Paetongtarn Shinawatra to be Nominated as Thailand's New PM
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Who cares? Certainly not the Thai People. NIDA Poll "Political Popularity Survey for the First Quarter of 2024": When asked about support for candidates for PM: Pita 42.75%, "no suitable candidate" 20%, Thavisin 17.75%, Paetongtam 6%, Pirapan 3.6%. (some figures rounded, my bold). https://nidapoll.nisa.ac.th/data/survey/uploads/FILE-1711167362839.pdf Of course MFP no longer exists. -
Labour Budget Cuts on the Modernisation of the UK's Armed Forces

Best UK sign a peace treaty with Russia now to survive future Russian expansion and retribution against supporter of NATO and Ukraine. UK Oblast anyone? "UK military ‘couldn’t fight Russia for longer than two months" Failure to secure more funding for Armed Forces puts us at a disadvantage, warns Deputy Chief of Defence Staff.

Thailand's Top 10 Longest-Serving Prime Ministers
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Incorrect according to the Constitutional Court that only recognized the Prayut only served four years (2009-2023 as PM). According to the Constitution, if a PM has served an aggregate of eight years, that person cannot run again for PM. PM Prayut was challenged in court to be ineligible to be nominated PM in the 2023 election but the CC found against the challenge. -

Disney fights Thai doctor’s death lawsuit, citing husband’s agreement
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
"Disney is trying to have the lawsuit dismissed" (my bold). This is called a motion for summary judgement before any trial. If Disney is correct about its alleged legal position, a judge upon review of plaintiff's rebuttal may rule in favor of the defendant without a trial. But the defendant still has appeal rights. -
PM Srettha Guilty of Ethical Misconduct, Entire Cabinet Dismissed
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Section 204 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2550 (2007) provided that the Constitutional Court consists of the President of the Constitutional Court and 8 Justices of the Constitutional Court, appointed by the King upon the advice of the Senate." (my bold emphasis) https://www.constitutionalcourt.or.th/occ_web/download/article/article_20170312125044.pdf Recall that the 2007 Constitution allowed only 50% of the Senate to be elected. Following the 2014 military coup that abolished the 2007 Constitution, it wrote a new constitution with 100% unelected 250 senators initially nominated by the military coup leadership but with 50 permanent senators who cannot be removed. In 2024 an unelected senate selection committee replaced the initial 200 senators through an internal "selection process." Again unelected. -

How to get tax id number with non o?
Srikcir replied to Topah's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It didn't for me when at Department of Revenue to get the tax ID. No financial information was asked, none offered. The amount of tax on interest in my Thai bank account is typically about 250 baht. As it is, I would have to file a Thai tax return to refund tax on interest and that requires a lot of foreign banking information to be provided to the bank because of the Double Taxation Treaty. As the information is collected by a contractor on behalf of my bank, I suspect it shields the bank from any unauthorized account data disclosures, so I declined to submit the form and do not file a tax return. -

PM Hopeful Ahead of Crucial Constitutional Court Verdict

Dusit Poll Highlights Thai Political Pessimism as Govt's Rating Plummets
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Didn't that change already occur with MFP's landslide election in the 2023 election? The hope for the Thai People's sovereignty over the nation as guaranteed by successive constitutions was almost realized. The crushing reality of political manipulation by a historical minority opposition once again to deny that sovereignty will set an impetus for that hope to strengthen in further majority opposition on a broader political stage. To that end a "fresh name" is unnecessary. The transformation is likely to be more direct physical confrontation. -
