I didn't understand your last para. I also get my state pension which arrives at Wise on a Friday afternoon and am able to transfer it to Krungsri for immediate settlement at any time. Anyway, all the banks are open on Monday.

Yes, I know that and also Khaosod but because of the sensitive nature of this tweet, I decided not to post the link.

Maybe of relevance or maybe not. Apirat Kongsompong, former army chief has been sentenced to 30 days of punishment for alleged disciplinary offences. No link given,

That's funny, I went shopping this morning and yes, I was wearing a t shirt. I'm pretty sure it'll catch on one day.

As for financial institutions, July 31 is a standard normal day. https://www.bot.or.th/en/news-and-media/news/news-20230726-2.html

JUST IN: Prawit Wongsuwan resigned as @PPRPofficial leader in order to trigger a re-election of the executive board at a party meeting this morning. He’s already been asked to stand for party leadership again, as he previously swatted away rumors of his retirement. And unsurprisingly, Prawit has been re-elected @PPRPofficial leader as well as his right-hand enforcer Thamanat Prompow being re-confirmed as the party’s secretary-general. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1685127728100704256

Highly placed sources close to self exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra say that the plans by Thaksin to return on August 10 remains intact. “This is BS, all he (Chuvit) does is manipulate and spread rumors,” the source said. This comes just hours after whistleblower Chuvit Kamolvisit late last night posted on his social media that plans of Thaksin’s return to #Thailand were abruptly changed due to change in ‘circumstances’. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1685100908320063489

The Pheu Thai party wants the Move Forward party to make a decision on the way out for the eight coalition parties, over the conditions being set for wider parliamentary support for Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial candidate, namely that there will be no amendment of the lèse majesté law and no Move Forward party in the government, said Phumtham Wechayachai, deputy leader of Pheu Thai, today (Friday). https://www.thaipbsworld.com/pheu-thai-wants-move-forward-to-find-a-resolution-for-the-coalition-parties/

Thai Enquirer @ThaiEnquirer Senator Gen. Lertrat Ratanavanich stated that the 8-party coalition would have enough votes for their PM nominee by collaborating with the Bhumjaithai Party and the Chart Thai Pattana Party, making additional votes from the senators unnecessary. He said the senators' responsibility is to screen the PM nominee, not to be concerned about which coalition holds the majority in the lower house before voting for a premier. He also said that while the senators don't wish to interfere in the voting for the prime minister, it is their duty to do so. However, if the MPs can secure enough votes independently, they can bypass the need for the senators' votes altogether. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1684840301956067328

Patience my friend, patience.

I nearly choked on my cornflakes and strawberries this morning when I read a report in the BP. Paetongtarn could well be Thailand's next PM.

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has scheduled a meeting on August 3rd to consider whether to accept for consideration the ombudsman’s petition for the court to rule on the constitutionality of the July 19th decision by parliament, by a majority vote, to reject Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s renomination for the prime ministerial post https://www.thaipbsworld.com/charter-court-to-consider-ombudsmans-petition-on-august-3rd/

The Immigration Police will arrest Thaksin once he arrives at Don Mueang Airport since there is an outstanding warrant for him, said Corrections Department director-general Aryut Sinthoppan. According to normal procedures, he will then be transferred to court to request an order for his detention before being sent to prison, most likely to the Bangkok Remand Prison, Aryut said. Thaksin is facing up to 10 years in jail for multiple cases in which he was convicted by the Supreme Court. He said the charges were politically motivated. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1684147060340293634

And maybe Yingluck will follow shortly afterwards.

Pheu Thai party list-MP candidate Norawit Lasaeng stated that although the Senate can only be in power for another 10 months, they can still pick a prime minister as a caretaker Senate until a new Senate is formed. https://www.thaienquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Thai-Enquirer-News-Summary-July-26-2023.pdf
