Govts the world over seem to love giving tax breaks to those who least need them.

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.

"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?

This must be about the kickback on the drone sales.

 

I live in a rural area where farming is the main source of income.  Drones are not that expensive.  If drones offered real value they would be here already.

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.

It is. Two cases this week, and it's only Tuesday. And, as usual, no mention of the police. Didn't even report it to them it seems, knowing that would be a waste of time, so put it on FB instead to get a reaction.

Try reading the op properly, a police report was filed by the parents.

Soon as the threat of conscription disappears in Russia say goodbye to so many Russians.

How long before there's a Chinese Policeman on each Chinese tourbus in Thailand?

Two year old at school?

Most Thai schools have a Kindergarten attached where the kids start at 2 years old.

You think the business overheads would be the same in your village and don Mueang (Not the airport) ?

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.

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.

Be much easier to just go after Lazada and Shopee, plenty of knockoff shirts being sold there.

That would be unusual because from what I remember when the wife's sister got done with 6 pills, it was 2 years for each pill.

 

If she confessed, they would halve the sentence to 6 years, she confessed and got out after 3.5 years with all the good behaviour stuff, King and Queens birthdays etc.

 

I also know her new boyfriend after being released was set up by the cops for not dealing their stuff, they made sure he got 10 years, he did about 5, they don't stand a chance here because they can't afford lawyers and the cops word is game over apparently.

This happened about 10 years ago. At the time it was considered very harsh especially as his wife had a daughter on the way.

He might get released hopefully,

He's recently finished his six year sentence. Served every day so must have upset somebody not to get any amnesty

One of wifeys cousins must be feeling cheesed off at this news. He was sentenced to 6 years for one pill.

before he called himself TonyWoodsome he was PM and he ordered the raid on the TakBai-Mosk, several people died that day, mostly because they were stacked laying down in trucks, many layers when they were brought away...

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.

Is there anything else more satisfying than slipping a finger into a Knights Ring?

Are you fluent in Swedish and read the Aftonbladet newspaper daily?

No but then I don't aspire to be a journalist.

Have you considered that this article was taken from a Swedish report and translated into the English language?

 

Lost in translation? 

Quite possibly although not proof reading a Google translation is still lazy reporting.
