"587 people like landlords and owners of properties where migrants and foreigners stay were fined for not reporting under Article 38 of the IB code. " Is this the great TM30 fiasco starting to make ripples???

unfortunately the Russians decided to destroy that one....

"they had information that the errant monk had accessed gay porn sites on his phone. " that is why the buddhist monks in Thailand all need the latest iphones........ to watch porn

so divorcing Paypal from eBay was intended to increase customers??

"ASEAN NOW notes that Thais are not renowned for the ability to save money, that may explain the spate of stories recently. " Are Piggy Banks a thing in Thailand? or only in Temples.......?

So it sort of sounds as though - if you are invited to sleep over at a friend's condo for one night, technically you need to go through this farce, and if you are a frequent traveller in and out of Thailand you need to go through this farce EVERY TME....

"During a weekly cabinet meeting at Government House, Prayut told cabinet members to “take it easy” for the time being" how will people know the difference? Prawit will sleep more?

Just what Thailand needs - another Tracking App. Maybe it can be extended to university students who are considering going to an anti-government protest??

or he just shot himself in the foot while "cleaning" a gun......

maybe they decided to come back as buddhists??

"ASEAN Sidelines" A.K.A. The South China Sea.....

Planking on the beach in Thailand? I thought that fad had already died out. Wait for the avalanche of silly selfies.......

Is that why the catholics prefer to rent very expensive graves and huge tombs whenever possible? and despise/condemn the act of cremation?

with their newly updated credit cards.......

but it probably will not restrict the chinese buyer, who can usually "find" or maybe "rent" a Sino-Thai "cousin" to complete the paperwork....

yes the clue seems to be in the name... this type of dog was bred for the purpose of aggression against a much bigger animal.

Rich Chinese with ex-Evergrande investment funds to park somewhere.....

Thai villagers are scared, but the chickens are obviously not......

"The monk got wise and has fled." he is currently applying for places in several catholic seminaries......

I have one I already filled out and I make a point of offering it every time I go through immigration - I enjoy the eye-rolling over the mask look....
