Thai politician Chonsawat Asavahame dies of heatstroke in Buri Ram
khunjeff replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A convicted felon who is the son of a fugitive convicted felon...a typical Thai political dynasty. -
Good to see that the authorities are still laser-focused on the most important crimes, rather than wasting their time on silly things like reckless driving, fraud, or corruption.

"The Army also spent 7.5 million baht last year for tests on 757 of its GT200 devices, which were reportedly conducted to support its lawsuit against the supplier." Wow, still sending good money after bad. It's been acknowledged that the devices are completely fraudulent, and all you have to do is open each one to see that they are hollow plastic boxes containing no electronics or machinery of any kind, and yet they somehow managed to spend 10k baht per device to "test" them ????

Thieves steal gems worth $1 billion and disappear
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The story as presented is utterly incomprehensible, but I'm pretty confident that gems selling for $52 million are not "worth $1 billion". -
Thai PM Orders Probe into Chinese-owned Samanea Plaza
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Assuming the business is properly registered, eliminating rent-seeking middlemen would seem to be a net gain for consumers...but a loss for the middlemen themselves, of course. -
Whoops! Avoiding cultural faux pas when visiting Thailand
khunjeff replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The article is mostly utter claptrap. In Bangkok, street stalls, small restaurants, and even mall restaurants always have many Thais - usually office workers - eating alone. It's totally normal, and no one bats an eye. -
Umm, that's explained in some detail in the actual article... Exactly. In his quest for 15 minutes of fame, the eminent attorney seems to have completely overlooked the fact that none of these people are actually attempting to impersonate students - it's like the difference between putting on a pilot's uniform for a Halloween party and putting one on to try to access the secure area of an airport.

From one brief event at one location.

These days I usually park at Mixt since the location is so convenient, but there is also free parking across Phahonyothin road next to the BTS and MRT entrances (the former site of the old Mor Chit bus station). The downsides there are that it's not covered, and you'll probably have to make several rounds before you find an empty space.

Thai Airways investigates cabin crew incident – ‘Tray Gate’
khunjeff replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Of course it's a scandal - there's video evidence of the national flag carrier violating aviation safety regulations in a way that could have endangered passengers in case of an emergency. -
AoT Launches Measures to Manage Traveler Surge

Since Concourse D is part of the terminal, I'm somewhat confused as to what this actually means... -
Thai Health minister says no to 4am pub closing, except in tourist areas

Yes, those road safety "campaigns" are soooooo effective ???? -
Over 100 Immigration Officers to Be Charged over Illegal Visas
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He's been making the same announcement regularly for the last few weeks, but so far we have seen no names, no photos, and no actual arrests or charges. -
110 Thai immigration police officers charged in visa scandal
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where are the names of the charged officers, and the photos of them sitting with their heads bowed and Big Joke pointing at them? If these were foreigners arrested for littering, there would have been a massive press conference with huge vinyl boards detailing their crimes and 15 police heroes standing at attention behind them.- 47 replies

The fact that you were dealing with the Border Patrol and not state or local police tells us that it is not "exactly the same thing". The random searches you experienced were only allowed because you were within 100 miles of an international border - they would be forbidden anywhere in the interior of the US.

American tourists spend more money than Europeans in Thailand: survey
khunjeff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's certainly a fair and balanced description of the typical American tourist...in 1966 or so. You forgot to mention that they always fly on Pan Am and receive letters at the American Express office!- 100 replies
