  1. Regarding the Long Term Resident visa, the "Wealthy Pensioner" is defined as having a minimum annual income of $80,000 or about 212,000 baht per month.
  2. The constitution is the junta charter. The People did not vote in the junta.
  3. I look forward to Srettha giving Biden a bow as befitting a superior statesman.
  4. Get a frigate and all the Thai submariners will need more training. But at least they will already be familiar with a ship that goes under.
  5. That's appropriate but it's not a Public Hearing per se unless it's open to the public, ie., citizens that could be potentionally affected adversely by the 4am closure. Hold a "Town Hall" meeting with the Public as well Pol. Maj. Gen. Nanthawut.
  6. My experience going through Thailand Suvarnabhumi airport security to international departures is that the blade 3" length limit for carryon is cumulative. If you have more than one blade in the Swiss Army knife piece, the blade lengths are added, ie., two 3" blades gives 6" - not allowed. In my case the agent mistook a nail file being same length as the 3" knife blade in the piece and not allowed. When I showed the agent the "blade" had no cutting edge and had a filing surface - no problem.
  7. Must be a lot of Brooklyn Bridges in Nakhon Phanom.
  8. How nice. Thai police welcoming Thsi police. Seeing there is a State of Emergency still in effect in the South since Gen. Prayut's 2014 coup, no warm gathering can be demonstrated by citizens the majority of which are Malay Muslim.
  9. Agreed. My personal experience bring transferred between two hospitals 25km apart during a week day having significant leg surgery the day before, siren blared out for the whole trip. As there was no urgency in the relocation and given the ear splitting shrillness of the siren, I asked the siren be turned off. No.
  10. No majority committee resolution with the community owners, no go-ahead to operate 24 hours.
  11. This new government's relationship with the military is very defined.
  12. This needs to be settled first. Going forward, a special airport district should be created whereby nearby impacted communities (TBD) will receive an annual percentage of airport net revenues reflected by extended operations without delays.
  13. Oh please, enough with the sarcasm. 😃
  14. Hardly. There are 156 countries having 2,160 casinos in the world (discounting Thailand reported with two, most likely horse betting and national lottery). Nearby is Vietnam (40), Singapore (10), Malaysia (6 ), Cambodia (63) and Mayanmar (6). Many Indonesians gamble in Malaysia and Singapore. A little further away is China (Macau), Japan, Australia and Philippines. The USA leads the world with over two thousand casinos. https://www.worldcasinodirectory.com It's more a race for money that will fill government coffers without burdening its citizens, ie., higher taxes. Thus, able to provide more government assistance to its citizens. A key to corruption-free casinos is monitoring, detecting and prosecution of casino corrupt activities. Even Chinese citizens among the world's most prolific gamblers get ensnared by foreign casino corruption. So before Thailand rushes to casino riches, it must have in place an uncorruptible system in place. That is the real challenge.
  15. Thus, ISOC would seem to be unconstitutional to Chapter One Section 2 of the Constitution, "Thailand adopts a democratic regime of government..." If the military objects to disbandonment of ISOC, elevate the matter to the Constitutional Court.
  16. At least Paetongtarn never endorsed military coups to overthrow elected governments. A bow earned is a bow deserved.
  17. ISOC might be seen as the equivalent of the soviet communist political commisar system with a twist as in Thailand it not only reached into the rank and file of the military but into to political grassroots of the country's civil governance system. It doesn't belong in a democratic governance system.
  18. Only Mikado available with as of now 11 seats.
  19. Unfortunately very realistic. Compared to 15 of the fastest growing countries in Asia with a minimum 4.2% (Timor-Leste) to 6.2% (Cambodia & Vietnam). Other nearby countries Malaysia 4.4%, Indonesia 5% and Philippines 5%. Thailand had reached an all-time high of 9.4% in 2012Q1. Then followed eight years of military governance led by Prayut who recently declared "Thailand's finances are 'strong and stable' ...' www.nationthailand.com Might be time to realign and subsume the military budget to the People's immediate needs.
  20. Publicity didn't hurt a certain foreign stand-up comedian become president did it Putin?
  21. I have the same experience with Chase credit card on overseas purchases and sends a message to my email address for confirmation.
  22. Careful what you dream. "When Dreams Become Nightmares" by Abandon All Ships: ( partial lyrics out of context) You thought you had me fooled You've fallen victim to, the lie and it's just me and you.
  23. "export hopes bloom in Q4" Hope never fails does it?
