To help save lives and injury, Thailand should provide new arrivals to Thailand a list of traffic laws that should be taken with a grain of salt or rice (ie., unlikely to be enforced). So at street level pedestrian crossings, it's stop, look 360 degrees, check any pedestrian signal lights, then run like hell while continuing to look 360 degrees.

Is a citzen of Ukraine considered a Russian national?

Reality can bite. "Will hydrogen overtake batteries in the race for zero-emission cars?", by Jasper Jolly Feb. 13, 2024 https://www.theguardian.com/business/ Batteries are already the post-petrol choice for almost every manufacturer. Batteries’ domination is likely to be extended as the money pouring into research and infrastructure addresses questions of range and charging times. Compared with that flood of investment, hydrogen is a trickle. Toyota acknowledges that hydrogen in cars has so far “not been successful”, mainly because of the lack of fuel supply, according to its technical chief, Hiroki Nakajima

Any CCTV at the resort showing her movements that final day when she left? Her last call probably was made at the resort as she was staying there. Maybe interview resort personnel about men she may have meet before her disappearances. Seems plenty of sources for a police investigation.

The now tallest Burj Khalifa building, start at 1:45 "there are narratives and statistics that you may have missed." one-third empty not intended for occupation, called vanity height" 71% used by humans Does the Thailand government really need to promote how vain it is?

Why not his choice to decide instead of a military state? Is not passivity a moral action in which one is defined by what they do not do versus immoral/unethical action?

If you pay attention these wars are mana from heaven for the US Defense Industry that contributes to the US economy through sales. Plus the US cleans out its overage stored military surplus by transfers to like-kind foreign nations such as Ukraine, thus saving billions USD in storage and maintenance costs. The so-called trillions of debt was created primarily by the GOP during POTUS Trump regime in permanent tax cuts for large corporations and wealthy political donors.

Not a serious issue and certainly affordable to any tourist spending on the order of 1,500+ baht a day while in Thailand. And not uncommon. For example, tourism in the Caribbean nation of Dominican Republic generates more than 15% of GDP. Despite tourist entry fee of US$10 that may be added to the air ticket price or paid at immigration and departure fee of US$20 usually included in airfare already. Tourist are also subject to Island VAT.

Thailand is in a position to actually strong-arm the Myanmar military junta to settle its civil war sooner than later. "Thailand is home to at least 2 million Myanmar workers, not including several hundreds of thousands of workers who have entered and stayed irregularly." Oct. 26, 2023, https://eastasiaforum.org No doubt Myanmar workers earning wages in Thailand that they couldn't get in Myanmar helps boost the Myanmar economy, especially in terms of consumer spending. If Thailand closes its border with Myanmar to prevent its economic gain from its workers going into Thailand, that might well collapse the Myanmar junta government. But such approach might negatively impact the Thai economy as a price to sustainable democracy in Thailand. If one considers the new Thai government as a cut-out for the Thai military power, for PTP the price of power to oppose the Mynamar military junta might be unsustainable.

Versus the Kingdom of Thailand unable to reach a peace agreement with the Malay Muslim insurrection over the last 100 years. Thailand should have zero credibility in expressing "deep concern" over another nation's civil war. Thailand needs to mind its own House first.

Lux is an imported product. Given Thailand's ever deteriorating baht exchange rate (more baht required in foreign exchange) since the 2014 military coup, part of the Thailand price inflation is due to Thailand's failing economic policies. Thai retailers get no benefit from higher import costs. Strengthen the baht, reduce inflation.

Not just a perception by Thais. "Tuscany, Italy: 'Rude' Russian tourists offered a lesson in manners," By Nick Squires, June 26, 2014 - The Sidney Morning Herald "As the summer tourist season approaches, Italians have a message for their rich Russian visitors - you may have money, but you have no manners." "Teaching uncouth Russians how to behave in a more civil way should not be construed as Italian arrogance, he said, but a way of gently shepherding tourists towards more culturally acceptable behaviour."

