 General Prawit makes no comment on former premiers and planned demonstrations on Saturday, goes home, kicks the cat and throws his supper across the kitchen...

Why not arrest the people from Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana who stand by the side of the street in Sukhumvit and elsewhere selling drugs on their student visas and tourist visas.... these people stand out like sore thumbs... no need to go checking with schools .. just observe them hassling passers by and passing packages to each other and then arrest and jail them

It rather appears that is what they are doing...

The "schools" are where they are registered (if they are on Education Visas), and possibly that is why they are a place of interest?

this article is clearer but stillnot the whole truth. There are teachers from this site stating that their schools were visited to make sure their visa/permits were correct. Schools that is not language schools. So who is telling the truth? I am going 100% with the teachers in this site telling the truth and the tourist police trying to calm the panic 

Well I've been following these stories, and whilst there have been plenty of posts from teachers complaining about their schools help (or lack of) in the visa/work permit process, I only recall one (a one-liner which seemed to me rather tongue in cheek) reference to immigration coming to "his school" to look for him.

They have also taken out the parking between B-Quick and Central now. But there is a chance the are going to use that space for a multilevel parkade.

They are building something there.

I doubt that it will be a multi storey car park. More likely shops.

Big C has done the same thing building on the car park.

This is all about junta construction projects and the cost.

 

Dead panthers? Nobody that matters cares. 

 

It's about money as per. 

It will be fascinating to see who, when the dust settles, the cook and quite possibly the driver are carted off to prison, and Premchai retires into comfortable obscurity with a fine and maybe a suspended sentence; just who takes over the reins at Italian-Thai. I wonder how the formal and informal financial arrangements will change, and who will be the beneficiaries.

A very senior military engineer officer might be the ideal chap for the job. Sappers (military engineers) are jolly good with concrete and drains and things like that...

 
Just responding to a post who often points out the unfortunate political violence that occasionally breaks out - only he always limits his comments to one side rather than noting the reality.

I'm not a Junta fanboy as well you know. 

 

But nor am I a Shin clan fan like you.

 

But carry on in your deluded fantasy world if it keeps you happy.

 

PS - if you actually think, (something you really should try), you might realize that these protesters are not only protesting about the current government but also previous ones. They represent the sections of society who've been trampled on over and over again, lied to, made false promises and whose "rights" appear not existent whenever it suits whichever faction happens to be in power.

 

I salute them!

The charge was what he said when asked a question in an interview in Seoul. The court ruled that "some elements that may damage the national security, reputation and dignity of Thailand" which was a rather vague charge and interpretations.

I may have rather missed the point, but what bearing does that have on Thaksin having a passport?

Not that it will clip his wings...

Umh...

Wherever you end up setting up your new home, you will be an immigrant!

As for "what I'm going to do with the wife", as she is your wife one presumes that you have arrived at your decision in consultation with her? Maybe I am just being naive...

What is a verification tag and how would it work ?

I heard it was from Denmark...
