Thammanat Dropped from Paetongtarn’s New Cabinet
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath Thailand's controversial political heavyweight Thammanat Prompao, the acting agriculture minister, has been dropped from the new Cabinet being formed by newly-appointed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. "They (Pheu Thai) don’t want him," said Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of Palang Pracharath Party, in an interview with Channel 3. Prawit confirmed that Palang Pracharath will remain in the Pheu Thai-led coalition, dismissing earlier reports that it would be expelled due to conflicts with Thaksin Shinawatra, the de facto leader of Pheu Thai. Informed sources indicated that the decision to exclude Thammanat was made after Prawit and Thaksin reconciled their differences over a phone call. Earlier, there were reports that Prawit’s younger brother, Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan, would be dropped from the new cabinet line-up. Patcharawat is currently acting as the minister of natural resources and environment. Thammanat, aged 59, was jailed for four years in 1994 for his involvement in a heroin smuggling case in Australia. Opposition politicians in 2021 unsuccessfully attempted to have the Constitutional Court declare him unfit for office. The court ruled it did not recognize Thammanat's conviction since the verdict was delivered in a foreign country. He has consistently denied any involvement in the drug smuggling case, maintaining that he was caught with flour, not heroin. The decision to drop Thammanat is said to be motivated by concerns that he might pose legal troubles for Prime Minister Paetongtarn. Just last week, the Constitutional Court ordered the dismissal of Srettha Thavisin as prime minister, finding him guilty of a serious breach of professional ethics by appointing Phichit Chuenban, the Shinawatra family's lawyer, to the Cabinet in April. Phichit was jailed for six months in 2008 for contempt of court related to a bribery attempt, reported Thai PBS. Palang Pracharath was one of the parties that Paetongtarn vowed not to cooperate with during her election campaign last year due to their association with the 2014 military coup. As prime minister, she may face questions about reversing this stance. Prawit, who did not attend the special House meeting last Friday to vote on Paetongtarn's nomination for prime minister, reportedly sent a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her. Despite the friction, Palang Pracharath will submit its list of proposed cabinet members to Prime Minister Paetongtarn tomorrow. This will include Patcharawat as deputy prime minister and natural resources and environment minister, Santi Promphat as agriculture minister (replacing Thammanat), Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn as deputy agriculture minister, and Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn as deputy public health minister. -- 2024-08-20 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Marriage Visa - Proof of Income
I know of course that I can obtain an income letter, the question was if the immigration would accept that from day one. An experienced visa agent in Pattaya said that was not possible before the second year, the extension. That was my dispute. I am not a native English speaker, and may have challenges making myself understood. Or presenting my case. I took offense because 95% of what you were explaining, I did know very well. I didn't need that lecture. You were acting like I didn't have a clue about anything. It seems you (and DrJack) misunderstood the base of my question. You both showed that clearly at a couple of occasions. The confusion for me was the marriage part from my country. Everything else, I know perfectly well. I've stated that I will continue with the retirement route. Thanks anyway. I do not expect to get any help in the future, based on my posts here. Nor do I want any. Just want to say that I miss ubonjoe very much. He had respect for us, and didn't always assume others had no clue, and treated them accordingly. -

Will Kamala Denounce the Pro Terrorist Demonstrators
The hypocrisy is spread thick on this thread. So many grubby stubby sanctimonious fingers pointing in disapproval at VP Harris. They belong to the same people who found excuses for Trump when white supremacists marched in support of Trump at the Unite the Right Rally & Protest in Charlottesville, VA and where he used the term "very fine people on both sides". The Chicago protestors are voicing their disagreement with VP Harris and the Democrat party. If they were in agreement, they would not be protesting the administration policy. They are trying to disrupt the political convention. And yet, the nabobs of negativity, blame VP Harris for the protests. They would be the first to complain if the protestors' right to protest was interfered with. Yes, VP Harris and the Democrats respect the US Constitution and yes, that means they have to tolerate the protests of some very evil and repugnant people. It is the price of freedom and liberty. The repeated false claims that VP Harris is soft on the protestors is not only incorrect, it is maliciously deceitful. VP Harris has denounced violence and Hamas. Kamala Harris condemns pro-Hamas protesters who burned American flag in D.C. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-american-flag-burning-union-station-dc-hamas-israel/ VP Harris has made clear her position months ago . Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C. we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric. I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation. I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way. I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/25/statement-by-vice-president-kamala-harris-3/ -
