Wouldn't a shrine and ceremony at the cave be more relevant? But then it would not it be the Minister of the Interior who would lead the ceremony and not the Airport Director? Part of the role of the MoI is emergency management, ie., within Thailand lands.

Math teacher Beyond the intelligence of most negative posters?

This policy is directed towards "foreign tourists." What about expats living in Thailand for long stay? History shows no differentiation with dual pricing, no matter the visa nor wealth of the foreigner.

Or link to current daily currency exchange rate. However, a floor rate would be established to rate slways remain favorable to Thailand.

What can you expect of government leadership that originates from military coups? Add to that a culture of state-owned enterprises, government officials/military on the board of directors of alleged private enterprises or direct government oversight of alleged free enterprises.

There are times I wish Thai programmers (assuming they do not based on my experience) would beta test their e-systems intended for foreigners first with foreigners before release. Not only for filling in required data but also for logic of sequential steps. Not all foreigners are equal with regard to language tradition and culture. In the subject case, what if the foreigner has no middle name or a hyphenated last name? Would that reject the application?

July 1, about 57 rubles to US$1. Makes Thailand look like an economic powerhouse.

Well Mr. Chief Obvious, if the police force must be warned, better extend your warning to hospitals, ambulance drivers, military on duty, MP's sitting in Parliament, travelling motorbike/auto taxi drivers, etc.

As an aside, if you qualify for the new 10-year LTR visa (available for registration Sept. 1), you need no re-entry permit.

If Russia is willing to accept Thai chickens and durian fruit in payment - it would be a perfect exchange.

Health insurance is key factor for me. If the US$50,000 coverage can be provided by a foreign health insurance provider, I will consider the LTR. Currently, my foreign health insurance is paying 50k baht per month for my medical treatment to a Thai hospital. My annual premium nor age is not affected by this cost.

Translation: The bail-out plan prevents massive loans. It's not an option for the airline nor the government as a stakeholder.

An EV joint venture with a Thsiland state-owned enterprise will have the success of Thai Airways. Zero. Meanwhile, BYD (ranked worldwide #3 in 2021 for EV sales) will be exporting its EV's into Thailand (currently zero import tax) and Indonesia will host world's largest EV manufacturer (2021) in global units sold with American privately-owned Tesla, Inc., including a battery factory. Not sure why unranked EV manufacturer Foxconn is interested in EV manufacturing in Thailand when it plans to build EV factories in much more lucrative US, Europe and India markets by allegedly 2024. Foxconn's Thailand EV deal seems more of a Taiwan-to-Thailand government deal than a commercially motivated enterprise. Aka politics?

The Mig 29 is a formable fighter vs F-16 in a "one circle engagement." F-16 favors a "two circle engagement." But two F-16's vs one Mig 29 in visual range (vs BVR), the Mig 29 is dead no matter the manner of engagement.

Unlikely as he may have a freedom of speach issue. Last year he was sentenced by the Criminal Court to five years for his role in street rallies to force PM Yingluck out of office. Other PDRC leaders were sentenced from five to 11 years.

While trying to decide where to wear a mask, remember May-September is fluenza season. If you didn't get your 2022 flu vaccination, best to wear a mask in crowds or where there's no social distancing, ie., BTS/MRT/buses.

Marijuana is now treated as a market product in Thailand. So now the crime should be illegal importation (avoiding Thai customs), not illegal drugs. If the 500k is abandoned, it becomes the property of Thailand customs for disposition.

March 2022 US inflation 8% vs Thailand 5%. If you receive USD and live in Thailand, you're ahead (but avoid foreign food imports). Especially if you receive COLA adjustments to US incomes/pensions/social security. The effect of a US "crashing stock market" is relative to the degree of investment in the market. Low to zero investment will be unaffected by a crash. Note that a typical plunge in the US stock can lead to explosive economic recovery. An attentive and proactive stock market strategy (ie., short/long positions, diversification) might minimize immediate market losses and take advantage of undervalued stocks.

According to some sources: Anand Panyarachun 1991-92 (a total 514 days as PM). He was an unelected royalist but a liberal. But he wouldn't fit PM Prayut's ideology: "Thainess, I don't like the term - it's a myth." ref. Biography of Anand Panyarachun.

In April 2022 the Region 5 Appeals Court on Wednesday handed over to the Treasury Department a 89-rai plot of land at the foot of Doi Suthep. This land was originally a gift from military ownership* to the Court of Appeals (a traditional conflict of interest?). I believe the original deal between protesting public leaders (ie., The Network) and the Prayut government was that as a minimum all residences (45 houses and nine flats) would be removed with Appeal Court courts & offices remaining. In place would be reforestation. Albeit now it appears that the land will be used or developed in line with the "local community's initiative" with a "provincial committee" to carry out the restoration. The government had four months then to vacate the occupied and partially built residences and begin removing associated infrastructure. It's almost July - what's been accomplished? * In Thailand the RTM can hold legal title and economic benefit to natural resources and enterprises separate from Thai federal government title. In some ways the RTM enjoys independent sovereignty from the traditional (ie'; elected) Thai people's government.

For all EV's provide free annual license renewal. Decentralized Bangkok as a ICE vehicle destination. ICE motor traffic is the largest polluter in the world. And Bangkok, especially under the Prayut regime, has encouraged inxreased ICE traffic through in part centralization of businesses and government.

Elevate the U-Turn as on the freeways.

The Prayut government doesn't break a sweat from events kicked this and the events name great "window dressing " for Thailand measured tolerance for refugees, ie., whatever complies with China policies.

Isn 't Switzerland considering membership in NATO because of Russian War against Ukraine?

6 in 10 is 60%. For comparison, somewhat higher than the popular vote where 51.3% voted for Biden vs 46.8% for Trump ( a 7M difference). Might be the 11/6 Commission's public presentations are turning some Trump supporters away from Trump. If prosecuted by DOJ, trial would be in Washington DC where I suspect a jury isn't going to be swayed by Trump's MAGA histrionics. Nor would the Court of Appeals.
