Maybe this lot need to visit Singapore and see first hand on how to dispose of rubbish and recyclables, but i guess thais know more than singaporeans.
They should but won't, they have plenty of space to avoid the problem for years to come.
Interesting article below on the process you mentioned

Right! They'll clone Big Joke and his clones will set off around rural Thailand enforcing prohibition. ?
He doesn't need clones, he can check all the stores in Thailand himself, in a matter of minutes.

Natha also urged financial institutions to use this information to develop a lenient loan policy to allow more SME operators to have access to financial loans
The only thing they care about is non performing loans, and how to recover that money.
Isn't it the job of the Government to tackle this?

Third day into the mobile cabinet and about all that's been reported is the watchman had a big poo.
They've done a pretty good job of keeping this money handing out tour under wraps.
His intentions are bloody clear, I start to understand why most Thais don't bother paying attention to politics. It's not worth the hassle.

Hope they expand and compete on nearby international routes without relying on codeshare, and join one world too please keep my miles alive. Bangkok Airways is a good airline with a unique service.

3 years ago he said he needed to improve on his PR and attitude towards the media in an interview with Al jazeera. Nothing has changed.
In fact nothing at all has changed, this interview could have been yesterday, not June 2015.

“I’m not here to take any offers. I’m here to listen to the people,” Prayut said
It's the polar opposite of what he has said.
He is making offers, and people are just listening to him.

Guns don't hurt people, bullets do.
And the people should blame themselves because they chose to stand in front of them.

down yet, or is that next weeks task.
No, that will be when OTHER political parties are allowed to start campaigning, which will be around 4 weeks before the ballot, sometime in 2023

It's not at all bullying, and it's not at all funny.
Don't get me started talking about rights.

After he failed to turn up, the woman’s relatives begged Phakin's young uncle, who looks similar to him, to wear the groom's suit and pretend to be the groom to save face for the scorned woman.
However, the uncle demanded Bt1million for acting the role so the plan was aborted

The notice says they are being ordained as novices. Ordained as in, shaved heads, orange robes, etc. Believe me, it's no where near like a yoga retreat.
I've done it.

5 minutes ago, canuckamuck said:Their isn't a lot of things explicitly forbidden in Christianity, but worshiping other spirits is definitely one of them. This would cause tremendous issues of conscience for any practicing Christian. But what's a stateless boy in the spotlight of a Buddhist country going to do? Say no? Nasty business.
They don't have to partake in anything that contravenes their religion.
Even worshipping Buddha goes against the very basic Buddhist teachings, let alone spirits. These modern practices and rituals have been manipulated and warped over the years so it's pointless to argue it is going against their fundamental beliefs.
I think the point is, without getting into nitpicking over details, that they are getting away from it all to reflect and pay respect to the Navy Seal who gave his life. It is a genuine gesture and I think it will be good for them too.
They are not being forced into a solitude of rituals and chanting. They will be fed, have beds, will be left alone by the media and have a good chance to reflect on what's happened to them.

It's not really a fair comparison. You don't have to worship anything in a temple or even take the precepts on entry if you are not Buddhist. You just have to observe the house rules of conduct and are taught to think by yourself, unlike other institutions, that tell you what to think.

I thought one of them was Christian, or is he ambidextrous?
They are not being ordained, they will just observe the precepts and practise meditation as novices. It's more like a yoga retreat.
I hope they do get some peace but afraid that anyone already inside may have their phones charged ready to leak loads of videos.

Surely the names of the dead people is irrelevant. The watches would now be owned by the living heirs. They need to confirm that they have agreed to extend the loan of their property or ol fatty has stolen them.
And you would think that was pretty easy documentation to come about to on these shores. As I said before, blame the foreigners.
