The airline should sue the media posting misinformation such as photos of a different incident relating to a 4 engined aircraft not belonging to the airline in question.

Totally Agree.

So the plan is to achieve income equality is by making foreigners' disposable income less...............well the average Thai wife or partner has beaten him to it long ago. I cannot see them wanting to loose out to the Thai tax man and still not receive any state benefits.

But Coup d'état are okay?

In 6 years in CM I have never seen a "red pick up thing" at the airport. I use Airport Taxi Service 100% of the time. 150 baht to central CM fixed price.

Did the unelected senators have a vote on the choice of PM?

I have used them several times.

Interesting - how does one do that?

Agreed. The Senators are not elected by the people and should therefore not have any voting power over the lower house. The current Senatorial appointments need to be time bounded - if not already. The Senators need to be elected by the people. They also need to be qualified to stand for election not just "connected" to money or the "old order".

Not really some are quite elderly now.

Protect the Nation from what ? SMOG hopefully. Road deaths perhaps. Foreign criminals seems unlikely. Corruption plenty of scope there.

Any mass demonstrations needs to be peaceful and with a cross-section of Thai voters not just vocal students. Senators need to be elected not appointed and even if elected should have no say in the choice of PM.

Some may have already recouped their investment..............others will have a supply & customer network in place and trading will continue.

There are many practical reasons for people wearing a mask all year round. For example having a tendency to ride a motorcycle with your mouth open,

I do that late at night with some friends.

It used to be said that the use of soft drugs would lead to the misuse of hard drugs. I guess in this part of the world the hard drugs are already widely available perhaps due in part to corruption.

Parking on floor 2 1/4 is key as the Mall parking is not fully open at 9am. Note there is no where to sit (no AC either) whilst waiting before 9am. 90 day report was quick & efficient as of 18th April circa 9am.

Will this levy be applied to foreigners who enter Thailand with a retirement visa & re-entry permit ?

This post does not have the correct dates due to the election.

I think there is too much focus on Regional airports only flying to & from Bangkok more cross country flights are needed. Chiang Mai to Udon, Ubon & Pattaya (UTP) exist but not on a daily basis. I have to assume the demand is just not there. Buriram airport - in the middle of no where - is undergoing a major expansion and currently only services Bangkok (DMK). Some one is looking to the future when the sea level rises & "swampy" can only cater for sea planes. However in the short term I think the Thais like their big family orientated SUVs & Pick Ups too much to consider flying for them the motor car is king and makes sense. It is not uncommon for families to drive from Chiang Mai to south of Hua Hin.

I thought the reporting of a suspects Nationality was not good form to be quoted in the media anymore at least until convicted. In this particular case and in law the suspects Nationality has zero relevance until convicted.

Kid napping ........................... Did any one take chase ?

Agreed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just trash being soaked up.

He if a continuing risk to his (ex) girl friend. So on what grounds did he qualify for bail?

Most if not all Thais burn - not just the farmers. Thais seem to do whatever the village head man says. So make all village head men liable for illegal burning in their area.
