  1. My guess? "Approximately" ten. The remaining ~ four passed away in Songkhla?
  2. I think they need to release some details on the convict's medical condition(s). Yes, I know they've invoked privacy concerns but the convict is a public figure, and the public needs to be assured that the "system" is not being bent in his favor. I recall many times when Rama 9 was hospitalized when Doctors gave lengthy briefings on his condition. Even general statements like "his health is improving/stable/getting worse". Radio silence on this matter does no one any good, even the convict.
  3. You do realize how Monarchs are chosen, right? The fake nature of "Respect" here, and it's all for show, and its abuse, is part of the Thai social contract. Without it, society would collapse. At least that's what the the folks near the top of the pyramid want you to beleieve.
  4. Has there ever been a final report on the sinking of the HTMS Sukhothai?
  5. You have a previously filed TM30 on the old system? Right? That should (may?) be sufficient. And you could try to refile on the new system, seems like you didn't get through it on your first try, based on your details in other threads?
  6. This is probably reporting office-dependent, so best to ask there. Personally, I filed a new one on the new system. I'd try to file again, on the new system and get through to the "Informed" success screen (In the Inform Status" box), the do a screen grab of that screen and the "Search" screen which shows individual, multiple records.
  7. Yeah sure. Far less congested than any canal. Far less congested than some convoluted "land bridge". "Dangerous"? Potential piracy which Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore will deal with. Piracy losses on the Ranong-Chumphon route will be much greater. This whole idea is just silly. If it's such a good idea then the government would finance it and reap the (cough) "rewards". Two new ports, loading, unloading at both, transshipment of oil and LNG? Pipelines (they always leak), roads, rail lines, come on, this is a punchline to the joke that begins with the words "Can I sell you a Kra Isthmus Canal." No? OK, how about a landbridge? Pipedream.
  8. NACC responds... "What "findings"?
  9. This smells more like a cover-up than an investigation or a crack-down. What happened to Chada Thaiset's color-coded list? And why is the Ministry of the Interior involved in a corruption investigation?
  10. So now it becomes clear that a submarine is not essential to the mission. And the MoD/RTN says surface ships can fulfill the mission. from the linked article... Sutin said that the RTN and the Defence Ministry have agreed that the submarine procurement must be reviewed, based on the worthiness of the project vis-à-vis its price tag. This one will go down - not literally - in history as the biggest folly for the Thai military-idiocy complex.
  11. In some other press on this matter, Srettha committed to finishing this project (in 2039), and he also said it would save 5 - 9 days. And require twice as many ships. I'll have what he's smoking.
  12. Worked for me just now, 16:55.
  13. What is your reporting office? Given the Holiday on Monday maybe make an appointment - the email OTP is working again - for next Wed, Thu or Fri to file in person?
  14. So tell me again that this isn't Human Trafficking. The Thai and Israeli governments should be ashamed. The published figure is 30,000. Some 30,000 Thai farmhands were employed in Israel until the war with Hamas broke out, with around 5,000 of them working in communities close to the Gaza Strip, where 75% of the country’s vegetables are grown. https://www.timesofisrael.com/thai-laborers-the-working-hands-of-israeli-farming-pay-with-blood/
  15. As soon as I stepped outside yesterday my throat was scratchy and I started coughing. Today looks worse.
  16. Note that they were recruited by the Ministry of Labor, as part of the Government - to - Government scheme agreed to by Thailand and Israel. The Thai government is complicit in this worker relo program so it only makes sense that they offer some sort of debt relief.
  17. Stick a fork in this one. I mean it was a non-starter from the get-go, but reality has set in. Massive loss of face for Srettha and Thaksin.
  18. For me, the OTP usually comes through via email within ~ 15 seconds. It worked earlier today for me. But not working now. Must be some problem, why am I not surprised. from this morning, I use gmail, arrives in Primary mailbox.

  19. I just noticed this BTS next train status info. Opposite platform LCD. Chit Lom, outbound. Seemed accurate. Never noticed it before.
  20. Definitely Monday 23 October. Immigration Offices closed. Chulalongkorn Day, a National Holiday.
  21. Ya Ice, AKA Crystal Meth. Wednesday morning, so he was probably tweaking. What does tweaking mean in slang? Slang. behaving in a wildly excited or agitated manner, especially as an effect of using methamphetamine, cocaine, or other stimulant drugs: He was pacing around and bursting in and out of emotional fits like a tweaking junkie. If he was smoking Cannabis he'd be in bed, or at the local All-English Breakfast establishment.
  22. My take... not a lot of history is taught here so folks are generally unaware of the rich political history. That's done for a reason, obviously. And I think people are shocked at the difference between then and now, re: development. There are a lot of vintage photos of Thailand on FB, often they show them in the "then and now" format side-by-side with dates. https://www.google.com/maps/@13.8747722,100.5933033,1115m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu
