  1. I did find another news source that said he was under "treatment" but did not specify.
  2. "despite exercising regularly, to raise public awareness of the disease." What does exercising have to do with treating cancer as this statement seems to imply? Types of Treatment Surgery. An operation where doctors cut out cancer tissue. Chemotherapy. Using special medicines to shrink or kill the cancer. ... Radiation therapy. Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer. Targeted therapy. Using drugs to block the growth and spread of cancer cells. https://www.cdc.gov › basic_info Must be more the this story than air pollution.
  3. Like in Britain and Scandinavian countries, the Japanese monarch does not have a political function. The Emperor must have the advice and approval of the cabinet." Since Japan became a democracy after WW2, there have been always peaceful transfer of power via elections. No military coups. Srettha might think how Japanese democracy and its constitution might apply to Thailand.
  4. I doubt they have any voting privileges in UK. So it's the Brit Parliament that's discriminatory to put down the Brit people.
  5. "Authorities are working to determine the factors leading to incident and will proceed in accordance with the law." Looking at "Safety Issues of Bus Transport in Thailand - A Lesson Learnt From an In-Depth Accident Investigation," by Lamduan Srisakda 2010 https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org Conclusion in part: "Several concerns on the integrity of bus structures, seats, and passenger restraints, precautions in case of bus fire, bus brake system and its maintenance standards and cares need to be addressed urgently." (my bold) In 2022 about 30 people not including insurgents were killed in Thailand's Deep South related to the Malay Muslim insurgency or about an average of 2.5 per month. Do you think double deck tour bus deaths in Thailand has as much government priority than the insurgency? Just compare the decades State of Emergency and military budgets for the insurgency to the government transportation for bus safety and you'll see what lives matter.
  6. Like Russia's miscalculation of Ukraine's military strength? Iran military is nowhere near Russia's military strength which is being beaten down by Ukraine using largely surplus NATO/US military supplies. Does Iran really want to escalate to the extent of direct US military confrontation?
  7. I suggest low income housing infrastructure.
  8. Maybe they can share a submarine.
  9. Why not do your job and consult with real traffic engineers for traffic solutions? Key principles of traffic engineering: traffic planning, traffic analysis, traffic signal design and timing and roadway design. Underlining such engineering studies is real time traffic data. https://www.greenlighttrafficengineering.com Expectations, hope and desire are not scientific elements.
  10. "Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote" But not by 2/3's House Republicans. Majority power trumps guilt.
  11. You mean like Republicans wanting to impeach POTUS Biden without any evidence or criminal conviction? Congress is a political organization and not a prosecution or judicial organization. Two-thirds of the House and of the Senate has poliyical power to excel members.
  12. New late closures beyond midnight such as to 4am should require non-alcoholic designated driver or taxi transport. Can't prove safe ride, end of alcoholic orders.
  13. Lost when you find it's untrue, you can't lose what didn't exist.
  14. Use a free tourist visa. You don't need a resident type visa.
  15. Leukemia is a blood cancer that is a genetic mutation of DNA chromosomes transmitted through bone marrow. It is not a sudden cancer but if not detected, ie, through annual checkups. It might seem sudden only because one ignores a number of physical signs that should indicate something is wrong with the body. It's remission can take years with expensive medications or ultimately million USD dollar stem cell treatment. It is why you need healthcare insurance.
  16. Yet not any objection to Thai subjugation of the Islamic Kingdom of Patani and decades suppression of Malay Muslim insurrection. Duplicity is thy name.
  17. That's more GDP growth you'll see versus billions invested in light rail/high speed rail over next 20 years where potential for default is likely.
  18. If you were arrested and incarcerated, healthcare is not an option but an obligation of the authorities. They assume responsibility for the welfare of the arrested.
  19. As Yingluck transferred the official to the Office of the PM, she really didn't sack him from the perspective of removing him from government. He list no benefits, just power. Such transfer was within her authority. What galled her political opposition was that she replaced him with a relative who was qualified for the position. Nepotism! Abuse of Power! Yet, when PM Prayut appointed HIMSELF also as Minister of Defense and supervisor of Department of Special Investigations - all quiet on the Asian front.
  20. Likely irrelevant and frivilous joke "Why is the number '9' like a peacock? It's nothing without its tail." https://humornama.com/jokes/peacock-jokes/
  21. Make that 'Thailand's oldest failed political party'
  22. What do you expect from the UN where it has no authority? Especially in a country that refuses to be a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and lost its UN Human Rights designation in 2014 after the military coup? Thailand sends North Korean refugees back to North Korea and Uyghur refugees back to China. The UNHRC in Thailand can only advise the government on treatment of refugees.
  23. Trump also didn't include the King of Jordan who had UN administrative authority over the West Bank. Trump did try to include Hamas but only to the extent of offering them bribes to concede sovereignty which they refused.
  24. What is beyond TAT's control is the state of the Chinese economy that makes free/extended visas and enhanced visit assistance almost irrelevant. For example among many: "China’s economy is in trouble. Here’s what’s gone wrong" Analysis by Laura He, CNN, August 23, 2023 "Is China's economy a 'ticking time bomb'?" Published BBC.com 30 August 2023 TAT needs to further diversify tourism sources aligned with current healthy economies, albeit few at this time. There are few 'golden geese' currently worldwide that might provide quick Thai economic recovery involving tourism. Other sources are the historical economic GDP bedrock Services and Exports that (to me ) were supplanted by PM Prayut's almost decade focus instead on Chinese tourism.
