With Prayut "supervising" (ie., as Chairman) of the RTP and DSI as per his own appointment while serving as PM, it leaves the NACC to conduct the investigation. The NACC President Is a 2017political appointment. Good luck with that.

This article requires careful reading. Yes, the Court ordered the Government to rehabilitate the Bay using the 10 million baht fine agreed be paid by the two movie studios in 2018. The Court did not order the studios to pay the fine as it upheld the agreement by the studios to pay the government the fine. What begs the question is why the Government needed to start the rehab as per the Court order? Did the studios already pay the agreed fine to the Government pursuant to the 2018 agreement (I suspect so) but for some reason the Government "delayed" rehab? If the Government had received the fine, where are the funds? There is no mention of the studios being sued for the fine nor the studios refusing or suing the Government to avoid the fine. It's possible that the studios had yet to poy the fine as per the 2018 agreement simply because the agreement was challenged (by whom?) all the way to the Suprem Court. Thus, the payment would have been held in abeyance.

Remember this from 10+ years ago? 2011-10-08 ASEAN NOW "1,000 Boats To Push Flood Waters From Chao Phraya River" PM Yingluck was slammed by the opposition party Democrats for the idea. Seems nothing has improved with the Prayut regime.

Failing invasion and subjugation of Russia by Ukraine/Western Nations (a fantasy) or ousting of Putin in favor of Russian leadership willing to accept internal arrest and prosecution of Russians for War crimes, the only Russians held accountable for war crimes will be those who are captured by Ukraine and/or its allies and prosecuted by an independent and sovereign Ukraine. Ironically, the threat of war crimes by Russia may motivate Putin in part to continue his Special Operations in Ukraine. Putin has said that because Russia has not declared War against Ukraine, there can be no War Crimes.

The only document the Court needs is the public issue of the 2014 Royal Gazette that announced Prayut's endorsement as PM. In lieu of a copy I offer the New York Times article: May 26, 2014 "After Coup, General Vows to create A 'Genuine Democracy' in Thailand" https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/27/world/asia/thailand.html "In order to maintain the peace and order of the nation and the reconciliation of the people, there shall be a royal command to officially endorse the appointment of General Prayuth Chan-ocha as the leader of the National Council for Peace and Order to administrate the country from here onward." "General Prayuth" .... "was flanked by top officers of the armed forces who stood in front of emblems of the military and the official seal of Thailand's monarchy." Will the Court deny this event took place and/or have any significance?

If the Constitutional Court makes an unconstitutional decision, currently it can't be held accountable. Impeachment of its judges requires in part a vote of 3/5ths of the Senate currently appointed by the then NCPO (aka junta) and controlled by a pro-military coalition including active duty/retired military and police. "Thai-styled" democracy in plain view.

Curious partnership for Thailand. BYD is the world's #2 all-EV auto manufacturer (American Tesla being #1). As I recall, Chinese auto imports into Thailand are import duty-free as are Tesla's purchased online from its China factories. What's the sense of a Thai company - BYD partnership? Save from local delivery or something more hidden? Special tax breaks? Politics that promote the current regime's reputation? Also curious that four other foreign EV auto manufacturers (Toyota*, Nissan, Honda and the AutoAlliance) have announced they too will start manufacturing EVs in Thailand. https://www.nationthailand.com/specials/40015149 But no mention of any Thai partnerships. * as I recall Toyota previously partnered (ie., as an investor) with BYD to build its EVs, then place Toyota badges on the vehicles.

80% of Mongolia's imports comes from (2018) China (#1), Russia (#2), Japan (#3), US and South Korea. Thailand has to export more than KFC chicken for any meaningfull trade advantage. Aside from Mongolian copper and cashmere imports, this trade deal seems just a further political alignment with Russia and China.

A name change might make matters worse considering the marriage license and children's birth certificates. Can he talk to the Thai embassy for some reconciliation?

No guess necessary - explained in the link.

Are not all religions (including Buddhism as practiced in some nations) just cults in their rawest form?

This may just be semantics but ... It was an "unelected military dominated national legislature that ELECTED Prayut per se as PM. Certainly he was not democratically elected as no citizen-based General Election took place to establish the Parliament Ministers nor were opposition political leaders allowed any role in such "election." To all appearances, the 2014 PM's election was a democratic sham but still an "election." Subsequently, PM-Elect Prayut was then confirmed as PM by royal endorsement (required consistently by previous Constitutions) published in the Royal Gazette. Even after Thailand's 2019 General Election that led to Prayut extending his PM role, Western Democratic Nations still didn't accept Prayut as democratically elected. But that didn't affect his role within Thailand as the legal PM. Nov. 25, 2021 "Thailand not invited to US democracy summit" https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailand-not-invited-to-us-democracy-summit/ In contrast Taiwan was invited.

Technically, Prayut WAS elected in 2014 as PM. After he illegally dissolved the elected House and half-elected Senate, he formed a new Senate and House (as I recall) by personal fiat which in turn according to the royally endorsed Interim Constitution (aka Charter) written by the junta NCPO elected Prayut as PM. And further in accordance with the Interim Constitution (consistent with the many that preceded and followed it with regard to election of the PM), Prayut was royally endorsed as PM as evidenced by such announcement in the Royal Gazette. Prayut's election in 2014 was legal and the election process was essentially the same in 2019 when Prayut was AGAIN elected PM. Following the same "rule of law" would unlikely elect your daughter (whom I do not know) as PM. But maybe you meant sarcasm rather than fact.

555 I didn't want to say the possibility but that might be the deciding factor, not the Court.

Siam International law firm sent me the online link for the four application forms and one for Spouses and dependents.. https://ltr.boi.go.th/page/pre-screening.html

Prayut was also royally endorsed as a civilian premier in 2014. From 2014 to 2019 Prayut has presented himself to world leaders as Thailand's PM and accepted foreign invitations as Thailand's PM as well as the UN. Is Prayut claiming such endorsement and subsequent representation to world leaders and the UN was fake?

Where is the application? Not online? Must go to province immigration center for a paper application if living in Thailand (ie., using long stay visa)?

Several times in early evening I try to take a taxi from Soi 1 on Sukhumvit to Terminal 21, no taxis would use meter and demand upwards of 300 baht. If the taxi flag drop is raised, any taxi avoiding the meter should lose their license. PERIOD. Enforce this with undercover police.

It's possible that PM Prawit can unilaterally transfer Prayut to the Office of the PM ( in effect inactive duty - a "goffer" for the PM) and make a new appointment to Minister of Defense (I suggest a retired general from the King's Guard - Prayut was from the Queen's Guard).

I'd say, for whatever the motivation, a direct jibe as Prayut chaired the Police Commission since 2019 after he extended his PM position. So in effect Prawit's warning reflects 4 years of failure by Prayut to reform the RTP. If Prawit wants to be really in charge as PM, remove Prayut from ALL government positions.

Unfortunate timing for Malaysia to have this meeting with Caretaker PM Prawit. The authority of a Thai caretaker unelected PM is very limited, especially when it comes to new foreign policy and commitments. Photo op is the best the Federation of Malaysia can achieve with this meeting.

Eight years in power and the government still must order every year flood responses from governments agencies. Is that a sign of success?

Likely because of the typical nature of a parliamentary system wherein an MP can be elected either through single member constituency elections or through party lists - Prawit being elected in the latter. In accordance with the Constitution. But as witnessed throughout world history, the mere participation in elections by the populace can be meaningless when an unelected minority controls the levers of the electoral outcomes, ie., as in communism, fascism, oligarchies and other forms of authoritarian ideologies.
