Actually, the Thai consitution "suggests" these are rights, but then also severely limits them, so no, he's wrong. And of course, in Thailand, some people have more rights than others, depending on where they are situated in the Thai social pyramid structure. As regards the rights and liberties of the Thai people, in addition to the rights and liberties as guaranteed specifically by the provisions of the Constitution, a person shall enjoy the rights and liberties to perform any act which is not prohibited or restricted by the Constitution or other laws, and shall be protected by the Constitution, insofar as the exercise of such rights or liberties does not affect or endanger the security of the State or public order or good morals, and does not violate the rights or liberties of other persons.

The Prayut regime has had a digital welfare system in place since 2017. Currently some 14.5 million participate with monthly stipends in the 200 - 800 baht range. The Prayut regime has been handing out agricultural subsidies to farmers since 2017. Credit to government employees has been extended far beyond reasonable percentages, by banks and coops, under the Prayut regime. It's weird that academics, and other critics, all of a sudden think welfare is a bad thing when a populist party "suggests" this as a platform.

10,000-Baht Digital Wallet For Each Thai Pledged In Pheu Thai Campaign
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think it's an app. For those without a phone app vendors/lenders can facilitate. 15% - 30% VAT is supposed to be 10%, it's been "legislated" down to 7% "temporarily". Set to rise to 10% on 30 September 2023, but it will be suppressed again. -
10,000-Baht Digital Wallet For Each Thai Pledged In Pheu Thai Campaign

You do realize that the current regime introduced a MASSIVE cashless welfare card program in 2017? And that it continues to this day with some 14 + million people (22 m tried to enroll in the most recent period), and 48 billion baht budgeted. Monthly stipends range from 200 - 300 baht with additional kickers of up to 500 baht.

Can you share any more details? Any photos? This "burn" is deep inside the bud? How did it come to be "trapped"? Is this foliar or uptake? Do indoor growers use pesticides? And how does this "stand out"? Please share you expertise. Sorry but "trapped dirt"? Where? In a bud?

Can you tell us more about these "nasties" which you see using your microscope?

There was a recent thread here (and it started with the same fallacy), within the last 30 days, regarding renewal times using the U.S. Embassy's mail-in (or appointment for drop-off) process. The average seemed to be 15 real, working (no U.S. or Thai holidays) days, door-door. The same results seem to be holding for the Facebook experiences I've seen documented in the last few months, three weeks.

Keeping American cell provider and phone number abroad

Since the OP mentioned Mint, and other Mint users have chimed in, and many of us use UltraMobile... T‑Mobile to Acquire and Turbocharge Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile, Brands Will Continue Delivering Value on the Un‑carrier’s 5G Network Bellevue, Wash. – March 15, 2023 – T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries and brands: Mint Mobile, a successful direct-to-consumer (D2C) prepaid wireless brand in the U.S.; Ultra Mobile, a unique wireless service offering international calling options to communities across the country; and wholesaler Plum. With this deal, the brands’ exclusive use of the Un-carrier’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network will continue. T-Mobile is acquiring the brands' sales, marketing, digital, and service operations, and plans to use its supplier relationships and distribution scale to help the brands to grow and offer competitive pricing and greater device inventory to more U.S. consumers seeking value offerings. The Un-carrier will also be able to leverage Mint’s industry-leading digital D2C marketing expertise as part of its broader portfolio to reach new customer segments and geographies. The Mint and Ultra brands are complementary to the company’s current prepaid service offerings Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile branded prepaid and Connect by T-Mobile. https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-to-acquire-mint-and-ultra-mobile Who knows what impacts this might have on us as customers. Hopefully none. And this may be why the $13 UltraMobile SIM was unavailable on eBay, and that it might reappear? Nevermind, it looks like the $13 UM SIM is now available on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/str/mintmobilewireless Use a VPN with a U.S. IP address to "see" this $13 UM SIM. I've activated two of these with help of family in the U.S. I even ported my old TMo number into UM, during one activation. I created accounts with UM, then during the realtime activation used the SMS sent to activate the account. It was surprisingly simple. Then I had the SIM mailed to me here. I use WiFi calling, but it can be tricky depending on the handset, so I default to the GSM roaming and pay for the SMS. All that said I use GoogleVoice for 100% of my SMS OTPs without issue, across dozens of accounts, multiple times per day. -
I'd go back to the original source, I assume you liked it, and negotiate a volume buy, or work your way upstream?

Oy vey. They're three different colors/finishes. Up to you. -
You can eat anything. Personally I throw the resulting biomass in the trash.

The election results will not be "revealed" by 16 May. During the last "election" unofficial results were released + four days, with official results released + six weeks. Thaksin should not be making flight arrangements just yet - yes, I know he'll fly private. I can't see him returning, ever. Upright, or in an urn.

