Move Forward eyes new path to power in Thailand with local elections

To be clear 'The reformist party won last year’s national election but was blocked by a military minority coalition to form a government.' "failed" sounds like MVP's fault to the unknowing. -

Nice double dip. Grab pays AoT to provide services and passenger customers pay Aot for the priviledge: "to enhance passenger convenience and elevate service standards, the Airports of Thailand (AoT) unveiled the latest addition to Suvarnabhumi Airport: Grab taxi services." -

Economy unlikely to grow in first quarter as Thai manufacturing crumbles
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In "Asean now" in this same edition PM Srettha "made it clear that Thailand will stamp out the current freewheeling liberal atmosphere regarding to sale and consumption of cannabis" (my italics) So his emphasis on populist economics apparently has limits if not irrationality and lacking populism, all of which actually further damage the Thai economy. No, it's not supporting the economy but adding to the economy, albeit insufficiently according to the Bank of Thailand to make a difference to GDP growth. It is largely export of Services / Products and Manufacturing that support Thailand's economy. Throw in 10 years out of accekersting control household debt and greater income inequality, the Bank of Thailand's steadfast economic conservatism will become a life preserver versus a fire engine. -
Very hostile and distorted. The so-called "freewheeling" was legal and cannabis sold by registered businesses. What should be said is that the government will flip-flop a progressive economic sustainable position to one consistent with illiberal politics demanded by ultra conservative political elements, ie., to stay in power. Very sad to see Srettha's political weakness.

Currently impossible to order on Tops Online since the recent upgrade
Srikcir replied to Jingthing's topic in General Topics
Glad you posted this. Yesterday went online to start an order but found all my personal data was gone as well as auto signin. Now I understand why. I saw no announcement for upgrade. No issues recreating my personal data and started an order in progress - yet to send it in because shipping is too high. -

Is Srettha planning to divest his finance portfolio to SET chief Pichai?
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Members of the cabinet are nominated by the prime minister, cannot be members of Parliament and formally appointed by the King of Thailand. Except in the case of former military-coup leader PM Prayut who claimed in 2023 that he was not with concurrence of the Constitutional Court the PM beyond 2018 even though he received Royal Appointment. The prime minister is nominated by the party that won the majority of Parliament House seats in a national election, except when the person is a military coup leader such as Gen. Prayut who simply in 2014 appointed members of the Parliament, then elected by Parliament as PM. But when under the military-drafted 2016 Constitution, when no nomination gains a majority vote of the House, the then military-appointed Senate can add its vote for PM as it happened in the case of PM Thavisin who lost in the House vote but with the Senate won the overall Parliament (aka National Legislative Assembly) vote. Governance of Thailand is complex. -
Note: "Why Poland Passed on F-16s for New FA-50 Fighter Jets," August 2022 https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/08/why-poland-passed-on-new-f-16s-for-new-fa-50-fighter-jets/ For Thailand I'd say the while purchase and maintenance costs are important, how the aircraft will be used should be predominant in terms of mission objective and effectiveness. I think that using the FA-50s solely within Thailand and backed up by ground radar and anti-air missiles puts it on equal standing with the F-16s. Outside of Thailand I think it is the reverse, the F-16 is superior to the FA-50. So does Thailand want to be known as the Big Boy carrying a small stick (F-50) or a Little Boy carrying a big stick (F-16)? Note: The Republic of Korea Air Force operates a total of 180 F-16C/D aircraft and the US operates three F-16s air bases in South Korea. South Korea also operates the F-35s. Little Boy with a big stick.

Without the Jews there would be no Christians and Islamists in that order. Why does the world not celebrate other religions that developed without the influences of those three religions such as the Native Northern Continent religions (Aboriginal Indians, Aleuts, Inuits), Central and Southern Continent religions (Aztec, Mayans), Pacific Islanders, Native Africans(Akan, Hansa animism), Siberia (Shamanism), etc.?

Female ranger shot dead in a market in Narathiwat
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
The article identifies her as "A female para-military" so not unidentified. ISOC knows who she is as she would be on the RTA payroll. The Malay Muslim soldiers are no more mercenaries than are the Ukraine nation's military soldiers fighting Russian "occupiers. " -

Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
No. The Malays actually fought together with the RTM against the communist attacks in Southern Thailand with the hope that Thailand would allow the Malays to regain their sovereignty. The communists were repelled. But The Kingdom of Thailand didn't grant the Malays sovereignty. -

Sutin visits China for submarine acquisition talks
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Apparently not. Last November a navy delegation sent by Sutin was sent to China to negotiate a frigate instead if a sub. Looks like they failed.
