Pretty confusing, as press announcements from AOT usually are. - This isn't a "terminal", it's a satellite passenger concourse. It adds two dozen gates, but no additional capacity for check-in, immigration, security, or baggage handling. - I don't understand how this concourse can increase passenger capacity at BKK. Right now, flight numbers are limited by runway capacity, and passenger numbers primarily by the capacity of immigration, security, and baggage systems. The number of gates hasn't been a limiting factor, since bus gates are always available. - Even if the new structure somehow increases passenger capacity to the "staggering" 60 million promised, that's still BELOW the number of flyers that passed through the airport annually in the years just before covid.

Tourist police bust illegal Chinese tour guide in Phuket
khunjeff replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Maybe the Tourist Police could just carry out their assigned role of protecting tourists, and leave visa and employment law violations to Immigration and the local police? -
Senate deputy chairman says Pita “unlikely to get 5 votes” from senators

These guys are just determined to trade in their Benzes for tumbrels, aren't they... -
International credit cards are fine. Some people occasionally have had trouble registering them, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

Senator suggests Pita doesn’t have to be the only PM candidate
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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?

Move Forward Party member to step down over drink-driving charge
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
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.

People flee high-rise buildings in Bangkok as Myanmar quake tremors felt
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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...! -

Thailand's Election Commission Probes Pitha's ITV Shares
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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.- 93 replies
