I wonder where the Thai Red Bull is available. In western countries, the red bull we know is from Red Bull GMBH Austria. They are not connected to Red Bull Thailand.

Wikipedia: In 1984, Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull GmbH with Yoovidhya and turned it into an international brand. Each partner invested US$500,000 of savings to found the company. Yoovidhya and Mateschitz each held a 49 percent share of the new company. They gave the remaining two percent to Yoovidhya's son, Chalerm, but it was agreed that Mateschitz would run the company.

Not really if properly planned - both of these procedures can be done weeks before - like I did.

 

But not visa extension. Maximum one week before. Not a smart rule imo.

Raytheon is the manufacturer.

News from 9.11.2016

Raytheon (RTN) shares soared into buy range Wednesday as defense contractors took flight on the wings of Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election but sales to foreign countries could take a hit.

Be interesting to see if any Thai media asks Prayuth for a quote on this topic... or are they going to abdicate from from jobs and let the PM remain tight lipped as well?

There are some critics about Pr**** in foreign press, particularly related to this Red Bull story. I won't it quote here. But easy to find.

If Thai authorities go to block all this foreign newspapers who criticized the Thai gov, there will not be much left.  May be the only positive thing is, due the big name involved in this disaster, it gained international attention.

Well then how do they expect to catch him if they don't issue an arrest warrant ? 

Obviously it was never the intention to catch him.

However, the police have not issued a warrant for Yoovidhya's arrest and he has not yet been formally indicted.

Not in my local 7/11 please. It takes forever to get served in there as it is.

yeah, that would be the darkside of the plan. So only in Family Mart. I prefer 7/11 anyway.

But....

I have a simple plan. Let Family Mart and 7/11 exclusively sell the tickets. Easy. Or stop it completely. Gambling is anyway illegal here.

From the CNBC article:

Often when people don't show up for court, police or prosecutors collaborate to ask the court for an arrest warrant. That hasn't happened.

British historian Chris Baker, who with his Thai wife, Pasuk Phongpaichit, has written extensively about inequality, wealth and power in Thailand, said he wasn't surprised Vorayuth hasn't been prosecuted.

Unbelievable.

Strange how he got into England with the international arrest warrant on his head. ?

Is there really such a warrant? Don't think so.

Why is there no extradition request from Thailand? The hole story is a big face loss for Thailand. Do they realize that?

You might be right with that for Thailand.

However, Sweden switched in 1967 from left to right side. Only 157 (wikipedia) minor accidents happens at that day. Imagine the outcome if Thailand decides to do the same :)

I had a power outage today morning in Jomtien. But only for a few minutes.

Once I fall in a sinkhole in Jomtien. There was heavy rain. My motorcycle and me was completely under water. But no injuries. A friendly Taxi driver helped me to recover my bike.

What happen: Two idiots meet in the middle of the street.

I could afford it, if it was 71.2 million Laos Kip.

That must be a pita for the lower bidder.

For years police have been trying to enforce the wearing of helmets on motorbikes.

That hasnt worked, neither will this 1.

That's not true. 20 Years ago, nobody used a helmet. Today, almost everyone. At least in Pattaya, Bangkok....

Why couldn't they take a Thai for the photo? Now expect more stricter visa requirements.

Now we lough about. But it will be the future.

                     Trump loves Assange now, only because Assange contributed to Trump's win in November.   If Assange published anything which Trump didn't like, Trump would instantly hate Assange.  Trump has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old brat.  Love you one minute, hate you the next, ....all predicated on whether you give him candy or not.

Nah, I'm happy with Trump. He tweets every day. Soon he get up and will tweet.

Imagine if Hillary had won. Boring.

Silly. 50 police officers are guarding 24 hours the embassy. But the Red Bull heir is free to celebrate his parties in London.

Merkel is completely insane. Her guests do rape, steal, killing and whatever every single day.

This lunatic belongs behind bars for destroying Europe.
