Former PM Thaksin still under care of Police General Hospital
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Prelude to him being transferred to Praram 9 hospital. The Shinwatra family is a majority shareholder in Praram 9 hospital. Just need some time to spruce up the two top floors. I think a Pardon will come in multiple steps, shaving a few years off the sentence, but a full Pardon might be months or years away. -
The former president was listed as 6-feet 3-inches, 215 pounds, with 'strawberry or blond hair' and blue eyes. I think these can be self-reported. Or maybe Dr, Jackson helped?

What that means is that you can NOT provide your own self-addressed, stamped envelope to be used to return your old and new passports. Instead you must purchase a service, for 100 THB from Thai Post, who will mail the envelope to the Embassy on your behalf. You then provide proof of payment in your application package. You can purchase this service on line, while some report you can also do it at a Thai PO counter, YMMV. https://www.thailandpostmart.com/product/1013460000929/Courier-Pass-Back-envelope/ You also need to pay the $130 fee via Pay.gov, no more local Thai bank money orders. There have been quite a few recent threads on this subject scattered about here in different sub-forums. A search would give more detail.

Sickly Thaksin Involved Hands-On In Allocation Of Cabinet Portfolios

Meh. Why did it take him 17 years to return, if he's so masterfully brilliant? . -

Who will he issue orders to? Big Joke, the next national police chief? Judiciary? RTA? ISOC? Those are the organizations that will be needed to push back against the Monarchy reform trends. -
Discussion about Cabinet Seats Not a Big Issue, Says Anutin
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The distribution of the 35 cabinet positions (20+15) was haggled at one per eight or nine MPs. Hence the additional 16 means BJT gets an extra one or two of these positions. A smart, if sleazy and un-democratic, move. He also has been pushing for those holding Ministries to optionally retain them, but I'm not sure he's been successful (yet). MoT and MoPH are desirable, but given Saksayam Chidchob's "difficulties" at the MoT - I think he's been temporarily relieved of duties owing to potential conflicts of interest - that may not be possible. PTP has expressed an interest in MoPH where they could easily reverse Cannabis normalization with an "order", although I don't think they will. -
Thaksin Slightly Better But Still Needs Oxygen, Room Cooled By Fans

I wonder what will happen to his seized assets and his frozen assets? He had a favorable decision from the Central Tax Court last year. -

I think his number one task will be to put the "Monarch Reforms" toothpaste back in the tube. That will be challenging, as he has no real power, and will require a harsh clamp-down on any perceived anti-Monarchy sentiments. -

According to the current Constitution, the King is the Head of State, and his power is unlimited. He can grant pardons anytime he wishes. It is weird that Wissanu appears to be speaking for the King, and applying limits to his authority. All that said, it is far too early to discuss a pardon, which might come in the form of multiple pardons, reducing the sentence each time, over a period of months or even a year. -
Srettha govt expected to assume office by end of September : Wissanu

Why the rush? Seriously, this is a joke, right? -
Srettha Officially Appointed as Prime Minister
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I hope he understands what he got himself into. Other than the usual platitudes - work hard, for the people - he has rarely come across as someone who has articulated his core beliefs re: the many issues facing Thailand and its citizens. Unless he has a lot more support than has so far been indicated, he may not last long. Let's see how the "10,000 Baht Digital Wallet" legislation progresses. -

Least surprising bit of news so far in this "election" debacle. The amount of wheeling and dealing for ministries, and the associated 'troughage' must have been staggering. Thaksin is probably the only one who could herd these cats. Next up, decapitate MFP. -
Thaksin Slightly Better But Still Needs Oxygen, Room Cooled By Fans
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I assume they're still preparing his accommodations at the family-owned/operated Praram 9 Hospital? I'm not certain who they (Courts/RTP/Thaksin) think the audience is for this charade, but absolutely no one believes he suddenly became ill within a few hours of his return. The lengths they are going to to describe the lodging conditions, and his multiple health issues is an indication of prevarication. Illness(es) are just being used as one of several grounds for a Pardon. Baby steps. Just 10 years ago "amnesty" threw the country into a convulsive fit. Now, not so much. -
He looked chipper on the G650 yesterday. It would be better if they just skipped to the end part where he is Pardoned, but banned from Politics for at least 10 years.

For online purchases, the seller asks for proof of payment, usually shared in a Messenger or LINE chat. I used to do a screen grab, but screen grabs with SCB Easy yield a black screen. This is not a Settings (App or Android) issues. I assume this is limited within the SCB App for security reasons. Yes, the payment slip can be shared from within the SCB Easy app across many/most applications including LINE, Messenger, etc. The payment slip can be regenerated from the History "tab". Yes, payment slips are stored locally in /Pictures/SCB EASY (Android).

Trump says he will be arrested on Thursday in Georgia election case
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Can't wait to hear what his weight and height are. North of 300? Please remove your lifts. -
The alleged assailant was confronted by the police subsequently, and he died in an exchange of gunfire. The suspected killer, who is now deceased, was identified as Travis Ikeguchi, 27, Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a news conference on Monday evening. After allegedly shooting Carleton, the suspect fled the crime scene on foot, but was found by sheriff's deputies several miles from her store, where he was fatally shot in a confrontation, authorities said. The sheriff's office said the assailant was armed with a handgun, which authorities said Monday night was a Smith & Wesson 9mm automatic handgun, and refused orders to drop the weapon. When deputies tried to apprehend the suspect, he reportedly shot at them and they fired back. Despite using lifesaving measures, the suspect died at the scene, the sheriff said Monday. https://abcnews.go.com/US/california-store-owner-shot-dead-dispute-displaying-pride/story?id=102408818

There are reports that he will be taken to the Supreme Court, where I assume he will be granted bail, and released perhaps with some limitations. Adjudication of his various sentences can come at a later date after he's held up his part of the deal. A Royal Pardon would come later after the initial buzz has died down. His years in exile will be used to justify no jail time.
