This is likely fake news, and he was probably "transferred". Immigration, police, customs, army and government officials do not get fired here for corruption. They get "protected". It has always been that way, and Prayuth would be the last man in the world to upset the status quo, and the apple cart. Sure, they had to do something, as they always do when this is made public, they are embarrassed or humiliated, and outed for their daily practices. But, rest assured, no charges will be filed against him, and he will walk away, just like all the other do.

True Visions is a rather pathetic monopoly, and their selection of channels is perhaps one of the worst in the world, for the money. I used to have the gold package, and I keep downgrading, as the selection of movies is horrible, and they seem to insist on only licensing movies that cost less than a few dollars, as nobody else wants them. Occasionally they seem to throw in a good one. Sports coverage is only decent, and it costs way too much. Monopolies are never a good idea, and only brain dead governments, think otherwise. In the US, with Direct TV, I would be watching hundreds of channels in HD.

Both fiction and non fiction will last as long as mankind has an open mind, and maintains it's curiosity. I do have friends who refuse to read books. And my heart goes out to them. Literacy is an amazing and beautiful thing. There is way more than a lifetime of wonderful stuff to read out there. Since I have discovered both Library Genesis - http://libgen.rs and Z Library, https://en.book4you.org I have downloaded hundreds of books, magazines, etc. Amazing.

And this is a beautiful thing. One they cannot come to terms with. It appears their eventual goal is world domination, and nothing short of that. Let us hope the Chinese people are capable of getting rid of the heinous and ill intentioned CCP, before that happens! If it happens. The whole house could collapse, as the internal debt is staggering.

Respect must be earned, and never freely given. Same applies to goodwill. China, do something to earn some goodwill. You want credibility on the world stage? Start behaving like a responsible nation. Stop behaving in a ridiculous manner, and like that of a bully, in the South China Sea. It has been centuries since a nation insisted it's territorial waters extended a thousand miles or more, from it's border. We would refer to that as self applied egg on the face. OK? When you develop a vaccine intended for world consumption, try a little harder. Thy to obtain an efficacy rate that rivals the others, and is not at the bottom of the list. It just reinforces the notion that Chinese made goods are of inferior quality. Stop the harvesting of organs from political prisoners. Many practitioners have reported that, while they were in China’s extensive network of detention centres and forced labour camps, they were tortured. Evidence indicates that Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghur Muslims, Tibetans and other prisoners have been further subject to forced live organ harvesting. https://www.healtheuropa.eu/forced-organ-harvesting-one-of-the-worst-mass-atrocities-of-this-century/97035/ Stop locking up those who are different from the masses, such as the Falun Gong disciples, and the Uyghur Muslims. Behaving like a civilized nation might earn you some respect.

This was NOT honest, and this was a huge degree of malfeasance, not a mild mistake. It is all about enforcing the status quo, the continued refusal to go after the super rich, and an astonishing bit of corruption. Likely the reason Interpol ignored the red notice, if it was ever even requested, which many of us doubt. Sorry to inform you, Prayuth. But when you run a nation built upon a foundation that only protects the elite, the super wealthy, those that are well connected, those in power, the corrupt amongst the police, immigration and customs, and a spectacularly corrupt army, and then you reach out to nations that observe the rules of law and order for help, you get ignored, scorned, and ridiculed. Nobody is listening to you these days, much less Interpol. You are NOT a serious man. 98% of Thailand knows this, and most of the world does too. 7 years has proven that time and time again.

Since there has been no concerted attempt to limit travel in and out of the epicenter of Bangkok, since the beginning, it is onerous, rather useless, and really serves no purpose to limit domestic tourism, on any level. Maybe the islands. But, other than that? Just more ridiculousness, coming from the center of nonsense and ineffectiveness, the Prayuth administration.

So incredibly generous, of these noblemen, to permit more of the little people to make a living. Such a level of graciousness, and caring for their people.

Heard today about a program, where Pfizer is available for all Thais, who will be traveling overseas, with proof of travel. Looking into it. Can follow up with details, if needed.

