and, above all, the surrogacy must be for commercial purpose.
Journalists, when they get it wrong, they really get it wrong, above all!

The Japanese father was reported to have flown out of the country to Macao Thursday.
This story broke 3 days ago, and the guy bolted yesterday. Typical.

Mr Sihasak said Thailand achieved in starting discussions to work out a code of conduct for the South China Sea
A code of conduct with Thai input. Something ethical you should adhere to based on developed moral standards. Makes sense.

It's quite clear that in the scheme of things, murder is not a serious crime in Thailand, if you compare it with let's say plucking mushrooms in a national park. I think violent crimes are viewed as proportionally much more rehabilitable than other crimes, being Thai and thus having Thainess mitigates a lot...

How do we rein in rogue cops?
I know:
1. adhere to physical and psychological aptitude tests when recruiting new police officers - that means the recruits have to actually pass these tests and payment of xxxbaht does not qualify them.
2. mandatory ongoing training on ethics and conduct throughout a cop's career - make sure the officers actually understand and agree with the reasons behind the training.
3. establish a separate, independent agency to investigate cops wrongdoings - it's not that we don't trust police investigating police...hrm, actually it is.
4. real punishment is necessary, loss of job, pension benefits, jail time - let's face it: the threat of an inactive post for a month makes every tough cop shiver in his boots (by laughing so hard that the whole station quakes!)

May I suggest to make online reporting available for TM 30 and 90 day reporting, to save on commute, paperwork and time.
Also, is it really necessary to bring the same copies in duplicate of passport pages, map to residence, pictures of home and family and so on, for extension of stay when there has been no change at all? I think my stack of files in Chaeng Watthana is over a meter high after all these years...if this method continues you will need more space, soon.

she's trying hard to be Angelina Jolie, like totally
Except Angelina (drop by if your ever up Chiang Rai way) is:
1, doing far more good in this world with her campaigns.
2, absolutely gorgeous. The Kardashian creature by comparison, well there are better looking and more intelligent lasses working as conductors on our local buses!

The yellow tabien baan provides proof of address for foreigners living in Thailand.
Here are the steps:
Go to the district office in the district where you live. Mine is in Suan Luang, BKK and it was easy as pie...
I received a checklist from the official to provide:
1" size color photo, Photocopy of my Passport picture page translated and certified by Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chaeng Watthana, copy of last Visa and corresponding extensions, copy of Wife's tabien baan, copy of Marriage Certificate, copy of wife's ID, wife (not a copy), 1 Thai National as a witness who knows me, copy ID witness, copy tabien baan witness.
Note: These requirements differ from each District Office.
My first step was to go to my embassy and get a notarized copy of my passport picture page. 1,650baht
After that off to MoFA. I used the translation service inside the Ministry (go up the escalator and you see it). They have a one-stop-service option, which I took: translation 450baht, application 300baht, notarization fee 400baht, return to me by registered mail 100baht.
I had everything after 3 days.
Made appointment with District Office, went, took about one hour to process, sign, countersign, swear to tell the truth...and I can pick up my very own yellow house book with my name in it tomorrow, which I did today. No charge. Free.
The whole thing took about 2 weeks from conception to finish. Fees total: 2,900baht plus transport.
There is one caveat, though:
The District Office did not say/know about MoFA requirement of Certified by Embassy passport copy (I knew about it because I researched beforehand). So, conceivably a farang shows up to have a regular photocopy translated and that translation certified, which will be refused. Furthermore, there are scammers right outside MoFA offering their "translation services" who will not tell you that you need a certified copy of your passport, so you could end up wasting time and money...
...and one more advice: The Thai spelling of your name in the translated passport page has to be the same as the spelling of your name on your marriage certificate, so take a copy of that with you when you go for translation.

Mr Watchara said he would go to the Forest and Land departments to find out the truth about the land and house in question and to demand the justice permanent secretary to order a disciplinary probe on Mrs Wassamon, an official of the DSI.
Good luck. These officials are wizards with correction fluid...

Good grief. It's just so typical, working hard to fight corruption, slowly building up recognition and then here it comes, the fell swoop into ridicule, again. There just is no foresight, strategic planning or analytical thinking. Someone comes up with an idea, presents it, and nobody can even conceive of any negative results, or too scared to criticize.
A game is a threat to national security...no, being too bloody uptight is a threat to national security.
I have seen so many similar scenarios over the years, it used to be funny at first, now I don't even want to admit I live in Thailand when somebody asks me.

But Kim was undisturbed. She was so motivated to have this girl in her life, she asked the manager of their resort hotel if he thought it was possible to adopt Pink.
No, he said, shattering Kim’s hopes
"...here, have a postcard of the hotel instead...", he added, mending Kim's dreams.

Mr Aryut Sinthoppant, director of Bang Kwang maximum security prison where Dr Wisut spent his term, said that Dr Wisut behaved extraordinarily well and was helpful in providing medical treatment to inmates in prison and, therefore, had his prison term cut for several times.
He claimed that Dr Wisut told him that he would spend time helping the society after his release from prison but did not elaborate what actually he would do.
Since he was providing medical treatment, his license was not revoked...
Prison Director: what would you do if you were free?
Dr. Wisut: I would help the society!
Prison Director: ok, you are free.

I have a Siemens front loader (9kg) and a Siemens dryer, which sits on top. They are three years old and no problems at all. I use the dryer basically only for towels, it dries a full load in about 30min, sucking the moisture out, similar principle to aircon. Very quiet operation and autobalance.

the police involved in any wrong doing will face serious charges as will their commander
Seriously? Nah, they can't be serious...is there such a thing as a seriously inactive post for serial offenders?

Lao woman arrested at Mukdahan border check-point carrying Bt30 million cash

Employer: K. Matapon, here is a million dollars, please put in bank account, we will corner the Pepto-Bismol market!
Matapon: Great idea, Boss, I'm on it!
Matapon (at the bank): Aw shucks, it's too early, bank is still closed..., hmm, what to do? Hah, I'll drive to Laos and have a cup of tea until the bank opens!
I do appreciate the time and effort that went into constructing those excuses to justify wrongdoings I have been reading about nearly every day. Of course the construction material is not of the best quality...
