How swiftly was this minister on the case exactly? The government took over the University in 2023 because of this cheating, so presumably it had been going on for a long time before 2023. Not swift at all.

If he had lied he would have been caught out by the evidence and taken to court surely? Instead, people without evidence keep repeating he lied as if that means much.

Why is this news? No one cares about the shenanigans of the royal family nowadays.

Can't expect superiors to rub shoulders with the people who pay their salaries I suppose. But what about this economic crisis I keep hearing about? Is it over then?

Honestly, who hasn't had sex in public or in a car?

Foreign criminals need to be banned. Come to think of it, every member of their family should be banned too. Blood runs thicker etc. Let them have a family meeting and say, "What have you done to us Frank? What did we do in Thailand? Nothing except have you as a family member."

Really. They aren't rabbits you know.

Tourism is the key focus of the Thai government - not human resources development, not high technology. I feel that locals here wish westerners would just leave their money at the airport and immediately fly back

All the talk about weed doesn't explain how they are going to give jobs to the people they will throw out of work, from farmers to shop owners. Talk about throwing oil onto the economic fire.

Thanks

Psst, don't tell anyone but there are two horseracing tracks in Bangkok. Schtum

Why do people get so addicted to alcohol?

Not bashing. It became normal for Thais to screwdriver foreign parts together. I have yet to read of a Thai engineer designing a car. Perhaps you can name the Thai brand.

Seems like the tide maybe going against Chinese EVs elsewhere. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8_kmrzs6ud/?igsh=YnU0cmF1a3kwcnIx

So you don't think working class Thais will suffer most from all the alcohol available? Check out the articles of husband's killing wives while smashed. Then imagine many more drunken husbands.

My only wish is for Labour to save the NHS. Raising taxes on billionaires is fine but too high and the South of France will beckon. Frankly, Starmer is not the PM one could have wished for. Much too flighty. Changes direction with the wind. I noticed that Jeremy Corbyn kept his seat in Islington as an independent so him and Farage will provide Starmer with some very exciting PMQs I am sure.

Yes, but if Taiwan is considered part of China, then it was not an enemy vessel. It would be like a Songkhla ship being stopped at Bangkok Port.

So it is a screwdriver assembly factory and none of the parts are actually made in Thailand. Is that right?

Except for Rutnin, where I had two cataracts removed, I use my nearest hospital for diabetes testing and medicine (pills are paid for by my corporate health insurance). As others mention, there seems to be a thing in Thailand about selling pills at inflated prices for everything. Can't complain about the quality of doctors. When my prostate ballooned, I went to my local hospital and a famous 5 star hospital in town for a second opinion. Both said the same thing, which gives some confidence that I'm not going to pop off soon. More worrying was that I used to know a young man who was doing his medical degree. He could never answer my enthusiastic questions about his studies, telling me, "I took that exam last month and can't remember now."

I hope Labour has planned what to do if they are elected. The last time they went after rich people's money, Elton John and others moved to another country. They will have to allow foreign doctors and nurses in again. There aren't enough Brits qualified to do the work.

He should get into another debate urgently. If his performance is bad again he is out. If it is an improvement, he stays.

Very confusing. If Taiwan is considered part of China (by the Chinese), then it was in domestic water.

This must be a joke. All the major parties are involved in the cheating.

Will they include tourists in this should all day drinking be instituted? Alcohol is a drug, isn't it?

Will encouraging factory workers to get drunk all day will not help the economy that much? The government cannot believe that the tourist numbers are enough to guarantee a lot more income? It will be the Thais who suffer.
