Coup supporter alert.
Hope you are proud, you have assisted in destroying the future for millions of ordinary Thais.

1 hour ago, webfact said:The upshot was there was no resolution but to proposed three alternative ways forward including rehabilitation, a return to state enterprise status or a bailout using a fund known as Vayuapak Fund 1.
There's a fourth option which seems not to have been considered; just let it die.
The three ways forward all involve using taxpayers' money to bail it out, and only rehabilitation will have any chance at fixing the root causes of why it doesn't work, and that is a very slim chance at best.

Ok so a THB25 billion bail out is being considered but what about the other 500 billion it owes?
It won't be able to fly anywhere unless it services those debts as we have see plane seizures before.

how many people were tested
a critical number they seem reluctant to put out there which makes this data incomplete
Such as it has been from the start because only testing numbers give us a true indication of the situation.

Jonathan Head telling it like it is on Twitter.
Also note that a conviction for drug trafficking in Thailand carries the death penalty.

I agree BUT the court only rules on the law as it is written or inferred. The court may actually be right in terms of the law.
What I am amazed about is this even went to court, how can such a criminal be a cabinet member in any country? What depths Thailand has sunk to. I thought this place could not shock me anymore, I was wrong.The guy has a fake degree, so therefore he is ineligible by Thai law to be a politician.
A diploma given by the Thai military is not a degree, although they are trying to say that it is the equivalent of a degree, which is simply not the case.
If it were, why did he buy a fake degree from an online university?

As a foreigner good luck gaining entry to Australia with drug trafficking convictions.
As I posted earlier I know two Thais that have been convicted of serious crimes (one served five years in a Thai jail for drug dealing) that have been to Australia. One still lives there.
You can buy a clean record in Thailand. Everything is for sale here.

We also have to remember that the people issuing these verdicts are completely under the control of the mafia clans here and are s##t scared of issuing any verdict that could have a negative impact on these people, no matter how ludicrous or ridiculous that decision may seem to outsiders, for fear of retaliation, physical violence or perhaps even being murdered.
As I have said many times before over the last 30 years until this country breaks the feudalistic rule of these few mafia clans it cannot and will not move forward.
Every coup further entrenches these clans and erodes the rule of law to the point that we are seeing now where they system is fundamentally unable to function properly and reaches a tipping point, where mass protests occur and violence by the authorities is used to cement their position in power. It is now happening again.
Were it not for COVID-19 I suspect we would have already seen a repeat of the disgraceful scenes of the last decade, where protests occurred almost daily, culminating in the deaths of innocent people including nurses and foreign journalists at Rajaprasong.

Not seeing the double standard though as a foreigner cannot be a standing member of parilment here.
Apples to apples.... not apples to oranges.
The double standard is that criminal convictions for felonies issued by foreign justice systems are only recognised for foreigners.
Nothing to do with returning home, it is how and to whom the law is applied.
It's an absolute double standard and if you can't see that you are blind or being deliberately obtuse.

This country has always been considered a laughing stock by Western countries and probably always will be.
Stuff like this just affirms Western governments were right.
The irony here is in early 2000's Thailand had the chance to move on and mature, but it shot itself in the foot again by having two military coups in the 21st century.
Two military coups in the 21st century. Just think about that. You don't get more banana republic than that.

Cant help but think the comparison to a worn out Bar Girl is entirely appropriate.. Scarily so..
Back in the flush of her youth she had a constant stream of wealthy visiting admirers... It was trips to the islands, nice resorts, and seafood dinners, young rich guys from Europe and USA treating her right, getting paid to do what she would have done for free.. Party all night and luxury by day.. All was good in the world and no effort needed..
Then sure her looks started to tarnish but there was still plenty of takers.. Nightclubs till dawn, maybe they didnt spend the whole holiday with just her, but easy to get a new one most nights.. Anyway hard to go back to the farm after seeing the bright lights of party towns..
Then ?? well there was at least steady volume arrivals.. A bit of beach road FL to top up the rent.. and she'd had the best already.. As long as there was some money coming in she was content..
Then it was Boris, her Russian flirtation with his big belly, vodka from 7 and a captains hat.. That lasted for a few years and kept her in salon fees and lycra dresses at least.. But then he stopped coming..
Then it was the Chinese and Indian 'volume tourism' got caught with a group of them one time and couldn't work for a week or two till the bruises went down and she could walk straight.. The resentment sets in.. Maybe start dipping a wallet or two when they sleep, they treat her like <deleted> anyway so why not ??
And yet still the dreams of a big score.. Sure shes compromised enough but doesnt she deserve her 'quality tourist' ?? Hasnt she put in the hard yards and traded her pristine nature for a bit of commercial success ?? Where are those rich young bucks from her youth ?? Where are the bell ringing spenders who used to take her to fancy dinners that cost a months wages back on the farm ??
You have all probably seen it, or stages of it at least.. Sad when you know them.. And yet its a mirror to the entire tourism scene..
Post of the year contender right there. ????

