Looking through this thread, seems like most of the old members are giving this a miss.

Junta-appointed senator Jadet Insawang said Weds many senators will not vote for Move Forward PM candidate Pita due to party's pledge to amend the lese majeste law. Jadet added a national-unity gov't without MFP is needed & UTN can merge with Phalang Pracharath. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1663840807357669378

(1/2) Former Election Commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn told @PravitR Weds suggestion by caretaker Deputy PM Wissanu that all MF MPs elect may be disqualified if Pita is disqualified due to ITV media shares holding as Pita endorsed them to compete is farfetched but possible. (2/2) "Is this an attempt to lead [the EC and the Constitutional Court]? If so it will cause tremendous damage to the society so Mr Wissanu should just keep quiet," Somchai told @PravitR https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1663809606995558402 .

Exactly.

I fail to understand why these reports of motorbike accidents do not state whether or not the rider was wearing a helmet.

Jonathan Head And we have to ask… would True censor us if we were interviewing Prayuth? https://twitter.com/8td/status/1663356860903325696 True Visions, when will you stop blocking news from foreign news agencies about Thailand? CNN ABC was previously hit by this morning's BBC censorship of an interview with Phitha. Here is what’s being shown on screen during @BBCWorld’s segment that features @pakhead interviewing @Pita_MFP

I understand that when his wife entered the UK many years ago she had a stamp saying 'indefinite leave to remain in the UK' and after several years she applied for a British passport. When she returned to Thailand possibly she was unaware that she could have used her expired Thai passport to enter the Kingdom. I will update this thread if any further developments.

Many thanks for all the replies. Later when I speak to my friend, I'll inform his to tell his wife to stop any further payments.

Any thoughts on what or might happen if she stopped payments to the IO?

Quite agree, she should have entered on a valid or expired Thai passport.

Asking for a friend of mine. My friend’s Thai wife entered Thailand on a British passport approximately 18 months ago on a 30 day non-exempt. Since them, his wife has been paying B5,000 a month to an immigration officer due to overstay. The British passport has since expired and hasn’t been renewed. I understand that the Thai lady was living and working in the UK for many years and also held a British passport. The lady of course holds a valid Thai ID card. There is something not quite right here. Any help appreciated that I can pass on to my friend.

Asked about rumours that MFP may end up being in the opposition bloc, the MFP secretary-general said MFP and Pheu Thai leaders have already talked to allay concerns over this issue. MFP has no other plans as it is confident it will achieve the formation of the new government, which will become clearer in mid-June and is expected to be finished by next month. https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-1180292

Pheu Thai PM candidate Srettha met with Bhumjai Thai leader Anutin at a football stadium in England amidst growing speculations that PT is hatching an alternative coalition where it will lead the next gov't https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1663047510687109122

Ousted and fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinwatra denies on Sunday that Pheu Thai Party is cooking an alternative coalition-formation with pro-military parties as alleged by Chuwit Kamolvisit https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1663013262693400576

Pheu Thai party leader Cholnan Srikaew has shrugged off a suggestion by a group of “red-shirt” supporters that the party should withdraw from the coalition, led by the Move Forward party, or take the lead in forming a coalition government. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/pheu-thai-leader-dismisses-call-for-party-to-withdraw-from-coalition/

Here we go again: Between January and May 18, Thailand welcomed 1 million Chinese tourists, following China’s border reopening, a government official reported. The Thai government is optimistic about achieving its target of five million Chinese visitors this year, with an expected spending of 446 billion baht. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/thailand-sees-million-chinese-tourists-boost-targets-5-million-in-2022

If habitable within the next few years, I would seriously consider relocating to the moon although I would need to speak to the wife first.

There’s been another bribery scandal in Thailand. A journalist has been arrested in Thailand for allegedly using her connections with a senior police officer to demand 14 million baht from a Chinese suspect in return for having charges against her dropped. National deputy police chief Surachate Hakparn revealed the arrest on Saturday, stating that Guo Rui, also known as Gegee, exploited her working relationship with the police to demand bribes. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/journalist-arrested-for-demanding-330k-bribe-to-drop-charges-in-thailand-2

Would be helpful to know exactly where you are. South of the island, what island?

This is something we already know.

And yet another thread on the election. Just waiting for the next one which should be very soon.

The deputy director-general of the Excise Department stated that the department’s liquor policy is in line with the Move Forward Party‘s Progressive Liquor Act. The proposed Act aims to liberalise liquor production, allowing both small and large producers to enter the market. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/politics/excise-department-supports-move-forward-partys-progressive-liquor-act

Nearly a week later this guy hasn't been caught or if he has, was it just a B500 fine, slap on the hand and a wai. As I said previously, join the Bentley driver. Sickening.

The UK inflation rate has fallen sharply, reaching single figures for the first time since August. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65682243
