  1. This smells more like a cover-up than an investigation or a crack-down. What happened to Chada Thaiset's color-coded list? And why is the Ministry of the Interior involved in a corruption investigation?
  2. So now it becomes clear that a submarine is not essential to the mission. And the MoD/RTN says surface ships can fulfill the mission. from the linked article... Sutin said that the RTN and the Defence Ministry have agreed that the submarine procurement must be reviewed, based on the worthiness of the project vis-à-vis its price tag. This one will go down - not literally - in history as the biggest folly for the Thai military-idiocy complex.
  3. In some other press on this matter, Srettha committed to finishing this project (in 2039), and he also said it would save 5 - 9 days. And require twice as many ships. I'll have what he's smoking.
  4. Worked for me just now, 16:55.
  5. What is your reporting office? Given the Holiday on Monday maybe make an appointment - the email OTP is working again - for next Wed, Thu or Fri to file in person?
  6. So tell me again that this isn't Human Trafficking. The Thai and Israeli governments should be ashamed. The published figure is 30,000. Some 30,000 Thai farmhands were employed in Israel until the war with Hamas broke out, with around 5,000 of them working in communities close to the Gaza Strip, where 75% of the country’s vegetables are grown. https://www.timesofisrael.com/thai-laborers-the-working-hands-of-israeli-farming-pay-with-blood/
  7. As soon as I stepped outside yesterday my throat was scratchy and I started coughing. Today looks worse.
  8. Note that they were recruited by the Ministry of Labor, as part of the Government - to - Government scheme agreed to by Thailand and Israel. The Thai government is complicit in this worker relo program so it only makes sense that they offer some sort of debt relief.
  9. Stick a fork in this one. I mean it was a non-starter from the get-go, but reality has set in. Massive loss of face for Srettha and Thaksin.
  10. For me, the OTP usually comes through via email within ~ 15 seconds. It worked earlier today for me. But not working now. Must be some problem, why am I not surprised. from this morning, I use gmail, arrives in Primary mailbox.

  11. I just noticed this BTS next train status info. Opposite platform LCD. Chit Lom, outbound. Seemed accurate. Never noticed it before.
  12. Definitely Monday 23 October. Immigration Offices closed. Chulalongkorn Day, a National Holiday.
  13. Ya Ice, AKA Crystal Meth. Wednesday morning, so he was probably tweaking. What does tweaking mean in slang? Slang. behaving in a wildly excited or agitated manner, especially as an effect of using methamphetamine, cocaine, or other stimulant drugs: He was pacing around and bursting in and out of emotional fits like a tweaking junkie. If he was smoking Cannabis he'd be in bed, or at the local All-English Breakfast establishment.
  14. My take... not a lot of history is taught here so folks are generally unaware of the rich political history. That's done for a reason, obviously. And I think people are shocked at the difference between then and now, re: development. There are a lot of vintage photos of Thailand on FB, often they show them in the "then and now" format side-by-side with dates. https://www.google.com/maps/@13.8747722,100.5933033,1115m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu
  15. AKA "Lean". No. Cough syrup with promethazine/codeine, jolly rancher candies, and Sprite. I think this is a bit of a niche cocktail here.
  16. Assemble your paperwork/copies ahead of appointment. Proceed to Counter 4 far right, inside office area - Doc check, get badge for desk B66, just a few meters to your right, proceed there, and allow the desk agent to see your B66 badge, she should wave you over. That was the procedure last month, if it remains the same the entire process should take no longer than 5 minutes.
  17. He didn't look great being helped out of the prison door to the waiting motor home.
  18. They appear to be "Winging it" on this Digital Wallet scheme. Makes sense, they only came up with it a month before the election. You'd think they'd have had some savvy team working on the implementation since then, but no, of course they haven't. This one will get ugly, and stay ugly. Srettha, and others involved, should make sure he has some sort of legal guarantees/indemnification re: future prosecution. I can see this thing being litigated for a few decades going forward. Although I expect some judicial interference prior to implementation.
  19. Why didn't he ask Putin, Xi, MBS for help when he met with them yesterday? This Srettha administration seems to be incompetent.
  20. Reports from some mail-ins to CW are dismal. Often no return reply after 30 days. CW seems to be unforgiving re: applying the fine after the grace period. It might be easier to fly out/in (internationally) after a missed report, to reset the clock.
  21. Make an appointment. https://gov.immigration1.queueonline.net/appointment/login.html?v27 Fill out the form ahead of time. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/downloads_en/ Research required documents, if any. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/90days-report/ Documents Required (Notification in person) Passport departure card (TM.6) Example Previous notifications of staying over 90 days (If the applicant has been notified before) Example Completely filled in the notification form (TM.47) and signed by the applicant (not another person) Example
  22. Based on earlier stories I thought this 600 m slush fund was already approved. Now it sounds like it has merely been proposed. The initial proposal was weak. New Minister of Tourism and Sports Sudawan Wang-Suphakitkosol has been given a ฿600 million budget to boost foreign tourism before the end of the current High Season as Thai-based airlines help the government to grow flight connectivity and arrival numbers. https://aseannow.com/topic/1309204-move-to-boost-tourism-sector-with-worrying-signals-near-the-start-of-the-country’s-high-season/
  23. IMO they should just end this charade now. Release him to his own hospital (Praram 9), or home confinement through February 2024, which is when most predict he will be given a final release pardon. Why go through all this angst for four months? Rip the band-aid off.
