  1. A two year old child. Where was the grandmother? RIP

  3. Not sure if this has been posted. One moment please.
  4. Does it really matter. She the PM survives the vote.
  5. Although she wasn't the PM at the time Thaksin was admitted to his luxury hospital suite.
  6. The brain, at that moment, is telling you to eat marmite right now.
  7. OP. Then you're not looking: Khaosod English · 9m BREAKING: Chiang Mai topped the list of the most air-polluted major cities in the world anew on Sunday afternoon, March 23, shortly after 2pm, according to IQAir app. Bangkok is at Number 5. Twenty more cities in #Thailand are also in red today
  8. Also Radio Free Asia Saksith Saiyasombut This is heartbreaking and infuriating - and incredibly shortsighted and narrow-minded. (1/3) The federal grants that fund Radio Free Asia and partner networks were terminated Saturday morning, according to a grant termination notice received by RFA. Jonathan Head Agree wholeheartedly. A terrible move which damages the flow of information in this region, damages US standing, and hands the floor for media influence to China - surely not something @SecRubio wants to see? https://x.com/RadioFreeAsia/status/1901052767080157640
  9. Response to the recent policy announcement by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 1. The Thai Government notes the policy announced by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 and in this regard, the Thai Government has received assurances from the Government of China concerning the safety of the Uyghurs and will continue to follow up on the well-being of this group. The Thai Government has also clarified this matter with countries that have concerns on many occasions. Thailand has always upheld a long tradition of humanitarianism, particularly in providing assistance to displaced persons from various countries for more than half a century and will continue to do so. 2. Thailand has always and will continue to value the long-standing and close treaty alliance with the United States, based on mutual respect and shared strategic interests both at the bilateral and regional levels. https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/response-to-us-announcement-2
  10. US-based Freedom House downgraded the level of freedom in #Thailand from partially free to "not free" in its latest report. The dissolution of Move Forward Party & the deportation of 40 #Uyghurs were among reasons cited. It now joins #China & North Korea. https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1900822305900818668
  11. Jonathan Head An extraordinary move by the US against a long-standing treaty ally, despite Thailand’s clear drift into China’s orbit. No names mentioned, no specific sanctions but the buck surely stops with PM Paetongtarn, who chairs NSC which made the deportation call. https://x.com/pakhead/status/1900771647080329491
  12. Followed closely by the US Government: Announcement of a Visa Restriction Policy to Address the Forced Return of Uyghurs and Members of Other Ethnic or Religious Groups with Protection Concerns to China Press Statement Marco Rubio, Secretary of State March 14, 2025 Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to current or former foreign government officials responsible for, or complicit in, the forced return of Uyghurs or members of other ethnic or religious groups with protection concerns to China. We are committed to combating China’s efforts to pressure governments to forcibly return Uyghurs and other groups to China, where they are subject to torture and enforced disappearances. I am immediately implementing this policy by taking steps to impose visa restrictions on current and former officials from the Government of Thailand responsible for, or complicit in, the forced return of 40 Uyghurs from Thailand on February 27 https://www.state.gov/announcement-of-a-visa-restriction-policy-to-address-the-forced-return-of-uyghurs-and-members-of-other-ethnic-or-religious-groups-with-protection-concerns-to-china/ I reckon this affects at the very least the Thai National Security Council that decided to deport the Uyghurs, incl. the PM, the army chief and ministers of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Justice. In similar sanctions against other countries, it also incl. their families. https://x.com/SaksithCNA/status/1900740333148979373

  14. No mention of B12 and iron supplements being key players in brain function.
  15. What has the most deaths, tobacco products or e-cigarettes? I thank we know the answer to that simple question. Again, shame on Thailand. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8748352/
  16. And more so especially if these other two remittances were sent on say a regular monthly basis. I don't think the RD would class them as tax free gifts.
  17. Your state pension is assessable income. Any of that income remitted over 150K would be taxable subject to any deductions and allowances.
  18. In how many posts have you stated this as stated in your first para? I'd need a calculator to add them all up. Yawn.
  19. No mention of the woman being arrested or perhaps it's just a fine of 500 baht. Sickening.
  20. (1/3) Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsaeng posted on FB a memo from House Committee on Laws, Justice & Human Rights meeting on Jul 10, 2024, stating a rep from Thai Foreign Min told committee, the US, Australia & Sweden have expressed interest in resettling (2/3) The Foreign Ministry rep added that Thailand has the consider the sensitivities of the matter as Chinese envoys have been persistent whenever they meet the Thai counterpart in demanding that these people be sent back to China. (3/3) The memo added the Foreign Ministry doesn't know how #China would retaliate if #Thailand allows the #Uyghur detainees to be resettled in a 3rd country & special consideration should be taken as Thailand & China are celebrating 50 yrs of relations in 2025. https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1897201028552122825
  21. Exclusive: Canada and US offered Uyghurs in Thailand asylum before deportation to China, sources say https://x.com/panuw/status/1897162268028362851
  22. (1/2) BREAKING: The government has approved the sale of alcohol on five major Buddhist holidays at select venues: international airports, night life establishments, hotels, tourist venues, and sites of national events. (2/2) The move is geared toward promoting Thailand Grand Tourism and Sport Year, sad Deputy PM Prasert Chantararuanthong on Tuesday. The five major Buddhist holidays include Makha Bucha, Buddhist Lent, and Asaraha Bucha Day. https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1896817567186157684
