BasalBanality

Seasons greetings.

My sister-in-law (Thai) would like to apply for a joint home loan with her "best friend" (Thai, male, gay) of which the family is aware of and does not object, to invest in a condominium unit as investment.

Legally, is it possible for two unrelated Thais (in this instance, friends) to apply for a joint home loan from the reputable local banks (SCB/Kbank/TMB/BBL)? 

Or is a legally recognised relationship required, such as immediate family, married couple, business partners, etc?

A quick google shows certain banks require family or marital relationship to qualify but others made no mention.

Thank you any insights.

The poultry industry also disposes of baby chickens in the sea when there is an oversupply of chicken in order to ease downward pressures on domestic chicken prices, Pisit said.

 

Why waste them? Convert them into stock feed.

So those "in service to their superiors" are relieved of those duties and reverted to their actual paid jobs within Immigration?

I can't imagine the kerfuffle at the various offices, who's running the errands now?

If Prayut starts on his degree in public administration now, he'd have it done in 2570, better late than never.

Lead by example, inspire the youths.

How many were actually trained amongst the 90393 whom received training?

Mobile cabinet meeting in Korat Aug 22

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will lead the cabinet's first meeting outside Bangkok in Nakhon Ratchasima province on Aug 22, Governor Wichian Chantaranothai said on Sunday.

Gen Prayut and his entourage will fly to the Wing 1 air base in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima on the morning of Aug 21.

 

One wonders how long they will be away from Bangkok?

You used disassociated facts to make a debatable conclusion.  I'm surprised you haven't also concluded that capital punishment is responsible for global warming, as well as a higher murder rate.

I believe the correlation of global warming and capital punishment is inversely proportional?

Euphemistically referred to as "enhanced punishment". 

 

 

Malaysia is certainly not a civilised country, and is heading backwards 1,500 years. 

Cosying up with the House of Saud tends to leave one with the stench of Wahhabism.

There is public viewing of capital punishment - if you're keen just relocate to Suadi Arabia.

 

Perhaps a quick getaway, no need to relocate since air connectivity is rather convenient, all one needs now is for the public execution dates at Chop-chop Square in Deera, Riyadh to be made available on the internet.

Don't know about other countries, but a Singapore court judge has to witness an execution by hanging. The purpose is to drill into court judges that their duties to dispense justice is a very serious one.

It is a real pity they do not allow public viewing of the hanging. 

Your exceptions of the rule, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore have relatively decent human rights and freedoms, their state of social stability and resilience to external influences seems to be doing relatively well.

I'm fortunate to have residency in one of the exceptions, it's a safe harbor.

Being exceptions to the rule, much like how Thailand regards patronage with disregard to the law?

Well, that's just not true.

Just four countries considered to be industrialised still execute criminals: the US, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.

Death penalty is for uncivilised tinpot countries

If Japan, Taiwan and Singapore are regarded as uncivilised tinpot nations, how would you describe Thailand?

Lifelong prison sentences are a deterrent, give a nice revenge feeling, and if the convicted in a later stadium is found to be innocent, can be released.

And what of the cost of keeping these individuals incarcerated under long or life sentences? 

America's mass incarceration is an example of systemic failure of the penal system and the golden geese of a Prisons Industrial Complex.

So, who's misrepresenting the situation?

I'm surprised they managed to poll individuals who actually understands the process.

it is effective in keeping the drug crimes low, but I wouldn't go to the extent of saying its a 100% thats all.

Which if any of my comments thus far suggested that the death penalty or capital punishment is 100% effective?

really?

 

Singapore just executed a Malaysian Man based on circumstantial evidence for drug trafficking. 

If capital punishment is reserved for a certain crime. Wouldn't it be the utmost importance for all the evidence to be without a doubt before the sentence is mete out? 

If there is some evidence to suggest otherwise, I would prefer a life or lengthy sentence for drug offences just in case the justice system does not kill someone wrongly.

if death penalty is 100% effective, then why are there still Drug abusers and Drug traffickers in Singapore? I thought its supposed to be 100% ? 

As far as deterrence is concerned, the current state of affairs in Singapore is prove.

I'm curious to what legislations in any jurisdiction that are of 100% effectiveness, short of cleaning the gene pool?

I'm just interested in the kerfuffle that ensues after the verdict is announced.

Singapore is an example where capital punishment is effective as a deterrent. 

Cheap as chips, what do you expect?

Too much nudity?

One wonders if there is an equivalent dreamtime story that is share amongst the Aboriginals.

Let's revisit this in two decades and reap its fruits?

Restructuring. Prayut improves his political vocabulary, now that's pursuit of betterment.
