This won't work with blood cancers that reside in the bone marrow.

A Chinese consulate in Pattaya would further contribute to Thai-Chinese diplomacy. Same goes for Russia and India.

Lack of evidence. It's the flag that got him convicted.

And Thailand will pay for it!

I would hope the Court defines what and how a constitutional monarchy operates under the rule of law. The questions might then become in part, is Thaksin considered part of the Thai electorate (typically under representation with a political party) that defines the rule of law. For example, the Constitution of Thailand states that "the sovereign power of Thailand belongs to the Thai people."

Literally, "butt out."

Might there be an element of global warming in these increasing events? No one nation can prevent its effects.

Where was the local community to help the farmer knowing his hardships? But maybe providing some occasional volunteer help would have prevented this tragedy - but volunteer without bring paid? Inconceivable.

Cost is Irrelevant. Preservation of the power and sovereignty of the electorate should be Supreme. Better recognition to the sovereignty of the electorate to decide the form of government. Then maybe this can lead to a better understanding to what Thailand's Constitutional Monarchy means in terms of electoral power.

A stab in the back for human rights. Thailand's (alleged) Human Rights Commission's recent accreditation with the UNHRC should immediately be withdrawn.

So they have to date no idea of anything specific after decades of tourism fails in Phuket, Pattaya? Geeze, how do we ensure tourist safety, need to figure this out. You don't think around the world at some of the most visited tourist locations (Venice & Sicily come immediately to mind) this question has been put into action?

"passengers not wearing helmets could be detained at a police station" Is this true? There is no reference to back this claim. Many years ago I took a motor bike taxi near the Phetchaburi MRT station to a hospital and motor taxi driver actually had a spare helmet for a passenger. Never before or after did I see a motor bike taxi carry a helmet for their passenger. Now police expect people on foot are going to carry a helmet as they walk around in malls, window shopping on the street in anticipation of using a motor bike taxi? If that is the case, motor bike taxi's will cease to operate.

Last year I looked into getting refund on tax withheld on interest from a Thai savings account. I've had a tax ID for several years but made no use of it (just got it for the experience). Long story short, the bank wanted me to fill out a US IRS federal form that reveals all my income taxed in the US. Not to be submitted to the bank but to a private company allegedly working for the bank (bank people seemed unknowing about the private company) . So in my mind any illegal exposure of my personal US tax information could not be attributed to the bank relative to suing the bank for releasing my personal data to unauthorized bank contacts. As the interest withheld was typically 200 baht against interest income of generally 1,300 it wasn't worth revealing my US tax filings. I'll just eat the tax. PS: I hold a LTR visa for wealthy retired individuals which does not tax foreign income. So happy to "donate" to Thailand 200 baht annually.

With substantial assistance from the Allies. And Allies pressure the West of Germany helped Russia to apply significant pressure from the East. And so far as helping win WW2, Russia demanded the spoils of defeating the Axis in Eastern Europe and Balkans by claiming sovereignty over countries it passed through to defeat the German army. Ultimately, giving rise to the Berlin Wall and a divided Germany for which it RULED as an authoritarian despot.

I thought I read recently in Asean Now that income generated outside will be taxed regardless of where or not any of it was transferred to Thailand. Maybe that only applied to Thais and not foreign residents.

For example, holder of a LTR visa in two of three categories.

But does not align with asylum. While the Royal Thai Government does not have an asylum system for the protection of refugees, UNHCR becomes the only organisation responsible for receiving and processing asylum applications. As the Thailand Human Rights Commission was recently accredited by the UNHRC, Thailand should in spirit of the UNHRC consider careful treatment of the "illegal" persons.

Just to note that "undocumented" is not synonymous with "illegal." Albeit, if they have as foreigners been working without work permits.

This should not be the only agency to review A&L. The SEC and Department of Revenue should also be in the review. It's more than a matter of "unusual wealth" but how it was kept and/or disbursed.

Why does it feel the local police have been compromised or worse yet, participants. Such is a perception when police delay investigation, refuse dialog with victim and deflect any assurances to the victim that investigation is proceeding with due diligence.

Nice. But don't lose sight for increased funding basic programs for Thais such as National Health Program, subsidies for agriculture, manufacturing investments, etc. Need to cap military spending and new acquisitions.

For almost 10 years with a non O-A visa I always file notification by mail with EMS tracking and enclosed post stamp return envelope. Only once did I never receive the return notification. For about seven years Tracking was acknowledged by an agent mark. Then no acknowledged mark but still received new 90 day notice in the mail. Now I have a LTR visa requiring notification annually, simply go to OSS ,Chamchuri Square Building, Bangkok (next to an MRT station) that has a window for LTR only. Submit LTR notification, receive next date placed in passport - 10 minutes.

To post on the beach all the rules, it would take a billboard to cite everything. But maybe post some police on the beach who can and must directly warn beach violators.

Bad for MAGA. Republicans who do not pledge allegiance to MAGA are voting for Harris.

Putin should put him on the Dead Meat Brigades to fight in Ukraine. He deserves Russian propaganda of a good life in Russia. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2022/08/22/life-in-russia-made-harder-and-harder-by-economic-sanctions_5994442_4.html US and the West will not miss him.
