Not at all except when someone obfuscates dialog with off track topics. I agree otherwise regarding acceptance of foreign labor should be welcomed in Thailand both from economic and fertility viewpoints. Trafficking into Thailand wouldn't exist if Thailand government accepted stateless, refugee and otherwise undocumented foreigners into the Thai workforce. Why not make illegal trafficking into a legal migration? Especially when the world's most powerful economy the US continues to punish Thailand for its decades of failure to solve human trafficking into Thailand.

Maybe expat residents voting with their mouth to the proposed income tax on their foreign transfers to Thailand

Birth rate is the number of live births per 1,000 women in the total population. The fertility rate is the average number of children born to women during their reproductive years. Tracking fertility rates provide for more efficient and beneficial planning and resource allocation within a particular region. At 2.08 children per woman, the fertility rate in the US has been continously slightly below the global average of about 2.4 children per woman over the last decade. Compare to Niger of almost 7 children per woman in 2023. Niger followed by almost 20 African nations above 4.0. www.statista.com Thailand needs more African women in Thailand to save the nation's collapsing population!

I don't think they care whether it's a guise or not, just the lost fare.

The award is compensatory and punitive as determined by a jury in reaction to Trump's MAGA cool aid pushed by Giuliani against innocent two poll workers and their families. And no sooner than it was announced, Giuliani immediately defamed the plaintiffs in public again. Now being sued again. What is ridiculous is this man's behavior.

Never mind advancing the wealth of the nation through a higher GDP per capita. Easier to snag more foreign direct investments with no promises in return.

The Ratanakosin-class corvettes are a class of two corvettes that were built for the Royal Thai Navy in the 1980s. HTMS Sukhothai (FS-442) was a corvette of the Ratanakosin class belonging to the Royal Thai Navy. She was launched on July 20, 1987. The primary role of the INS Kadmatt is in anti-submarine warfare. Seems a mismatch. Will there be a guest submarine to be sought?

2+2 = 10 in binary

As a standard deviation, 5% from the norm is essentially zero change.

During PM Prayut's regime he instituted use of palm oil to be used in power generation with the goal of artificially maintaining high palm oil prices in Thailand. Not carbon neutral. Two-thirds of Thailand's power generation uses natural gas both domestic and imported. It currently has 27 coal power plants. Existing fossil fuel plants must be decommissioned to achieve maximum benefit. The National Energy Plan of August 2021 sets goals and action plans for achieving net carbon neutrality by 2070. This includes at least 50% of electricity from renewable sources, etc. Sept. 2021 "Air pollution continues to kill: does Thailand's National Energy Plan offer hope? https://tdri.or.th/en/ The answer currently seems to be "doubtful."

The government migh also use one or more of Thai travel insurance companies for travel claims processing in lieu of the government, avoiding the government to expand its services having no previous experience and costs of administration. In practice the government might use its 50 million baht budget to bulk purchase the travel insurance, ie., from a Thai travel insurance coalition thst CA provide the highest amount of coverage for the least cost. That then benefits Thai travel insurance providers and the Thai government.

So confirmed by an unelected Senate put in place by the Prayut NCPO military coup leadership. Suspiciously undemocratic?

A Supreme Court that ruled Gen. Prayut's 2014 military coup and national directives issued through absolute power was legal?

On the other hand you know nothing about his behavior in Thailand. He didn't appear to be aggressive with arrest and no apparent bar complaint. Just passively depressed.

It seems to me that all we've heard is intent to pass the law taxing foreign income brought into Thailand by Thai citizens and resident foreigners effective Jan. 1, 2024. But I don't recall the bill going to the House of Parliament for even its first reading for a vote, much less a second reading/debate that would follow if amendments or objection is raised. And all that assumes a quorem. Even after House passage mustn't there be approval by the Senate and publication in the Royal Gazette? At this late date, it would be reasonable to defer this bill until 2025.

It wasn't a balance by former PM Prayut who sided with China's rejection to the judgment by an international tribunal in The Hague permanent court of arbitration that in the South China Sea (July 2016, theguardian.com ) rocky outcrops claimed by China - some of which are exposed only at low tide – cannot be used as the basis of territorial claims. some of the waters were “within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, because those areas are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of China”. China had violated the Philippines’ sovereign rights in those waters by interfering with its fishing and petroleum exploration and by constructing artificial islands. Does Srettha support Prayut's decision while he campaigns Pacific rim nations like Japan for closer trade relations? What is Srettha's position regarding the Kuril Islands dispute between Japan and Russia over the ownership of the four southernmost Kuril Islands? His warning is about as poignant as warning of climate change and increasing air pollution in Thailand.

Looks like the car was not delivered home but - "to Chokpaibul Sri Thep Company," maybe as a more secure place for overnight. Then a courtesy drop off at the driver's residence by Chokpaibul Sri Thep towing?

"Inequality fuelling the fire for Thailand’s political change" 11 July 2023 eastasiaforum.otg Author: Thorn Pitidol, Thammasat University "Thailand is going through one of the most significant moments in its recent history. After nine years under military rule, the coalition of political parties opposing the military-backed government achieved a substantial victory in the national election, winning 313 out of 500 seats. The election result signifies an overwhelming rejection of military influence and the general-turned-prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha." Well, except the referenced coalition did not succeed to take over the government because the military appointed Senate refused. Some editorial gems from the article point to likely quick failure or as a minimum lack of practical LONG-TERM solutions that require a progressive, liberal government rejected by the Senate: "Thailand’s level of inequality has long been one of the highest in Southeast Asia. The problem is rooted in policies and institutions that existed before the Prayuth government. "From 2013–2019, the Thai economy grew only 3 per cent on average, making Thailand’s growth rate one of the lowest in Southeast Asia. The slower growth has set limitations on upward mobility, leading to a lack of optimism among the younger Thai generations." Add to this Thailand's historical long-term inadequacy for high quality education and technical training of the low to middle classes. But "Garbage In and Garbage Out" seems the immediate future. Thailand has not become the Hub of ASEAN but rather a dented rim.

Is he authorized by Omega to do anything with the watch other maybe install a new battery? I see nothing as such on the business card. Thus likely the very low cost for servicing.

Maybe, but any purchase via internet is potential financial exposure, hence the bargain prices. Using the Wallet the the extent of exposure is your wallet balance. Top-off is tied to limits you set for your internet daily purchase limit and to your authorizing mobile phone number.

Apparently the civilian wants to keep his head.

And then imagine finding the property had been sold which is why the bank no longer held the deed and why it couldn't find the deed? Possible in Thailand?

"Moreover, the use of LED technology aligns with the municipality’s commitment to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability." Agreed. But it appears powered by an electric grid powered by fossil fuel. LED is easily powered by solar energy and more supportive towards a clean environment.

Particularly since the 2014 military coup, the government has built more bridges into Bangkok, more transportation means into Bangkok, more highways, more shopping malls, more high-rise condos but maybe a park or two. Bangkok needs to be decentralized commercially and governmentally by shifting to further outlying areas. But I believe it's "city planning" has been more about strengthening presence of political-allied enterprises and government offices to maintain Bangkok as political powerhouse than as an environmental safe-haven for human habitat.
