The no-win solution: Thai government a go-go
Best plan is to call a new election asap. This time win by a landslide. Some news agencies claim MF wants to scrap 112. Better start clarifying that is not the case.

Trump wants to execute people who engage in human trafficking.
Every time some idiot with orange hair says use the death penalty. I remember that since 1973, at least 190 people who had been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated after it was too late. Maybe the number seems low but what if your father, mother, son or daughter were wrongly executed? Feel good?

Brilliant. Just what the generals need, a provocation to take over the country for another 10 years.

How do you conduct banking without a passport when your passport is sent off for renewal?
If you go into a bank with a driving licence they won't open a new account without a passport. It may not be the law but they have their own rules. The problem would be if the OP went into a bank and demanded they accept some other form of ID. "A guy called Lucky Bones told me" isn't going to cut it unfortunately.

They say it is the law. I made a recommendation of passport or photocopy. You may not have been here long enough to know that the police don't care. They ask for passports. You can argue "I know the law" but they have a reputation for asking for a passport. I just came from the bank and the passport was the first thing they asked for. I showed my pink card but they took the passport as it was used and registered with them when I opened the account. My recommendation is always carry the passport or a photocopy. The embassy recommendation too.

As embassies also recommend carrying your passport or a photocopy I don't understand why you deny this.

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.

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.- More than 400 dead in Kenya doomsday cult as more bodies exhumed

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.- Has the Dumbing-down of British TV Become a Blight Upon the World?

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.- Bangkok to start using AI in management of traffic flow
