He really should have taken a couple of oars out with him 

At least he would have had something to do until the navy arrived 

Or learnt how to "sail" a sail boat, like mariners did before engines were invented!

“Chevrolet Thailand has no policy on compensation in this case since the price-cut promotion took effect from February 18 and was in accordance with the law,” the company announced.

Cut-off dates are a bitch sometimes.. tough luck if you bought one the day before!

Hi, what about the thousands of tourists already in Thailand and due to go home ? Should they call their airline , example Emirates, to confirm ? Thousands travel with Emirates every day from Europe. 

Airlines are not stupid, they will pick-up passengers in Thailand with return tickets... but will no allow new passengers to travel!

You seem to forget or maybe you don't know, many Thai people work in Israel;
they are usually hired to pick oranges.
I think there was a deal between the two countries.
Thailand returns prisoner to home and Israel accepts more Thai workers

Or you let him return to Israel we won't ban any flights!

The footage was posted by the worker's foreman who asked: "What kind of person would drive off after doing that?"

A heartless person with little or no driving experience.. 
a case of the typical driver going along with brain dis-engaged then thinks "Ohhh there's my turn" switches lane without looking then bang!!!!
But to drive off without stopping should be instant jail time!

Drivers like cabbies already face very strict regulations dealt with by the DLT, he said. Licences are suspended on a first offence and on a second transgression they are taken away entirely.

So they can drink & drive but are not dealt with by the police or courts...  only by their employer, very bizarre indeed!

Each and every response was of course the PM's personal view on things!

The new ambassador is not familiar with Thai matters and we have to discuss it with him soon.

Good luck with the future trade talks... I wouldn't rattle the cage bars too much and anger the beast within!

“There are more than 1,000 cases under investigation, but we don’t want people to panic because it will affect the country in many aspects.

So were sticking to the number of 35 of which many have gone home to alleviate any panic!

Officials said the Songkhla bound passenger train hit a cargo train head on, with initial investigations citing signal failure as the cause of the crash.

Signals still need human input... I think the failure lays somewhere else!

Poor monitoring of the signalling system if it's automatic, with no safety back-up in place, or poor maintenance.

Government Spokeswoman Narumon Pinyosinwat denied the allegation on her Facebook and Twitter accounts, adding that related agencies are now considering pursuing legal action against the accuser and will make a public announcement to clarify the matter

The government also harboured Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low, allowing him to enter the country at least five times between October 2016 and May 2018, despite Low having an Interpol red notice from Singapore, she said.

I wonder if they can clarify this at the same time?

Sanook reported that minibuses are not allowed to use the hill and visitors must park at the foot of the hill and arrange other transport to the top because it is so steep.

So the charge will be premeditated murder then?

Hua Hin Airport expansion to help transform sleepy resort into a truly international tourist destination

From a sleepy resort destination that I liked to visit transformed into another Pattaya style hell-hole.
