    Just stick signs up in Thai in every administrative building and police station. Corruption: You will go to prison for 20 years! Also, create an anonymous whistleblower website that states that evidence, in the form of video, photograph/photocopy or audio must be uploaded as proof (no gossip).

    Does this, therefore, mean that Hamas also understands that any case of targeting Palestinian civilians were accidental and occurred during confrontation with Hamas forces? It is really pathetic.

    I had assumed that in America, like many other places, that if a judge were recused, fired or set aside, they would simply get another judge? Presumably, all documents would be handed in to the new judge and the case would continue based on facts and law. What bearing would it have on the Trump case except timing?

    Same here. The officer wanted my parents' names, address and phone number. I told him both were dead. Still, he wanted the phone number. I gave it to him and asked that if my parents answered the phone, please let me know. He nearly fell off his chair.

    Tend to agree. But also, for security purposes, passports are harder to counterfeit.

    I applied for the pink card following receipt of permanent residence. CW immigration told me I could use it as ID and I have at hotels outside Bangkok. Since then, I converted both social security number and tax number to the pink card number (one number, three uses) hence making life more convenient. Easy to carry in the wallet. I know some banks want the passport, mainly because they haven't been told about the pink card.

    Since independence, America has only had about 20 years of peace. Somehow, I am not surprised. However, I just hope that Europe doesn't support it.

    Thai politicians. Always "confident", never cautious, aware or prepared.

    I am surprised more pro-Trump supporters aren't clamoring to defend his call for presidential immunity. After all, he said it, not the liberal left.

    He has just cottoned on that if Thailand is the only ASEAN country to raise wages it will lose out to other cheap labor countries. Singapore is in ASEAN and wages there are appropriate for their level of development. Also, the education level is higher than Thailand.

    It must take time to open one of those numbers accounts.

    I voted in 1975 to join the Economic Community, only to not be allowed to vote whether to leave the EU. Voting is not fun when your vote doesn't count.

    Thailand seems to attract loonies. Don't know why.

    Maybe someone can confirm or deny, but aren't foreigners supposed to carry their passports, or a copy, at all times? I was told my permanent residence pink card would suffice, but how about tourists?

    Hopefully, this whole saga will have made voters turn against Pheu Thai, in greater numbers, in the next election.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2024/01/16/hertzs-tesla-liquidation-sale-likely-means-more-depreciation-for-used-evs/ Hertz, the largest U.S. fleet operator of EVs, has blamed the sale on high repaircosts and weak demand for the vehicles it offers on rent. I guess this is only in America but worth noting.

    Politicians, eh? Showing their maturity to run the country.

    I don't see education as a student problem but as a political will problem, followed by a teacher quality problem.

    Strange that weed is a big story and not alcohol fueled rage attacks or yaba induced truck crashes. Weed is probably the least dangerous soft drug.

    PRIME MINISTER SRETTHA Thavisin said today (Jan.11) he unfalteringly intends to run down the country throughout a four-year term There, corrected it for you.

    Great. Sell the land to creditors, maybe buy a motorcycle for the 12 year old and rent the land from the former creditors, who will lend them more money when they can’t feed the family.

    They appear to be lying on the grass, so in the temple area rather than in the temple.

    I have see a few Thai action films promoted as "thrilling" and was completely bored. Anyone remember a film called Fa? They said it was like an international film. Aside from the BMW the cops drove (!) it was utter rubbish.

    I had thought when you entered Thailand by plane you had to have a return ticket.

    Yes, I understand what you say but he was only a lieutenant colonel, not that high. I think as a former PM he held a lot more power. Still, if I were in hospital, I wouldn't want anyone I didn't know visiting...
