Good. I don't blame the Thais for getting <deleted> off with pee.

Getting very confused. Responses here are mentioning two passports of the same nationality. The article says two nationalities, which I thought means dual nationality. I was under the impression that dual nationality was now allowed. I remember former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva explaining to Parliament that he had no intention of giving up his British passport. Then mention of overstay, which surely doesn't include Thai passport holders. No mention of illegal Thai passports. Can someone confirm if dual nationality is allowed these days?

You're talking about a hundred years ago. I am talking about today, when people blow stuff up and run across the border. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/06/world/asia/malays-reject-accusations-they-aid-thai-separatists.html

Oh if only Malaysia didn't give terrorists a safe Haven.

Pity a reason wasn't given for the ban. Visitors getting high while tapping windows? Drunks throwing up in the canal?

The police forgot the other possible motives. They should keep a list of possible motives to fill the gap whenever a murder occurs... Murder-suicide; a mysterious third hand; a feud with neighbors; land dispute, aliens, the list goes on.

Many people here who have dogs expect them to be burglar alarms. I don't they would euthanize a dog for savaging a burglar. There is a guy near my home with two of the darned things that go up the soi sniffing and defecating everywhere. He has kids so i am just waiting for a disaster to happen.

Probably cannot as Malaysia protects the rebels with an eye of creating a Muslim buffer. Or even having the southern states secede.

No mention here that the target number of tourists is irrelevant to their expansion plans. The commissions from construction companies is much more important. When the airport higher ups retire, they will be wealthy and not responsible for the lack of tourists.

Unfortunately, the RTP would rather send corporals to prison than generals.

Not sure why Republicans point at Biden's age. Republican Senator Charles Ernest Grassley is 89!

I did read elsewhere that most Thai people cannot swim. A rare number of public swimming pools outside Bangkok. Parents forbid children from messing around in rivers. Who can afford swimming lessons when the next meal is important? If there are westerners here with Thai kids, teach them to swim.

Everything you wrote about Liverpool and Fulham seems completely irrelevant. As i wrote, he was welcomed with open arms when he arrived. That a military junta later tried him in abstentia and found him guilty (a forgone conclusion if they were to justify the coup), the UK still did not arrest him or return him to Thailand. In fact he was able to visit several countries later.

It seems like the Americans are still pushing plastic gloves over natural latex.

He entered the UK in 2008 and later bought Manchester City football club. The British didn't turn him over to Bangkok.

No one should forgive him. After reading about the children who were married to kings and noblemen throughout history, i wouldn't lynch him though.

People don't always get it. There are lots of police who are polite and helpful. I have met many and it usually involves the ones on office duty far from the street. Renewing my PR red book the guys in the office smile and are very friendly. For a street cop it is the pressure from above to collect cash that turns then surly. Some simply should be kicked out of the force immediately. Don't paint every cop as evil. It takes all sorts.

Good old Chuwit, playing the carrot while weilding the stick. He knows he can't be the RTP bete noire all the time. Sometimes he has to be Mr. Nice Guy. Massaging is the name of the game today. A gifted politician. He has a point, that police wages at the bottom are bad but that isn't what drives corruption. It is the ambitious seniors who want position, which is expensive, as well as the ones who know how much they stand to make if they push downward. I can't see him changing the RTP alone because that requires political will and this government just doesn't have it.

Any prosecution made following a coup d'etat is automatically suspicious. It may be one reason why foreign countries and states welcomed him with open arms - they are aware that a coup needs justification, real or not. Normally those who initiate a coup are severely punished if it falls. A success means do what you want.

How did they learn how to crack safes? Wouldn't it take years? Or are we talking money boxes with a padlock?

Could someone explain how to fly a balloon from China to America with no engines, wings or pilots. I can see that if you launch it when the wind is blowing east it will start off fine, but to guide it precisely over military targets, what's the trick?

Bad for ordinary people. My sympathy for the friends, families and relatives lost. However, I have noticed over the years that religiously pious people, like those in the area, never, ever say that God is punishing them for their sins when natural disaster strikes. After all a natural disaster is God smiting sinners, isn't it? What did they do?

Did they say they are adding barriers in a city that is already logjammed due to traffic lights and railway crossings? Would have thought the RTP would want to avoid more traffic problems. Interesting that someone said to himself, "no need to stop corruption, we can spend money on electronic barriers and i get 10% off the top."

A woman is usually involved.

It seems the Pentagon has confirmed that three Chinese balloons flew (or is that drifted?) Over the USA under the Trump administration, several media have reported https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3844511-chinese-balloons-flew-over-us-three-times-during-trump-administration-officials/ This explains why the government was sure they were Chinese. Previous experience. No confirmation yet on the purpose of the latest balloon (I guess Trump allowed the earlier ones to escape as he may have had confirmation they were harmless), although having fallen into 47 feet of water the latest balloon should have been retrieved by now. It would be helpful if the truth could be revealed as the speculation is driving me crazy.
