Senate panel to study Move Forward party’s PM candidate
damian replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I wouldnt put it past them. How much value do that put on getting Tony home? Interesting interview on Al Jazeera where there was some tension between MFP and PT reps over MFP policies. I dont trust PT at all. -
Chiang Mai residents turn to sarcasm in desperation over PM2.5 pollution
damian replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Actually it did with the wires in BKK. Suggest a high profile actor gets here and posts on his facebook page the disaster that is. Thais dont watch Al Jazeera, BBC or German TV. -
‘He asked me what I would do if I came to take care of the country. I replied that it was very easy. The land of Thailand, Thailand is for patriots. The land of Thailand is a holy land with the monarchy being the pillar of the country. If you don’t like it, you don’t have the right to change it. Because the whole nation of Thai people wants to keep it like this. If you don’t like it, please go to another place. That is not forbidden. Go. Which country do you like? But Thailand must always be like this. Under the United Thai Nation (Ruam Thai Sang Chart) Party, we will not change. If we are supported by the people of Thailand as the leader of the government, we will deal with racists,’ Mr Peeraphan declared. And here in lies the problem.

Change to the Science Centre pool (9 lane 50m) at Ekamai. 50 baht a swim and 600 baht annual membership for everybody. When they reopened from Covid we all got a years grace on membership fees. I still go to this pool when in Bangkok. Just as an aside I live in the country now and my local pool (9 lane 50m) has no membership fees and is 10 baht a swim for everyone! Have to do a 60km round trip to visit though but I love my routine swimming exrecise so no real issue.

If they installed international standard wayfinding signage these things wouldn't be needed. -

Jeremy Clarkson says he is 'horrified' over Meghan column
damian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Many spew their hatered for Markel on a superficial level but noone seems to want to talk about the dark relationship the 'firm' has with the media and how manipulative that is. Aside from the theatrics, tears and daytime tv drama, this was the underlying theme of the doco. -
90 day report outside area of residence
damian replied to hammered's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A little off topic for the OP but interestingly when your online 90 days reporting is in regular swing they have no idea what location you are reporting from. -

Actually in my expeience cars and bikes seem to stop to let you cross when you are not on a crossing. -

Government Hopes to Export Fresh Fruit Via Laos-China High-Speed Train
damian replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I do wish they would stop calling this completed portion in Lao 'High Speed Rail'. Its design speed is 160km/h. I would assume the freight trains would be running at around 100-120km/h absolute max but probably lower dependednt on length, weight and motive power. UIC definition for High Speed Rail is anything above 250km/h with some exceptions. Mind you anything above 70km/h here on the SRT main line is considered high speed! -
