Meh. Easily covered up with a rug. OK, a brown rug. Just look how easily Big Joke covered up the Tuhao mess.

One charge was dismissed, "illegal" personnel transfer. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/12/27/yingluck-lawyer-explains-how-his-client-got-her-court-case-dismissed/ She's still on the hook for the rice scheme. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41410047 The Amnesty Bill would cover her but that's jammed up in Parliament. I guess she could come back, get a Royal Pardon, and spend some time in the hospital. Voila.

I did not see that coming.

So one Thai person had issues. That's the basis for this rant. Interesting that there are no Thai officials, like the Minister of Foreign Affairs or the PM who loves yacking, quoted in this article. I think an electronic travel authorization is required. Maybe South Korea should make the visa application process more demanding. This "little Ghost" problem has been an issue for ages. Thai government officials need to be working on a resolution. Blaming South Korea is not a solution.

Extortion? This is the first time I've seen a reference to this charge. This begs for a Netflix show, Siam Sopranos. “If You Mention Extortion Again, I’ll Have Your Legs Broken.” Mayor Carmine DePasto

Can you share a few examples where you've encountered people "demanding" you celebrate their choices? Do they accost you on the street? Do they really get in your face? How often are you "confronted"? This seems odd, a side of Thailand I've neither experienced nor seen referenced anywhere.

And you had to borrow the money from the police slush fund run by your superiors. Welcome to Amway, RTP Section. Now get out there and "earn".

No. Those are funded by the Police Credit Union.

Disappointing, but hardly surprising. Thailand is a very conservative country, and is moving backward to pre-1932 quickly. And this was an MFP issue, and anything associated with MFP, including the party and all members, is in the process of being vaporized. It is interesting that the main objection is to assume that everyone has criminal intent (deceive and harass), rather than seeking happiness.

Now do Teachers. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailands-teachers-accumulate-combined-debts-of-1-4-trillion/ 300 Billion, pfft. Rookies. Teachers up to 1.4 TRILLION.

Oops. Skip 23 and 24 obviously, no appointments on weekends. You can renew up to 30 (45 in some offices) days early, so plan accordingly.

This could be alarming. Hopefully, they will do a thorough chemical analysis on the drugs seized and with an autopsy. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db474.htm#section_1 Might be a good idea for public health officials to get ahead of the curve and stock up on Naxalone. (Narcan).

Pick an appointment date, back up 30 days -ish, wake up at 00:01 book an appointment. The booking window is -30 days. Which office? If CW you can only book out to 22 Mar today, five open slots on that Friday NOW. Tomorrow you could book 23 Mar, rinse/repeat.

AFAIK, and I don't read the thai press, but at this point, the "investigation" seems very preliminary. No charges have been filed, again AFAIK. This may be a signal to Hapkarn to get his crew to stand down from threatening government prosecutors. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-prosecutors-threatened-over-online-gambling-scandal-probe

It would be nice if they shared the current price ceiling chart. I found this one but not sure on the date? https://www.thaiairways.com/en/Terms_condition/CAAT_Announcement.page? It shows a ceiling of 18,148 for BKK-HKT R/T (economy), 9,074 one way. I think they use some standard rate, measured in baht/Km, for all routes.

Ideas are easy. Implementing them effectively without any planning is a recipe for failure. The MoPH already has a Village Health Care force with over one million volunteers. Expand that, and train 10% upwards to Practical Nurses. These volunteers have been a key part of primary health care in Thailand during the past four decades. They undertake health surveys, collect data, maintain family health records, and do disease prevention campaigns to support the public health authorities. In times of outbreaks, their meticulous records of the medical histories of community members are used for contact tracing and health monitoring. https://www.who.int/thailand/news/feature-stories/detail/thailands-1-million-village-health-volunteers-unsung-heroes-are-helping-guard-communities-nationwide-from-covid-19#:~:text=The Ministry of Public Health,during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Massive problems facing Thailand, and this chump is focused on a bag.

This sounds like the ill-fated "Rice Scheme"? Between the ill effects of sugar and the burning during harvest, I might pay people NOT to grow sugarcane. But then Capt. Thamanat is running the show as Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and with his vast experience, he probably knows what's best.

Given the prison system is overwhelmed with ~ 350,000, in a stated capacity of 200,000 - 80% of whom are on drugs/meth charges - there is no other option than diversion programs. The question is, are those diversion programs up and running and financed for success? Just kidding, this is Thailand. They'll be sent to military facilities for a few weeks and released.

Agree, he's cat-like. Only used two lives so far. That said, his only promotion remaining is to national police chief. But we need to see more details.

Alexander Smirnov indictment It's a good read. Comer sure knows how to pick 'em. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24429120-240214-smirnov-indictment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mm38AE3OSQ

All engines stop. Parliament voted 256-152 to reject the bill that would allow transgender individuals to choose their title on official documentation in its first reading. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1760238814772265299

Who said he was? A wee bit defensive are we? An extremely wealthy wife/her family. That's how he was able to pay for his promotions, putting him 3 ~ 5 years ahead of his contemporaries. Uhm, those are your cornflakes. Enjoy. No one is saying he is guilty.

Need to see more details and sources. Only a few slobbering fan bois thought like this.

They are frightened and ashamed of their own history, to the point where discussing it is illegal. No reason to be, most of our home countries have ugly skeletons. I'll take Slavery for $400 But if you don't acknowledge the event then you can't make progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGzZy83rz4
