  1. Simple, nobody's got any spare cash and the banks don't want to lend anyone.
  2. I'd think having a production line in Thailand is a way of getting around the 'Made in China' tariffs.
  3. "Secretary-General of the Council of State Pakorn Nilprapunt announced that Charn Puangphet had been suspended from duties in 2012. The suspension stemmed from allegations dating back to 2011, accusing Charn of embezzling state funds." "The Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases Area 1 accepted the case, suspending Charn from duty until the trial’s conclusion. The next court hearing is scheduled for mid-July." The Justice system here certainly knows how to drag it's feet when it wants to.
  4. Thanks very much for the replies, I'll give them a try.
  5. Hi, just wondering if any of you have sourced good quality d-mannose within Thailand. I've bought from Lazada/Shopee for a few years but the last lot has been vastly different from what I've received in the past and makes me suspicious it's not genuine. Thanks for reading.
  6. I used to work for the Police back in the UK. We had a career burglar show us how to get over walls like that in less than 30 seconds by running a digging spade along the top and then throwing some heavy duty sacking on top. It means nothing to a professional thief.
  7. Not clear from your post but are you adding that million bht to other income because the tax on a million is about 115k bht, less if you're retired.
  8. Not totally rotten as he seems to have steered clear of heroin trafficking.
  9. "...using a temporary electrical setup." Well there's your problem.
  10. "It is suspected that the driver may have dozed off as the truck approached the curve, causing it to lose control and overturn." Nah, looking at the video he was just going way too fast for the curve.
  11. Does this mean all previous unauthorised deductions will be refunded in full?
  12. "...revealed the deer darting out from an alley beside the convenience store before being struck by the vehicle" "...and then attempted to cross again, only to be hit by the refrigerated Toyota pickup." "The deer made another attempt, leading to a third fatal collision." Pretty sure the Police will rule this one a suicide.
  13. "The developers have yet to respond to the allegations" Defamation suit coming up.
  14. They're all busy on their market stalls.
  15. "17-year-old mother allowed her 19-month-old son to vape" "The 31-year-old father" "Despite multiple warnings from the 30-year-old grandmother" I think that family is <deleted>.
  16. I'm sure the organisers public liability insurance will ensure the best medical care for all those injured during their event.
  17. 3% a day? In our village daily rates are between 30 and 50%. Borrow 100 bht today, pay back 130-150 bht tomorrow. Madness!
  18. It's being going on for decades how else do you get Generals with a net worth of hundreds of millions of bht? Another favourite is giving conscripts the option of staying at home but then all of their salary is then passed on up the food chain. It's no wonder the Armed Services are so loathe to give up such a lucrative money spinner that's conscription.
  19. "In the wake of this development, the THA conducted a survey to assess the financial impact on hundreds of Thai hotels, which amounted to a cumulative loss of 111 million baht." "Hotels in Bangkok faced losses of 12.72 million baht, the northern region 632,244 baht, the eastern region 4.04 million baht, the western region 888,151 baht, and the southern region 92.88 million baht." This two paragraphs suggest the loss to Thai hotels was indeed 111 million bht.
  20. No amnesty for anyone who staged the military coup. They must be held to account for their crimes.
  21. If you find money in the street or anywhere else and keep it without either attempting to find the rightful owner or not handing it over at a Police station you are committing 'theft by finding'.
  22. If you find money in the street and keep it without either attempting to find the rightful owner or not handing it over at a Police station you are committing 'theft by finding'.
  23. It's easily found on Google just not within Thai news because of it's 'sensitivity'.
