  1. Shall the nation move on to people who pretend to be unbiased and non-political senators and judges? Say lifetime ban?
  2. Instead of focusing on the efficiency and sustainability of Thailand's national healthcare system facing an aging population, declining birthrate, budget coverage issues and increasing mental health-related problems1, the Senate wants to focus on Thaksin's health. Do the nation a favor and dissolve yourselves to better the health of democracy in Thailand. 1 The number of Thais suffering from mental health problems rose from 1.3 million in 2015 to 2.3 million in 2021, not to mention increasing suicides.

  3. When the foundations for Democracy in Thailand continue to exist only in the People's hearts and minds without a path to sustainable action, Number One becomes a privileged class rather than any one individual.
  4. In your search I suggest that you try to include out patient coverage given your age. Any cancer diagnosis typically associated with elderly ages will require frequent medical services and extensive medication, regardless of whether you're using private or government hospitals. Don't give up!
  5. Either a bouy is required for an accurate array reporting or not is the issue, not how they work, cost or available. Depending on the criticality of position and amount of data missing, replacement should be ASAP - not months later. When the Thai military looks to spend billions on armaments to defend the nation against non-existent foes, there's no reason not to stockpile a couple of these bouys against the real and often unpredictable tsunami threats. I hope this helps.
  6. "A replacement buoy has been procured from the US, expected to be delivered to Thailand in March." Never anticipated a buoy needing replacement? It's like an American football team with a missing guard. Still operational to play but missing the guard opens a vulnerability to succeed. When the military is trying to buy frigates, missiles, submarines, aircraft fighters, etc. having a couple backup tsunami monitoring bouys would seem just as important to the nation's security.
  7. Maybe splitting icicles, but the picture of the winning sculpture appears to be a packed-snow sculpture verses an ice sculpture shown by OP thestat. Ice is translucent.
  8. Charitable foundations in Thailand have apprehension powers versus the RTP? Without police/military involvement such apprehension could be considered kidnapping.
  9. Might have avoided the accident if engaged. Even with just the basic autopilot, if you enable it and don't react to the steering wheel nags, it will slow down to a stop and engage brakes. So likely the drunk driver did not engage self-driving if the option was included (no evidence that is was).
  10. You are not aware that Thailand had forcibly annexed parts of the South that was the Muslim Kingdom of Patani into the Kingdom of Thailand as well as complete Thai governmental subjugation of Islamic culture, traditions and language? So yes, hardly appropriate. But like Russia's forced annexation of Crimea, provided free access to the resources of the Muslim Kingdom.
  11. Maybe as disturbing: Enforcement of articles 22 to 25 of The Act on Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance put into law effective Feb. 22, 2023 was postponed by PM Prayut until October 1. On May 18, 2023 the Constitutional Court ruled the postponement was illegal and must be retroactively effective from February 22, 2023. I've not seen any public announcement to date by the new government and its military surrogates that it has made enforcement of the act operational. Recall also that parts of the South continue under a State of Emergency including martial law and the Internal Security Act, which grants the security forces a lot of (undemocratic) power in the region.
  12. Jan. 9th @ 13:00 AQI 153 average (unhealthy), high of 184. PM2.5@60 μg/microns near Bang Khun Thian District (Rama 2) Regarding air pollution, area probably best known for shopping centers and highways with heavy traffic.
  13. Same way Trump negotiated with the terrorist group Taliban. Give them unilateral Afghanistan's sovereignty without participation of the elected government in exchange for only the Taliban's promise to fight terrorism and committed to full US withdrawal that conveniently fell after the next US POTUS election. And Trump showed good faith by releasing 5,000 captured Taliban terrorists.
  14. If these facilities were financed by Thailand taxpayers, it is the Thai People's facilities managed by the RTM.
  15. Will Thailand's purchase of Chinese submarines with German engines be offered for discussion?
  16. Apparently not from the same pasture that Prayut found after PM.
  17. It would just be a matter of how many slaves Trump can have.
  18. Or get takeout at Hesburger, Barot's, KFC, Taco Bell, McDonald's, etc.
  19. huh? In 1924 the Supreme Court ruled in a case brought by a U.S. citizen living in Mexico that taxing non-resident citizens on their global income was indeed constitutional. https://www.taxesforexpats.com In 1924 Calvin Coolidge won the 35th presidential election.
  20. With regard to US and associated worldwide income, a US taxpayer must pay income tax as earned or received on income during the year by either withholding or making estimated tax payments (ie., monthly/quarterly). Otherwise, there is a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. See Form 2210, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc306 So it might not be surprising that many of US funds transferred to Thailand by American resident expats from the US might have already been taxed beyond such common income sources as government pensions and social security.
