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.

The amount of explosives dropped on Japan in WW2 just for the two atomic bombs was 40 kilotons. Wanna trade?

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.

"traveling at speed" is usually how vehicles travel. But it might be informative to know at what speed in this story.

Next time send ISOC* soldiers, the military's political division, to order local officials. I'm sure they'll "get the memo." *Internal Security Operations Command

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.

Prepared for suicide drones? Putin might be worth collateral damage to end a war.

Having two arms helps to carry a chicken, especially if drunk.

Will Thailand - another land favorable to oligarch occupation - become the new Russian Crimea escape from reality? July 2022 The Thaiger: "Russian billionaire's super yacht Samui spurs hope of wealthy tourists" What's good for the goose is good enough for the gander?

Dying from sleep apenia might actually be analogous, if not contributory, to the chef's death.

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.

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.

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.
