Thai Politics Poised for Potential Turmoil Amidst Economic Strains
File photo courtesy: Wikipedia ANALYSIS Thailand's political scene is bracing for potential upheaval as waning public confidence in the government's economic management casts a shadow over the Pheu Thai Party-led administration. Parliament President Wan Muhammad Noor Matha has voiced concerns that unresolved economic issues, now as the government nears the midpoint of its four-year term, could stir political unrest. Public dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the economy, if unabated, could challenge the administration's ability to serve its complete term. However, Mr Wan hinted at a potential outcome: if the government can address these economic grievances effectively, public satisfaction might enable it to endure until the elections. He has observed a notable improvement in parliamentarians’ conduct compared to previous ones. Debates have been more constructive, and importantly, parliamentary sessions have not faltered due to lack of attendance—encouraging signs that might bolster public trust in parliament. Contrarily, People’s Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut plans to initiate a censure debate against the government by March, underscoring newfound opposition determination. While admitting past oversight inadequacies, his focus will now sharpen on scrutinising government operations, especially regarding laws pivotal to constitutional revisions. On the other hand, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai remains optimistic about the government's prospects, despite looming challenges. Among these hurdles are maritime territorial disputes with neighbouring Cambodia and the speculated return of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, events that could reignite political tensions. Yingluck Shinawatra, having left Thailand in 2017 before a five-year jail sentence for a controversial rice subsidy scheme, might soon stage a return. Some analysts predict her homecoming could evoke similarities to her brother Thaksin’s return, potentially fuelling political disturbance. Despite these prospects, Mr Phumtham, also the defence minister, dismisses fears of imminent tumult or a military coup, asserting that if Yingluck returns, adherence to legal protocols would negate any justification for a coup. Meanwhile, Yingluck has publicly extended New Year wishes for prosperity and resilience to the Thai populace. As Thailand enters a new year fraught with economic and political uncertainties, the government stands at the crossroads, with its ability to navigate current crises critically determining its longevity in power, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-02 -

Bank of Thailand Boosts Mobile Security with New Transfer Limits
Just a funny observation in the use of the acronym 'BoT', for Bank of Thailand. I thought 'Bot' was short for 'Robot'. Or may be there is a connection? 😜 -

Juristic want's to ban weed possession in the building - are there other weed free condos?
Do you think people will smoke weed in a completely closed condo? That's not going to happen because people who smoke also want to have fresh air. -
