Read an interesting observation on Twitter ... If the Senators don't listen to the people and vote some other coalition than Move Forward Party, then the Move Forward Party can move for a No-Confidence vote (not sure when they can do this) on whatever coalition gets voted in as PM. The Senators don't vote in a No-Confidence vote and thus the coalition in power is overthrown ...

You speak about the constitution that his party wrote? Of course he wanted amnesty for himself and the sleepy toad. That's a sign of a criminal that knows he did wrong. Does that make it right? Are coups acceptable political behaviour? NO. Did he break the law before the new constitution was written and pushed through? YES His reliance on China CrapVacs ... you really want to go there? No corruption? He appointed all the National Anti-Corruption Commission people. How is 'The Boss' case going? Did he release the report put together on all the corruption that is associated with this case as he stated he would? His nephew's involvement with the military construction contracts? His nephew's involvement with the tour bus business? People point to the 10,000 THB give away by the PTP. There was an analysis done regarding all the political party money give-aways and the actual cost for 10 yrs. Raising minimum wage to 1,000 THB was one of the most costly. The PPP party said they would give 30,000 THB to every farmer. Cost is high. You have very selective memory of all that he did (and DIDN'T do) over the past 9 yrs.

Sent the old dinosaur home along with his lackey the sleepy toad. Hurrah!!! Now make him move out of military housing as well. Maybe he has 1 more thing on his plate ... welcome Thaksin back home ???? in July. I'm not a Thaksin supporter at all, but if Thaksin must go to jail then Tu must go as well for taking the country by coup and ruining the country for the past 9 yrs.

Presumably, the direct SSA to NY Bangkok Bank ACH transfer then to your Thai Bangkok Bank is to show proof for 65,000 THB / month for Retirement Visa. Do the other methods work for the 65,000 THB verification?

Well stated. Leaves out whatever change happened last year made by the ruling Gov. The change was just window dressing though. How does Phuket get away with producing their own craft beer or is this done out of country? Chalawan and others .... A good Craft Beer scene would increase jobs for the younger generation - the brewers, the creative marketing (can illustration) and at the Thai establishments that sell their product. One big problem local craft beer makers have is pricing. They don't have the shipping costs or import tax that foreign craft beer have yet the locals price the same as imported craft beers.

I'm 8 kgs overweight with no diabetes. I stopped working out and stopped riding my Harley so I don't feel like I over exerted myself at all. I'm looking at your link ... thanks.

I've had 2 umbilical hernia's (really the same one) done at Ram Hospital in Chiang Mai last year. Both used mesh ... I now have another hernia just off to the side of where the mesh is. Any ideas why I would end up with 3 hernias all in same general location within 8 months? Hernia operations are fairly basic from my reading. I'm looking for ideas to research before going back in. I do want an MRI this time to see if anything else can be seen.

Besides just getting a yearly Visa Renewal without a passport, how do you show up for a 90 day checkin without passport? No matter how carefully you plan things if it is longer than 3 months it doesn't matter.

Yes, the big families (Agro-businesses) are linked to a large portion of the burning in Myanmar as well. Nothing can touch them ...

Should be the same for coup leaders as well. Just because the coup leaders granted themselves "amnesty" should mean squat.

How much Covid related money was "donated" to poor Thailand? Lets put all the money on the table if we're supposed to rationally analyze all the Covid related money.

I believe you can get your yearly visa extension 1 month in advance. Not sure if the Re-entry permit is attached to the old visa though ... you should ask.

All this skullduggery coming from a politician that says "I don't want to be PM" ... "Being PM is a hardship on me" .... He is such a slimy POS.

It would be good to know how much land the large corporations "control" - CP and PTT. There's no reason these corporations (families) can't buy the necessary equipment to harvest correctly. There are also machines that take the "rice straw" and "sugarcane straw) to be used to make bio-degradable containers - used for take-away food containers, straws, coffee cups, ... The farmers could be paid to haul the specific straw to a packaging plant and get a little bit more money. There are some solutions if the Thai Gov would invest a little rather than submarines and new fighter jets.

With the 250 Senators due to end their term in 2023 ... who will pick the next lot? The next PM???

A better response would have been for Prayuth to say he was looking into why a civilian citizen reported these misdeeds and not some RTP oversight committee. Prayuth oversees the RTP and thus under his purview. These incidents and some "outside the box" thinking might lead to some other areas that need oversight. But that would be actions of a true leader which he isn't ...

Poor Thai people ... Even if they vote differently their junta written Constitution is against the people with the junta appointed Senate.

What is the law pertaining to driving on the toll-way with police lights flashing? Isn't that against the law for off-duty police? I see police trucks (presumably on-duty) driving around town with lights flashing (and in no apparent hurry) all the time. Why isn't this stopped?

I'm not sure about Krungsri ... I know KBank does and my previous Bangkok Bank did a few years back. If you haven't noticed yet your bank may not or you haven't noticed it.

The "intra-province" banking fees at ATMs is a real pain in the a*ss. Even the bank specific Bank Apps support multiple accounts from the same bank.

Better to open a new account in CM (with same bank or not) so you don't have to pay "out of province" bank fees for depositing cash and getting cash at ATMs. If you have money in BKK bank for retirement visa, then leave that alone in BKK and just get a new account for ATM usage in CM. You can get the 2 needed documents for yearly retirement visa renewal at the CM bank and not have to travel to BKK to get them.

"Chuwit said this case was a "lesson for Thailand" and that the met chief, RTP chief and Thai PM should reimburse Mr Sky personally for the extortion. " Would love to see RTP chief and Uncle Too on their knees giving a proper wai to the Taiwan actress!

Yes, this is true for 7 days. Ask any police ....

It's really too bad Thailand doesn't have TV debates between politicians. It would be such a laugh to see Prawit debate Prayut on live TV ???? ... Oh the stories they could throw at each other.

If you get a written ticket then that ticket is "good" for 7 days for being stopped for the same offense. Paying in cash gives you nothing ...
