6.7% when MPC policy rate is 1%? 

must be raking it in.

Most of the people in this picture are not wearing masks.

Deport THEM....

An unfortunate incident.

Comments have been made that the report 'incorrectly states' that the aircraft was being towed to a disembarkation point. I don't know if the report is true or if the commenters are correct.

I cannot see passengers or steps in place in the photographs. 

One commenter says a tow bar break is a rare occurrence, which, in my experience, it is. But it does happen. There is a shear pin in the bar, designed to break before tug pulls the nose landing gear off the aircraft.

There is normally a person on the flight deck, briefed to operate the brakes. Tug drivers normally signal by horn toots. It does help enormously if the brake system is presurised. Pumping and releasing the brakes on an aircraft a couple of times will depressurise the system, unless the system is kept pressurised.

The tug driver may well have signalled the brake man on the flight deck and expected the aircraft to stop. 

When I was learning tug driving, I was told if the pin breaks, if it's a push, stop, if it's a pull, drive away in the direction of travel if you can. In both cases, blowing the horn, or shouting or both, so the brake person can see whatever is happening.

RIP tug driver. 

Ah now people know who he is. He was just another over promoted idiot up to now. Now he's world famous.

He regrets saying what he did say, well, sorry old son. You p issed on your own firework.

This rant is now viral. Shows the world exactly what you think of farangs who abide by the World Health Organisation advise and not take a mask handled by you. We don't know where you have been.

Such hate.

42 tonnes. That's a lot of unmilled rice.

27,000 per day Chinese visitor shortfall, giving 300,000,000,000 baht shortfall on the year.

Baht shortfall divided by Chinese tourist shortfall is 11.1 million baht.

Divide that by the year and each Chinese tourist would be expected to contribute around 30,400 baht per day to the economy. Hmm...per day? 30,400?

Sceptical much...

Coo...

Amending the Constitution to restrict the powers of the people running the coup.

Coups do not recognise Constitutions. That's why coups are held.

it's another crock of deleted .....

How can a lower court postpone the reading of a verdict of a higher court?

The Supreme Court should have announced its verdict. It does not need The defendants to be present.

Sometimes I wish they knew what they were talking about. But only sometiimes. I need a chuckle now and then.

It will continue to go up and down like the proverbial whore's draws, as the currency is dependent on other student's performance. 

The pound GBP recently has been 37 baht, 42 baht and is now 40.5 baht. No one can tell me this is just to do with the baht. It has a lot to do with confidence in the GBP generally. This applies to all currencies.

The consumer believes what they want to believe, and, at the moment, a lot are wetting their pants  over this virus.

it is right that sensible precautions should be taken, just as you would when on the roads.

Not So 'well mannered' when behind the wheel of a car or on the bike as some would hope.

I would say it's worse than Paris or Rome, but better than anywhere in northern Africa. Even though Thailand is number 2 in the world for road deaths.

There is risk inherent in everything we do. People risk their lives to escape from what they see is danger to themselves, or to try and improve their lives. The problem being, those countries perceived to be 'safer' or 'better' are small in number, and cannot save the whole of rest of the world. Nor should they have to, nor should they be made to feel guilty that they don't.

You do what you can,  Not want you want.

Best place for a dying man. Prison takes care. Who takes care outside prison?. Family? Selfish <deleted>, foist yourself on the generosity of others. Serve your sentence and die in prison, at the tax payers' pleasure like you were supposed to. A 150 year sentence meant you were never going to be released. Get over it.

What is overcharging? If prices are not regulated or controlled, in a capitalist society, items will sell for what they will sell for. 

If prices are state controlled or regulated, it's not a free market and the prices are set by the government. Yet...see below.

Not guilty enough to be charged...just increased prices...

Strange statement.

Are they not guilty of overcharging? Yes, market forces increase the prices,supply and demand....

Are they guilty of overcharging? No. No known 'standard price' yet, so how can they know if the shops are 'overcharging' or not?

I had the family history told to me by the wife over the years. Also been in the village on many occasions and now, for many years.

Land of smiles?

No.

Land of gangsters, violence, a level of ruthlessness I'd never been witness to elsewhere.

But I'm still here.....

Lucky to be alive to be prosecuted.

Sounds like it's time to get the old Noddy Suits out again.

NBC suits to those not familiar with the term.

I also did not stand during the anthem, but I'm a crazy Brit.

What the heck is a 'special advisor' and why is age 59 significant?

Free trade my backside.  Nothing is free. All is protectionism.

quid pro quo.

30 day visa exempt, not a problem, as Taksin seems to have been able to to come and go as he pleases..And certain others, that warranted 3 unmarked police cars racing up the M3 from Farnborough airport to London on a regular basis.

Hun Bunal changed his name 2 years after joining the Khmer Rouge...

Damn, Darwin missed this one...

Aw, boys will be boys...

That, in my mind works out to be 10% of tourists were Chinese. Once I figured out what he was saying....

Even if no Chinese came, 9 million would still have come. The article didn't specify revenue, but if the Chinese spent the same as domestic and other foreign tourists, that's a 10% hit. If they spent twice as much as everyone else, that's a 10.77% hit....isn't it?
