  1. I contacted 1 vendor selling in Phuket shops and online throughout Thailand asking them what their plans are with their customer data - emails, bank deposits, Line sales. They told me I'm being too paranoid and this would never pass. All it would take is some police going in to gather all customer data then sending local police to knock on doors and search residences in different provinces. Police can charge 60,000 thb for any expat having weed in their premise. Weed Vendors need to come up with plans to dispose of all their customer data just before this law takes affect.
  2. Yet the Health Minister wants to promote more babies in Thailand. But NO ONE in this Gov will stand up to the large Agro-businesses (i.e., the large families) and put an end to this horrid problem. Health Minister more worried about the new Cannabis Bill to put the genie back in the bottle than speaking up against the large # of deaths on the hiways and the very poor air quality.
  3. Mis-count of Covid deaths. The junta gov. - mainly Anutin - congratulated themselves on their made up numbers of deaths due to China-crap-vac the gov distributed (and grifted from).
  4. In US the smog check done every year is automatically transferred to local agency before any registration is sent out. If you fail then no registration ... They designed the system to make it extremely hard to bypass. In Thailand you can pay 500 - 800 THB to inspector and get him to sign off on the smog check. Big difference! Police can / will check registration (based on colored tag) and pull you over.
  5. Need a way to link the biggest burns from overhead pic's to who actually owns the land and link it back to the agro-businesses. But, this gov would never fine these companies ... i.e., CP. The big companies buy up land and let the local farmers farm them (in Thailand and Myranmar). The big companies could buy proper equipment to use after the harvest of corn, sugarcane, and rice) in a co-op manner.
  6. Check No. 1 Bar & Cafe in Chiang Mai. Owner, k. Joi, is still a Belgium distributor. th.foursquare.com/v/number-one-bar/4e16acaf1fc7d99db5c77dc9
  7. It's too bad DeSantis wasn't a slave ... he could have learned some skills that he can move with after his failed election campaign.
  8. Yes true .... There must be an Amendment to get this changed. I believe it is covered in one of the 2 sections that can't be changed by the rewrite too. It always amazed me that the junta PM pushed the 20 yr plan so hard. He couldn't do this in the RTA .... he was dillusional though.
  9. And the PM wants Thai youth abroad to return home to this kind of Gov. What an allusion ... even his 2 sons won't come home! Yes, there is corruption in the West too but newcomers are naive to it there.
  10. You can search "Nigeria Chinese prisoners" for more info ...
  11. It's more than money. Look at what is happening with Chinese companies running the ports in Nigeria. The Chinese are importing Chinese prisoners to work in these companies thus a further hazard.
  12. Not quite the full picture. Different containers can not be located together due to hazardous material contained inside. Fire hazards are taken into account and containers with most fire hazards are loaded on the outer of the ships. Loading ships with various containers is a complex proprietary software (as well as storing on land as in Port of Singapore). Overall I don't see Thailand buying this kind of software or inventing it again. Port of SG are using big machines from HP (formerly Tandem Computers) at each port (4 overall) with NonStop databases (formerly Oracle database but these went down to often) to store the info and the proprietary software running on top. The machines can not go down thus many small Linux boxes won't work to date. I really doubt the Thai Gov has thought through the entire process completely.
  13. "Miraculously solve" this problem? Go after the big aggribusinesses and fine them! Thailand big aggri companies are producing a very large portion of this problem in Thailand and Myanmar. www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/tangled-problem-sugarcane-burning-thailand This junta 2.0 gov is again scared to go after some big elite families.
  14. This is how PM Sreetha wants to lure educated Thais back to Thailand? Starting wage at 18,000 thb / month ... I know foreign educated Thais won't become civil-servants, but the industry will follow the Gov's lead here. Add this abysmal pay to the lack of respect for their votes and the "elites" power here and you've got the recipe for why Thai's stay in other countries to work / live.
  15. Why would the young educated Thais want to come back after this last election (and all the previous coups). The younger generation want a democratic country and want to be heard through their votes. They want better pay and more opportunities which isn't happening in Thailand.