People are behaving as if there is no correction coming, on the overall economy. Both the housing markets, and the stock markets both appear to be major bubbles at this time. I would not be surprised to see housing prices drop by 50% or more, in the US, condo prices by 50% or more here, and the Dow Jones drop to 3500. Yes, that is 90%. That was not a typo. Granted, some extreme things would have to happen, to set that in motion. But bubble markets always correct. And if you take into account a decade of quantitative easing, and the gross inflation of the money supply, anything could happen. At that time, crypto would likely appreciated significantly, as well as precious metals, ammunition, and alot of other tradable commodities. Fairly easy to envision Bitcoin at $500,000, and Ethereum at $20,000. Not out of the realm of possibility, at all.

I have only seen availability of Pfizer or Moderna to Thais over 40, or those with pre-existing conditions. Can you provide any info about where one could find this? Also, does anyone have any info about the links to where I can get the vaccine card, they have been talking about? Have been double vaxxed already with Pfizer. Thanks. Got the letter from the hospital, but keep hearing about the yellow booklet, or a vaccine card. Thanks.

It seems like there are alot of gorgeous gals from Udon Thani, Koen Kaen, Buriram, and Chaiyaphum. And Bangkok, of course! It is almost as if they lace the water with some sort of beauty agent! The fascinating thing about Thai women, is that they are all of mixed ethnicity. Few know it, and few will admit it. But it is nearly 100%. Going back to the days of ancient Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, Thailand was a major trading nation. And people from all over the region came to trade, many of whom stayed. Producing the most astonishing women as a result. Indians, Sumatrans, Burmese, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Turks, Persians, and more. Combine their innate femininity, and the level of comfort they have in expressing that, it makes them very appealing. I see a Western woman sometimes, who is beautiful, but cold as ice, and more masculine than I am, and there is no appeal, whatsoever.

The drop in carnage is not anything these toxic and do nothing authorities can take credit for. It is likely due to the resurgence of Covid. The roads and highways have been considerably less crowded. Less cars means less deaths. This is not science.

More like stunning beauties. Depends on your personal level of indoctrination. It is a fun topic. Lighten up.

Huh? An appreciation and celebration of the different beauty and appearance between women of this region is considered sexist? Sorry, most of us do not do PC. Part of the reason we live here. Let the tired "me-too" notions rest. They are for them, not us.

Yes. All secured through Elite modeling in NYC.

Stop with the nonsense. Quite the opposite. Many of us consider dark to be quite beautiful. White and pale skinned is so over rated. They dark women are some the best of Thailand and Cambodia!

Any ideas? Would love to get one of the good ones for my wife.

When is the last time a dictator had good intentions? Any examples?

So, when is the Pfizer going to be available to Thais? Thais are considered important, right? If they are willing to pay for it, make it available.

Just look at the vaccination program, and the spectacular failure and lack of regard for the Thai people, if you are inclined to defend these clowns. You are literally one of only a few thousand who believe they are capable of good work and fulfilling their promises.

And we should never question an authority as noble, gracious, kind, and honest as the CCP. How dare we question them, and show such a lack of fealty.

With 250 bought and paid for members, there was never any chance of a censure. Only 14, who were not owned, voted to support him. Says alot.

Not really: And tourism, even pre covid, made up less than 20% of Thai GDP -- while exports make up over 60% of Thai GDP (and growing). Yeah, we'd all love a full glass -- but this glass is certainly not even half empty. It is total nonsense, when you compare year on year, during Covid. Means next to nothing. I would like to see the same comparison between 2019 and 2021. Plus, those figures are likely doctored. Nothing related to this government is based on facts. All lies.

The Mazda CX-30 is an amazing car. Drives great, looks great, and is reasonable. Also, the quietest car I have ever encountered. Bigger than the sedans you mention. Likely better for a baby. If I could afford it, I would get the CX-5. It is ideal. As good or better than the CX-30, with alot more room. But, also quite a bit more expensive. Mazda has really upped their game, and the new ones are exceptional. Much sportier than the Toyota or the Honda, which seem very, very boring by comparison. Also, the instrumentation, the lighting, and the info panel are light years ahead of either brand. The top model of either the CX-30 or the CX-5, is downright amazing.
