  1. Trying to copy China's HS rail failure? "China Sees More Stations Shut Down as High-Speed Rail Debt Crisis Deepens", 25th May 2024 https://english.pardafas.com/china-sees-more-stations-shut-down-as-high-speed-rail-debt-crisis-deepens/ Remember that Thailand's HS rail system leading to China was initiated and approved by the NCPO under its absolute powers that bypassed any economic review of the project.
  2. Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) is not government-sponsored, but it does offer plans within the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB). The Federal Employee Program (FEP), a BCBS offering, is a nationwide option within the FEHB for U.S. federal government employees and retirees.
  3. If America simply reduced its import needs from Thailand to the level of Thailand exports to America, there would be trade parity according to Trump's trade "formula." But Trump doesn't do "negotiations," he does anger and ego.
  4. Thailand needs to hustle and expand its rice market: South America, Africa aside from South America, Russia? Long a problem with Thailand rice production has been cost of production. The Thai governments over a decade has subsidized rice production costs but never instituted permanent production efficiencies, ie., automation, more equipment handling.
  5. Would be nice to avoid the 3 hour layover in Taiwan for US connection
  6. Thai Airways fleet includes Airbus A320s, A330s, A350s, Boeing 777s (various models), and Boeing 787s.
  7. "Harvard sues Trump administration over efforts to ‘gain control of academic decision-making’," https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/21/harvard-sues-trump-administration The resistance grows: "Multiple Colleges Join Harvard in Fight Against Trump Admin" https://www.newsweek.com/multiple-colleges-harvard-fight-trump-admin-2059807 "A group of U.S. universities sued the Department of Energy on Monday over cuts to federal research funding, joining Harvard University in fighting President Donald Trump's administration."
  8. I don't remember the source but heard that once 'Thailand' is entered as country of residence, all required information following can be skipped. Pending an update to the TDAC form official rollout.
  9. Vietnam faces a 46% tariff by Trump. It's reaction: "Vietnamese exporters reinvent solutions on US’s 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs" https://vietnamnews.vn/economy/1716234/vietnamese-exporters-reinvent-solutions-on-us-s-90-day-pause-on-reciprocal-tariffs.html Vietnamese businesses are taking advantage of this opportunity to implement both short-term and long-term solutions to minimize potential negative impacts. Exploring new markets with growth potential such as India, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Europe. Businesses are working with partners to increase shipments during the 90-day tariff delay period to avoid inventory buildup and higher tariffs if negotiations fail. Meanwhile Trump gets drawn in by Vietnam (Chess vs Checkers). “Trump Organization” moves forward with billion-dollar investment in Vietnam, entering golf course-hotel-real estate business. March 28, 2025, https://en.moneyandbanking.co.th/2025/163526/ Maybe Thailand can learn from Vietnam. Offer Trump real estate and license to build a casino complex. Within a year given Trump's past history with casinos, it will fail and default to Thailand.
  10. Buddhism? "Buddhism and violence" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence
  11. Yes as these drivers seem traditionally to use the roadside to relieve themselves.
  12. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_egg_sizes
  13. I'd be surprised that he has a Thai passport that can be legally confiscated as property of the Kingdom of Thailand. A Chinese passport would be the property of China and theoretically can only be seized by China. But Thai immigration can follow their own ideas of what is internationally legal.
  14. Do your research. Wikipedia alone covers a substantial amount of history related to the history of the Kingdom of Patani. The decades Malay Muslim insurrection was due in part to a reaction to the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand) breaking its peace treaty with the sovereign nation of the Muslim Kingdom of Patani, forcing the annexation of Patani into the Thai Buddhist Kingdom and suppressing its language, religion, customs, traditions, etc. as second class citizens.
  15. No mention of meeting with the insurgent Malay Muslim organizations and to resolve a place plan. That's like going into a boxing ring having one fighter resolve peace with the referee. The other fighter is not invited into the ring.
  16. More of a "magic" plan than a master plan.
  17. Canadian Dollar wherein Canada will export its oil & gas anywhere now except to the US?
  18. BOI office (same floor as Immigration) - Chumchuri square18th Floor 254 Phaya Thai Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 Conveniently located near Samyan MRT station LTR Visa has a dedicated window in Immigration. Phone: 02 209 1100
  19. No different than some of J6 who POTUS pardoned.
  20. Police speculating without any thread of truth or fact. They never seem able to take a neutral position before beginning any investigation. Kind of a form of self-promotion.
  21. Started in earnest in 2013 with PM Yingluck but went proverbially "dead" with the Thai military's overthrow of the Yingluck government in May 2014.
  22. Go ahead and debate by the House. But ... Orders issued by the Head of the NCPO were under Section 44 of the interim Constitution. https://www.ilaw.or.th/articles/16556 Thus, the orders were Constitutional. So it would seem that if the House passes a bill to cancel/amend NCPO issued Orders, it will require review/approval by the Senate majority as a change to the Constitution. I believe the "new" Senate is still in control of the military as created originally by NCPO.
  23. https://www.tripadvisor.com/FAQ_Answers-g147313-d147782-t9633187-Are_you_allowed_to_have_sex_on_the_beach_there.html The Sexual Offences Act 2003 does not specifically state that sex on the beach is illegal. https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22012575/sex-on-beach-laws/
