To us it may not be that complicated, but to the country it is. You have people who have the exact same beliefs as us of what should be done. But then you have a big section of do-gooders who have an interpretation of Buddhism, that yes, they don't even follow themselves, who campaign to put these restrictions in. 

As I said "moronic stupidity"

Like with everything, different governments have different focuses. Your post may well be right, however, different government will tell vets not to act and some will tell them to act. In recent times, a lot of restrictions have been put on local officials not to do anything re dogs. The local offices are just as pissed off as us as they cop complaints all day but are seriously restricted in what they can do. So they are forced to illegally sack a dog and send it to a neighbouring district at night.

 

Acting in self defence is, of course, a little bit different. But most people will be able to prevent a fear aggressive attack without killing - as the motive is in fact fear 99% of the time so it's easy to prevent/stop.

 

Stopping the spread of disease (rabies), will not cut it. You say 80%, where did you get that? My area was 0% last time it was checked out - so that reasoning obviously doesn't justify killing. Local officials vaccinate every stray they can find every year to address disease. Not what I would do, but will be their argument. 

 

I agree some aspects of what you posted should be used, however, it is a lot more complicated in reality than you seem to think. 

 

It's  not really complicated at all, it's made complicated by moronic stupidity, the Thais feign affection for the dogs but the reality, which can be seen daily, are many disease ridden animals given the absolute minimum of "real" care.

After updating the latest situation, Chatchai praised all relevant agencies, saying they had made very good preparations for this year’s flood season...........................................

The "true" story of course is very different but can't be discussed.

Small question, I read in the Bangkok post the reason was The NBTC stepped in to regulate drones as they are controlled by communication "radio frequencies".

My drone is controlled by Wifi signal only (Parrot Bebop) not radio communication?

Can't be arsed with more CRAP from the  unelected pratt's so will get rid of both.

2 Parrot bebop 2's for sale undamaged un crashed  with great spy  footage available, watch the locals move cows around the neighbourhood etc etc

Mr Takorn said flying and controlling drones needs to comply with the existing regulation governing related conditions by the CAAT. "People must be aware they cannot use drones which are unregistered because it will violate the Communications Radio Act.

So its a Communication Radio Act? Mine doesnt use radio communication?

Apt!

people will fly them. and so they should. but believe me many councils insist on flags on houses be taken down or threaten people with fines. recently a labour councillor posted a picture of a house with a st georges cross and a white van outside with the message "ghastly people"

Everything that's  wrong with "Thai Society" in those "rules", they should make those students  heads of the faculty and chuck out the old farts whose only job is to oppress the  young and instil those crappy "values" which they started enforcing at the earliest age from the  marching up and down at junior  school.

Scum the lot of them, and they call themselves "educators"

Well, I googled it. I have to correct myself: it was planned near Sattahip (so people in Pattaya will be "safe" if things go wrong; at the worst they'll be able to glow and find their way at night) in 2007:

 

 

Naval base proposed as site for nuclear plant
APINYA WIPATAYOTIN

The armed forces have offered a naval base in Chon Buri as a possible site for a nuclear power plant if other sites face opposition, a source said.

The military's proposal could help the project along, although the government has yet to finalise a decision on whether to build such a plant.

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont recently dusted off the plan, suspended for more than 20 years, citing the need for energy security.

The government considers Ranong, Chumphon and Surat Thani as the best sites, as they are close to the sea. The station needs water to cool its reactors.

The government has drawn up plans for a nuclear plant that could generate 4,000 megawatts by 2021.

The source said the naval base in Sattahip district fitted the conditions required for such a plant.

''Geographically, the Sattahip navy base is suitable as the water there is deep and it is remote from the local community,'' a source said.

Science and Technology Minister Yongyuth Yutthawong refused to react to the armed forces' offer, saying he had not been consulted.

''I can't say whether it is true or not. What I can say right now is that no decision has been made on the site. We need more time,'' he said.

He added that the ministry has been waiting for the government to approve a 10-million-baht budget to educate people about nuclear energy, and hold public hearings.

''We can't construct the plant without public support,'' he said.

Construction of the plant would take five years to complete and a decision on where to build it could be reached by October.

Korb Krittayakeeron, a former National Science and Technology Development Agency official, is chairman of a committee on the feasibility of the plant, with six sub-committees also looking at the issue.

Doubt it needs  "salt water" for  cooling, more  like for emergency "cock-ups"

Judging by the amount of "full" disabled  parking bays in any Tesco's I'd say there are a huge number of disabled people in Thailand, or maybe I'm mistaken?

LOL.   Yeah, like it's all about the public health, and not topping up the feeding trough...   'Not a swipe at the Thais though, as the dumbed-down public in the west has been buying this snake oil pretext for decades now.

 

Coming soon, Sugar  will be ranked alongside smoking etc.

I have the ability to choose and decide what I eat,  I don't  need to be TOLD, I understand the consequences and if I  kill myself eating them I accept    this,.

I won't expect the state to fund my healthcare ( not that they do anyway)

Yes it's  just a  tax  raiser under the guise of "it's for your own good"

If they're  cunning they'll raise it  just 1  baht per drink, start small always gets little  attention then later can ramp it right up.

How about a  tax on fat Police and govt. officials also?

Thailand, its  just a farce, how else can we  afford more submarines yet have roads in a  diabolical state out in the boonies!

Judging  by the photo I  can see the "normal" cleanliness  applied with piles of garbage, maybe they should use a flame thrower?

When you feed a  nation B.S from birth including their history and the lessons from the invading Burmese in the past then you can post even more B.S suggesting the same thing  will happen, hence the "fracturing of a nation". signs.

Civil war will end  this and in my opinion is overdue.

Thai nation must be one of the most  gullible ever.

Not clear?  Blimey, what does it take to make things crystal clear?

Those TV members who haven't taught in a Thai school, will not realise that this is just the tip of the iceberg.  I witnessed a Thai teacher cutting a ten year old girl's hair one morning, just because the girl hadn't tied her pigtails properly.  I've also witnessed far worse punishments than that.  The best part is, the parents don't complain, probably because their child's school life would become very difficult if they did.

 

I've said before, I could write a book, but I'll leave it there.

Ah; it's that word 'Reform' coming up again.  What's need here is a 'Road Map', several 'Committee's' and a 'Panel' to 'Probe' these matters !

 

They never learn; mismanagement; indeed feeble and incompetent management is a major hallmark of this country from top to bottom.   Every year they tell the people there will be no floods and every year there are floods.   Every year they tell the people there will be no draught and every year there is a drought.    Bullshit baffles brains and they rely on constant streams of bullshit as they are incapable of coming up with real solutions.

Don't  forget they will also need the "abroad trip" somewhere exotic to study it in detail, taking along at least 50-70 staff in a private plane.
