No depends if they knew or could find out, it's not a problem just a experience to get over once you find someone then no worries. 

Son in Law is a doctor. Probably need to do my first POL next summer.

Problem is the next guy might be worse.

He seems very Westernised so might not be as anti farang.

Don't panic, its all part of the plan.

A coup by who, exactly? The army, deposing him? He deserves that. Most of the leadership likely realizes the stunning lack of leadership the nation faces. But, who is behind Prayuth? And how do they feel? The students deposing the army? A very sweet dream. The people kicking out the army? Long overdue. They are despised like never before. 

None of the above. try again.

Buy yourself a cockerel.

I meant voting or presentation this afternoon in HOC (I presume... ) about latest "braindrain" from Boris about a law breaking int. treaty deliberately  

He has a parliamentary majority of 80. At least 40 of his own would have to vote against him. Not going to happen.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy but the Queen is 'above politics'. She is duty bound to sign legislation placed before her. I imagine that a similar situation exists in Belgium and the Netherlands? The major difference, of course, is that the governments of Belgium and the Netherlands abide by international law so would not place the monarch in such an embarrassing position.

Prorogation of Parliament? She could have refused.

It's already happened, but behind the scenes.  A person who needs oblique references to Harry Potter has already taken control, we're just being distracted by a puppet show.

At last, someone else who knows what's going on in Thailand.

The current commander of the army is a big talker, complains about people's lack of nationalism and does not seem to be coup material. 

And who might that be?

Yes porkies. It wasn't tanks, it was a fleet of APC's.

My wife is addicted to Thai news commentators on YouTube.  She thinks that there will be a coup that will happen in response to escalating anti-government protests.  Protests in Thailand usually take a while to build up, so she thinks that they coup won't happen until January. 

 

She also doesn't think that Apirat or Chacha have what it takes to be the next coup leader.  She thinks that it will be the next Army leader instead.

 

I don't know if she's right or wrong, but I think that Apirat has to retire soon, so if he wants to take over, the September 19 protests would be his best opportunity. 

Had it not been for Covid and the introduction of emergency powers, the coup would have already happened.

So international law does not apply to the UK?

Nope. We left the international community on January 1st. Now we're just a lonely little island floating aimlessly in the Atlantic. Did you ever watch "Lost"? We are that island, not on any maps, invisible to the uninitiated.

Took my life certificate to Bangkok Bank yesterday and they refused point blank to witness and said not the banks policy. I have had an account with them for 13 years but that made no difference. Anybody know anywhere I can get this dammed thing witnessed in Nong Khai please?

Doctor?

If someone doesn't take the vaccine, they are not putting others at risk.

Yes they are. You need 80% immunity for the virus to disappear. Until then people will continue to die.
