German president’s state visit to Thailand after 22 years sparks hope
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
However, PM Prayut and his Foreign Minister did hold talks with Chancellor Merkel in Germany in 2018 to elevate Thailand-Germany relations for industry, research and human relations development. Both countries have a parliamentary system of government in which the Prime Minister is head of state. But the German president (re-elected in 2022) has authority to act politically, especially in international relations. I suspect that the German president will co-op with the German chancellor on any deals with Thailand where the Bundestag is concerned. -

It's an EU ban that would apply to Germany. The US itself has a ban that, I'm sure, expects EU nations to respect. Especially with China's general support in Russia's war with Ukraine. However, I can see political leverage the EU and US can apply pressure on China to minimize any zeal China has towards supporting Russia's war in relaxing done of the ban. -

Certain political parties want to see the Constitutional Court ban what might be termed Opposition parties (to pro-military coalition parties)/Progressive Democratic Parties. Why such an idea that in a constitutional monarchy state exists may be found in the Venice Commission's "Guidelines on Prohibition and Dissolution of Political Parties and Analogous Measures" dated December 11, 1999. https://www.venice.coe.int/webforms/documents/default.aspx?pdffile=CDL-INF(2000)001-e Of the 61 Member States and 4 Observer States to the Venice Commission guess who isn't a Member: Thailand. https://www.venice.coe.int/WebForms/members/countries.aspx?lang=EN No States within South East Asia either. -

It's an interagency issue of Face. The Navy wants the sub likely after the army and air force seem to get all the toys during PM Prayut's regime. -

Maybe be used as a ferry or tourist attraction on the Chao Phraya River. -
Don't let this project become another local and national issue like the construction of housing for judges on the forested foothills of Chiang Mai's Doi Suthep mountain through a donation by the Military without any public review of the project. There the 1,250 protesters focused on environmental issues having been ignored in the transfer of land possessed by the military. Just as the local community was ignored in PM Prayut's creation of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). You otherwise continue to associate yourselves with military prerogatives.

Surge in Covid-19 infections and rising death toll in Thailand

Your flu vaccination 3 years ago Likely won't protect you now. That's the nature of viruses - they continously mutate, sometimes for the worse. That's science. -
What is meant by an "Israeli man?" "The State of Israel maintains a national population registry in which every resident is classified by both "citizenship" and "nationality. The citizenship of all Israelis is listed as "Israeli." However, under "nationality," they are defined as belonging to different ethnic and religious groups, among them Jewish, Arab, and Druze." In an October 2013 decision, the Israeli Supreme Court denied the request to recognize "Israeli" as a nationality, and gave several essential reasons for supporting a specific "Jewish" nationality over a general "Israeli" nationality.

Opposition believes Srettha government lacks a strategy

Simply put ... what ever strategy former PM Prayut wanted but never delivered. -
A very few times that happened to me, the cashier would look at me first for a response ... so up to me to decide. More often I will ask a Thai behind me (and no one else) with one or two shopping items cut in when I have a cart full of items. It usually confuses them.

Not surprised if Russians. Moscow Times, April 2, 2019: More than one-fifth of Russian households do not have access to indoor plumbing, according to official statistics obtained by the RBC news website on Tuesday. Russia leads the developed world with the worst sanitation record, according to the London-based WaterAid NGO. A 2012 estimate citing official data placed the number of Russians whose households are only equipped with outhouses at 35 million, or roughly a quarter of the population.

Check Long-Term Resident visa if you qualify. No foreign bank transfers required, no minimum bank balance required, no bank letter, annual vs 90-day extension notification. -

Aside, if you're an American you must report certain foreign financial accounts, such as bank accounts to the Treasury Department.

Maybe first get a handle on the background to low minimum wages before discussions. Good read in the following May 4, 2021 article: "Minimum Wages in ASEAN for 2021, Posted by ASEAN Briefing Written by Ayman Falak Medina https://www.aseanbriefing.com/news/minimum-wages-in-asean-for-2021/ "Minimum wage rates across ASEAN countries are rising gradually to match the region’s increased cost of living and boost domestic demand. However, due to the pandemic, many ASEAN members did not raise their minimum wages or did not raise them significantly." "Despite rising salaries, minimum wages in the majority of ASEAN countries remain significantly lower than those in the developed economies of the world."

What is the reason for intrusion? Uncontrolled elephant births, over population, inadequate sanctuary space, etc.? You can't solve a problem without knowing the parameters of the problem. Expand the sanctuary area. Export elephants to foreign sanctuary areas. Culling to reduce elephant population that might not be politically or socially acceptable. Birth control for elephants, immunocontraception, a form of reducing births via vaccination of female elephants using porcine zona pellucida. https://ohiostate.pressbooks.pub/sciencebites/chapter/elephant-contraception-possible-solution-for-south-africas-elephant-problem/
