Constitutional Court Cannot Dissolve Move Forward Party, Says Leader
Srettha: Prices are up, inflation continues its march, and income for many Thais who are not successful entrepreneurs, or government workers, is down. Tourism will not recover anytime soon. The quality of tourists continues to drop, the average spend is down, and occupancy rates are low. In addition, exports are down, and we have not even seen a real recession hit yet overseas. Nor has the market correction come yet. So, there is still alot of headwind that Thailand faces. So why does Thailand want to join BRICS? There’s probably a good deal of their governments playing up for their local audience. Thitinan Pongsudhirak, someone always worth listening to, argued that this “hasty and misguided move” was intended for domestic consumption, mainly because Srettha has a litany of unfulfilled promises: No progress on joining the OECD No Schengen visa-free deal No real progress on a trade deal with the European Union And major pushback on his government’s “digital wallet” and “Land Bridge” schemes. “BRICS is thus played to domestic audiences as a deliverable achievement,” Thitinan argued. Pita and Move Forward: The recent election shows that the people are both sick of being led by highly ignorant dinosaurs, with no interest in progress, and are interested in smart, young folks, who are serious, accomplished, capable of change, and interested in insuring that Thailand has a good future. Pita is exactly what this nation needs, at this point in time. However, he was too progressive, and the goons had to stop him, in the name of regression. After all, this is a man who interrupted his studies at MIT, during an MBA program at Sloan to rescue his father's rice bran oil business, Agrifood, after this fathers death. He was successful, and is paying down the 100 million baht his father borrowed to start the company. This is a serious man. Very unlike the failures before him. He then went back and finished his MBA, at one of the top business schools on the planet. He is an accomplished man, unlike all the army goons, who are only good at bossing young men around. Nothing else. Nada. Zero. Nunca. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
Most Thai banks I'm familiar with allow the accountholder to set varying maximum amounts of ATM cash that can be withdrawn PER DAY. In my experience, those options can range from very low amounts up to quite huge amounts into the hundreds of thousands of baht PER DAY. Those PER DAY withdrawal limits are separate from the physical limits that banks set for their ATM machines, which typically allow a maximum of anywhere from 25 to 30 bills PER TRANSACTION. Those machine-based per transaction limits are NOT adjustable in any way by the card holder. -

When did I whinge about people not sucking up to me? Why would I want people sucking up to me? I call it as I see it. Too bad if you don't like it. -

Thoughts on the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics
I definitely don't need bigger, and I think oftentimes bigness is overrated when it comes to cultural events and many other things. But better is a different story, I think it's wonderful when humankind continues to strive for better, especially when it comes to things of a cultural or international nature. -

Harris Confronts Trump’s Remarks on Her Identity with Calls for Unity and Respect
Yes. there is always the possibility that this might be true. Therefore, before posting anything I know in a comment on The Farang Pub, I first pass it through a filter. The filter I use is called: The Scientific Method Also, I never allow my personal beliefs, nor my cultural beliefs, or any other non-evidence-based filters, to influence the truths that I add to the forum. The only filter of value, which I call The Great Filter, is the filter that comes naturally when we meticulously apply... The Scientific Method I wish that everyone in government would do the same.- 1

Call me whatever you want, I have pretty thick skin, so names don't hurt me. No, I did not like it, and no I do not like very unattractive people doing absolutely nothing, but looking unappealing. Dr. Jill doesn't even register on my personal meter, so do not care what she says. The world is full of people doing and saying things these days that me absolutely nothing to me. Maybe I'm getting old. Ha!
