A very good point.

I think you've got this wrong. They'll be there from the start and more than likely involved in the setting up and construction. Apart from that casinos are great washing machines.

Scenario. Casinos built near boarders. Chinese flood in, gamble, and take winnings back across the border.

No suprise here. Attack is the best defence guilty or not. This will be interesting in what can only be a true Samson and Goliath battle. I feel it would be true to say that almost the entirety of the population will be on Sittra's side and equally confident that the majority of the population believe his claims.

Agree. Being that covid will be around for decades to come I would suggest at least 1 possibly 2 boosters a year. Let's face it with a projected death toll of 852 people out of 71,801,279 it certainly is better to be safe than sorry. Of course the safety of the mRNA vaccines has now been shown to be highly questionable. Risk covid, basically now a non-severe virul infection or risk vaccine injury? My choice is clear. No more jabs for me that's for sure.

There have been severe weather warnings for at least the last 3 wks with no severe weather resulting. If anything so far the hot season hasn't been that hot IMO. As for summer storms one last week (nice storm for about an hr in Kanachanaburi where I was at the time) but that's been about it.

To afford a minimum payrise to a minority and only in specific areas and a particular sector of a single industry is just ludicrous beyond words.

Hon in Issan. Not sure about Eng spelling.

Cheers. It's a good site.

Where I am now just outside of Bangkok the humidity is 55% (I'm guessing wet bulb=humidity) and the temp is 35°C. Overnight min of 27°C with today's max being 36°C. Average hot season weather.

Not disagreeing. The temps they mention are to the standard of temperature taken in the shade. Sure there is humidity to take into account and what it now referred to as "feels like" temperature but that doesn't change the fact that the temps in the article and almost every day articles about "THE HEAT WAVE", SCORCHING HEAT", BLISTERING HEAT" etc. are basically average hot season temperatures. Nothing unusaul at all.

HOT SEASON!!!!!!!!!!! >40-45C for several days running then they would have a story. As it is it's a NON-STORY about average hot season temperatures. Edit: Actually tepms of >40C for days on end isn't that unusual during the hot season.

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.
