  1. Yes, we will. Thing is we still might not know but I guess it doesn't matter if we know or not I just hope the family gets a satisfactory reason.
  2. So what. Why do you need to know right now? Maybe these are the only details released. What's wrong with you? Do you not know the process of how these types of deaths work? Accept for now he's died. What are the circumstances? Maybe, just maybe we'll have to wait.
  3. Maybe this is a little complicated when the OP is really about the rockets and a danger of collision. Here's an easier and of course extremely simplified version. Take a long length of PVC piping, stuff it full of gunpowder, apply wick and light. Rocket goes up. Rocket is going very, very fast. Rocket hits plane. Not good.
  4. Hamas went into Israel and mudered over 1100 civilians on Oct 7 last year. This is a fact. The two mentioned in the article were two of these although it seems their deaths occured later in captivity. Murdered by nutter Islamist terrorists.
  5. One wonders if bank accounts have anything to do with this "rigorous selection".
  6. From your comment I'm guessing you've never actually seen one of these 'cardboard or wooden home made rocket[s]" so here's some pics. Not exactly some piddling little carboard or wooden homemade rocket.
  7. Better to have cigs and alcohol legal because they cause less harm? I'm not advocating for the criminalisation of either cigs or booze because that's just as rediculous and won't happen but this century old idea that dope should be classified as a narcotic is just that. A century old. Actually I think it was 1936 or there abouts. Dope of course will still be available but a person becomes a criminal again for smoking it and the real criminals go back to making a fortune. Yep! good idea. Go and get drunk and smoke ciggies is ok but have a spliff and your a criminal. Rediculous. It should be decriminalised with caveats. No smoking areas. Yes. Same as cigs. Sale to minors illigal with stiff penalties. Purchased from licenced outlets. Define the amount a person can have for personal use. Define the amount a person can grow for personal use. Farming/plantations regulated and licensed. These are some examples of how it can be done. Basically decriminalized rather than legalised. Sadly baffoons run the show here.
  8. Ahhh!!!! The land bridge. What a stupid idea that will never happen.
  9. "a government review". So not data, no evidence and no science independant of the government position but purely what the puppet master says. I think we all know the outcome. Regression, which is very good for the drug bosses, the generals and the BIB.
  10. Funny how many films have been banned by the Thai censors though because they don't "promote the charm of Thai culture". It's not only those who stand up against Section 112 who are denied their freedom of speech. Many movie makers here are denied their right to artistic license. TIT. You must conform.
  11. Three replies above so far from two posters to the OP and they're just puerile. For once there's a postive story. I say well done.
  12. Well I reckon this is an "expert" I'll believe. Of course we've seen a lot of "expert opinions" in the last few years that support profits for companies with all other "expert opinions" being wrong (aka conspiracies) so I guess James Marsh's expert opinion will be disregarded by the Thai government after all they have their own "experts."
  13. Typical May weather. Hot, humid, somedays cooler and the occasional storm.
  14. Actually I'm suggesting, just as as a poosibility, that their might not be an election for quite some time because PTP will get the boot with another coup.
  15. Allow me to rewrite this for you TheThaigerChatGPT/AN style. "Since the wonderful introduction of a variety of artificial intelligence applications we at TheThaigerChatGPT/AN have seen a bourgeong engagement of interfacing with our highly informative site to lofty heights never seen before."
  16. Plenty of republicans in Aus mate I'll tell you that. Charles ain't my King but I could call him a dithering idiot (not the case IMO) publically without fear of prosecution. The same cannot be said here.
  17. Agree. The 50 that remain will be Pratut's Junta appointments. Then the selection critera of being over 40 disqualifies many of those on the progressive side. Then you have occupations which is skewed to professionals only and then you have the corruption in that wealth can buy your selection. So, yes, the selected not elected Senate will will be full of the old guard with many of the dinasaurs currently in the Senate remaining. This whole selection not election is a complete farce open to corruption and manipulation and is in no way representative of a democtratic process.
  18. I googled this 'how many times has thailand been in the fifa world cup finals" This was the answer: NONE Which is the same answer to how much chance of this happening?
  19. Senate selection not election. I don't think the old guard are too bothered with this as the old guard will more than likely fill the majority of seats. As for a new election my above post maybe a crystal ball into the future. There may not be another election for quite some time.
  20. Thaksin and Prayut will get rid of MFP. Prayut will get rid of Thaksin....again and the next election will be in another 10years+. Just a thought.
  21. Complete nonsense subheading. It might be one proposal made by one complete and utter fool but there is no information supplied. The article is about confiscating assets from traffickers and rehab for addicts. Thing about the traffickers is they're not the big ones. It's the cartels in Myanmar, Laos and China How is the BIB and the courts going to confiscate their huge wealth. A huge wealth by the that will increase if dope is made illegal again. Nothing will change the cartels will ship it in, some generals here will continue to make a fortune and every now and again a smuggler will get caught.
  22. I'm very suprised by this image. My guess is (and the rather nonsensical article supports this) is that AI just pumped out an article with an image and again it's gone straight to upload without any editorial checks. Usually classroom pics are private schools or good public schools in good classrooms. I think The ThaigerChatGPT/AN might be in trouble here for bringing the image of Thailand into disrepute. Reality is though this scene is indicative of many public schools in Thailand it's just that you can't see the other 30 students.
  23. The old you too can enjoy yourself at a party with everyone drinking etc when you're cold stone sober. Everyone knows this is complete BS. Protect the children? Well this is just more BS. Protect the children from what exactly? Legal drugs or illegal drugs. It's all out there and readilly available legal or not. Making something illegal changes nothing except what was once legal is now illegal.
  24. "'since" Since the liberalisation of the law. Between then and now and not before. So yes the "opperative word" as you say is since. "Since the liberalisation of the law (when the law was liberalised) farmers profits have reduced" or "initially the small number of farmers cultivating saw good profits but as the number of cultivators rapidly increased those farmers saw their profits reduced." As I said this would be because more dope was being cultivated, more on the market, market prices dropped and profit margins were reduced. I believe I did read it properly thank you and I also know what since means.