It's funny when you think about it, when you apply for permanent residency here in Thailand they require criminal records from your recent place(s) of residence. Bloody hypocrites..
Thai criminal records here are much like everything else in the country; a badly run joke.
I know of two Thai felons that received visas and have visited Australia when their convictions prohibit them from being eligible. One actually received a work visa and is now settled there I believe.
They take us for absolute mugs.

The only Thais I can think of any great significance were either born, educated or went abroad at some point.

From the article in the Thaiger:
"The Court maintained that, as the case was tried in another country other than Thailand, his conviction has no bearing on his standing as a member of parliament in Thailand. That same standard doesn’t hold for foreigners who enter Thailand with foreign court convictions, which are used to deny them entry."
Basically they have just admitted there is a double standard for themselves and foreigners.
What despicable, inadequate, little people.

that we'll ALL be vaccinated soon, and when you really think about it, what difference does it really make...maybe a few months of waiting?
The difference is COVID is already out and about and it will kill a few of the most vulnerable expats first.

What I would say though is that if expats can spend 2k on an afternoon delight with some splay-toed massage girl then surely they can fork out a few purple persuaders to go private and buy the vaccine??
I pay social and taxes so why should I have to pay again for what non-contributing Thais get for free?

I hope moving forward that any foreign gov donating money to Thailand - be it vaccines or other medical needs - stipulates that Thai gov vaccinate foreigners as well as Thais. With the Australian gov donating 68 M THB to Thailand, but now the Thai gov states that Thais will be vaccinated before any farangs is pure <deleted>!
With all the corruption in this gov here, they should force some level of transparency before donating any money here too!
This only emphasises how weak and spineless our home country governments are when dealing with corrupt regimes such as Thailand.
Sickening.

Why should our countries donate anything when their rich have billions upon billions and don't seem to be putting their hands in their pockets?

This will give them further power to shut down dissenting voices.
Meanwhile 'good people' that like to frequent high-end sex clubs in Thong Lor and have parties and gatherings won't have to explain their motives, movements or face any repercussions.

How will it be more expensive to travel from now on? Less people and same amount of hotels. Not rocket science.
I am currently looking at flights from oz which by the way has locked borders and Cathay pacific is still cheaper than its ever been.
It's simple economics. People are in more debt, have less money and airlines have been ramping up debt for 18 months now.
You can't leave Australia on a Cathay Pacific flight, so no wonder it has to be cheap, once you can leave watch the price double or triple from here.

Yes. Exactly.
The peak was reached last week, but deaths lag new infections by up to 3 weeks. So you get to panic for a little more time.
One area of concern is Kong Toey, where the positivity rate is high. There could be tens of thousands of hidden cases, we will know soon.
So last week was the peak but it's not the peak because of Klong Toey?
I'm even more confused now.

The new Czar has truly lived up to many peoples expectation. It is one hell of a sit show.
When you put a soldier in charge expect the 'charge of the light brigade outcome'.
That charge, while immeasurably stupid, was incredibly brave, an attribute that cannot be associated with this administration.

Wanted American arrested for murdering pregnant wife in northern Thailand
in Thailand News
Posted
I know many criminals here on the run and in my years here I have met one of Scotland Yard's top ten most wanted, drank with boiler room scammers, armed robbers, even murderers in Bangkok one of whom had been on the run from the FBI for 35 years.
Since I moved to Chonburi last couple of years I have met no shortage of dodgy types expecially in Pattaya including drug dealers, guys that run illicit gambling operations and yep, even more murderers.
So respectfully, I will disagree with you.
