What a joke, this is the iron bar weilding individual who is charged with verbal abuse. Typical Thai justice!

One of the big negatives Thailand faces is the legitimacey of what the media actually report, they so often get it wrong completely misleading the public, often printing rubbish just to get a story out there leaving readers confused & often biased. The media have published statements supposedly made by Pita & MFP that dont enhance their chances of Pita being PM. He is well educated so I find it strange that he would make these statements knowing it will damage his chances of success!

What a circus, Prayut and his bunch of clowns should be put on trial for the changes they orchestrated to the constitution. They way in which they bought the changes was far from democratic and unconstitutional but just typical of what you would expect from a bunch of rogues! Their newly elected speaker is probably on parr with the likes of the USA's Nancy Pelosi, lets hope he's not as crooked as she is!!!

I divorced from a Thai wife in Thailand recently, I had a lawyer draft an asset list which everything is split 50/50. We took this to the local Government office where we both signed along with official Thai divorce papers and in front of 2 witnesses. They gave us both a divorce certificate and another paper to myself incase I wanted to re marry in the Kingdom. I must check to see if I should notify my Embassy of my new status. My ex has residency in my country which means she can move there anytime she likes, live and work as she pleases. She doesnt have to do 90 day reports, doesnt need a visa or a work permit if she decides to work. She can buy a house outright if she chooses and after a few years of residency is entitled to all the rights of a citizen.

Hardly a worthy comparison given the BS Covid restrictions that the world sadly accepted up until mid last year. If this year wasn't an improvement on last year there would be something for Thai Tourism to seriously worry about. However low season has been very low and came early in many parts of the country. Given the global economy & the Russian invasion of Ukraine dont get too excited, the 2nd half of 2023 may not be so good!!!

I guess the losers need to blame someone so why not the USA. The media never let the truth get in the way of what they believe is a good story plus any sort of political turbulence suits the military and its Generals!!!!

Did I miss the bit where he has to pay back the 20 million and that his 5 year sentence is to be served in prison? He probably went halves in the 20M with the prosecuting authority presiding over his case so thats why it wasn't mentioned?

It would be nice if what you said is really what you mean!

Its not about protecting the local wine competition but protecting Mr Chang & Mr Singha !!!!

What a bunch of rubbish, there are lots of reasons why currencies fluctuate and sometimes a weak currency isn't a bad thing given Thailand tourism which just happens to be very much low season right now which is quite possibly one of the reasons the Baht is a little low. I would say when Pitas government takes power the Baht will strengthen given the positives of a non military government.

How could anyone with a real conscience have dialogue with a murdering pack of low life's like Burma's Junta. It is an absolute disgrace that the region hasn't demanded reform and reinstatemnet of the democratically elected government. China's Xi should be insisting that they reform or there will be no further project development but thats an indication of his level of integrity, he doesnt care as long as he gets a port and a railroad and pretty much whatever else he wants. Its a disgraceful region with the exception of a few!!!
