The impact of cheap steel imports from China remains a significant concern.

 

Tata Steel (Thailand) Plc, a subsidiary of India’s largest steelmaker, expressed worries as China continues to flood Southeast Asia with inexpensive steel products amid its slowing economy.

 

Nava also voiced apprehension over Chinese steelmaker Xin Ke Yuan Steel’s plan to establish a hot-rolled steel factory in Rayong with a production capacity of 6 million tonnes, which could intensify market competition.

Oh dear what to do.... 

Well he won't get his 12,000 baht back, but he might get a long stretch in jail... strange thinking..

Don’t know how many experienced pilots out there are looking for temporary positions flying for the airlines. They may need to offer something more substantive. 

A temporary position means getting back into the simulators for much needed training and gaining the necessary requirements to get back on to a flight deck .

During an argument at their home, Pokpong threatened her with his collection of samurai swords. Two of his police friends were present but did not intervene. The argument escalated until Karn grabbed a sword and struck a tree in anger. Pokpong then attacked her with another sword, slashing her face and back before his friends intervened.

 

Karn managed to flee to her car, but Pokpong pursued her, attacking the vehicle with a sword and later a hammer. Fearing for her life and her child's safety, she sped away. She sought help from a security guard to check on her child before heading to the hospital.

Nice to know the local plod are mentally balanced.

As more people visit Thailand the more people will come to realise there are better places to visit.
