  1. I mean you can't blame them for switching. Who wants to be the last dinosaur? The Dem party will lucky to get 30 seats.
  2. He's defending his party, BJT, and his fellow party member Saksayam Chidchob, the minister of transport. Some would argue that NOT pilfering from the MoT budget would be cause for dismissal based in incompetence.
  3. Exam now just involves a mirror (fogging means you're alive), scissors (so you can style hair) and a list of folks you "know". Wow, Congrats, you're a teacher now go get a loan from the Coop.
  4. Yes, that's the current math. But remember there are not 250 senators, I think the current figure is closer to 200 given deaths, and crimes. And a few might not vote for PPP/UTN coalition, assuming they wake up from their naps. The 126 can be made up of more than one party of course. So bifurcating the existing PPP into two entities PPP with Prawit, and United Thai Nation with Prayuth), and dragging BJT along insures the current regime continues. Seems like a waste of time, money and energy to have an election? But they want to pretend it's a democracy so let them play.
  5. Could be some/many of the twenty-two MILLION people who applied for Welfare Cards in this last round, up from 14.47 million in the previous round. These are in the 300 - 400 baht month range. However politicians like the TwoPs are promising 700 baht per month after they are (re-) elected.
  6. I'm a little surprised that all other news organizations haven't a. filed an Injunction b. filed a FOIA This smells (stinks?) like the Twitter Files?
  7. DeSantis seems like a one-trick pony. It's Culture War all day, every day. And at this rate he'll need to increase the Florida state Defense budget to battle his "war".
  8. In other Kenosha Killer Kyle news... Attorneys allege Kyle Rittenhouse evading being served for civil lawsuit by man he shot Attorneys for a man shot and injured by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 are asking a federal judge to give them more time to serve Rittenhouse with a civil lawsuit, alleging that he is purposefully trying to evade them. Attorneys for Gaige Grosskreutz filed the request on Wednesday, the deadline that U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman had given them to serve the lawsuit on Rittenhouse and the other defendants. Grosskreutz added Rittenhouse as a defendant last week in the lawsuit that also targets the city of Kenosha and local officials. https://madison.com/news/state-and-regional/crime-and-courts/attorneys-allege-kyle-rittenhouse-evading-being-served-for-civil-lawsuit-by-man-he-shot/article_0aa12b3e-f73b-5c61-ba7b-c3c4aada4dc2.html
  9. For someone who's been "cancelled" he sure seems to be getting a lot of attention. And his daily diatribes are available on Youtube. Rant starts at 14:30, I challenge anyone to say this isn't racist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6TnAn7qV1s I knew this chap went off the rails but wow, how many hooded robes does he have in his closet? BTW I do not want to cancel Mr. Adams. In fact, just the opposite, I'd like to see him broadcasting to the world every day.
  10. Yawn. We've seen similar thread starters. The boom, copy and bust cycle in customer retail here is in the DNA. Why are there so many fillintheblank in Thailand? Look on the bright side, your children are learning to count, and do math. Hmm. So you've been in all these shops? With no customers? Lemme guess, you're doing "market research"? How would you even know this?
  11. The Consultant, Amazon Prime, eight ~ 30-ish minute eps. Bingeable. Brilliant 9.5/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj6gQdEyGXI Hello Tomorrow, Apple TV+, also eight ~ 30-ish minute eps. Quirky 9/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyPx64LjdJM Shrinking, Apple TV +, ten ~30-ish minute eps, four dropped, now weekly. Great ensemble, 9.5/10 (so far) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjHfjQDWl1A Three of the best shows I've seen in a while. Awesome start to 2023.
  12. Her first port of entry must have been SFO, that's where was taken into custody, I guess she will be transported back to Michigan after a hearing in California. Mara Schneider, a spokesperson for FBI's Detroit, Michigan field office, told Fox News Digital that Howson arrived in San Francisco on Thursday and is in federal custody. Howson has a bail hearing on Feb. 28, according to Schneider. https://www.foxnews.com/us/michigan-woman-charged-college-students-hit-run-death-returns-us-fleeing-thailand
  13. I have a Samsung A51 (Not 5G). It'a a good phone. It's the only handset I've found which works well with UltraMobile's WiFi Calling option. I bought on Lazada, but from a LazMall Flagship store. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/samsung-galaxy-a53-5g-8128gb-i3643000455-s13684931425.html? There are Samsung shops in most major malls. Jaymart is another option which might meet your requirements? That model may be EOL soon, so not sure if it will still be in stock when you arrive? Maybe suss out some options?
  14. Show me receipts and I'll change my opinion. Exporting cannabis (THC) is pretty much a no-go. The domestic THC market is relatively small. Yes, I've seen photos of MASSIVE farms here, just not sure on who/what the market is? Hemp, for industrial purposes, seems to be the largest segment, followed by CBD (medical, wellness). The THC market gets all the glamour and press, but is small. Yes, there are a few large-ish "cannabis" companies.
  15. I was a bit suspicious when during my 90-day on-line report filing I was offered odds on it being accepted or rejected.
  16. How old are you? The United Nations was founded October 24, 1945. OT: Good for Thailand. Playing both sides is probably advantageous.
  17. The Tobacco Authority of Thailand (TOAT) relocated years ago to an industrial estate in Ayutthaya. Said premises is now the Benjakatti Forest Park, sitting on who knows how much unremidiated soil. In theory the TOAT could assume complete control of alternative cigarettes overnight, utilizing all current tobacco laws, regulations, sales, marketing and distribution. But this may be a bridge too far for "traditionalists" right now?
  18. It's the payoff reward to BJT for joining the coalition government. BJT got MoPH and MoT, and a Chidchob took MoT. The MoT is the "trough-iest" ministry.
  19. Chuwit must have some long-simmering beef with Chai (deceased) and Newin. Taking on a few instances of police coruption is one thing. Going after made-men is probably not a winning strategy.
  20. And yet, with the stroke of a pen he normalized cannabis. He could legalize vaping, but he's choosing no to. He and his party ran on normalizing cannabis. He was wealthy before this, and I'm not sure the rumors of his cannabis profiteering are accurate.
  21. Prompts the question: How many die in Immigration detention facilities?
  22. So that a new party does not have time (within the arcane political party law) to form. The powers that be are not dumb, anymore.
  23. Top 3 Excuses... he married well family land sold off if you ask again I'll file a Defamation charge
  24. There have been arrests for selling without a license. A shop was busted this week in Phuket; no license and having a Russian "employee". Bud-tender must have been added to the list of jobs not available to foreigners? But you are correct, I don't recall any arrests of individuals for buying, possessing or using. And I haven't heard of any issues flying domestically with cannabis. Still allowed as previously published. We would have heard if there were any incidents. There are signs at check-in (BKK), but that's for international departures.
  25. My experience is different than yours.
