The district/sub-district police (RTP) know about every single club, gambling den, and underage sex club within their jurisdiction. Heck, they are "inspecting" these facilities daily/weekly for "collections". This is why it is the MoI/DOPA is raiding these establishments. Eventually, DOPA will be corrupted, if they haven't already.

Hopefully, the Thai government will work with Chinese/Hong Kong officials to expedite the release of this wrongly accused Thai citizen. Clearly, the video/still shows Get handling the two kilos of Ganja.

Mastermind? Wonder who this could be?

No "White Elephant" then?

from the linked article... In an interview with Reuters last week, the central bank’s governor admitted that growth had underperformed expectations but denied that the economy was in crisis. Pichai, however, challenged this outlook, questioning whether a decade-long trend of underperformance could be dismissed as non-crisis. "Decade-long"? Hmm. Tell us again who was "in charge". Pichai further highlighted that since Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput assumed the role of central bank governor in 2020, the Thai economy had failed to bounce back from the negative growth experienced that year. Yes. let's blame the BoT for a series of government's mishandling of the economy.

The "government" gets a twofer on this one...economy is in the dumper so they need to give away 10,000 baht...Red Sea shipping concerns so voila, a Land Bridge. I wonder if PTP mentioned the looming economic crisis when pedaling the Digital Wallet scheme in the election run-up.

This should instill confidence.

Interesting nugget.

No. At least not in my experience. Different desk, different queue, different process.

The NACC said as much after they reviewed this scheme, specifically mentioning "brokers" who would advance recipients 7,000 cash for their 10,000 "wallet", among other potential fraudulent actions. Pheu Thai will use NACC opinion as excuse to abandon digital wallet scheme: Korn “I believe Pheu Thai is looking for a graceful exit. Actually, the Pheu Thai could just say it respects the opinions and concerns of all sides and rush to the tackle economic crisis through other means,” Korn said. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40034949

It looks like some changes have been made in the past week re: Mint Mobile, international use and UpRoam. Many active threads on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/mintmobile/comments/19fmbxa/bring_back_uproam_please/ You may be able to port out to UltraMobile PAYG ($3/month, 100 SMSes, WiFi Calling).

From September, 2023 The Royal Thai Government Promotes Tourism with a 30-day Tourist VISA Exemption Scheme for Chinese and Kazakhstani Tourists Starting from 25 September 2023 to 29 February 2024 https://www.tourismthailand.org/Articles/tourist-visa-exemption-scheme-en So this "new scheme" simply makes this permanent, 1 March 2024 -->

I read the linked article several times. All of the narrative comes from Hapkarn. The effort to paper over Thailand's lax enforcement of underage prostitution, and police bribes is admirable, I guess.

Thanks for this update. Did you see the sign that the OP mentioned seeing? "Per a sign at the airport, if you hold a re-entry permit, but exit the country through the automated gates, your re-entry permit will be cancelled."

Why does Trump refer to Ms. Haley as "Birdbrain"? It sounds like something he picked up from Fred Sr. referring to his Mom. A 1950's sort of mysoginistic insult?

Given how Monarchs are chosen, one shouldn't be surprised that nepotism is the bedrock of the Thai culture. AKA: Hard Power.

One has to wonder how widespread this sort of rogue, sadistic punishment is within the Thai education system. And where do teachers learn about this type of punishment?
