  1. Govts the world over seem to love giving tax breaks to those who least need them.
  2. "However, thanks to the sturdiness of the old vintage car, Anntonia’s vehicle sustained only minor scratches. The vintage car, however, was severely damaged." Who on earth writes this crap? Journalist credentials should be removed at once.
  3. Dreadful experience trying to view any topic right now. Click one and it takes at least 20 seconds to start loading. Way too many ads and pop-ups appearing. I appreciate the website is a free resource but there is a limit to the number of totally irrelevant ads I will put up with appearing on my screen. Can't fathom why the user experience has declined by so much over the years. It's coming to the point where I'll probably sign in once or twice a year to catch up on any Immigration changes come extension time.
  4. "He firmly asserts the lack of necessity for massive loans to stimulate the current economy. Instead, he argues for efficient allocation of the existing annual budget." Dangerous thinking there...what room does that leave for snouts at the trough?
  5. Here in Kanchanaburi they are being used more and more. Amazing how quickly they can cover an area that used to take all day by 2 or 3 people. Must be cost effective if it's being used by some of the poorest farmers in our village where price is absolutely the deciding factor.
  6. Soon as the threat of conscription disappears in Russia say goodbye to so many Russians.
  7. Most Thai schools have a Kindergarten attached where the kids start at 2 years old.
  8. The restaurant will have higher overheads than any in our village granted but it is still a totally unremarkable establishment and 300 bht is absolutely over the top. I've eaten regularly in the Don Mueang area and what is on display in the op can be easily got for less than 100 bht.
  9. Here in the village I can still buy a medium sized plate of Phad Thai Moo or Khao Phad Moo for 20bht. The markup to 300bht a plateful for what is on display in the op must be remarkable.
  10. Be much easier to just go after Lazada and Shopee, plenty of knockoff shirts being sold there.
  11. Remarkable that so many people are outraged over harmless actions that will have zero impact on themselves.
  12. Absolutely different to the rice farmers in the Central Plains as almost to a man they burn off the stubble. Couple that with sugar cane burning and come dry season the air quality is appalling.
  13. Typically it's a small, fast warship designed to protect other ships in the fleet.
  14. This happened about 10 years ago. At the time it was considered very harsh especially as his wife had a daughter on the way.
  15. He's recently finished his six year sentence. Served every day so must have upset somebody not to get any amnesty
  16. One of wifeys cousins must be feeling cheesed off at this news. He was sentenced to 6 years for one pill.
  17. I think you are confusing Krue Se Mosque massacre with the TakBai Incident. Tak Bai was a protest outside a police station there in protest of the detention of six men. The army detained about 1300 protesters and then transported them stacked in the back of army trucks for five hours to an army camp. 78 died of suffocation and organ failure.
  18. Is there anything else more satisfying than slipping a finger into a Knights Ring?
  19. Then Army Chief Gen Prawit Wongsuwong was in overall control of military operations at the time perhaps somebody can try and wake him from his nap time to shed some light on the event.
  20. People's Alliance for Democracy, somebody had a sense of irony naming that bunch of things for sure.
  21. Quite possibly although not proof reading a Google translation is still lazy reporting.
