Thailand’s CPI sees sixth consecutive monthly decrease
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No. Many sources. "Global EV market forecasted to reach 17.5 million units with solid growth of 27% in 2024. The latest Canalys research predicts sales of global electric vehicles (EVs) to grow 29% and reach 13.7 million units, equating to a penetration rate of 17.1% in 2023."

Political inferno: Move Forward Party risks dissolution

No. MFP got powered-played by a fixed electoral process that guarantees those that brought the coup remain influential. MFP was like a tennis player with no racket and a ten foot high net. -

Thai government’s 500 billion baht digital wallet under scrutiny
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Today it appears that funding will be directed within the next fiscal year to the RTN's next submarine and frigate that don't appear to have undergone "careful consideration." RTN 1 : Thais 0 -

Navy Might Get Both Submarine And Frigate Next Fiscal Year: Suthin
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Australia's sub orders are not off-the-shelf. US current Virginia nuclear missile attack subs in service now are the state of art. Australia's five sub order in part subsidized by the US will be built to the next tech level for delivery in 2030's. Then US, UK and Australia will be the only nations operating the Virginia class subs. Sorry Thailand. -
Navy Might Get Both Submarine And Frigate Next Fiscal Year: Suthin

It seems that the way the RTN operates its ships, that frigate might become a submarine. -
Navy Might Get Both Submarine And Frigate Next Fiscal Year: Suthin
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes it was resolved. As I recall the buses went from China unexpectantly through Malaysia for some fittings before entering Thailand. But Thailand customs upon arrival in Thailand, impounded them because of "non-origin additions," and required a large customs duty tax to be paid by the Chinese supplier for the buses. As a consequence of the delay, Chinese exporter was not paid for the shipment. Long story short (months?), it was concluded that the tax was required from the Thai importer and not by the Chinese exporter. Upon payment, buses were paid for and released for service in Thailand. -
Pheu Thai is reformist, not neo conservative party, Thaksin claims

Which is why PTP joined the MFP progressive coalition to oppose antiquated conservative pro-military political supporters. NOT! -

MFP alleges govt embezzlement in RTN frigate procurement
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe only if the Srettha government has in fact implemented The Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act, 2022 that PM Prayut attempted to delay in 2023? Without it, who'll come forward to substantiate military corruption? -

Thailand signs MOU for comprehensive electric charging station project
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
For a nation that wants to be the Hub of EV manufacturing in SE Asia, many more locations need charging stations than the EEC. "Number of EV charging locations in Thailand 2023, by provider" Published by Statista Research Department, Dec 19, 2023. As of September 2023, there were 2,222 charging locations in Thailand, with a total of 8,702 charging units. The leading provider was EV Station Pluz with 555 locations, followed by Energy Absolute with 538 locations and PEA Volta on the third spot providing 217 locations to recharge electric vehicles. Why so much focus on the EEC? Maybe because it was a project created by the Prayut military junta under its absolute powers and it might still have "sticky fingers" in the project? -
Analysts predict BoT to maintain policy rate despite weak baht

There are no actual metrics that would otherwise cause BoT to lower its policy rate during its April 10 meeting. 'If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." -

Chinese tourist asks govt when 21-day Songkran Festival begins
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
He could have checked the internet after arrival in Thailand, ie., after landing. Or airport information counter? Chinese embassy, etc.? His complaint seems disingenuous and perhaps deliberate for attention. -
Speed between two objects is relative, 3kmh vs 10kmh the latter can be considered "high speed." But there is also comparison of mass between the two colliding objects. The higher the speed the higher mass and thus, higher kinetic energy delivered to the slower object. Thus, apart from lack of helmets, the three on a motor bike might receive greater impact and injury than the Brit.
