Report Thaksin Blasts Medical Council Over Hospital Stay Controversy
damian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You have to feel for the Doctors who, because of the dark influence Tony weilds, were forced into this knowing it was wrong. Mai Pen Rai, would have been the response from Tony. I will protect you'. Yep, just like he protected his red shirt followers thrown in jail or his sister from being exiled and the list goes on. There is no level low enough for this guy and yet some still swoon over him. -

Politics PP Faces Crushing Defeat in Local Polls, Old Politics Thrive
damian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They didn't dissapoint me in the last election. But I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment. However, when they could see the light at the end of the tunnel only to have it cruely extinguished by a powerful force that lurks in gilded hallways and feasts at the tables of dirty deals, you can't really blame them for giving up and going back to their old habits. I also think that PP losing Pita as the front man has cost them a lot. Maybe in 9 years he will return and try again. I hope so. -

These problems have been ongoing since year 1. Whats more concerning is that the building is still under warranty and these defects have not been fixed. -
Report Thai Medical Council Debunks Thaksin’s Critical Illness Claims

Tony will get away scott free from this. Sadly, a number of people will be sacrificed as scape goats who were initially threatened into submission by the 'born to rule' bullies. Will Tony care? Not one iota. -

After what her family has masterminded here she has no right to cry 'weve been through a lot'. She should just shut up. -
Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
damian replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Did my TDAC online on Friday. Came in at Chiang Mai from KL yesterday. No asking if I had done it in KL and normal entry at Chiang Mai. No one asked me for anything. Obviously it's on their system as the were turning back (to the kiosks) those without them. -

She looks like a blonde Lydia Thorpe. -
Try looking a little deeper into the issue. To those that live here legally and permanently, have a family here, educate their kids here, work here, spend their money here and pay taxes here, it isn't fair.

10,000 Baht Cash Handout Announced for Thai Youth Aged 16 to 20

So how about a report on how well the last handout stimulated the economy before you start splashing it about to teenagers. -
Thai-Chinese High-Speed Rail Project Faces 350-Day Delay
damian replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What about the civil contractor? I find it hard to believe that after you (SRT) caused the 350 day delay, contractors will not apply for an extension of time for their almost 1 year of additional costs. -
Week before last on my way back from Mae Sot I stopped as usual at one of the many checkpoints. Was then surrounded by immigration volunteers and police and asked to pull over to the side. They asked me to get out and show my passport and then proceeded (all 6 of them) to take photos of the passport and me beside the car holding the passport. Asked them whats up and they simply complained that they had to do it becasue the big boss told them to. They didnt know why and apologised with wais and thankyous. Unusual to say the least.

Mee chok plaza according to CM dad above. I'm not in CM but just went to the local shop and gave them the Thai instructions. No issues except I had to get him to reprint on high-gloss photo paper as he printed them on matt. -

Aus has very strict photo requirements. On the website they have the requirements in Thai so you can print this out and give it to the photo shop. Of course bring your ruler to check everything when you go to pick them up. -

Also did this last month with 5 months remaining on the old passport. Online form is a snack. Get your photos done, fill it out, print it, send to Bangkok new passport arrived within 3 weeks. Very impressed how easy it was. -
