Perhaps the police can do what they're good at.......Turn a blind eye, and let the monster escape. Then Joe public et all can deal with him as required without delay.

Let him escape, then shoot him dead................should square things with the little one.

I suggest the following: If he is sick, he should stay in the hospital.

But obviously the hospital is not jail. So, the sick days should not count as days in jail.

If he is healthy enough again then he should go to jail and then they can start counting how much time he spends in jail.

It's hospital or jail. One or the other, make up your mind.

Eligible for parole after six months, with time off for good behavior, reduced to time served in Hospital - wouldn't be surprised at all...........good luck to him, then we can get on with our lives.........Cheers

To my knowledge, starting year or two ago one cannot get a visa for more than a month in Vietnam now without being married to a national.

NB. I went to Cambodia once and would never consider living there. To each his own though.

As of 15 August, there are 90 day Visa's in Vietnam, can be extended once then a border run for another 90 days so on so forth.   Hopefully they will reinstate the six month Visa for US applicants.........used to have a one year tourist visa for US folks, but that was years ago, no hope of that being resurrected.      Cheers

Rest in Peace Mr Wachira you had your reasons, right or wrong, and blamed yourself for the death of the other officer...........Peace

So he's living with a biological man? I'll bet he's finally relieved to be out of the closet.

 

 

 

Brigante7.

In his mind, he is not with a Man, but a Woman.......have known several couples like that in my day, to each his/her own.  Now if he will just stay of Social Media they may have a good life together.       Peace

At least , THEY do something to reduce the number of soi dogs .

They don't only talk and complain .

The dog haters here should support them . What they do significantly reduces the number of strays .

But killing , culling , poisoning dogs with antifreeze or rat poison etc , seems to be so fashionable to some posters here on this forum .

Sorry for their kids , if they have any ...

I used too until I saw the fleet of New Pajeros with the Soi Dog Foundation on them, I now support TMWRD Foundation.     I am neither a dog lover nor hater, but believe in my money going toward the purpose, not so someone has a nice car to ride around in.      Peace

Absolute nonsense, Vietnam's visa situation has been a disaster for their tourism industry since the end of Covid. While Thailand sensibly increased visa free entry from 30 to 45 days ahead of the last high season to kickstart tourism the Vietnamese pen pushers were still shuffling paper from department to department. It may have taken them 2 weeks to sign it off but it's actually taken them almost 2 years to get there.

 

The tourist numbers before and after Covid speak for themselves. In 2019 Vietnam attracted 45% of Thailand's total, in 2022 that number had reduced to 33%, so far to July 2023 it has still not recovered to 2019 levels. at 43%. Hence why they have finally decided to awaken from their coma and do something.

 

To tout the Vietnamese government as a model of fast responsive law making is laughable, it remains the epitome of a slow moving Communist style committee bureaucracy. 

 

 

 

 

It may have taken them two years to formulate their tourist visa plans, but only two weeks to approve and sign into law.........not hemming and hawing or protesting from every tom, dick, or harry MP like Thailand, that is all I was trying to convey.  Subject of this post is "PM looking into extending tourist visa's to 90 days". and Vietnam has done it already, only after two weeks from proposal.   As for the other parts of your post I have no argument, it wasn't part of my post, go cast your fishing line in another klong.        Cheers

Not really off-topic, but Vietnam just approved the 90 day tourist eVisa on 15 August 2023.......was 30 days .then you had to do a visa run......totally on line, application fee is $25 USD, then you pay ?? at the airport for the actual visa.   Certain categories of marriage visa's are 3,5, or 10 years in length.  Took them a whole two weeks to approve this change to their Visa Laws, wonder why it takes Thailand months, years or not at all.  Cheers

Jeez, so many twists and turns, you need a map to navigate, even then it would confuse us all.   It's like the skit with Abbot & Costello "Who's on First".  Maybe they are waiting for Tony Taksin to come back and straighten things out - he is the Donald Trump of Thailand.       Cheers

I have both Bangkok Bank and SCB; Bangkok Bank works on both app and PC Internet banking. SCB unfortunately only has app now, which is less convenient than using a PC. I also considers to move some of my accounts away from SCB.

Hello Folks, Concerning SCBEasy.net.  I tried last night and of course the banner (all in Thai) came up that the SCBEasy.net had been discontinued on 07/15/23, after a few try's, was able to download the mobile app - but there is an accessability setting on my phone that I need, but blocks the app from opening.  I am not in Thailand at this time, don't expect to get back till end of year............question is, how can I continue to check my balances if the mobile app won't open??  Any ideas.........would save me a lot of anxiety - always checked at least once a week on the scbeasy.net site on my computer - never use my phone for anything 'cept talk n text, once in awhile for new or directions.  Cheers

it makes me sick to live here

I  used to think that, then 15 years later figured out it makes no difference to the Thai Govt what we think.............we are a non-entity so why get our knickers in an uproar over a couple hundred baht??  Life's too short

His election is a truly great thing for this nation and shows that the people are both sick of being led by highly ignorant dinosaurs, with no interest in progress, and interested in smart, young folks, who are serious, accomplished, capable of change, and interested in insuring that Thailand has a good future. Pita is exactly what this nation needs, at this point in time. This is a huge blessing. I am optimistic. I think he will stick to his promises.

 

This is a man who interrupted his studies at MIT, during an MBA program at Sloan to rescue his father's rice bran oil business, Agrifood, after this fathers death. He was successful, and is paying down the 100 million baht his father borrowed to start the company. This is a serious man. Very unlike the failures before him. He then went back and finished his MBA, at one of the top business schools on the planet. 

 

The most important part of this equation was 42 seats for Prawit and 37 for Cha Cha. It was a huge repudiation for the status quo. The people said no, I don't think so, you guys are dinosaurs, we don't want you, we don't like you you need to disappear off the face of the earth. 
 

Go, Pita, go. We are behind you, proud of you and trust in you. You are giving us real hope, for a change. 

 

 

Watched his interview on Bloomberg, the man knows finance and International Banking........just what the country needs is an educated PM.   Go Pita.............my money is on you.