Most Voters Prefer Conservative-Liberal ‘Mixed Government’: Academic
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Most voters" have but one, single vote. And that vote is not cast for a coalition. Some of the coalitions that this academic propose are laughable. -
Can you share any photos showing these "leftovers"? Can you describe them? Is this a fertilizer sprayed onto the plant? Or a result of uptake from the soil/medium? I think you face two distinct challenges. One is finding an acceptable 1:1 strain, and the other is finding true organic growers. And there can be huge variations (phenotypes) within a strain name. The obvious solution is to grow your own but that doesn't appear possible in your case. Short of that would be to contract an organic grower to grow clones/seeds you provide. Have you ever located a suitable and acceptable strain, anywhere at anytime? Can you share those strain names? Have you ever located an acceptably organic grown variety of any kind? Where, what, when, price? What volume and price are you will to commit to? Rare, low-yielding strains grown organically are going to be expensive, more so at low volumes. There are organic growers out there, outdoor, greenhouse and even indoor, but they are hard to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1lK9SKirwg Well there you go, get the FiL to grow cannabis organically for you. Problem solved.

This is covered in the Constitution. Parties can put forth up to threenames as PM candidates, one of which could be put up for a vote in Parliament. I do not think this is binding though (open question with no precedent). Section 88. In a general election, a political party sending a candidate for election shall notify the Election Commission of not more than three names of persons endorsed by resolution of the political party that would be proposed to the House of Representatives for consideration and approval for appointment as Prime Minister prior to the end of the period for application for candidacy. The Election Commission shall announce the names of such persons to the public, and the provisions of section 87 paragraph two shall apply, mutatis mutandis. A political party may decide not to propose a list of names of persons under paragraph one. AFAIK, the PM does not need to be an elected or party-list MP.

Strategies, betrayals and backroom deals as Thai election race begins
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's probably going to come down to ten or fewer MPs, and/or a coalition slapped together involving a few of the smaller parties. The payoff for them will be IMMENSE. PPRP/UTN/BJT have presumably whipped several scenarios, including both "legal" and "potentially not illegal" actions, to insure that after the dust settles they form the next government. Prayut did tell us he had a "twenty-year" plan, shortly after he assured us that there would NOT be a coup. -
Bangkok makes pact with Moscow to collaborate on 6 aspects
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Seems like balcony safety and defenestrations could be another area of "cooperation". Interesting that Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt delegated this "Signing". Savvy move. -
I'd still like an explanation for these traffic stop actions, and the policies governing them and the police expectations from the public. Why are they stopping cars? Is it just suspicion of DWI? If so, why are passengers subject to scrutiny (remember the police initially said Ms. An had a visa issue)? Are they assumed to be violating the law? What is expected of passengers? What legal obligations are passengers subject to? IMO, the police appear to have very little (none?) civilian oversight or supervision, and the purpose of these stops seems to straight up EXTORTION. We've gone from a few bad apples, to a rotten tree, to an infected orchard. It is unrealistic to expect the public to respect the law when the primary face of the law appear to be little more than Mob Enforcers. It is challenging to determine if corruption among the police is more rampant now, or whether it is a result of more public exposure. I suspect it's a combination of the two. Even Big Joke has been required to bury quite a few MAJOR corruption scandals, either by dismissing them outright (Tu Hao), or by referring them to the NACC, where corruption cases go to die.

This would seem like a strange marketing effort. Incur extra cost to "lace" cannabis with methamphetamine or pesticides, which cannot even be metabolized by smoking. Is it? Can you share a link, all Thai TV stations have web sites, FB pages and YT channels, so it should be easy for you to find. I have not heard this "hot topic". My guess is that your wife is trying to discourage you from smoking cannabis. What kind of cannabis are you buying and smoking? Maybe a photo? How much are you paying per gram. And are you experiencing any negative effects from smoking this cannabis?

What's a Good Grinder for an Affordable Price?
bamnutsak replied to opporna's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
What is your budget? How do you consume your cannabis? What quality level cannabis do you consume? Try an inexpensive plastic grinder, see if it works for you. Watch YouTube video reviews, read internet reviews. I prefer 4-stage, ~ 63 mm metal grinder. You can find these for as little as 200 baht. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/cnc-40mm-63mm-4-grinder-herb-i3987361894-s15899913311.html? -
from the linked article... The Phuket Express noted the Phuket Provincial Police did not mention if these three were sent to the Phuket Immigration for possible yellow or red cards under a new classification system for misbehaving foreigners being tested in Phuket. So it sounds like this yellow/red card scheme is discretionary?
-
No. But that's my opinion. AFAIK, things like hookahs and whatever it is they smoke in those, along with eCig rigs and the fluids consumed in those, are illegal, and maybe just to import. DHV are not specifically mentioned in most government documents I've seen, perhaps because they are somewhat unique. Might a policeman hassle you for dry-herb vaping out in public? Sure, so be discreet. I mean you weren't planning on heading out to Walking Street with your bong were you? https://aseannow.com/topic/1264162-weed-vaporizer/
