well I see facebook is tired of the protest already. They shut them down ... lol

kids ..... back to class na.

Facebook is planning legal action against the government of Thailand for ordering the social media platform to partially shut down access to a group critical of the Thai ......... . I guess you're wrong. Hopefully you were being tongue in cheek. If not you support a junta. 

Running scared. Lets see how many more arrests there will be. It won't matter. The people's revolution is coming.

I just read on another Thai English language news web site that according to a poll 71% of Thais agree with buying submarines ??? ... What on earth .... Not sure I can post a link to it here ... 

Missus showed me FB is going crazy over this. Thais are not happy. More likely 7.1%.

The end is nigh for these clowns. Let's hope no blood is spilt. I fear this will not be the case.

As it stands Australia has six subs for the biggest island in the world. Admittedly they've purchased more off the plan but this may be scrapped. Nevertheless Australia could come in an wipe out the Thai military in quick manner new subs or not. This is just military spending under a military democratically elected junta government.

and a great way to build flexibility into employment; for sure it doesn't suit everyone, but many people benefit from such work contracts.

One hour per wk. Please explain the benefit.

If the Thai attitude is congenital then I'm all for it. 

1 hrs work. Might cost more to get there and back. 

Hotel quarantine failure. Victoria, Australia. Now victoria is in lockdown with an 8-5 curfew. Last I heard over 7000 active cases. Not all is because of hotel quarantine but it has been admitted that there were failures. This virus is known to be aerosol and found in aircontioning vents. 

Murky waters indeed. For starters he was a defence witness. Add to that it's the prosecutors who dropped the charges. So as far as foul play goes who would want him dead. One key defence witness left. If he dies then where to point the finger.

Involvement or not who cares. The money that's bought his freedom comes from where? Everyone knows the answer to that question.

The only argument of military-rule supporters was that those generals who confiscated the future of the Thai people are the only ones who can keep the country together, either because "Thailand is not ready for democracy" or "this our culture this is how we've always done". 

 

But even at governing they proved more disastrous than civilian governments. 

 

It's about time everyone acknowledged this institution is doing more harm than good to Thailand. 

I think everyone knows this. What's the solution is the question.

Doesn't matter. It won't save Prayut. Only his army will keep him in power.

Medical tourists will still have to stay in state quarantine for 14 days? 

 

What if an appointment is before, what if the condition is serious?

 

 

I think you'll find medical tourist means elective cosmetic surgery. Boobs, teeth, nose etc.

I thought it was acceptable, well according to many TV posters it seems to be.  Taking bribes is that not part of the Agent process.  Nonthaburi wanted me to pay 500 baht for a lost TM-6 arrival card even with a police report.  I refused and was eventually able to locate the card in the bottom of a backpack I had used months before.  Even have copies of everything but if you do not have the original they get all pricked out.

I've lost my tm before. They said never mind checked the computer an issued another one. That's how it should happen. Unfortunately Thailand is corrupt top to bottom. A well known fact to every Thai person. The only way to stop this is to stop it from the top down. This aint going to happen. It's a culture of corruption.

True. The country is being sold to the Chines in the form of bonds , hence one of the reasons the Thai baht stays strong. Influx of hot money.

 

No more need for TEFlers soon.   The demand will be TCFlers

Guess you haven't noticed the baht heading south.
