu but mutates like the flu. But it seems unlike the flu mutations that occur generally on an annual period the covid subvariants seem to appear in a much shorter time. Latest Omicron subvariant is now at XBB.1.5 in some developed countries like the US. It is more infectionous but effects are much the same.

So "Do Not Pass Go, To Jail" not an option for the coup leader, who's not the PM but is the PM? That's a comeback some people might like to see that would justify a vote for a new leader.

With air quality forecast today in Bangkok at 151 (unhealthy), not the same as any place in the world. Beijing 91 Seoul 55 Paris 33 Los Angeles 44

More than 2,000 police officers deployed to protect him from a small group of protesters: "8 years, no future, get out" and "Loong Too, borrow, borrow, borrow." Protesters were not allowed to enter the fair ground where Prayut appeared.

Not an African nation that the EC chose to visit to assure Thai absentee ballot votes get counted in the next election.

From personal and unscientific perspective, I find that Bangkok Metropoliton Area is itself 30-40% more expensive across the board than the southern parts of the province, ie. Bang Khun Thian, Bang Bon, Bang Khae. Perhaps explained in part by very few expats and lesser demand for foreign products..

Smart move by Prayut just before an election. He supervises DSI in addition to the RTP.
