    Just an inspired guess based on past handouts. Agree with the sentiment in your post though except that I'd wager the 10k wouldn't even last a couple of days if it were handed out in one go.
  2. edwinchester
    Not if the 10k is drip fed to recipients over many months. No way will the Govt drop everyone the whole wad at once. Best guess would be 300 bht per week or 1k a month.

    Unlikely because only those who tested covid+ were included in official figures for covid infections.

    Political views are fine but when somebody is put in such a position of power without any form of election by the public and then uses that power to help overturn the will of the people then they must be called to account and shown for what they are.

    Yep I'm dazzled and probably vajazzled by that lot.

    This is what happens when there is next to zero enforcement of laws. Until everyone is led to believe that there are actually consequences for their actions it will continue.

    If those vermin were destroying my home they wouldn't be around for very long.

    Maybe the bus driver needs to get ready for the manufacturer launching a defamation suit.

    Tax on an income of 400k bht, married man's extension, is 17,500 bht per year. Wonder if they'll throw in free Govt Healthcare and a Thai pension as benefit's?

    What's nearly as disturbing as the original story and comment is that somebody thinks them funny. Some readers are pathetic, sick <deleted>.

    "He was the leader of the Student Federation of Thailand in 1998/9 and a founder and editor of the Fah Diew Kan political magazine." I'm sure there are supporters of the previous administration already scouring these sources for political dirt in the hope of a charge that disqualifies him from political life.

    Probably because hospitals and clinics are very reluctant to carry out an atk test for whatever reason. We all tested for covid when we got sick as we got a warning we'd been in contact with a victim.

    Don't know about flu but covid is making it's presence felt at my daughter's school again. We all had it 10 days ago and she went back to school yesterday. She was poorly for 24 hours, wifey and I achey all over for the same but the cough seems to b hanging around.

    At least half of our village would be in jail, really! Astonishing how many homes have illegally held weapons here.

    “The debt relief will be offered to small-scale farmers and SMEs without the need to prove any hardship,” Sounds legit. Say your deep in debt without having to prove it and wait for the cash. No scope for corruption at all.

    Standby for deja vu all over again.

    I concur as my kidney stones totally cleared up following my introduction to Mrs Palm and her five daughters.

    You don't, either something was lost in translation or the journalist had little clue about the subject they were reporting.

    Try contacting the Thai Office of Consumer Protection, they maybe able to help you with a refund.

    All that's been outlined so far is a reduction of conscription quotas, no figures at all that I can find. Saying they'll be moving to a voluntary system next April, as in the article linked, is fanciful at best.
  21. edwinchester
    https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG230904125047634 Only a reduction in conscripted numbers, not an end to conscription itself.

    I think PT has burnt any bridge it may have had remaining to Thai youth with it duplicitous dealings since the last election.

    "His parents, a renowned doctor specializing in mental health, and a renowned physician, remain uninvolved in his criminal actions." Turning a blind eye should never be labeled as 'univolved'.

    Youngsters won't do it and when a Thai state pension is only 600 bht a month oldies have to find work somewhere.

    Maybe he was knocked out somehow and drowned. This is what happened to a guy near us a couple of years ago. Flipped his car into less than a foot of water and drowned after getting knocked unconscious.
