Prawit demanded action from the police to clean up their act.
The RTP - that critics say is merely a mafia organisation in brown - were told by Prawit at the meeting:
No more bribes
No inappropriate behaviour at all
No corruption in any shape or form
The RTP were to offer no favors and follow the law to the letter.
Or else.
Someone must be cutting in on this venal little toad's action..

Are consumers paying price for electricity mismanagement in Thailand?
Having done a fair amount of work here with EGAT over many years, the answer is a resounding 'yes'. ????

Personally not a fan of ink or needles. I don't mind what other people do to their bodies though.
Girls with the discreet tatts are quite a turn-on, but I dislike the heavily-tattooed look. Live and let live.

Thailand’s 2022 daily minimum wage may be raised from October 1
Key word here is "may". Sounds a bit like an empty election promise, imo.

It's more like a spontaneous reaction to a heart-warming story. Happens occasionally..
I wonder why people are so full of themselves they have to denigrate anyone with empathy for others.?
I know sometimes it's not possible to be too cynical in LOS, but go have a nice nap and have another go, eh?

A large amount of the population here were just subsisting before Covid, massive inflation, joblessness, and rising energy costs. Bear in mind there is virtually no welfare safety net, or unemployment benefits here in Thailand.
QuoteThe UTCC’s survey showed that household with monthly income of 50,000 Baht had debts of more than 500,000 Baht and most of those debts were in the personal loan and credit card loan, with these loans/credit card spending mostly used for buying consumer goods and/or durable goods.
I don't think 50k/month is representative of Thailand's household income. I doubt the "UTCC" even bothered itself to survey outside Bangkok.

And its not unique to Thailand, The Uk had several profits of doom One (Neill Fergusson) was caught breaking lock down rules in order to visit his mistress in the early days of covid . another ( may even have been the same guy) had a history of disproved doom and gloom predictions stretching back over 20 years involving everything from Foot and Mouth to SARS. The rest of them were no better. Strangely they all received knighthoods in gratitude for the parts they played in helping to terrify the nation
Same guy. Professor Neil Fergusson at Imperial College, London. Failed computer modeller extraordinaire. Always gets his modeled predictions totally wrong, and indeed is the 'go-to' guy for wrong predictions... Funded by the usual suspects (Bill & Melinda, WHO, etc).

Many of these "doctors" ceased to practice medicine years ago (probably when it dawned on them they were useless) they seem to make a living by being "affiliated " to various organisations and uttering public statements like this, as and when required,
Indeed. Just Govt mouthpieces wearing a white coat. And a mask of course.

What for? walking? are they just lighter than their running shoes?
Not sure, but the pair I bought are lighter than their (waterproof) walking shoes anyway.

Decathlon for me as well. The shoe's description as sold is 'walking shoe' and I bought my first pair maybe four years ago at Decathlon Pattaya. My work offshore involves walking miles with loads of stair climbing and they are simply awesome. Last summer, I headed off for work in Malaysia and forgot to pack them. Luckily, while serving quarantine (remember that malarkey?!) I discovered lazada traded in Malaysia and Decathlon had a store on lazada and I bought my second, identical pair for a whopping 49 ringgits. I wear them for everyday use and as my 'dress' pair for flying, traveling while the original, only slightly shabby pair also get packed for work. The low, low price is a huge bonus.

Yep, have ordered a few different walking shoes from Decathlon. The comfort and durability is great for the price tag.
The "Trail Running" style shoes are worth a look also.

To go back a week later and even lawyer up complaining about an too short haircut for 250 bht is also nuts.
Yep, wild overreactions all sides on this story.
Your haircut could have got you a beating back in late 70's Britain as I recall during my punk rock years.
But nothing like this, obviously.

When comedy legends like Jerry Sadowitz start getting canceled in their own country you know something is wrong.
Hopefully, this silly and self-defeating BS censorship will go full circle and fade away to a distant memory.

Kids left on school vans: New RTP chief orders a crackdown

There is an update to this story in the BP today.
The deceased child's parents are calling for separate autopsy, claiming the child's body has suspicious cuts and bruises to her wrists and legs, and that her clothing was too "clean and neat" for someone who had died of heat stroke.
