Public officials cite sale requires a license but police cite some "rule" that alcohol can't be sold 'on' the road? Obviously 'on' meant next to a public road (I don't think seller was actually in the roadway but maybe a translation problem with Thai) but wouldn't that make bars selling alcohol next to a public road illegal aside from a license issue? Maybe it would more helpful if police cite correct law and not some 'off the cuff' proverb.

Charter Court rules Bill amending Political Parties Act constitutional
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The Court finds legislation passed by the pro-military majority legislature created in part by a junta created Senate to be constitutional...consistent with it upholding junta NCPO Orders as constitutional. Naturally. -
Or even being near a street: " about to cross the road before they were hit by Mr. Payak" Seems the couple hadn't yet entered the road to cross and were hit. Driver lose sight of where the road edge was? It's not uncommon in Thailand for people at sidewalk cafes, in their homes, shopping at street side vendors, etc. to get hit by vehicles rebounding like a billiard ball after a road collision.

A review of hard drive by The Washington Post - March 30, 2022 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/ In part: The vast majority of the data — and most of the nearly 129,000 emails it contained — could not be verified by either of the two security experts who reviewed the data for The Post. The experts found the data had been repeatedly accessed and copied by people other than Hunter Biden over nearly three years. (Before possession by the FBI) Most of the data obtained by The Post lacks cryptographic features that would help experts make a reliable determination of authenticity The Post’s review of these emails found that most were routine communications that provided little new insight into Hunter Biden’s work for the company. From the FBI potential federal laws violated but nothing seems to be a nefarious criminal political conspiracy, especially with VP Biden: "they (FBI) believe is sufficient evidence to charge him (HB) with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase." It is for U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges.

By going to social media it seems to me that BTS risks a defamation lawsuit. Such a lawsuit does not require facts, only as little as 'perceived' intimidation and 'potential' harm to reputation. In this case the Thai government and possibly the Minister of Transport. Threaten a civil and criminal defamation lawsuit against BTS - end of problem?

China Congratulates Thailand on Successfully Hosting APEC 2022
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Prayut eyes appear to be cast downward rather than towards Xi's face. As would be appropriate between a servant and master. In September 2022 it was reported that the first phase of a high-speed train linking Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima will be completed in 2027, a year behind schedule thus far. Even then not a connection to China's planned Silk Road train system. As Prayut financed 100% from China and behind schedule, he has little cause to consider himself an equal to Xi publicly in a photo op. I think Xi's hand shake is a reminder of how Prayut has tied Thailand economically to China. Xi might be saying with his hand shake, "I'm not letting you (Prayut) go." -

Xi Did Not Shake Hands With Prayut ‘Because Of Covid Measures’
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
APEC was about world sustainable economics and interms of ranking, Thailand is a minor player compared to the USA, Japan and Canada. Xi knows the pecking order"despite Prayut's claim that Thsiland is the economic hub of ASEAN. -
No, but the threshold for removal of special counsel by DOJ Attorney General (POTUS has no authority to appont nor remove Special Counsel). Case in point was DOJ Barr's appointment of Durham regarding the conduct of the FBI probe in its Russian investigation. Even after Biden became POTUS, Durham was able to continue prosecution of two FBI agents for alledge wrongdoing (both no conviction). "Under the regulations, a special counsel can be fired only by the attorney General and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty or conflict of interest. An attorney general must document such reasons in writing." December 2, 2020 https://apnews.com/article/ Even if fired I imagine the special counsel (particularly when another AG is appointed by a different political party with intent to remove the special counsel) can sue the AG for alleged improper discharge.

UK strikes revised deal with France on Channel migrants

Of the 9,000 men in the French Foreign Legion, about 700 are Ukrainians. (https://foreignlegion.info dated March 7, 2022) So yes. -
How is China's military base in Cambodia's Ream naval base a peaceful development? Or: China pledged support for Myanmar's junta "No matter how the situation changes" China accepted Gen. Prayut's military coup as legal and signed a security pack with the junta. China claims against the World Court, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam that the whole of the South China Sea is part of its sovereignty and entitled to exclusive right all the Sea's resources. China refuses to strengthen UN Security Council sanctions imposed over North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. China provides Russia with economic and financial support during Russia's war on Ukraine. Xi has threatened Australia over Australia's military alliance with the US. "China has a strong production capability, including producing additional long-range missiles with conventional warheads that target military objectives in Australia when the situation becomes highly tense (sic)." "The reason why the Chinese Communist Party is labeled as the biggest national security threat to Australia is because they are." (Senator James Patterson, Aug. 11, 2022; www.abc.net.au/news) It is China's intention to be the only hegemon in Asia. And "Emperor for Life" Xi is its chief propogandist. Trust Xi as one would trust the word of "peace" cited by PM Prayut.

Yes! I just talked to an agent at 800-772-1213 who said the P.O. Box is the only destination for the form. Agent said that the processing Center itself is not set up to directly receive the form.
-
I called that number. Eventually got a live person. The Agent said that the 7162 must be mailed to P.O. Box 7162, Wilkes Barre, PA 18767-7162. Sent to any other address is unlikely to arrive for administrative processing. Although I sent my form via Thailand Post EMS on July 4, 2022, SSA has no record of receipt.

Ukraine war: Nato says Poland probably hit by Ukrainian missile
Srikcir replied to Scott's topic in World News
Isn't the S-300 manufactured by Russia and exported? Also Ukraine has captured S-300's from Russia during this war. Ukraine has been able to spoof the S-300 with air drones and air fighter missile attacks, so the S-300 isn't the sharpest tool as an air-to-air defense. If Russia wasn't attacking infrastructure and civilians with their missiles, Ukraine wouldn't need such an imprecise counter weapon. Perhaps in the interim before any Iron Dome systems reach Ukraine. Poland should assist Ukraine I stopping Russian missile attacks against Ukraine. As such Poland's anti-missiles would be flying out of Poland. -

There might be a deeper issue with USPS delivering SS forms timely. The USPS Board of Governors is made up entirely of former POTUS Trump appointees. This Service leadership led by Chairman Louis DeJoy has known connections with Trump and the Republican Party. Sep. 9, 2020 Here Are All The Postal Service Leader's Ties To Trump and the GOP https://www.forbes.com Recall that the GOP opposes mail in voting ballots and supports dissolution of social security. To that end it would be consistent with GOP political agenda that the USPS leadership would slow mailings or "lose" them in connection with absentee voting and social security mail-ins. The mailer envelopes for these mails are distinct and unique. POTUS Biden cannot remove any of the Board members, only the board can aside from any successful federal criminal conviction.

I emailed FBUManila in July 2022 about emailing or mailing my 7162 to them. Response was it must be mailed to Wilkes Barre. No email accepted. So I mailed it EMS (tracked only to US port of entry) to Wilkes Barr. Today I received my Second Notice to file.

Superyacht Russian sanctioned oligarch owned Cloudbreak spent anchored the week near Koh Samui in July 2022. Clearly anchored Thailand territorial waters. The Thai government's reaction was to celebrate the yacht's arrival because Thailand's tourism will benefit from arrival of such high-net-worth tourists!
