Pattaya Police Arrest Teenage Gang After Brutal Attack on Belgian Tourist
My 2 cents will most likely get some hate and that's ok, I'm young I'll get over it, ok not so young. My opinion for juvenile Justice applies everywhere not just Thailand. Whenever a juvenile is found guilty especially of something as heinous as this I believe they should bring back public flogging. Imagine it downtown at City Hall or Town Square. The juvenile gets their rear end tanned to the point where they can't sit down for a week. The public humiliation would be enough that they would think twice the next time they want to do something stupid. 18 & over go to jail. I got my behind tanned when I got caught stealing from a 5&dime as a juvenile do you think I ever stole another thing again. -

Council of State Declares Kittiratt Unqualified as BOT Board Chairman
UPDATE Council of State Dispels Media Claims on Kittiratt's Eligibility for BoT Role Picture courtesy: Money and Banking The Council of State (CoS), serving as the Thai government's legal advisor, has dismissed recent media reports asserting that Kittiratt Na-Ranong has been ruled out as a candidate for the chairman of the Bank of Thailand (BoT) board. On Wednesday, Secretary-General Pakorn Nilprapunt clarified that the council has not yet issued any official decision regarding Kittiratt's eligibility for this prominent role. Media reports suggesting otherwise appear premature as the matter remains under scrutiny, with the CoS expected to deliberate on the issue later today. The ongoing evaluation follows an inquiry initiated by the Fiscal Policy Office under the Finance Ministry, questioning Mr Kittiratt's eligibility due to his stint as an adviser to ex-Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin—a role critics argue could compromise the BoT's impartiality. Permanent Secretary for Finance, Lawaron Sangsanit, countered assertions that he confirmed Kittiratt’s disqualification. Instead, he emphasized that the ministry sought the CoS's counsel for clarity on whether Kittiratt’s advisory role could be defined as political—a determination crucial to validating his candidacy for the BoT chairmanship. The procedural move aims to ensure the adherence to rigorous vetting required for such a significant appointment. "We approached the CoS to confirm the details because we're unsure about the qualification criteria," stated Lawaron. "We're awaiting their legal clarification." Should the CoS classify the advisory position as political, Kittiratt would indeed be disqualified from consideration. Such a verdict would necessitate the Finance Ministry to recommend an alternative candidate for the BoT chair. Despite the uncertainty, operational continuity at the BoT remains secure as the current deputy chairman, also the governor, is empowered to fulfil the chairman's responsibilities in an interim capacity. Amid this controversy, Kittiratt took to Facebook to express his commitment to respecting any forthcoming decision. He expressed gratitude to supporters who have vested their trust in his capabilities, regardless of the final outcome. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira anticipates an official response from the CoS within the next couple of days, which will put to rest this contentious issue and allow the appointment process to progress. The situation underscores the meticulous balance of legal and political considerations inherent in high-profile governmental appointments, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-12-26 -

I HATE Thai Immigration - 90 day online report frustrations
Don't count your chickens. For many of us it worked originally, but for some reason, despite circumstances remaining unchanged, our reminders stopped and we started being rejected. -

Belgian 80, Attacked and Robbed by Teenage Gang on Christmas Day in Pattaya
Fortunately attacks on foreigners like this are still fairly rare, though this does sound like a pretty horrible incident. Six young guys attacking an 80 year old man is about as deplorable as it gets. We don't know whether or not the police will take any action, but one thing we do know is that Pattaya continues to go downhill, continues to become a lesser version of itself, and continues to become more violent and crime riddled as time goes on. I'm hopeful that I never have to return to that rather forlorn spot. -

Trump says he will direct Justice Department to ‘vigorously pursue the death penalty’
You try your best to show Trump in a bad way for these things. But face it. The men were not put to death and had gotten released from exoneration. They would not have been put to death either because it takes almost 20 years in prison before a death sentence is given. Plenty of time for them to be exonerated or to fight with appeals in the courts. So your nice little Trump rhetoric has no bearing to this OP. -
