All pale into complete insignificance when compared to adults wearing baseball caps back to front - summary execution!

There are a wide variety of "brown cough medicines" which would sort this.

Yes there are. And the same is probably true of the tax people. But, this would require a significant amount of work, cross referencing and collating the data they hold already. Quite a task, I recently had to fill out two forms. Each form asked for my personal details in different "formats, surname first, surname last, both Christian names, only the first name, passport number and date of issue in different order and so on. And that was in one Immigration Office dealing with one issue!

Any shreds of credibility he may have had rather went west when he described himself as the " Mary Magdalene" of the Republican Party in a media interview the other day!😃

Talk about linking the records of the tax, immigration and banking systems is perhaps ambitious. Their seem to be enough problems connecting data within departments let alone between departments. Immigration, despite computer entries and paper forms ( various TMxx) are basically unable to keep track of and apprehend overstayers. The communications people, despite knowing how many SIM cards are in circulation, both for foreigners and Thais, don't have a coherent picture of who has them. Banks hold multiple photocopies of passports, and continuously ask for more. None of these reams of paper, or megabytes of digital information seem to be cross referenced or collated in any meaningful way.

On the other hand, the Administrative Court may refuse to consider the petition. This will provide another photo opportunity for Srisuwan Janya to appear looking grumpy! A remarkably public spirited individual, who appears to have plenty of time on his hands, and plenty of resources! I wonder who funds him; and why, if so politically active, he didn't run for election last May! Maybe he is holding out for a Senators job come next May? Perhaps one to watch?

My bad, I meant state and federal justice departments.

If Trump wins in 2024 all the legal cases are irrelevant now. From day one the rule of Law in America will be over. He will go after the state and district justice departments, closing down all and any prosecutions which may threaten him, and exacting his revenge on anyone who was part of the prosecution team. When the rule of law goes, democracy goes.

Well I dare say the two translators care. The bizarre little mouthpiece for the Sussex's is blaming them for his weaseling little devious shenanigans. Their professional reputations are at stake, I hope that they sue the plastic ass off him.

If King Power are not happy it will not happen.

That is bull<deleted>. Thai government hospitals are clean. Comforts are basic, but wounds are not left undressed and blood certainly not allowed to pool on the floor. I was in one (Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital) for several weeks a couple of years ago. The surgery and medical care was excellent, it was clean, comfort was basic, the food was awful! A couple of people on my ward died whilst I was there. They were screened off, and nurses were with them. There families stayed with them. They were given privacy and treated with dignity. I was allowed a visit from a priest to hear my confession and give me "extreme unction", ( It was a bit touch and go for the first few days); I was given privacy and afforded as much dignity as possible - a nurse assistant even gave me a wash and shave before he came. No one even mentioned money until the day before my discharge. Then a lady from the finance office came and arranged a payment plan. The cost, bearing in mind I had two bouts of surgery, was not excessive. Not even 10% of what this report is talking about.

First rule of winter survival: don't eat yellow snow!

They have had to temporarily put the hunt for her on hold as they are a bit short on M79 grenades, a vital law enforcement tool!

If you are an expat with a teenage daughter it is quite difficult to ignore! Looks very pretty in that photograph doesn't she!

This case is concerned with alleged malfeasance in transferring her National Security Advisor. He basically said in public, after she was elected, that he didn't like her or her government and was quite simply not going to co-operate with her. So she sacked him, seems quite reasonable really. Nothing to do with rice pledging.

Presumably courier packages and conventional registered letters all have to pass through UK customs, and the time that takes may well depend on the address it is sent to - I can imagine letters containing documents to the International Pension Mail centre are probably waved through, packages to private addresses may arouse more interest. As for the air carrier, well they don't seem to have used BA for quite some time. Last I heard (pre COVID) they were using KLM via Amsterdam, before that via Sri Lanka! The difference between EMS and regular mail is simply that EMS is expedited within Thailand, after that it is all treated the same.

The real goal is to rise to head the Privy Council. Little formal publicly acknowledged power, but immense influence. I have long thought that was his long term goal. "Regency" is quite a palatable brandy...

The chap who comes round from PEA to read the meter has a hand held gadget which thinks of a number, adds on a few per cent and then takes away a bit, and then prints out a bill. The bloke who does the water supply comes around at a random time and date, every few weeks, consults a battered notebook and asks for cash. He stands on the road outside and shouts because he is scared of my chihuahuas! If I am not at home or do not answer his shouts he turns it off and beetles off. The valve is inside my property so I turn it on again, no one seems to check - never issues a bill or receipt!

Being called Shinewatra. Rubbing the "born to rule establishments" noses in it, by being overwhelmingly preferred by the electorate over their (the establishments) chosen candidate; oh and sacking a senior civil servant after he publicly refused to work for her government.

Plan coming together nicely...

Always has been "duty free" for tourists, sort off. I remember, donkeys years ago, buying a zip drive here in Pantip Plaza and reclaiming the tax at Don Muang when I left - very straightforward, receipt and passport.

I'm impressed! This new software on AseanNow manages to convey the taste of sour grapes along with a suggestion of burnt fingers!

The driving antics (and perhaps the condition of many of the vehicles) are more credible in the Mad Max movies!

Perhaps - although here unlike (possibly) some countries which were colonised in the past, it has been there own higherarchy who have been telling them to keep their heads bowed. It actually makes me feel quite uncomfortable when Thais bow down their heads when they pass in front of me - although I understand that it is just being polite.

I had to send my birth certificate and about a dozen sheets of A4 ( yes, 66th birthday approaching!) to the UK recently. I sent it by Thailand Post, recorded. Sent on a Thursday, delivered on the following Tuesday, tracked each stage of the journey. Cost 350 Baht or so.
