Artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes are there for producers to use. Why not profit from? The government should promote a sugar free diet using substitutes. But I guess the sugar companies have a lot of clout.

Seems I am ready to stand for president of the USA.

It seems no one noticed this sentence: Passengers also claim they were offered 'a 10-franc voucher (£9.06)'. When do the Franc go out of common use? Is this really a 2024 story?

If Thaksin is released on parole, does being convicted of another crime means he has broken the conditions of parole? If only Paetongtarn had voted Move Forward...

Is there any free parking left in Hua Hin?

Does America have no one fit to be president?

Former Prime Minister Mark Abhisit Vejjajiva was born in the UK and still became PM. He still holds British citizenship. At least Pita was born here.

What's the point in being richer than a farang pensioner if one has to follow the hoi polloi? Wealth is power, power creates wealth. The trick now is to re-enter politics while looking sick. Tough one.

It is good to see America introducing universal healthcare. Wish it wasn't only for the White House.

I suppose raising rates will impact those with loans now, which suddenly become expensive (unless fixed rate). I am simply guessing that raising rates will create more non-performing loans in this case. I wonder sometimes if it isn't always the interest rates that affects economic growth but also the quality of the borrowers, who shouldn't have been allowed to get into debt in the first place.

For goodness sake. Didn't the videographer have anything better to do?

Move Forward was planning to get everything passed through parliament. Does that count as "legitimate"?

I assume a panic attack is something serious and hard to control by the victim. Some sympathy for him is due. Unless it wasn't a panic attack and he just decided not to wait.

Really interesting topic. If only the OP had not used the acronym without explanation I might even find it useful... 🤔

Again, the Thai government addresses the symptom not the root cause.

5 million? I would value it around 2,000 Baht. That's just for the metal.

I couldn't find the age of the grandmother but if she was in her eighties, she may have been taking her life in her hands to video the rape as she could have been beaten severely and the video destroyed. The fact that she had a video and the police did nothing is the incredible part.

You have to feel sorry for him, having to wait so many years for his mother to go then getting sick shortly after his ascension.

I remember reading that thais were often naked in battle except for tattoos. Women wore skirts and went topless often. Europe needs to claim it patented trousers and blouses now.

It seems like Thailand is yet another "hub", this time a hub of kiddie fiddlers. As long as the police do their job the matter will go away until the next time, more's the pity.

A pity the "artist" didn't mention how many yobbos high on weed started fights in the concert.

Never heard of any country where so many people fall from balconies. The Costa del Sol in Spain comes to mind. So many drunken tourists but no headlines about regular defenestration.

There are Thai people pointing out that a certain group took Suvanabhumi Airport hostage for a month and were given a slap on the wrist.

The article should have mentioned the three issues. What I am puzzling with is, if a law says, perhaps indirectly. "you cannot change this law" and you try to change it so that it says instead, "you can change this law" are you breaking the law by trying to change it?

I don't know if I understand this correctly, but why do people think the court should be elected by the people or do what the people wants? The constitution and the laws of the land inform the court what can be done or not done. If the constitution contains clauses protecting any institution, that is what the court must follow. I don't see they can choose to ignore or change the constitution at the beck and call of "the people" . Perhaps the court can interpret, to clarify something, but it would be duty bound to follow the law wouldn't it? Perhaps the fault is with the writers of the constitution, but a new government would still have to be cautious of breaking the current law while trying to rewrite it.
