This, from an ex democrat MP, who was a supporter of a military coup government and a royalist to boot.

A lot depends on which IO you use. I have no problems with the IO in Kamphaeng Phet and they are both user friendly and farang friendly plus they speak fair English. However I have a marriage extension and I also use the monthly income method, The 2 problems I have come across is that Bangkok Bank want 3 working days notice for a 12 month statement, and as the IO is only a small office, they need 2 copies of everything, one for themselves and one copy for the regional IO office in Chiang Mai. Nakhon Sawan IO were very good when I used to go there before KPP opened.

What a numpty. That will cost a lot more than 1,750 baht to repair those 3 vehicles to roadworthy condition, let alone the contents of the wrecked truck and the drivers injuries. The taxi driver must have known that he did not have enough money to refuel before he set out.

when you die, your state pension dies with you. If you have lived in the UK with your Thai wife, AFAIK your wife is not entitled to any of your pension, but if she has been working and paying National Insurance contributions she should be entitled to a state pension in her own name. However to get the full state pension she will have to pay NIC for 33 years, I think. The next problem is that if she is now living in Thailand and she tells the pension people that she now lives in Thailand, her pension will be frozen (if she is entitled to a state pension). The DWP does not allow state pensions to be transferred to any other person, not even to children. Again, AFAIK she like you, I and many other pensioners, cannot legally claim and UK benefits whilst living in Thailand. Believe it or not, there are over 500,000 UK pensioners who have had their pensions frozen from the day they first got it. There have been quite a few threads on AN about specifically Thailand and UK frozen pensions. I am sorry to give you such a gloomy response. I have a similar problem as you with frozen pensions and what happens when I die.

And in retaliation who do YOU think has killed over 40,000 Palestinians and injured over 100,000 Palestinian men, women, children and babies, invaded a country, cut off water, sewage, electricity, restricted food deliveries, destroyed houses, businesses, schools, universities, hospitals and made hundreds of thousands of people homeless, if it wasn't the IDF on the orders of the warmongering Israeli cabinet?

So you actually have nothing.

In the big village up the road here in Kamphaeng Phet province the AQI is 88, the outside temperature is 28.1C. The OAT at 06:00 was 16.2C. It was cold enough to put a shirt on this morning.

There is NO upside to the incident. Two people died and 68 were injured. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdr0zx4e04no

Please show me and everyone else where I support Hamas. BTW what evidence, links or posts have you shown? The links I have posted are from the open internet that anyone can search for, find and read. Have you even looked at any of them? So if I am wrong, how many different countries and other posters are wrong, or perhaps it may be you that is wrong. When I post links, to me it is because I did some looking and some research on the links. How about you. Out of interest where DO you get your information from?

Nothing to do with restricting information coming from Gaza, so that the usual denials and deflections can be made by the IDF and the Israeli government, so that only one sided (the Israeli side only) propaganda is published I suppose. So all the links that I posted and many more are all lies, even though they come from many different sources? I assume that you believe that all the news published by Israel is the truth, or their version of it. You may not be old enough to remember but war correspondents have been reporting on wars world wide even since the Boer wars in the 19th century back in 1895. (Winston Churchill was one) There have been war correspondents in all the major wars of the 20th century, through WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq and even the minor wars of the 21st century. None of them were restricted, so why are the Israeli's restricting correspondents reporting from Gaza and the West Bank? As for your quote of Israel "protecting" reporters lives, did you know that as of December 19, 2024, CPJ’s preliminary investigations showed at least 141 journalists and media workers were among the more than tens of thousands killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Lebanon since the war began, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992. https://cpj.org/2024/12/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/ As of December 19: 141 journalists and media workers were confirmed killed: 133 Palestinian, two Israeli, and six Lebanese. 49 journalists were reported injured 2 journalists were reported missing 75 journalists were reported arrested. Try reading some of the links and it may open your eyes.

Then why does Israel restrict so many reporters from entering Palestine and the Gaza strip unless accompanied by Israeli troops? Why has Israel closed down so many news agencies there? https://cpj.org/2024/12/attacks-arrests-threats-censorship-the-high-risks-of-reporting-the-israel-hamas-war/ https://www.aljazeera.com/program/inside-story/2024/10/22/will-the-us-pressure-israel-to-allow-foreign-journalists-into-gaza#:~:text=Israel has severely restricted international,for more than a year. https://www.freepressunlimited.org/en/current/urgent-call-israel-give-journalists-access-gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68423995 https://theconversation.com/how-israel-continues-to-censor-journalists-covering-the-war-in-gaza-228241 https://cpj.org/2024/12/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/ There are many more links on the open internet for those people who do not wish to bury their heads in the sand, and ignore what is happening.

Good idea. Why not blame the victim instead of the perp? She should not have to block the contact. The perp should not be posting in the first place.

What? Just for accepting an orange juice, not knowing that it was spiked.

Bob the Builder, did we fix it, Bob the Builder, yes we did. For sure.

The difference is that Thaksin was legally elected as a PM and overthrown in a military coup, but Musk was merely appointed by Trump with NO input from the people of the USA.

BS Please show me where I support Hamas? I support the Palestinian people. NOT Hamas.

However until they stop the military coups, the constitution changes are meaningless, as the military simply tears up the existing constitution and writes a new one in their favour.

It si long past the time that the EC and the NACC were disbanded and reformed under new NON partisan leadership, and with no sign of the military, police or politicians.

And how many innocent Palestinian men, women, children and babies have been killed and injured by Israel and the IDF since 1948 in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria et al? Are the Palestinians just supposed to accept that without resisting or fighting back?

Do you have a good recipe that I can try? I use a stand mixer for the hard work.

Quote "A joint petition has been filed with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) by a coalition of former Red and Yellow Shirt activists, urging an investigation into potential misconduct by high-ranking government officials." Yet NONE of these whiny little snits say a single word when the military commit treason by pulling yet another coup. Nothing like bias and two faced hypocrisy from them though. Perhaps ALL of them should be investigated by the EC and the NACC,

How odd that the EC has NEVER investigated any aspect of ANY military coup, yet the want to "deal" with Thaksin, who was the victim of a military coup.

+ 1.

IMHO they are leaving Putin to be dealt with by the Russians themselves, and the ICJ. I also think that Putin will get more paranoid and less trusting of the people that surround him. If you go back in history to 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by 2 of her own handpicked bodyguards. Judging by the number of generals trusted by Putin who died of "unnatural" causes, Putin must be extremely paranoid by now. These are just my thoughts and opinions.

More whataboutery. She committed the crime of assault. She should be punished, she wasn't. Will she do it again? I have no idea. Will she get the same punishment? Again, I have no idea/ Should she have gone to jail? Certainly.
