Prayut confident of making a comeback, but prepared “to go home”
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He also said, however, that he is ready to accept whatever the poll results turn out to be. “I will just go home. Where else could I go?” If you hadn't granted yourself an amnesty for past crimes you'd be being hauled off to jail. -
Prayut: Conscripted soldiers can benefit from opportunities
edwinchester replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If the opportunities available in the army to conscripts are so lucrative then why are civilians not beating down the doors of recruitment offices to enlist rather than be conscripted in? -
Bomb attack in southern Thailand injures 8 police officers
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Thailand has bought hundreds of armoured vehicles but chooses to send it's police out on patrol in a war zone in pickups. Callous disregard of human life by those in charge for those serving their country. -
PT got 136 seats at the last election whilst Palang Pracharat came second with 116. PP got a slightly higher percentage of the popular vote because PT did not contest as many seats. The 250 army appointed Senators voted unanamously that Prayut be selected as Prime Minister......it happened once and could easily happen again.

"He went on to sing and dance on the stage which is allegedly a violation of the electoral law." Don't worry he has an amnesty for that too.

14 sections of M81 motorway complete, 11 sections under construction
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Yes, it's ridiculous how long this is taking as the route was started nearly 9 years ago. I drive under the completed intersection at the end of the route everytime I go into Kanchanaburi and bushes and trees started growing out of the concrete work several years ago. -

edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Yeah we used to do that too until we saw somebody letting a soi dog get a drink from the filler hose......back to bottled. -
Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV?
edwinchester replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Petrol cars have a 1% chance of catching fire? As I can't access the article I assume that is over the lifetime of the car. -
Maybe they have a conscience and want nothing to do with Putin's illegal genocide in Ukraine.

Why were 20% of the Thai population not infected with COVID-19?
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wifey and our 4 year old daughter both had covid in March of last year and despite normal family contact and sharing a long car journey I kept on testing negative. Wifey had no symptoms at all but tested +ve for about 10 days. Daughter ran a very high temperature for just over a day but it broke very quickly and she was back to normal after about 36 hours. Both wifey and I were fully vaccinated at the time. I've never had an antibody test so no idea if I had it and tested negative or if I escaped infection. -
"He was taken to hospital and given the all clear with doctors saying he was uninjured." The video and pics on CNN shows that he was definitely injured.

Read the article again, it is pointing out that the mass killings in Thailand were widely reported by foreign media.

Russian Man Arrested on Pha-Ngan Island For 993 Days of Overstaying
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Certainly has been going on that long. Russia annexed Crimea and has been arming pro Russia Ukrainian Paramilitaries since 2014. -
Shame that you think those with disabilities are moaners, complainers and whiners. They're people less fortunate than you and a little pre-planning could have ensured they have access along with anyone else.

Yes and BYD will be locating their mega factory somewhere in Europe now. BYD are launching their range of vehicles in the UK right now, they could have been built and supplied with parts manufactured in the UK but that ain't happening now. Glad that you think that Aston Martin will be mass producing affordable electric vehicles for everyone, I'll pop into a showroom on my next trip back to blighty and look at my options.
