Vision Center, 18/2 Rathvithi Rd, Sriphum. Open 8am - 5pm daily. Used them for years and am happy with their service and choice of frames.

Prices will not go down on anything. The cuts in the price of electricity and diesel are minuscule and the higher prices are already factored into everything in the distribution pipeline. When the lower prices kick in there will be other costs(like the minimum wage, imported raw materials etc) that will have risen that easily wipe out the small reductions, so manufacturers and distributors will claim that reductions do not apply and the consumer will see no savings. The shell game continues.

Ha ha, why do you think he is also in charge of the economy. Thaksin is already PM from his hospital bed because he chose the cabinet and directly influences Srettha who is nothing but a thinly veiled cover for him. And before the end of the year Thaksin will be out of hospital/prison and running the country from his mansions or private plane.

Why should the average low income Somchai living outside BKK and not using these trains be asked to subsidise those who do live in the capital? The ridiculous system adopted for building and operating the lines are open to massive profiteering, corruption of course, and price gouging. Cities like Singapore and Seoul regard rail commuting as an essential service in a coordinated multi modal plan and operate their systems with the commuter in mind, and not in the interests of profit skimming and other corrupt practices.

This medical story is nothing but a confection created by the Thaksin camp. In turn the authorities are sh*itting themselves because they don't want him to die under their watch. It is highly amusing to watch these camps playing their games. Much more so than any TV comedy show.

His whole story over the last days reads like a Jane Austen novel. So despite being well enough to jet around the globe and to be personally deciding on the new cabinet he has now had a "touch of the vapours" and needs a better hospital to give him oxygen. All he needed was someone to loosen his corsets! Theatre of the Absurd used to work for him but the new generation of voters can see right through his antics.

I bet these self same villagers all voted yet again for the Thaksin party, just like the last 3 decades. But wait, they will soon get 10 000 baht each in a digital wallet that they can use to pay for repairs themselves because after spending 560 billion thb on the giveaway the government will claim they have no funds left to fix that road.

Just look at the reality of the Chinese HST network. Shoddy (Tofu Dregs they call it in China) construction of the tracks and signals, wholesale bribery and corruption and most lines earning so little revenue that they can't even pay the electricity bills. The Chinese are obviously a perfect fit with SRT and the leeches in government.

Add together Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand and you have a very unsavoury bunch who no doubt have common values that benefit those in power while the regular folk get shot, disappeared and economically shafted. Three wise monkeys!

I am so fat there is a danger of bursting into a huge ball of flame and cremating the temple. But by then it's not my problem 555.

Some rather confused people are recommending restaurants along the Chao Phraya, which was in Krungthep last time I boated along it. This is the Chiang Mai forum???? For what it is worth I enjoy the Thai food at Wanlamun near Wat Ket and for western food Nakara Jardin which is only open from lunch time until something like 7pm. Google is your friend. And for nighttime tapas and cocktails with the best rooftop views of the river try the bar on top of the Melia Hotel on T. Charoenprathet

Who cares what the Dems think or do! They are as useful as a fart in a colander.

So having been shafted by PT this guy thinks that MFP should vote for their PM candidate because of shared values. PT will happily drop these values the moment Anutin demands this because PT have no values, no moral compass and no shame. But the voters have values and they will respond harshly at the first opportunity because once again they are being betrayed by power hungry egotistical prostitues masquerading as politicians.

Looks like Tony Woodsome expects he will need a bolt hole before long and is snuggling up to that loathsome dictator. Prostitute Thai Party will not last long and will disintegrate into a much lesser force because many supporters realise they have been conned by the billionaires.

The all consuming PT quest for power will soon start consuming the party as supporters realise they have been betrayed. The old magical hold on millions of voters has been destroyed by the current leadership because they neither represent their constituents nor do they have any moral compass. The days of <deleted>awatra appealing to working class voters have gone and what is left are billionaires hungry for power at all costs.

Yes I had this almost 2 years ago. No side effects, no problem.

It took 13 weeks for my renewal in February. Now is the high season for UK tourists travel so there should be a commensurate increase in time taken for renewals. The actual quality of the passport is poor, the front cover immediately warped in the humidity here. But that's what you get when producing the new Brexit freedom passport and using a French production company with a Polish factory. Nice one Boris.

Seems a perfectly suitable person for political high office.

Anyone operating in tourism should be busy planning for the collapse of the inbound market. The political situation will deteriorate in a few days and weeks time and civil disobedience will take over. Thailand can easily be replaced as a destination. Countries like Portugal already have more tourists than pre Covid and are easier & less expensive to travel to and those needing long haul destinations have Vietnam, Indonesia and other options. My partner has already put expansion plans on hold because loading up with more debt in these times is too risky.

We will soon see the return of censored news, journalists and others sent to hidden places for attitude adjustment, selective curfews, military on the streets and all the joys that Prayuth brought. Thailand is on the edge of standing alongside Myanmar & Cambodia as a repressed state. But the rest of the world will simply shrug and move on because to them this country is an irrelevance.

Every single forecast of rain has proved to be wrong for Chiang Mai. In the last 3 months not one cumulative centimetre of rain has fallen in my suburb. Where do these so called meteorological wizards get their data from, or are they being directed by Prayuth & Prawit.

This is a naive and stupid reaction taken in anger. It will certainly not proceed to enactment but will harden the already strong case against MFP in the minds of the military back elements that control matters. MFP will not exist in a very short time because the Con Court will ensure it is dissolved, just like Future Forward.

There's no doubt he will try to return and join an alliance with Prawit. He is totally opportunistic and has no concern about what voters want but is still thirsty for power at any price. And when this happens Thailand will enter a dark period of civil disobedience, arrests, disappearances and sporadic violence. A great recipe for a country to prosper and for it's people to be happy. Prayuth was an utter failure but his stench will linger on for a long time.

This whole thing will not end well. The old order have more physical and political power than the new order and the stench of Prayuth hangs heavily over the ludicrous processes of the election. If the Senate abstains from voting it has proved it's illegitimacy and should be disbanded instantly by whatever means necessary. There is no doubt that Pita will be found guilty by the partisan court and the MFP will be disbanded. Following this the "prostitutes" in Pheu Thai and other parties will form a coalition with Prawit as PM under the guise of national security. And Thailand will be left under old order control. Without doubt democracy will not be attained unless there is a political revolution but most Thai do not have the cojones to prevail.

He might have retired but his stench lingers on. The EC has referred Pita to the CC in an attempt to deny the will of millions of voters in a Constitutional construct created by Prayuth. Should Pita be banned and the MFP disbanded there is little doubt that Thailand will be in a major crisis. And all of this was deliberately designed by Prayuth. History will see him defined as the man who singlehandedly destroyed Thailand as a modern state.