This appears to have been an issue since 2014 which means the recent surge in Russian tourism in Thailand is nothing new to perceived rudeness. "Phuket: Are Russians really rude?," By Anton Makhrov, February 15, 2014 https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-are-russians-really-rude-44624.php

As the RTM seems to have made itself into a political force (especially now through ISOC) since its 1932 overthrow of the absolute monarchy with allegiance to what seems to be its own sovereignty, it apparently fears abrogation to civilian sovereignty. Just what democracy deserves.

In a way, yes. POTUS Trump did nothing for 4 years to address the immigration issues other a largely symbolic partial border built wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Thus, POTUS Biden had NOTHING to begin with but blamed for it. And when after almost 4 years Biden was able to get an expansive, bipartison conservative bill through the Senate to address the many immigration issues, the House MAGA at Trump's directive killed the bipartisan bill.

If there is a coup in the making, might such suspension actually accelerate the coup? Better might be active People's sovereign control in general (no pun intended) and transparency (especially in suspicious transfers of military personnel, sudden relocation of military equipment and disbursement of unaccountable/off budgeted defence funds) so that the government is provided early warning to possible coup. With regard to the latter, there might also be a whistle-blower statue in place to encourage and protect rank and file to come forth voluntarily as to possible coup planning and perhaps an Inspector General type oversight to whistle-blower accusations and subpoena authority directed to high ranking military.

From the article link so additional information: "As he was walking towards the restroom, a man, whom he did not know, approached him and struck him on the head with the blunt end of a pistol. Mr. Nakorn was unable to identify the assailant and said he did not know the motive behind the attack." So left the stage area into a crowd, heading to the restroom. Maybe mistaken for someone else.

How about in the heart of all major Thai cities to drive a sustainable environment?

So can we assume no taxpayer or donor funds were involved - a BYOB kind of meeting? Would be nice as a coalition government to reveal the agenda.

It's a constitutional crisis. The power to legislate (pass, amend and revoke laws of the nation) is actually granted specifically by the constitution under the clauses in the constitution whereby the sovereignty of the nation belongs to the Thai people. Not to any one person. This means no one person is above the law except for which one might be expressly given under a constitution and actual practice. A somewhat relatable example can be found in "How the Queen's constitutional role shifted over her reign," by Vernon Bogdanor, Sept. 9, 2022 https://theguardian.com/uk-news/

I always squeeze the plastic bottle, then screw the cap back on so reducing bottle size and keeping cap for recycling. Could just throw the cap in the recycle bag along with bottles but need larger bag.

Oh please. New York would recognize Jaywalking as a national event if it involved a street party.

What does this mean exactly? What is the ROE protocol? Shoot first, ask later? Or just protest again and again? The cited policy is nonsense and unworkable. What might be more viable is a "deconflict" line between the Mynamar and Thailand militaries such as existing between the US and Russian militaries over Syria. A daily deconfliction hotline between the countries would establish daily military protocols regarding potential military conflicts. "Status Unclear of US-Russia Hotline for Syrian Airspace," April 10, 2017 https://www.voanews.com Thailand might also establish same with the Myanmar National Defence Army-Ta'ang National Liberation Army that would reflect Thailand's apparent neutrality over the Myanmar Civil War.

That's all very well but maybe not so efficient use of expensive high performance F-16s. In 1992 the US sold to Thailand three E-2C AWACS having detection and tracking range of up to about 370 km or 230 miles - that would be sufficient for monitoring surroundering Thailand border airspaces. But likely retired by now. What AWACS does the RTAF have today if any? I did find an article dated 2009* that Thailand would buy as part of an acquisition package of Swedish fighters, one turboprop S-1000 AEW by Saab, spread over a 5-year budgetary commitment from 2008-2012. Purchase of another Saab AEW was planned over another 5-year budgetary commitment from 2013-2017 but was "delayed." Perhaps by the RTA coup in 2014 that might have competing military needs? But today TRAF is using F-16s (apart from just accumulating flight time) for monitoring nearby Mynamar airspace suggests Thailand now has no AWACS. * https://defenceforumindia.com "Thailand Buying JAS-39 Gripens, AWACS," dated Dec. 20, 2009
