The last "premier" was a village idiot, so in this instance even "dumb" would be a slight improvement.

New Visa fees beginning on 19th March 2024
lordgrinz replied to Kiwifarang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The biggest problem with bumping up over 1 million baht will be leaving money in a Thai bank account without deposit insurance to cover it. They dropped the coverage amount to 1 million baht now, which is an issue if asking us to put above that amount in a Thai bank. -

Maybe they're like my wife, she just bought another condo, mainly for renting out (up to 4 now). -
Irish mobster dodges law with escape to Thailand
lordgrinz replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Both are extremely dangerous fugitives with warrants for their arrests, but can't name them, or show their faces?! So, nobody knows who they are and they are free to travel around the world untouched, and under secrecy?! -

Thai Goods: Anutin rejects pity-based purchases by foreigners
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agreed, I was looking for some quality Authentic Thai goods to bring back for friends on my last trip back to the USA, not much of anything worth buying, I settled on some high grade (i.e. costly) Silk Ties and Silk scarves, because the cheaper ones were poorly made. The only other thing I found many years back were some well made pottery up in Chiang Mai, but really there isn't a whole lot of quality goods made here. -

When I use Google translate on the original title, it says "crashed the engine" but not sure that makes any sense either. -
Thailand’s ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra paroled raising legal questions
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just going to have to wait until the next generation before having another chance at meaningful change happening, by then all these dinosaurs will be dead and buried. For now it's a lost cause, think 20 years down the road, or move on. -

Thai police officers face bankruptcy with debt over 300 billion baht
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Are these debts from buying higher positions? How much flowed to people like the General in the article above? The entire RTP should be investigated, every financial movement, every satang tracked. I'm betting we can find where all these billions of baht went, and to whom, time to clean house at the RTP starting at the top.- 76 replies

Maybe, with any luck, he'll be appointed to the Privy Council. Then he can avoid any jail time like his nemesis Prayut, though he may have to wait in line behind Prawit. -
Thailand battles highest bile duct cancer rate in Southeast Asia

I was way healthier living in my small town back in the US, food here is questionable at best, toxins are a given, and stress is off the charts.
