    The "US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor " would do well to wind their neck in, and instead concern themselves with the rapidly emerging threats to democracy, human rights and labour in their own country.

     

    The law (and the way in which it is enforced) against "silent prayer" is atrocious, but we don't need the US State Department getting involved.

    I agree 100% and neither Trump nor the "US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour " has ANY business interfering in another sovereign country's business.

     

    Deal with the USA problems and get that right first.

     

    Revoke their visas and return them to the USA with the label of NOT required in the UK.

    Let us know if this worked for you. (I have postpaid AIS SIM, not sure if it works on prepaid.) It Never Worked for me Infact I Dialled the Number 00344191**** Got Through to The DWP & Whilst I was waiting to " Speak " to a Human with 120 Baht in Pre-Paid credit the call just Cut Off, Saying I'd used ALL My Available Credit......

    My AIS mobile is post paid and the sim is enabled.

     

    Yes it works for me, though I don't make that many international calls/

     

    It works with DTAD as well but perhaps with different prefix numbers. For True and anybody else I have no idea.

     Dem rep.Ilhan Omar  part of the radical Squad members who supports free free Palestine like many dems ,taking cover.

     

    “The Marxist & the Islamist  have a joint venture to take out Europe & USA from within.

    This isnt about free speech & civil rights”. Its a war the Constitution lawyer  and Fox News  contributor says.


    Call it like it is!

    They’re chaotically protesting in the streets , in and around colleges,calling for the destruction of the USA while going after the Jews & Israel.

     

     

     

    I see that you are still relying on Fox "News" for information.

    We are overdue, and the current PM is not the one who the people elected so they may not be too troubled if she is ousted.

    The people do not elect the PM.

     

    They vote for a political party and if that party wins the most seats but less than an absolute majority it is offered first choice to form a coalition government with another party or parties.

     

    If they still cannot form a coalition government after a period of time (I think it is 30 days but I am not sure) the party with the next highest number of seats is given the chance to form a coalition government.

     

    If they are successful the the largest party in the coalition offers a name (or names) to be voted on by that party alone, to become the PM.

    That is indeed a possibility. A scary one, better seal our suitcases if you cannot lock properly.

    It would also mean that somebody on the airside had to have 2 identical suitcases to hers, that person would have to carry the suitcases into the airside baggage area, know which suitcases were hers, swap the labels over, remove her suitcases from the area and hide them, all on full view of the other shift workers and the CCTV cameras.

     

    The alternative scenario would be somewhat similar if it was done in the hotel. The problem with that is that most people would shower and put on clean clothes from the suitcase, lock the suitcase and get it carried down to the check out of the hotel.

     

    The bags could also have been swapped by the taxi driver who took her to the airport.

     

    Then she would go to the airport and check her bags, where one of the questions is usually "Did you pack your bags yourself"?

     

    All of theses scenarios involve more than one person other than her and TBH, even though I wrote them, I still wouldn't believe any of them.

    ADV160 THB99,900 Official Retail Price

     

    THB 1,880,000,000 / 14,442 Units = THB130,176 > "Mark Up": 30%

     

    NB: usually when you buy in bulk you get discounts...

    ADV.jpg

    The 99,900 baht is for the basic version only and for 1 scooter only which most dealers can sell you. However if you want a large number, IMHO it "should be cheaper to go directly to Honda.

     

    The article does not say if the cost of spares and service is included or if the Thai police service their own bikes. The article seems to be a bit short on details like that.

     

    If a police bike only averages 50 km per day, 7 days a week for 1 year that is 18.250 per year and 127.750 km over 7 years, so after 7 years it will be fairly worn out.

    OVERSTAY!!!!!    The number one Thai obsession. Spending money here is punishable by imprisonment and blacklisting.  Thai Immigration has gone insane.

    Why do you think that Thai Immigration has gone insane, just because they are enforcing the law?

     

    When you arrive in Thailand on any sort of visa there will be an expiry date when you have to leave the country. If you know that expiry date than you know that is the date that you have to leave by. Depending on the type of visa, you may be able to extend it in country or you may have to leave Thailand and get another visa.

     

    If you overstay by a day or 2 and then leave it is no big deal, just pay the 500 baht fine per 24 hours.

     

    If however you knowingly overstay for weeks and month then you are deliberately breaking the law.

     

    Are you condoning law breaking?

    Now, Now your just gonna confuse the mentally feeble minded trumpettes that are being duped by a conman. The verbal diarrhea they will spew to claim your facts are propaganda or MSM lies will quickly fill the pages although they wont be able to provide any facts, just somehow blame Biden for creating the situation

    Could this be a reason why Trump hates being fact checked?

    You mean, be diplomatic by lying to everyone and doing the opposite of what you say? Cover up the bad things and hide them using double talk or by averting the topics or outright silence? 

    Sounds like you miss Biden as President. 

     

    Very poor and off topic deflection.

     

    The topic is about Trump and Ramaphosa and nothing to do with ex President Biden. 

     

    Why is it that Trump supporters seem to be unable to stick to the topic?
