Burma Bill

Yes indeed. China relies on Burma's rich natural resources, especially oil and gas which is pumped from Sittwe in the Bay of Bengal across Burma to Kunming in China. The country has a very big influence in Burma. Reference (Google): Since 1989, China has supplied Myanmar with jet fighters, armored vehicles and naval vessels and has trained Burmese army, air force and naval personnel. Access to Myanmar's ports and naval installations provide China with strategic influence in the Bay of Bengal, in the wider Indian Ocean region and in Southeast Asia. Of all its trading partners, Myanmar traded most with China, which accounted for over 26 percent of total trade volume.Dec 19, 2022

A type of "sting" operation??

Maybe "Camel Republic" in Cha-Am would be more appropriate??

Does the hospital use water beds?

If that is the case, then arrest and imprison Prayut and his cronies for treason when they staged the coup in 2014!

Absolutely brilliant, especially if you lived in the North of Thailand (as I did in Lanna throughout the premierships of Mister T and Yingluck). Agriculture and infrastructure improvement projects, business investments and expansion, prosperity for the local communities etc. etc.. Money was directed away from Bangkok to help the rural areas and their provincial cities.

One of the air hostesses??

Making arses of themselves again???

Has he been smoking marijuana by any chance???

So much for the earlier promotions of "Safe and Trusted Thailand"

With the greatest respect, a case of "the blind leading the blind"?

Maybe after the General Election, it will be criminalised again by a new parliament!

Why not - I always do, but not an expensive one! (before anyone says "look at your smartphone" - I do not have one)

Yes indeed. As a long term ("air miles") customer with Air Asia, and as suggested above, you can book a Premium (Red) seat in the front of the cabin with the airline. Red seats provide much more legroom and priority when boarding commences, also the overhead lockers are empty. You will also be among the first passengers to exit the plane on landing. As a valued customer, I am often upgraded to a red seat at no extra charge when on a "fly-thru" flight.

Now we know why the 1,000 baht exit fee - from all those rushing to exit Thailand should there be trouble (like another coup)??

From link to OP:_ He urged the expressway project contractor to be more responsible in ensuring safety for drivers and commuters travelling on Rama II Road. For reference from The Nation 8 May 2023:- ......the project contractor, CBT Consortium, will be responsible for compensating the deceased and injured workers, as well as the owners of the damaged vehicles. The consortium comprises China Harbour Engineering Limited, Buriram Thongchai Construction Ltd, and Tipakorn Ltd. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40027365

Yes indeed! Welcome to neighbouring Cambodia and Vietnam.

yes, this has been pointed out to me by an AN moderator. It was my error.

Thank you and my apologies. I have no complaint, just praise.

With respect, completely oblivious to any traffic coming from the right???

Now the possibility of decent bacon with breakfast instead of the awful Thai "streaky" stuff????

Thank you Asean Now for using the words "Burmese girls" rather than "girls from Myanmar". Myanmar was a renaming by one of the earlier corrupt and evil Juntas in 1989. The official English name was changed by the country's government from the "Union of Burma" to the "Union of Myanmar" in 1989, and still later to the "Republic of the Union of Myanmar". Since then, those name changes have been the subject of controversies and mixed incidences of adoption.(Google)

Great news and common sense at last. No doubt there will still be those in Thailand, including some ex-pats, that will continue to spread scare-mongering and paranoia among the population - just follow AN!!!!

Same here across the border in Cambodia.

Possibly migrant workers rather than Thai - Burmese, Laos?
