  1. You're looking at it. It never ended when PM Prayut lost the 2023 election.
  2. He says, "I don't really have sufficient funds to go with anything on the upper shelf of Visas (Elite etc), or DTV, because i have no income" His financial status seems a mystery.
  3. 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.
  4. Billionaires have a different outlook for fun. Me - buy an all day pass to Disneyland parks. Billionaire - buy Disneyland.
  5. 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.

  6. 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.
  7. You may not like Harris policies but at least they apply to 2024 versus Trump's self-promotional policies from 2016,
  8. She still supports Trump for POTUS - hoping for Secretary of State?
  9. "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.
  10. "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.
  11. Aug. 15, 2024 https://theguardian.com "The biggest party in Thailand’s caretaker government PTP will meet on Thursday to choose a successor for dismissed former premier Srettha Thavisin, as it races to shore up its alliance a day ahead of a pivotal parliamentary vote on a new prime minister. Pheu Thai must now choose one of two eligible candidates – Chaikasem Nitisiri, a former attorney-general and justice minister, and its inexperienced leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra ..."
  12. Seems to be a Thailand tradition dince 1932.
  13. Maybe he should overthrow himself and abolish the constitution. The CC has no issue with coups.
  14. Stop funding "star-studded" government agencies and private foundations so maybe the begging community can be given a chance at normal life.
  15. 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.
  16. "Elon & Trump's Spaces Chat Hammers ‘defective’ Democrats" Like a bald tire complaining about an engine timing belt. Time to replace that tire.
  17. If you are a first-time donor, you must not be older than 60 years of age. If you are 60-65 years old, you must be a regular donor. Donations are made through the Thailand Red Cross.
  18. That might in part be more the result of the baht collapsing against foreign currencies that raises the cost of imported products.
  19. It's a replica as in fake. Remove it.
  20. Reminds me of the recruiting slogan of the US Army "Be All That You Can Be." Just a different nation. Thavisin has been since PM merely a new (albeit "coddled") recruit.
  21. 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.
  22. How about Sovereign Peoples Party.
  23. The UN didn't have stewardship over Gaza. The King of Jordon did but ignored by Netanhayu and former POTUS Trump.
  24. Research ongoing for the body to make antibodies to target the virus. It's much more complex than covid I think. "Rethinking the Rabies Vaccine," pasteur.fr 2022.06.29
