Monk wins 12 million baht lottery, plans to help community
This is totally against the Precept of Lord Buddha teaching... Let's see if the main "Thailand highest Sangha Buddhist Chief monks or committe has to say or answer to criticism.....Like I criticise on "Lent Buddhist day" about close shop 2 days , not selling alcohol...which is so self centered to attain Arahant,Sainthood ,because govt..put food on the table all the time..so just do meditation to attain it...How many monks had achieved it..show us the statistics...instead they gambling on lottery....Show me..closing shops 2 days against or drinking alcohol, you can attain "Arahant...Sainthood" what a heap of hypocrisy...I am happy with my "Mahayana Buddhism" where we are moderate Buddhism practice...instead of saying the right words..As a respect for "Thailand Buddhist Lent days, we ask you "refrain from drinking alcohol for 2 days to mark as a respect for Thai Buddhism" This I can accept...Fair to all...people and religion...but not forcefully imposed 2 days close shop....Just using the excuse of using Lent day as an excuse to show you look good on this days..but against the teaching of Lord Buddha precept...refrain from drinking alcohol....it's good to be smart, but don't try to be smarter in life.. -

NHRC calls for investigation into Thaksin's "VVIP" treatment
And based on the results of the current crop of criminal proceedings, I'm pretty sure that will be a viable option if his money and connections can't get him out of his current bind. -

Paris Olympics: Officials play down Covid fears after water polo players test positive
Is there a COVID outbreak at the Olympics? At least 10 athletes test positive in one week At least ten athletes, including British swimmer Adam Peaty and Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, have tested positive for COVID-19. What safety protocols are at the Olympics? Aug. 3, 2024 At least 10 athletes competing at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics — including swimmers from multiple countries and five Australian water polo players — have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week. The uptick in cases has raised questions around the measures in place to stop the spread of COVID at the Olympics. This year's Games are considered the first post-pandemic Olympics. Unlike the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, there are no strict protocols or restrictions around COVID-19 in Paris. However, COVID-19 is still spreading around the world. The United States is facing a summer wave, and the virus is also spreading in Europe, including in the Olympic Village. ... Have any Team USA Olympians gotten COVID? Asked if any Team USA swimmers had tested positive for COVID, a USA Swimming spokesperson tells TODAY.com via email: "We don’t share athlete health information publicly." (more) https://www.today.com/health/coronavirus/covid-olympics-2024-rcna164070 Why Olympians Who Have COVID-19 Can Still Compete in Paris August 1, 2024 ... the rules surrounding COVID-19—including vaccination recommendations, who gets tested, isolation procedures, and masking guidance—are very different at the Paris Games than they were during the Tokyo Olympics. In Tokyo, in the summer of 2021, athletes—and the media who had contact with them in interview zones—were tested regularly. Anyone testing positive was immediately isolated and remained separated from others until they tested negative. While vaccination wasn’t mandated, most national Olympic sports organizations, including the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), strongly recommended that athletes be up-to-date with their COVID-19 shot. Officials also conducted temperature checks for anyone entering any competition to monitor for fevers, one symptom of an infection. To further limit the possibility of an outbreak, no spectators were allowed at those Games. In Paris, the fans are back, virtually none of them wearing masks, and there is no regular testing of athletes. A spokesperson for the USOPC said in emailed responses to questions from TIME that American athletes are generally tested only if they have symptoms such as a persistent cough, fever, or sore throat, or if they are just generally feel unwell, and COVID-19 is being treated like any other respiratory illness such as the cold or flu. That means there is no rule preventing athletes from training or competing, just as there isn’t anything from stopping someone with the sniffles or a stuffy nose. To protect other Olympians, however, since athletes share rooms and countries occupy the same living space in the Olympic Village, if athletes test positive, they are generally moved to a single room to limit the chance of getting others sick. The USOPC is also arranging for separate transportation for them to and from practices and events and delivering their meals so they won’t need to be in the public dining hall. Medical clinics at the Olympics also have isolation rooms to accommodate people who test positive. (more) https://time.com/7006533/covid-19-athletes-paris-olympics/ -

NHRC calls for investigation into Thaksin's "VVIP" treatment
I wouldn't bet on that. Dude has money and access to thing you and I don't. Money can buy the means to leave the country plus I'm sure he has multiple passports. I'm sure he could leave the country easily. -

Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
Yes, but the left is not fighting for athletes to have the right to use performance enhancing drugs. The left is fighting for male athletes to compete against female athletes. The Biden/Harris' policy that desecrates Title 9 compelling boys to be allowed to compete against girls and allows boys to use girl's locker rooms just went into effect. -
