Thailand leads in fresh durian exports to China, 121 tonnes by April
I've been wondering how they work the out price of durian once it's been taken out of it's casing. The price of durian per kilo is about the same as it's been for years, now though, buying one of those styrofoam trays the price has basically doubled. What not too long ago was two really nice pieces of aromatic deliciousness for Bt180 is now one piece.

Thai Navy Set to Receive First Chinese Submarine Within Three Years
3 yrs to build a sub is slow. My guess is most of that time will be testing the as yet unused engine if it's even been built. What a farce. 10's of billions of baht for what? Got conned by the the CCP.

Chaikasem May Become PM if Srettha Faces Impeachment
The word "speculation' along with "could" was very prominent when I first read this and very apt. Who knows if the puppeteer arranged this bit of news for a bit of deflection. Wouldn't surprise me if he did. His slimy tentacles range very wide. My apologies to all octopodes/octopuses/octopi. p.s. octopi is the least correct.

Chaikasem May Become PM if Srettha Faces Impeachment
Love the humour. The outcome vis a vis who will win is already known. The outcome after the election isn't and that's if we get to the next election before the tanks are back on the streets.

I agree with the ballot box. Won't matter who PTP run they are fkd. The traitorous Thaksin will be punished.

It is was it says it is. SPECULATION. There's someone else in the running that is far more likely.

If you can't respond properly on a forum about things happening in Thailand I suggest it's you who should go away.

Former Minister Reimburses Japanese Tourist Overcharged by Tuk Tuk Driver
Yeh sure. Probably goes something like this. "If your going to rip off tourists make sure it's not by too much and make sure you don't get caught".

Brave doctor heads rescue during Singapore Airlines emergency
An impotant and positive story. Pity the accompanying headline is rubbish. Nothing brave happening here just an effective response of which she (if the pic is actually the doc mentioned, never know on this forum) led the medical team on site. Seems like the emergency response system they have in place worked well. Edit: I checked and the image is Dr Wichanya Burirak.

Thaksin postpones lese majeste hearing, citing Covid infection
I'm not talking about Thaksin here more to the point of "importing information into a computer system that could defame, insult, or show malice towards the Thai royal family." I'm gussing importing in this sense mean downloading. This is very concerning and stinks of an autocratic system and a freedom of interpretation when prosecuting under the weaponised Section 112.

And Thaksin says he had nothing to do with it. "I'm just an old man." Anyone who believes this is deluded. It was a set up through and through.- Big Thailand visa changes from June 1
- EC to comply with court ruling on Senate candidate profiles
The whole thing is a complete chirade. A sentate should be voted for by the poeople in an election not some dodgy self selection process. p.s. might be a while before we see any section 112 articles here again or they'll be comments closed. Seems that's now off limits.- Campaign to eliminate e-cigarettes from schools is gaining momentum
Sadly this is a reality. The spoilt little darlings at many schools can have this power. Mummy and daddy pay lots of money so the school doesn't want any trouble and if some of the spoilt little darlings don't like the teacher they're out the door. Nothing to do with the competency of the teacher in these cases it's the money.- Campaign to eliminate e-cigarettes from schools is gaining momentum
Vaping at school? Should not be allowed and I would like to see evidence that it's happening? Vaping at uni or college ok. Dealing with adults and freedom of choice but at schools? Something tells me this just doesn't occur. After school maybe but not at school. I stand to be corrected but this article seems a little off to me and is more about strengthening the negative narrative against vaping. As for hazardous chemicals in vapes are these worse than the thousands of chemicals, many carcinogenic, found in cigs?- Thai singer receives four-year sentence for setting King's portrait on fire
I'm suprised comments aren't closed for this one.
