Thailand and Germany Launch Joint Project to Support Carbon Neutrality

So no submarine engine then? -
Thaksin’s stay at police hospital extended by Corrections Department
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
OPINION: “I’m a pooyai!” – The dilemma of “respect” in Thai culture
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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.- 40 replies

Has there ever been a final report on the sinking of the HTMS Sukhothai? -
New TM30 Registration Web Site
bamnutsak replied to BKK57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
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.

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.

Thai Workers in Israel Plea for Help to Return Home Amid Conflict
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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/ -
As soon as I stepped outside yesterday my throat was scratchy and I started coughing. Today looks worse.

Government Addresses Debts of Workers Returning from Israel
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Opposition to the government’s digital wallet scheme growing

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. -

Russian Tourist Arrested in Pattaya for Causing a Public Nuisance
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
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. -
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
