  1. The rumor is that Hapkarn doesn't share or play well with others. And that he doesn't remit the percentage of ill-gotten booty upwards. In short, he's skimming, or in the case of these illegal gaming enterprises, not sharing at all.
  2. It sounds like he will be transferred to the California Corrections Department to continue serving his 16-year sentence there for rape. Beats upstate NY (Rome). Not sure this NY reversal will impact his California conviction as the rules of evidence in rape cases is different. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-25/is-harvey-weinsteins-california-conviction-in-jeopardy-after-new-york-appeals-ruling
  3. The Russian judge gives you 8.5 for this Triple-reverse double Delfection. Points were deducted for lack of comprehension of the phrase "trailer trash", and use of a photo of your relative.
  4. So no indignation or disdain heaped on South Korean employers for hiring these Thai workers? Or South Koreans availing themselves of more cost-effective "Personal Services"? Curious.
  5. THE PRESIDENT: His words, not mine. He described the Dobbs decision as a “miracle.” Maybe it’s coming from that Bible he’s trying to sell. (Laughter.) Whoa. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell is in it. (Laughter.) https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/04/23/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-event-tampa-fl-2/ I like how he crossed himself after this comment. Another good zinger... (on the four-year anniversary of trump's legendary presser where he talked about injecting bleach) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ex3DSx_mY Biden is certainly very busy on the campaign trail, visiting multiple states in one day, and making multiple visits in each stop.
  6. India banned Tik Tok in 2020. ~ 200 million users quickly found other outlets to express themselves.
  7. "Government Promises to Ease Traffic Woes on Rama II Road" Right after they solve the air quality issues, and traffic in Bangkok. Given the government's performance on this simple "land-bridge" one can only imagine what that idiotic idea of linking Chumpon and Ranong will look like.
  8. His "higher-ups" are Prawit and Thaksin, among others. The fact that they are not supporting him now is telling. He seems desperate and irrational, which is unusual for him. Filing a complaint against the PM, and then withdrawing a few days later points to this irrationality.
  9. This probably fits into the GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) category, where in some locales (not the U.S.) Pregabalin (Lyrica) is indicated for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in adults. Generalised anxiety disorder The dose range is 150 to 600 mg per day given as two or three divided doses. The need for treatment should be reassessed regularly.
  10. Wow! They went there. An "Anti-Tourism Tax". How "Thai". The excuses for this 300 baht tourist fee have been all over the map in the years since it was advanced. Unpaid medical bills Death/injury benefit Health insurance Tourism Development Fund Coral reefs And there is never any detail on how this "fund" will be administered, and if public transparency will be provided. A nine billion baht annual slush fund seems ripe for corruption.
  11. Random thoughts... Cholnan is said to be being removed as Minister of Public Health in an expected cabinet reshuffle. Interesting that he took such quick and decisive action on this. Was there any public/professional input requested/considered for this change? Who/which organizations of health-care providers were agitating for this change? For cannabis, there was a 120 day waiting period from Gazetting. This change is "immediate". Curious. Which treatment(s) are being considered for these two substances? Who will be doing any "research"? Who will produce the "mushrooms"? Who will produce the opium? How would it be consumed?

  15. The "general" consensus is that this was staged by Hapkarn himself. But yes, he is unpopular in the RTP given his rapid rise in the owing to elephant tickets, and strong family connections. He is 5 ~ 6 years ahead of classmates.
  16. Trump stories are rarely over. Assuming he loses the appeal the next step will be Knight trying to get paid by Trump. And if he wins on appeal he won't pay the interest. Litigation between Trump and Knight will ensue.
  17. Imagining what would happen if the assault victim had been a Thai, woman, doctor, with connected parents.
  18. This is the farthest Hapkarn has fallen. In his previous three serious brushes with accountability, the most he got was a written reprimand. I'm surprised Thaksin has allowed him to accuse the PM, given the family connection, and political implications.
  19. As part of a deal struck during a 20-minute recess, lawyers for Trump and Knight Specialty Insurance Company agreed to keep the $175 million in a cash account that will gain interest but faces no downside risk. The account so far has grown by over $700,000. https://apnews.com/article/trump-civil-fraud-trial-appeal-bond-9c727602732c683fde6edd64879611e7
  20. While the hosting fee is not that much, ~ $50 million USD, the total cost to stage the event is likely to be ~ $125 million USD. And the practicality? Dubious. The PM has lofty goals, and that's a good thing. But like many of his idiotic proposals (land-bridge, digital wallet) he fails to pass the bluster stage.

  22. New York AG says $175 million Trump fraud bond isn’t properly backed, should be voided The New York Attorney General’s office on Friday asked a judge to effectively void a $175 million bond posted by former President Donald Trump to secure a much larger monetary damage award in his civil business fraud case as he appeals the judgment. The AG’s office in a filing said Trump and other defendants in the case had failed to show there is enough identifiable collateral to back the bond for the judgment in Manhattan Supreme Court. The filing notes that the surety Trump used to obtain the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, is “a small insurer that is not authorized to write business in New York and thus not regulated by the state’s insurance department, had never before written a surety bond in New York or in the prior two years in any other jurisdiction, and has a total policyholder surplus of just $138 million.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/19/new-york-ag-says-175-million-trump-fraud-bond-isnt-properly-backed-should-be-voided.html
  23. Did you use the magnifying glass option - after entering your passport number and country of origin - to auto-fill from your previous filing? Have you filed a TM 30 on the NEW online system?
