  1. -Fear? Even fear of violence. -Need the handout for family to survive, so that kids have schoolbooks...
  2. Nearly a million Americans died from Covid- 19, trump, because of his ignorance and deadly stubbornness and his less than adult claims and comments and his way way less than adult thinking about how to cure covid- 19 was responsible for about 95% of the deaths.
  3. Trump has 'finally met his match' after Judge Merchan put him on a 'short leash': experts With a wide gag across his foul lying mouth would be even better.
  4. from above... - from USA SWIFT standard flat rate US$45. - from Aust. SWIFT standard flat rate AUD$15.
  5. "“Despite our best efforts, the number of accidents, injuries, and deaths remains high. We urge everyone to observe traffic rules, avoid drink driving, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition before hitting the road." 'Best efforts", as per the last 50 years. Is nobody in authority embarrassed by statements like this? Not really because if they did there would have been changes to road traffic monitoring etc. The "best efforts" clearly don't work, it's obvious and it's very very sad. Will it be the same next year? YES, because it's obvious there won't be any changes to how this is 'managed', mainly because nobody in authority has the capability (nor desire) to construct any different approach. I'm just so happy my family (Thai son, his Thai wife and their 4 kids) stay home and we do water splashing only within our own large garden, outside on the road banned.
  6. I'll go first: TS. Not currently an mp but why see that as a roadblock, there's a million ways to twist that into a positive, I'm sure. Gen P could help no doubt.
  7. I recall a previous 'event' when the whole electoral commission went on a European study trip, they departed Thailand the first day of the voting of an election. Before they left much complaint, the complaint I recall was: - Wives / spouses unhappy because only one day for shopping on the official agenda, for each of the cities included in the trip.
  8. Ultimate point: by law and serious, Thailand authorities must keep records of the location of everybody in Thailand: - Thai citizens, this is done through a Tabien Baan book kept at the actual residence but when update is needed that's done at a local gov't admin. office. (Tabien Baan book - in English household registration book), which lists the full details of the people who live at the address on the Tabien Baan book. - Permanent Residents - also recorded in the Tabien Baan book for the address where they reside. Updated as per above. - Various visas: long-term often recorded on a different coloured Tabien Baan book but still meaning for the address where they reside. Short-term: This usually means being registered on the hotel / guest house etc., records which are shared continuously with the Thai Immigration Bureau.
  9. Most foreigners would now that Thais who employ Thais pay minimum wages with zero benefits or even less than the minimum wage. Doesn't hurt to share a little.
  10. Through the glass bottle or the remaining cork?
  11. I'm also wondering about the 'reporting' staff, there seems to me quite a gang, most with very limited experience. some / many with very little time in Thailand / S.E. ASEAN, and some of their comments / summaries are not that good and many spelling errors.
  12. Sent various size/weight envelopes and cardboard tubes with X Rays from Chiang Mai to Melbourne and Hobart in Oz, always EMS, always delivered 2 to 3 days. Postal staff at the Central PO in CM always efficient, friendly and helpful. Basically same timing in reverse Oz to CM by EMS. Pretty good service.
  13. Sure and always remembering that the owners must respect / abide by various laws.
  14. Bye,close the door when you leave.
  15. Someone didn't read the earlier post, it says clearly the mods stay.
  16. Good, and you've achieved the impossible, a post which hasn't attracted the 'confused' emoji. Good luck to all concerned.
  17. Re the jury selection. If enough folks cannot be 'accepted', what's the alternative? I'm assuming that somewhere in the relevant act there would be an alternative - all possibilities covered. And i'm assuming there is an alternative because i'm believing that the case cannot be simply cancelled because 'no jury'.
  18. She has been very quiet since becoming VP. On the other hand prior she was impressive.
