Thaksin Negotiates for Paetongtarn Amid Potential PM Suspension
FILE - Leader of Pheu Thai Party, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, wave before press conference in Bangkok, Thailand, Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) In a strategic move, Thaksin Shinawatra has reportedly engaged in secret discussions with influential figures, aiming to prevent his daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, from facing suspension as Thailand's Prime Minister. This development follows a comprehensive lawsuit against Thaksin and his Pheu Thai Party, which is currently the largest ruling party in Thailand. The highly confidential negotiations seek to secure what insiders describe as "conditional mercy," allowing Paetongtarn to remain in power ahead of a crucial Constitutional Court verdict expected soon. An anonymous source close to the party suggests that Thaksin's negotiation skills might protect his daughter's political career, despite their fraught legal challenges. The urgency stems from the potential fallout from the Constitutional Court, which may accept a lawsuit alleging Thaksin's undue influence over the party. Observers are keenly watching whether Thaksin's manoeuvring will spare Paetongtarn from a suspension similar to the one that previously sidelined her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, who was ultimately impeached and removed from office last August. At the heart of the allegations is the charge that Paetongtarn's leadership is subject to Thaksin's control, which could lead to her temporary removal from office. The lawsuit claims Thaksin holds significant sway within Pheu Thai, influencing policies, coalition dynamics, and even international engagements. Key accusations include Thaksin's alleged interference with party activities, purported strategic decisions like excluding the Palang Pracharath Party from the coalition, and pushing for a Thai-Cambodian resources project following private talks with Cambodia's former Prime Minister Hun Sen. These varied allegations, if proven, could not only dissolve the Pheu Thai Party but also decisively end Paetongtarn's tenure as Prime Minister, pending the court's final decision, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-11-19 -

Gas-Powered Bus Safety Checks Urgent as Deadline Approaches
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath As the end-of-the-month deadline approaches, Thailand's Department of Land Transport (DLT) has issued a firm reminder to operators of CNG buses. In response to a horrific incident that claimed the lives of 20 students and three teachers on 1st October, the DLT mandated safety inspections for these buses. Yet, nearly half of the nation's 13,426 registered CNG buses remain unchecked. The far-reaching safety directive, initiated on 4th October, has seen just 7,501 buses comply, leaving a staggering 5,925 still due for examination. The gravity of the situation is compounded by 59 buses failing safety tests, leading to their temporary removal from service. With the holiday season approaching, the DLT advises passengers only to board buses proudly displaying the “passed safety inspection” sticker. Ignoring the 30th November deadline could result in severe consequences for bus operators, such as a 50,000 baht fine and removal of vehicles from service. Additionally, continuing to operate a bus that has failed inspection invites further fines. The department will formally notify operators who miss this critical deadline. A 15-day grace period allows a final opportunity for compliance. Failure to act promptly will result in the revocation of the public transport licence, requiring operators to surrender their licence plates. Picture courtesy: Thai Rath In a strict stance against non-compliance, the DLT has stated that bus operators caught running their services with a revoked licence face severe penalties. These penalties could extend to five years' imprisonment or a fine ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 baht. As the intensive inspection deadline nears, authorities emphasise that these measures are crucial in safeguarding public safety and preventing tragic incidents in the future, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-19 -

Taking Someone Home: Ever Reach Down and Get an Unexpected Surprise?
Off topic. The OP doesn't ask about your gender assignment. Plus, nobody cares about your underwhelming unit. -

Little Minds come from Minuscule Screens?: Ever wonder what's wrong with kids today?
Perfectly summarized. I've seen a lot of garbage on forums over the years, but nothing reaches his level of mindless drivel. He must think if he posts a mega pile of it each day that he will get more attention from others somehow. A pity he has no shame or feels no guilt about how useless his content is. -

Trump - just what does he have to do for his supporters to question their allegiance?
Regarding the video above, at 5:58 they mention they could start putting automated kiosks in govt offices. Imagine that comes to Thailand ... that would mean no more need to interact with the immigration officers ... it sounds like.
