How do you conduct banking without a passport when your passport is sent off for renewal?
Egg on the face much? https://www.richardbarrow.com/2013/08/always-carry-your-passport-or-a-copy-while-in-thailand/ most embassies recommend the original or a copy, as I wrote.

Read the news. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/436133/passports-better-safe-than-sorry Thinking that a Thai policeman knows what a foreign driving license looks iffy not to carry a passport or copy. tell the US embassy they are wrong. We strongly recommend you carry a copy of your U.S. passport identification page and current Thai visa to help avoid detention by the Thai immigration police. Thailand's entry/exit information is subject to change without notice.Feb 7, 2020

You maybe right, but many believe the police can demand a passport. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/436133/passports-better-safe-than-sorry

How do you conduct banking without a passport when your passport is sent off for renewal?
As mentioned above, the British passport office knows it is against the law not to have your passport on you at all times in Thailand. Police would ask for it as well as banks. My bank doesn't even accept my pink card (they should but they don't). Just applied for a passport renewal last week and photocopied every page in color. as requested. They gave back my passport until the new one arrives in 11 weeks. They will cancel it when I get the new one. I guess the American embassy has a reason. Perhaps photocopy the picture page and fold it into your wallet.

Bhumjaithai party will not join Move Forward coalition: Anutin
Strategy: Let Anutin be PM of a minority government. Don't allow him to pass any legislation and call for a new election. Win by a landslide.

Pita and his “devil may care” attitude
Too many young people cheering him has led Pita to believe everyone supports him. But rural old people are very conservative and still support the status quo. Frankly, I think a political party can create new policies after it gains power, thus not contradicting anything.

Bhumjaithai Party MP found holding iTV shares, investigation called
The value of the media shares is irrelevant. The number of shares is irrelevant. MPs are not allowed to own shares full stop. As for getting rid of them, I suspect going to iTV offices or InTouch offices and saying take them back and get me off the list of shareholders has not been thought of or we would have heard about it.

The fact that Fox is not a news channel and it has been proven to lie (Dominion) then why is AN even quoting from it?

Europe to get even hotter as 50C (122F) recorded in US and China
It is no surprise that people think of climate change according to the weather in the place they reside. But if you look at how the global temperature has risen over a hundred years, it begins to make sense.

What Pita can learn from economic-crisis management to weather the political storm
I don't know if it the end. The Thai Rak Thai Party once won 325 seats in a landslide, so Move Forward needs to do better in the next election.

Lawyer Not Afraid Of Senators Suing Him For Defamation
I believe Thailand is one of the only countries that put defamation into criminal law, meaning you can be jailed. Usually it comes under civil law, meaning you have to pay money if you lose.

Move Forward lobbying intensely for votes to support Pita’s renomination
Getting all the small potatoes to vote for him is a good move then if a few senators join in even better.

House Speaker asked to not permit re-nomination of Pita for PM
If a law is being broken, bringing it to public attention is right - Peta seems not to have a party legal advisor and people are willing to let him get away with things. On the OTHER hand if the activist is wrong he can be sued for defamation.

Pita ready to step aside if his party fails to win senators’ hearts
If he steps down and is not put behind bars for 20 years he can return after the next election with a landslide. Very happy he chooses to avoid violence. I doubt his intentions was to stop Chinese tourism, just perhaps not to give away the country to China. Let's not forget it was China that funded the local communist insurgency here to overthrow the government in the 60-70s.
