Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
I don't enjoy the inconvenience of some half-wit at the register who takes several minutes to work out how to pay with their phone. The problem with smartphones- there are a lot of dumb people using them. -

Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
IMO, the bus driver should have known how to get the doors open, or at least used a fire extingusher to bust what ever windows he could have to save some of those trapped. The owners of this bus company should be sued into bankruptsy. The inspector(s) who kept this and other illegal buses on the road, should be sued and jailed for their role in the childres, and those 3 teachers deaths. -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
Bummer ... as I think it's well established, that was BS and didn't exactly happen as LBJ reported to Congress. USA planned on a war in VN even before that, just needed to con the masses for approval. -

Trump to remove legal immigrants.

Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
I find the use of the word 'shocking' hilarious - is anyone in Thailand even vaguely shocked to hear that a government agency is corrupt here? It is well known that people here do not get promoted to decision making positions because of their skill set. People get promoted by either buying the position or through nepotism. This is why the rules created are so unworkable - they are created by people who are simply not qualified for the job. Then the rest of us (lower ranking govt officals included) are left to work with an unworkable system. The only way anything gets done is by sidestepping unworkable rules. So either the country grinds to a halt due to impossible bureacracy, or govt officials bend / break rules. If they are going to bend / break rules to help someone get a license / permit / whatever then they are taking a risk, so naturally they will want paying for helping out. The culture of corruption flourishes in an environment perfectly suited to it's creation. Hiring decison makers based on their qualifications for the job would make a great start towards fixing the situation. Until the the systematic, deeply entrenched culture of buying positions and nepotism is address properly, I guess we will continue to be regularly 'shocked' by revelations of corruption, each time believing the fairytale of an isolated incident.
