IMHO this is a worthwhile project - certainly seems more beneficial, in the long-term, than subsidising rice or rubber.

I heard that the Mayor of Miami has reacted by banning eating, drinking, smoking, umbrellas, and deck chairs on his beach.

Got to keep up with the Joneses.

I found this on Lazada. It doesn't look the best quality, but if it does the job it's worth having.

Good for her. She can live in a country where the basis of law and rights was drafted almost 800 years ago rather than redrafted every 4 years.

I'm sure this was a reference to the Magna Carta - which (IMHO) is rightly described as "the basis of law and rights" in the UK.

Any initial feelings of sympathy for the old Aussie have just evaporated. This was not an act of self defence (as he claimed in the previous thread) but pure aggression.

Interpol constitution , Art 3 ensures the organisation neutrality is not compromised .

Activities of a political, military ,racial , and religous nature are prohibited .

I believe that Interpol red notices were issued against Benazir Bhutto and her husband in 2006, despite lots of political intrigue in that case. Foolishly, she returned to Pakistan where she was assassinated.

Interpol does not have a spotless reputation when it comes to their political impartiality. A quick google search will reveal some dodgey decisions.

Even if a red notice is issued, it is not an arrest warrant. Ultimately, it is up to the country where the "fugutive" is found to decide whether or not to make an arrest.

Well spotted. That is a dead ringer for the tank in the OP, down to the last nut, bolt and rivet.

My guess is that the picture in the OP is just a "library photo" chosen by the Nation journo. who couldn't be arsed to find a photo of the real Chinese tank.

The law and the registration process -

More information here ... https://www.caat.or.th/en/archives/27220

From that link:

RPA to be registered

– RPA with camera installed must be registered with no exceptions.

– RPA over 2 KGs must be registered with no exceptions

So, drones are not banned (except for the funeral).

But they have to be registered with the NBTC. http://house.nbtc.go.th/wps/portal/Eng/Home/Contactus/RegionOffices

Seems reasonable to me.

All my life I only had to borrow money to buy one car, and I paid it off early. It was a 1999 GMC Sierra. Paid it off in 2001 and I think that’s the last debt I had.

I just would not consider a few hundred dollars worth of coins gathering in a bucket part of my savings.
 

 

Old saying: Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.

Or, as my Granny would have said "Mony a mickle maks a muckle".

I don’t like to carry it around either, I like to spend it as I go.

I believe in saving, I just don’t believe in leaving money lay around in buckets.

I think making kids work for their money teaches them to value it more than just giving it to them.

I enjoy saving the money I save. I do not understand how you if spend the money you save you can call it saving..,

Can't disagree with what you say, but the final paragraph confuses me. What is the point of saving money if you never spend it - I suppose it gets passed on to your heirs for them to spend.

Most of my life I have had to borrow money to buy a new car. Last year I bought a new car with money I saved over a 4-year period. Feels good not to have any debts.

This link may help. As far as I can remember everything is done  at the local amphur office after the marriage. In our case my wife travelled back to the UK with me under her maiden name and took my surname several months later when we returned to Thailand for a holiday.
