Thai Parliament Speaker Wants Thaksin's Name Dropped from Debate
File photo courtesy of Thairath In a recent twist within Thailand's political arena, House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha has requested that the opposition omit former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's name from a no-confidence motion aimed at Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thaksin’s daughter. The decision to seek Thaksin’s removal stems from parliamentary regulation No 176, which prohibits mentioning outsiders in debates without substantial reason. Mr. Wan emphasised that including Thaksin, who does not hold a position in the current administration, would breach these guidelines and risk defamation lawsuits, as Thaksin is unable to defend himself in parliament. Yet, the opposition, led by the People's Party, remains unwavering. Parit Wacharasindhu, an opposition spokesman, argues that regulation No 176 does not compel them to revise a motion unless procedural errors are identified. According to Mr. Parit, such amendments are also time-barred, given that the motion was lodged over a week ago, after which changes aren't permitted. Mr. Parit further contends that parliamentary rules allow third-party references when relevant to national governance issues. He maintains that Thaksin’s public acknowledgments of his influence over government affairs make his inclusion reasonable. The no-confidence motion accuses Thaksin of wielding undue influence over his daughter’s administration, an allegation the opposition considers essential to the debate. The government, seeking to limit the debate to a single day — a stance opposed by the opposition, which is calling for five days — is preparing for the upcoming parliamentary showdown. The opposition warns that confining the debate risks glossing over serious governance concerns. Prime Minister's Office Minister Chousak Sirinil voiced apprehensions that the focus could shift from the premier to include attacks on cabinet ministers. In contrast, PP deputy leader Sirikanya Tansakul insists the opposition has adhered to legislative privileges, arguing that Thaksin’s influence on national matters is pertinent to discussions. As tensions simmer, the stakes remain high. With accusations flying and legislative interpretations challenged, the political landscape stands on the brink of a heated debate set to commence at month-end. Opposition figures encourage the government to remain composed, while they brace for potential legal repercussions from mentioning a third party. The debate promises to be a critical test for parliamentary decorum and political accountability in Thailand, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-10 -

How much do you pay your Thai woman per month?
Bob, I rent my wives on an hourly basis, yes, that's wives, plural. I usually visit with them about 6–8 times per month, spread across multiple women, and spend no more than ฿15,000 in total each month, sometimes less, on the whole shebang. No grief, no stress, no “I’ve got a headache,” no emotional breakdowns or mood swings to deal with. No dinner dates, no weekend trips, no strolling through shopping malls. Don't need any of that. So I have complete control over all of my own time. Plus, the women are usually half my age, never fat, entirely all by my choice of course. I could go on, but let’s just say I’ve got it made. Your fat old wife who doesn't want to get off the couch, can't beat my setup cuz. 🤣 -

Fishing Boat Sinks in Gulf of Thailand After Collision with Cargo Ship
Picture of the rescued crew. A fishing vessel sank in the Gulf of Thailand early morning on 9 March, after being struck by a cargo ship, prompting a dramatic rescue operation. Nine crew members, including both Thai and foreign nationals, were found floating in the open sea before being airlifted to safety by the Royal Thai Navy. The incident occurred at approximately 02:00, when the fishing boat W. Supachanon sent a distress call via satellite phone. The crew reported that their vessel had been struck by a large merchant ship and was taking on water. Shortly after, communication was lost, leading authorities to believe the boat had sunk. The collision took place around 80 nautical miles off the coast of Songkhla and Nakhon Si Thammarat. The exact coordinates were reported as latitude 8°17.000’ N, longitude 101°11.500’ E. The fishing boat had departed from Pattani on 8 March with nine crew members on board. The captain, Veerawat Thaomae, 59, and his son, Thanawat Thaomae, 29, who was the ship’s engineer, were among the survivors. Also on board was Watcharapong Kaewkham, 23, along with six foreign crew members, three from Cambodia and three from Myanmar. All had been cleared by authorities before setting sail. Upon receiving the distress call, the Royal Thai Navy’s Second Naval Area Command launched an immediate search-and-rescue mission. Vice Admiral Nares Wongtrakul, the navy commander in charge, dispatched aircraft and naval vessels from the regional base. By 10:00 a navy helicopter successfully located the stranded crew members floating in the sea and airlifted all nine to safety. They were transported back to Songkhla Naval Base. Authorities have yet to identify the cargo ship involved in the collision. Investigators will interview the rescued crew and review maritime traffic records to determine the circumstances of the crash. This incident highlights the ongoing risks faced by fishing crews in Thai waters and raises concerns over maritime safety regulations and ship navigation protocols in the Gulf of Thailand. -- 2025-03-10 -

This is true. They are praying for the next great depression.
