These guys are just determined to trade in their Benzes for tumbrels, aren't they...

GRAB - 2-3x the cost of BOLT or flagfall, but more reliable. Can register a credit card (not sure if it’s Thai cc only or int’l too)
International credit cards are fine. Some people occasionally have had trouble registering them, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

Neither capability nor ethics was a consideration when the senators themselves were voted for...oh, my mistake, they weren't voted for at all...

So this operation wasn't aimed at punishing taxis for breaking the law, but at eliminating illegal competition so that the taxis can continue to break the law with impunity. Got it.

Why do so many news articles keep referring to this as an "embezzlement" case, when it's clearly bribery/extortion? Nothing was embezzled - a cash payment was demanded in order to drop a criminal investigation. Or is there some additional case that I'm not aware of, filed at the same police station and involving the exact same amount of money?

Drunk driving is just outrageous behavior. If she stuck to the approved activities of MPs, like heroin trafficking, rape, and murder, she would be good to go.

For the selection of their chosen candidates for the three speaker posts, MPs will cast secret ballots.
Why would any parliamentary vote be secret? Aren't the constituents supposed to know how their representatives voted on any issue?

Attempted suicide?
There have certainly been a number of foreign men who have attempted/committed suicide at Suvarnabhumi over the years, usually jumping from the 3rd or 4th floor on the day of their departure flight, but I can't recall any woman doing the same. I hope she's ok.

If you're coming up on the BTS, it's quicker, cheaper, and easier to just get off at Mo Chit and change to the A1 or A2 airport express bus (or go all the way up to Yaek Kor Por Aor and then take a taxi). The SRT Red Line gets you there, but it's a walk of a few hundred meters at each end, and runs less frequently than the bus.

I was sitting on my sofa on the 10th floor near Asoke when I felt the building start to sway.
At first I thought I was suffering some kind of strange vertigo attack, so I looked around for physical clues as to what was going on. I saw that the pull-chain on a nearby floor lamp was swinging back and forth, so I decided it was probably an earthquake, but I was still debating whether to evacuate the apartment when the swaying stopped. Very disconcerting...!

I didn't realize Lyft was operating ride hailing services here???
Lyft wasn't among the list of 7 ride hailing apps that recently were listed as being approved by the DLT in Thailand.
Lyft doesn't operate in Thailand, and the Thai language article in Siam Rath doesn't mention "Lyft" at all - it says the conflict was between a Grab driver and an Udon Airport Limousine driver.

Sanong...looked into the incident the following day and reported that the CCTV footage had been deleted
How remarkably convenient. I'm not aware of any business that goes to the trouble and expense of installing CCTV, but then erases the records within 24 hours. Electronic storage is cheap.

So they don't normally crack down on these folks? If they know who and where they are, why haven't they already arrested them? And if they don't know, how are they going to find them in a city of ten million people?

With no pedestrian bridge and no crosswalk or traffic signal, what choice do students have other than to run across the road and hope for the best?

The Office of the Prime Minister also issued regulations in 2015 clarifying that alcohol can be sold only in stores between 11am and 2pm and again from 5pm to midnight only, a regulation that had previously been largely ignored.
Every article keeps stating this as fact, but it's totally false. The "Revolutionary Decree" was revived around 20 years ago under the puritanical Interior Minister Purachai duringThaksin's administration, and the 2015 regulation just re-codified the same policy.

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) conducted a raid on a high-end Chinese club party in the Huai Khwang district of Bangkok.
4 hours ago, webfact said:They carried out a search at the premises of Diamond KTV, a well-known massage parlor located on New Phetchaburi Road in the Bang Kapi district of Bangkok.
So the party in Huai Khwang was actually in Bang Kapi? Interesting ????

You can’t be extradited from your own country, especially where there is the likelihood of receiving a death sentence.
Some countries don't allow the extradition of their own citizens, but many do. In addition, most extradition treaties allow countries to refuse to extradite their own citizens, but normally with the proviso that they must then be tried in their home country instead.

3 hours ago, h90 said:Many of not most government run radio and TV stations. Also some military...nothing wrong with it and not banned in the constitution.
1) "not banned by the constitution" is certainly not equivalent to "nothing wrong with it"
2) I think the point people are making is that military-connected politicians effectively have a media machine at their disposal, but reformist politicians can't even own a few shares of any media company. It's a stacked deck.

If the whole world seems to know about his arrival in Norway using a false name and passport, why wasn't he immediately arrested for that by Norwegian authorities? Even leaving aside the murder charge, flying around under a false identity or with forged documents isn't something that's taken lightly by any government. Or are the articles somehow suggesting that the Norwegian embassy in Hanoi knowingly issued the bogus passport to him?

PM’s soothing words for frayed nerves as he says he will continue his role up to the next cabinet
in Thailand News
Posted
Oddly enough, I don't find his promise to stay on as long as possible particularly soothing.
