Prayut calls on everybody to join the fight against plastic

I looked up "plastic" in the urban dictionary, and when I saw their definition, I thought, he has a valid point !

Politicians make pledges to voters during an election campaign, and people vote accordingly.

Then you get <deleted> like these, who, now elected, feel free to change allegiance, (obviously for financial gain), leaving the people who voted for them and their, then, policies, in the lurch.

Another sad side of Thai politics.

Drunks impact everybody when they get behind the wheel. Any moron from another country who comes over here thinking they can break the law because it's Thailand should be deported for life for DUI and if they hurt or kill someone should face attempted murder/murder charges.

The topic is about opening hours, not drink driving.

In my 14 years here, I have always got home after drinking, by taxi or shanks' pony.

Thailand's religious affairs department has said that it is OK for novice monks to play video games. 

 

It's good, if it keeps them off the Ya ba, lao khao, and stops them from abusing kids.

The family have said they may prosecute the teacher concerned. 

 

It should read "The family have said they WILL prosecute the teacher concerned"

It's time to stop the financial bribe to let things like this go away, and free the said teacher to carry on in their job. They are not suitable to teach children, and should face the full force of the law, if guilty. 

Think of what the child has been through, before thinking of financial gain.

He insisted the process had been undertaken with transparency and aimed at prioritising the state benefits.

I'd be highly skeptical that any winning bid for Government contracts were aimed at prioritising the state benefits, rather prioritising high up politician's benefits.

“After hearing the comments from the Immigration officials, my own view is that I don’t think TM30 will go away any time soon.”

Correct Johnathon.

I think most sensible people realised this as soon as a suggestion of a petition was mooted.

Unfortunately, we foreigners, farangs, aliens, call us what you like, are never going to make any Thai officials change any rules or regulations they have brought in.

imo 95% reason of 'escapees' don't have enough money, basically as simple as that -  the rest of the stories being justification. That being said it's a tough break and depending on circumstances could happen to anyone..

100% correct.

I can't realistically see any person who left Thailand coming on this thread and admitting they made the wrong move. It's all about convincing themselves that it was the best move they made.

I know quite a few who have left, over the years, who, whilst here, said they were really enjoying life, and it was the best move (coming to live in Thailand) they had ever made.

Most of these have no further contact with their friends who remained, and who are still enjoyng life here, but you do get feedback about how bad some people who left are living back home, like working on a zero hours contract in a care home, and living in an HMO (house of multiple occupants) in some impoverished city over there.

What chance is there for the country, when you have a <deleted> like this as deputy chief of counter corruption commission ?

It's early days, but I'm kind of enjoying this "coalition" !

That a group of foreigners could possibly change Thai laws to make things more convenient and useful, is also inconceivable.

I rest my case.

I will post more here depending on how this post is received.

I think it should be obvious (after only 15 posts) that this will not be necessary.
