The two permitted exemptions are not illegal...they "tell us that", also.

What makes you "understand" that the RTP are involved in the Government Lottery Office?

Don't you believe her, you can claim any winnings, you don't have to be Thai or a resident.

It's the other way around, the Thai lottery has better odds of winning than most western lotteries. "Assoc. Prof. Wararit, an assistant to the dean and lecturer at the Faculty of Science and Technology, pointed out that the likelihood of winning the first prize is even more remote, with a one-in-a-million chance, according to the study". https://thethaiger.com/news/national/mathematician-criticizes-government-lottery-odds

Sales are not banned to foreigners. Tax ID numbers are not a requirement to buy tickets or to claim winnings. Bank accounts are not needed for winnings except for the largest prizes.

They've been doing it for some time now.

Your choice of position of that comma makes your comment unclear. Foreigners can claim GLO prizes from all the usual places, just not from KTB. Foreigners are not excluded from the prizes.

GLO sells the tickets to distributors and vendors so the treasury collects the proceeds and retains 20%.

"You do like logic, right?" Yes, I do, so how about posting some? "It has never been announced that he arrived on some later date". "The Corrections Department confirmed today (Wednesday) [August 23rd] that it had to send former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to the Police Hospital in the middle last night.. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thaksin-taken-to-police-hospital-for-heart-treatment/

"Thaksin is in the prison hospital". It's common knowledge that he is not in the prison hospital, he was moved from there to the PGH the night he arrived at the prison.

So what? Are you trying to say that means that he is not there now and has not been there even though he's been photgraphed there?

What facts are not readily available to the public that the public is entitled to?

Of course, they could be but, so far, there's no actual evidence of it. As soon as someone posts something that confirms that he is not there there'll be a case for condemning them as liars.

I agree with that 100%. I also think that facts should be considered ahead of speculation. There is a lot of misapplication of common sense and logic to be seen here.

Did it ever cross your mind, that your pedantic compulsion in commenting, questioning and correcting every member who voices an opinion not based on "official facts" or the absence therof, might offend and be taken as an insult? Their misinterpretation of my opinion, observation or comment (which do not constitute insults) would be their problem, so, no, it will not cross my mind, not for one second. I have never said that any member should post "official facts" with their opinion, I don't care what their opinions are but I do find it strange and worthy of response (this is a forum remember) that some members state falsehoods and speculation as facts, not opinions. They're not the same, you know?

..but at least accept that". Accept what?

And your point is what - that he wasn't seen somewhere five months ago? What's that got to do with his being in PGH now?

She was a prostitute? You know her?

No, Jingluck is still in Dubai. Thaksin's daughter is in Dubai? With his sister?

Careful with the lame, all-you've-got insults.

I'm grateful for your admiration but it's not quite 100% accurate.

My world of provable facts...what a terrible place to be. Perhaps you need to not tell other members what you think they should be doing.

Or any other smartphone.

Ok, ok, Thaksin is unequivocally not in the PGH, definitely does not have any illnesses, whatsoever, and is certainly not in Klong Prem, either. I know this because a bunch of AN posters told me, so it must be true, I just didn't want to believe the b0llocks of their "truth".

That post from five month's ago accompanied by a meaningless comment (according to Google Translate) is proof that he's not there now? Really? Brilliant.
