There are now 140 STRYKER APCs in Thailand and where are they all based? In barracks in and around Bangkok, instead of the South where they are desperately needed.

Just because it is written in the constitution doesn't mean very much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Thailand#:~:text=Siam (today known as Thailand,of absolute monarchy in 1932.&text=Charters have traditionally been temporary instruments%2C promulgated following military coups. he Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Thai: รัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย; RTGS: Ratthathammanun Haeng Ratcha-anachak Thai) provides the basis for the rule of law in Thailand. Since the abolition of the absolute monarchy in 1932, Thailand has had 20 charters or constitutions (as of 2015), an average of one roughly every four years.[1] Many changes followed military coups, reflecting the high degree of political instability in the country. After each successful coup, military regimes abrogated the existing constitution, generally without public consultation. Constitutions can be amended, rewritten or simply torn up and a new one put in its place.

How many military coups have there been since 1932 would be a better question?

Thaksin and his sister Yingluck were elected by a free and fair election by the people of Thailand. Any military coup is treason against the elected government. Yingluck was still the PM of a caretaker government and was planning the next free and fair election for the Thai people. As for the outstanding charges against them both, they were brought as a result of 2 military coups. What I find difficult to understand is that not one member of any military coup (and Thailand has had many) has ever been brought to a trial.

Sorry. but I am 21 years older than my wife and this year we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and we knew each other for 7 years prior to that. Of the 20 or so foreign friends that I have, most of us have been married 15 or more years and some for nearly 30 years. To my knowledge only 2 have been divorced and one died recently.

I ran more speed tests this morning after physically disconnecting my lan cable. With the vpn selected or not it made no difference. There was a very small improvement but nowhere the speeds I should be getting. I have tried downloading a new set of drivers from 2 different sites and while they reported 24 drivers from 613 need updating, unless I paid them they would not update the drivers. It is Tuesday afternoon and as I will be up in Kamphaeng Phet anyway on Thursday I will drop the pc off at the shop I bought it from and let them sort it out. Thank you to all of you who gave helpful advice, and to the poster who called me a troll, thank you for nothing.

I use a 3BB fibre package 1000Mbps download and 100Mbps upload. I use Opera (+vpn) as my browser. My download speed seems to be very slow so I rang the 3BB call centre on Thursday evening and reported it and by 10:30am Friday morning the local 3BB team were knocking on my door. They hooked up their laptop to my router and the download speed was as it should be. We tested my lan cable and their laptop, OK. We hooked their lan cable to my pc and, fail. It was worse with the vpn on but that I can understand and accept. We tried all the combinations once again on my pc using Chrome as the browser, and got the same results. We were both using Windows 10, mine was the Home edition. The techie suggested that I take my pc back to the shop and wrote a short note in Thai with his name and mobile number to give to the shop. My Windows 10 is a legal copy installed when I bought the pc a couple of years ago. However when I try to update Windows the message reads "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" and it will not update. Error code (0x80070422) I copied that it it tells me to update the windows 10/11 drivers. Would I be OK in doing that or should I splash out and get Windows 11 Pro?
