What's the red or yellow pickup with passengers in theback?

The red are known as rod daeng. Cynical opinion is they call them baht buses in this article, instead of rod daeng, as locals & tourists detest the *&#$ ers.

They were useful once. However the city should get a real bus system. BTW Rod daeng drivers and the Pu-Yai owners behind them have stopped at least two attempts to do so in the last 20 years.

 

It is a farce but Disney is trying to increase litigation costs, as the payout is only 50K, it may not be worth it to proceed, as lawyer fees will eat a lot of that even if they win. . 

It should be noted the plaintiffs have already been paid by the Restaraunt/Pubs insurance company. And you can bet it was a BIG payout. Theya re just trying to pump Disney for an additional 50K.  Disney is the landlord, nothing to do with the Pub, staff, training, allergy protocols, etc. However a big name, with deep pockets ...  Always the money, always.

IMO it is unlikely that the lawyers tactic will work because the Ts&Cs agreed to relate to streaming services only.

This will probably be ruled to proceed to a Court case.

Then Disney will probably make an offer.

Then the negotiations start between plaintiff and Disney and the Restaurant.

Hope the restaurant has good indemnity insurance - and the employee better get a good lawyer.

Is not Disney doing this to increase potential litigation costs if they really want to go forward with this? Its is only a 50K pay out. Lawyers will eat up a lot of that, even if a joke of a case. It should be noted that  Disney is just the landord. They had nothing to do The Pub, its staff, training, allergy protocols etc. The plaintiffs are just trying to get a little cream on top of their payout by putting Disney on the spot& in the news.  The Raglan Road Irish Pubs's insurance company  has already settled. I can't imagine anything less than 7 figure amount and not in baht.

 They are all scheming and planning for years,

Yeah twenty years.

For all the cooing from the cheap seats about puppet master, two decades is a long time to wait, & yeah he has enemies. But they view the MFP as a bigger threat so. Still I don't think the T man wanted PM Srettha dumped like that. This is a power response, you want to play that way, here is what I got ... full house. Lets see if you can top that.

Disney is vile ... maybe.  They probably should settle if it is small as 50K but  ...

Kanokporn’s husband, Piccolo, decided to take legal action against Disney, accusing the company’s staff of recklessness

"The companys staff"  

The Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant, where the food poisoning occurred is owned by two businessman from Dublin Ireland. The restaurant and owners are directly responsible for food preparation and allergy guidelines. Of course they have been sued. Disney is not the owner of that Pub/Restaurant, has nothing to do with the staff, the training or allergy food guidelines etc. They are the landowner, that is all. They do make sure all business have insurance for incidents exactly like this. 
 

This lawsuit & is a secondary, just trying to mine more money. Not a Disney fan,  but you can assume Raglan Road Irish Pubs Insurance has already provided a payout for the claim, a significant payout.


 

The Deep State brings the  T Man back to spike the MFP's win, then turns on him. You gotta admire the audacity of their double dealing deceit.  

Another judicial coup, and what fun! The Deep state smacks down the T man's proxy after putting MFParty down for the count. All in a weeks work. That's a power move.

Thankfully I have a large & strong cup of coffee this morning. I'm going to need it. 
BTW, our offensive line is coming along, but that defense is going to tear helI off the cross this season. 

Transfer on Monday. Arrival date of August 9th, BKK Bank. Happy to get an e mail, money arrived late today. Only Four days. I exchanged e mails with customer service regarding this and a previous transfer during this last week. Their response was 'this is the way it is', nothing more & no explanation of why now. I have been a satisfied customer for years and will stay with them for now. However, I will also look at other options more seriously than I have in the past. 

I picked up liver flukes years back. I assume from Lap Gnu or Laap Mu (with the uncooked blood) consumed with copious amounts of alcohol, back when young & dumb. I'm older now. Can you get worms from street food? Sure, and a lot of other places. However excellent chance you will not get them if you pay attention to what the heck you stuff in your face. Over a decade, no worms or parasites. 

They are out there though, and parasites can be tricky little f--k-rs.

Why is US interested in the internal politics of Thailand?😬 

Like Always ,They Try / Want to Play Big Brother  over Everyone.

This week MFP leader Pita L. met with ambassadors of 18 countries in Bangkok. Interesting the Thai MSM chooses this article about a US Senator, but does not mention that meeting. Or the fact that the German Embassy invited MFP leader to lunch last week. Say what you will about the MSM, they know by publishing this article and ignoring the other events happening here in Thailand, they will get a kneejerk response from the usual mush heads. Further they connect up the MFP and the USA in peoples minds. 

Building the narrative before kneecapping the MFP. 



 

And ....

'Thanks for getting back to us.

I understand that your payments use to go faster, however, the process has changed due to Direct Debits running on the three-day systematic cycle and so take at least three days to clear.

The 4th working day is when we should receive the money and transfer it to the recipient.

When our system communicates with your bank, it checks to make sure the balance covers the total amount of Direct Debit transfers we’ve requested in the last 4 business days.'

Follow up-WISE said they sent money to the bank at 2:05 but the bank can take up to 2 days to put into my account.

 

This never happened in over 6 years I've been using WISE.

I just had this happen - I stopped the transaction. Tried to set it up again today and same thing. Sent a couple emails asking about this and yep same thing, with them saying 2 to 4 days and the last transaction would take 6 days, 5 now. Like what?????

First time in 2 years or more.

I have just been told by e mail from Wise, transfers will take 2 to 4 days. As for the one I tried to send yeaterday.. 6 days!! This is only a 1000 US ACH transfer,  which has been going through in seconds or a couple hours at most for the last two years. 

Has anyone else had this ... 
 

Again the above information was in response to an e mail I sent regarding the 6 day transfer date (!) Could not bloody believe it.

Thanks

Wall St dropped 600 pts on Friday. There was a sell off the day before that & jittery for the entire week just ended. That certainly affected $ to B rate.

 

143 million baht per month makes one wonder who the main users of the on arrival duty free were. Sounds like Kone Thai might be the real target of this, not international tourists most of whom never knew you could buy duty free on arrival.

 'it's a money loser' ... 'overpriced' ... yada yada yada.

Popular brands were no bargain; Johnnie Walker, Glenlivet, JackDaniels etc. However if you had something you like, less than popular, great deal. Say Meyers Rum for 500 B a liter at duty free arrival. Same price for over 15 years. Show them your onward flight ticket, even from Don Muang, they would wrap it, seal it, and you could carry it on domestic flight to your final destination.
