This restriction goes back to the junta's 2015 Public Assembly Act and also bans public assemblies between 6pm and 6am. The Parliament who passed that legislation at that time was appointed by the junta. But in May 2014 after the junta "dissolved" the elected Parliament it had already banned gatherings of more than five people, just hours after the military staged a coup. This law is undemocratic as it is not the product of a democratic legislature and technically violates the Constitution. It needs to be abolished. Not the so-called group of street racers were simply gathered for a common interest (no racing had occurred as yet) when forced to disperse. Freedom of assembly and speech without violence is critical to any democratic society.

Woman Who Lived At Suvarnabhumi Airport For 2 Months Gets Help
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Airport security was aware she had been "living" on the first floor for almost 2 months begging people for money and shoplifting to survive? Until someone contacted PFCW to investigate the woman's situation? Airport security role needs some updating. -
How much do the average Thai person earn ?
Srikcir replied to Baron Samedi's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A further note: any capital gain or investment income from sources outside Thailand is not subject to (Thailand) taxation unless a resident taxpayer remitted the process into Thailand within the same calendar year it is received. The manner of foreign remission to Thailand might be surreptitious enough to evade detection by the Thai government. -

A political party's political platform forms its policies that guide its legislative priorities. To maintain its law-making existence in the context of public elections, it is essential that it gain and maintain as large as possible an electoral majority. All BP is doing, as has PTP and the Democrat Party historically, is to attract and maintain the electoral majority with proposed legislation aligned with its publicized policies. The Opposition coalition wants to take BP's party policies out of its legislation which ironically might be considered the Opposition coalitions' political policy and legislation objectives to reverse the current law. Is this just a gracious objective with no political expectation or a political means ultimately to attract the electorate?

Not really in the literal sense. The Prayut-led military coup writers of their two new constitutions called its governance "Thai-Styled Democracy"; one that reflects Thai custom and tradition distinguished differently from "Western-Styled Democracy." With hundreds of years as an absolute monarchy and thirteen military coup-led governments since 1932, the history of Thai governance falls very short in terms of "democracy" when compared to histories of many Western democracies.

Customs Act of 2017 Chapter II Part 1 Section 16 There are six methods determine Customs value. Custom valuations for purpose of import duty collection. One can be "a deductive value." There is no mention of any hierarchy for which method applies. Section 17 Customs value for importation shall include cost of insurance, cost of transportation, loading and unloading of goods (ie., for Customs inspection) No comment. Section 18 An advanced ruling can be obtained and "shall exclusively bind the Customs Department and the requester for a period of time specified by the Director-General." This might help in making personal property import decisions. Note: I have no personal experience as such.

For many, Thailand’s UN vote on Russia still a puzzle

The amount of explosives dropped on Japan in WW2 just for the two atomic bombs was 40 kilotons. Wanna trade? -
For many, Thailand’s UN vote on Russia still a puzzle
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand owes Great Brittan for Great Brittan's recognition of Thailand's sovereignty over the Kingdom of Pattani ( now Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat). No fake public referendum necessary, the independence of the Muslim kingdom was irrelevant. -
Thailand - resolving conflict between a fascist aggressor nation committing war crimes and a peaceful democratic nation? But Ukraine should choose the Thai solution by unconditional surrender after one week of resistance, ie., against Japanese invasion of Thailand in WW2? Thailand's abstention was not an act in defense of a nation's integrity nor of democracy. It seems more towards economic alignment regardless of any democratic and humanitarian cost.

Unprovoked attack against a peaceful nation, war disguised as a political exercise, fascist allies, war crimes against civilians and nonmilitary infrastructure, military intimidation to force annexation, genocide, forced conscription of the weak and young, etc. The same kind of tactics used by Nazi Hitler in WW2. Russia has become the nazis. Defend the Ukraine homeland, protect civilians, fight against overwhelming odds against a military superior aggressor, sacrifice to keep the capital and sovereignty, military support from democratic nations, etc. Ukraine has become the Allies of WW2.

There's another mystery to me how an university department of political sciences even had access to such funds. The Groundwater Management Fund seems to imply a degree of developing and constructing civil projects that would provide sustainable water sources, flood and drought control. A university political science department doesn't seem to be the correct venue to meet mission objectives. Case in point by analogy: August 13, 2020 https://thailand.prd.go.th The government approved almost 12 billion baht towards 14 drought and flood projects in 76 provinces. Allocation of funds went to five ministries: Agriculture and Cooperatives Interior Transport Defense Natural Resources and Environment How does essentially the Ministry of Education, specifically the subject university and dean/acting dean of the political sciences department have alleged access to the subject fund? Might there be further higher-level organizational involvement to divert the subject funds? The two arrested parties might just be "low-hanging fruit" in regard to "missing funds." ACNS Division might further focus on the money trail leading to the subject university department.

Famous Thai hotel chef in Pattaya dies after falling off his motorbike

Dying from sleep apenia might actually be analogous, if not contributory, to the chef's death. -
Motorcyclist killed after reportedly trying to beat train in Pattaya
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
All certainly possibilities as you state and many more but (see news link) she deliberately breached the railroad crossing barrier while other traffic waited for the train to pass. As such she should never have been on the motorcycle. This tragic accident was unnecessary. -
Biden pardons thousands for ‘simple possession’ of marijuana
Srikcir replied to Scott's topic in World News
The number of people affected by Biden's pardon from federal prison for possession of marijuana may provide only limited advantage. Remember the pardon doesn't apply to state convictions. The US Sentencing Commission shows that in 2017 only 92 people were sentenced for marijuana possession out of a total of nearly 20,000 convictions! At the federal level 81,900 prisoners in September 2016 were convicted of drug offenses, but more than 99% were sentenced for trafficking (my note - "simple possession implies "personal use"). June 2019 https://washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/ So for a person convicted of possession of marijuana in federal court along with other serious drug offenses, there might only be a nominal reduction in their sentence. They should remain in jail. But Biden does set an example and that may motivate state citizens to push for similar drug policies. -
Thai immigration withdraw tourist visas of two CNN reporters
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Regardless whether the reporters were allowed to go into the crime scene for any purpose, they went in with the intention of representing CNN as reporters. That violated their tourist visas. They would have needed a non-immigration M visa. As such they should and were fined, then deported. -
