  1. Wonder if he also swoops.
  2. He borrowed 30,000. If the daily interest rate is 200 baht per thousand, then 30 x 200 = 6,000 and not 600. August 2023 to December 2023 is 5 months and not 8 months. To arrive at 3mio baht in interest alone, the daily rate would have to be 20,000 baht Nattapong Westwood, I suggest some basic scrutiny before you publish stuff.
  3. Politicians are worried: less swill in the trough..., if this trend continues some may have to become policemen!

  6. The cynic in me wanted to comment, but my sarcastic streak couldn't decide between "blatant disregard" and "road standards"... So I gave up.

  9. In a 100m radius from my home there are no less than 4 7-Eleven stores, the newest one is about 5 years old
  10. Total low priority: 1) He didn't even make a single vow - normally there are several vows from increasingly higher ranking officials, here: nothing 2) "The police would try to uncover" - normally they would say that they were working very hard, here: we try (a bit, maybe) 3) "which agency was responsible" - normally they would swear by Lord Buddha that the police was blameless, here: whoever picks the short straw...
  11. It's not "Thailand’s plan", it's a Pheu Thai brain fart

  16. King Power Wikipedia snippets: In 2004, the government of Thaksin Shinawatra granted King Power the right to operate duty-free shops at Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok's new main airport, for 10 years. Shortly thereafter, the company won the concession to operate duty-free shops at four major provincial airports until 2015. There was no bidding for the concessions. Six years later King Power Group's Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha had made enough money to buy Leicester City F.C. as a hobby. In 2017, King Power was accused of failing to pay the Thai state 14 billion baht (£327 million) from the operation of their airport duty-free shop monopoly. The lawsuit was filed by a deputy chairman of a government anti-corruption subcommittee. Two other King Power group companies owned by the Srivaddhanaprabha family were also accused of corruption in the legal action, along with a senior King Power executive. Fourteen officials working for Airports of Thailand PCL (AOT) have also been named in the suit. The Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases dismissed the case on 18 September 2018, ruling that the plaintiff "was not an affected party, therefore he cannot sue in this case." King Power's "cash cow" is its duty-free business which operates as a government-sanctioned monopoly. Over the years, King Power has been very close to the Thaksin, Abhisit, and Yingluck governments. It has also been a supporter of post-coup governments of Sonthi Boonyaratglin and more recently, Prayut Chan-o-cha. In January 2019, it was revealed that King Power was among the donors at the pro-junta Phalang Pracharat Party's 600 million baht dinner fundraiser. Given their track record there will be no abolishment of their monopoly, instead there will be a donation to the Srettha government.
