An arm of the CCP.

There are of course Thai Chinese teachers who are fluent in Mandarin.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Hired hitman at arms length. Hitman disappears with no paper or electonic trail. Case not long ago exactly like this. Can't remember details but was on this forum.

Nothing ex about this bloke. He has been in control since he fled and is still in control.

Yes, we all know that corruption is endemic here but this is still a big story. It is though IMO only the tip of a gigantic iceberg. Serious corruption in Thailand goes higher and much wider than this.

Gripen E/F is the model. It's the latest addition to the E series.

From the SAAB website. Not exactly what I would call tailor made for Thailand. https://www.saab.com/products/gripen-e-series Gripen E-series is a new fighter aircraft system. Developed to counter and defeat advanced future threats, the E-series is for customers with more pronounced threats or wider territories to secure.

I guess any old sub pic will do. Quick google search and here it is. The exact image used for the article. The KRI Nanggala 402. Sunk April 2021 with 53 crew. All hands lost.. This is extremely poor psuedo journalism.

One of the 1st things they should do upon delivery is check the whole system for tracking devices and data hacking technology.

Make no mistake. These places will be packed with Chinese.

I'm actually bracing for the next hub. 😠 This is just absurd. If anything, so far, this hot season is no where near as hot as some of the scorchers in the recent past. 40C IS NOT extreme heat in the HOT SEASON.

Greater profits for apartment owners who never reflect decreases in price only increases.

Extortion by Ministry of Agriculture task force exposed by senator Just another corrupt official.

Ah! Thailand. Bent from top to bottom. Fairly sure that those in a position of corruption think it's normal practice and guarantee those on the receiving end know it is.

Let's hope the minority, conservative religious, wowsers will not only get their way but I fear this will not be the case. Any liberalisation of the current rediculous laws will be seen as progressive and as we all know this will not be tolerated in Thailand. Move Foward Party: Not allowed. Move Backwards Party would be more descriptive of Thailand.

It does say minimum but even then night temps probably won't go down to 26.

Thailand is currently experiencing a period of intense heat THE HOT SEASON,

Gone up 4% since the election which Pita and MFP won convincingly in a democractic election only to be usurped by the military elite.

Direct from China. Vaping is everywhere here. If they don't want children to vape (and they shouldn't be) why allow this in? Allow me to answer my own question. Corruption. Having said this it looks like just the thing a 'grown up' Thai women will love to use. Just look at the hair pins and slippers they use.

If you believe Thailand fights corruption I'm sorry but you are deluded. Corruption is at best overlooked and at worst encouraged. Corruption is in the fabric of those who are in a position to be corrupt. Army, govt, judiciary, police, local govt, school directors, hospital directors the list goes on. Corruption is part of Thai culture be it on the side that benefits or the side that pays. You can bet that anyone who is done for corruption here there will be the corrupt on the other side that benefits.

Hot weather and hot season storms in the hot season for the next seven days. Called seasonal weather. Well my forecast is hot to very hot with occasional storms for at least the next 3 months.

It's in the international news you idiot.

Off to a good start. Two out of seven aren't corrupt. 😉 Denmark ranked number 1 (least corrupt) Sweden number 6 and Thailand number 108. Good luck there. You can't get beer from a cow. Thailand is corrupt top to bottom. Corruption is endemic in this country and every single person here knows this. https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2023

There are millions of lights on every night in Thailand. Bit of a competition between provinces as to who can use the most lights to look the most beautiful.
