Foreign Pilots Temporarily Allowed to Fly Domestic Routes?
Picture courtesy of Thai Vietjet. The Labour Ministry is considering a temporary allowance for foreign pilots to fly domestic routes under wet lease agreements, according to Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. While this arrangement is being explored for one specific airline, further requests from other airlines will be evaluated individually. Minister Phiphat stated that the ministry is awaiting a final meeting with the airline to conclude discussions. The issue was first raised by Thai Vietjet last month during a meeting with the Department of Employment, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), and the Thai Pilots Association. The airline requested permission for foreign pilots to operate domestic routes under wet lease agreements, a request originally made to former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. The ministry confirmed that Thai Vietjet intends to lease two aircraft, complete with crew, maintenance, and insurance, from a foreign company for six months. The airline plans to operate these jets during Thailand's high tourism season. Although domestic flights are usually reserved for Thai pilots, the ministry is considering making an exception. Phiphat noted that Thailand does not face a pilot shortage, but the lease terms require foreign pilots. A ministerial regulation could be issued to allow this on a temporary basis without parliamentary approval. He added that if other airlines wish to pursue similar agreements, they will need to file separate requests for consideration. However, Teerawat Angkasakulkiat, president of the Thai Pilots Association, expressed concerns that allowing foreign pilots could reduce job opportunities for local pilots. He urged the government to focus on enhancing Thailand's position as an aviation hub and increasing flight capacity to boost domestic pilot employment. Sarun Benjanirat, deputy director-general of CAAT, mentioned that while wet leasing is not uncommon, it has been rarely used in Thailand since its introduction in 2008. Unlike other nations which frequently utilises such arrangements, Thailand has minimal engagement with this practice, as it is not signed Article 83 of the Chicago Convention, which allows the state of registry to transfer supervisory responsibilities for an aircraft to the state of the operator. -- 2024-09-21 -

Baht's Biggest Surge Since 1998 Poses Risk to Tourism And Exports
Does your crystal ball also predict the winning lottery numbers ? From a recent thread on this very forum Posted yesterday at 03:51 AM The Cannabis & Hemp Act of Thailand just dropped: 2025 marks the beginning of Thailand's cannabis leadership in the region Keepers of the supply chain face stricter oversight; consumers will be punished with fines for sheer stupidity only. Carl K Linn Thailand unveils new bill to regulate cannabis while keeping it legal As of January 1st, 2025, cannabis consumers in Thailand will have access to the same wide array of dry flower currently available. I think it needs either recalibrating or taking back to the scammer who sold it to you -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
New Poll with surprising results. 49% of Russians support withdrawal of troops from Ukraine, poll says Nearly 50% of Russian people support withdrawing troops from Ukraine and negotiating for peace, even without achieving the Kremlin's military objectives, according to a joint survey conducted by independent pollsters ExtremeScan and Chronicles. The figures represent a striking shift from the overwhelming support for the war indicated by past polls. A February survey from the Levada Center, an independent Russian polling organization, found that 77% of Russians supported the full-scale war in Ukraine. According to polls conducted by ExtremeScan and Chronicles in September 2024, 49% of Russians support the immediate withdrawal of troops from Ukraine and peace talks with Kyiv, an increase of nearly 10% from the three previous polls held since February 2023. When asked about Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast, respondents said it was more important to oust Ukrainian troops from Russian territory than to seize more ground in eastern Ukraine. https://kyivindependent.com/49-of-russians-support-withdrawal-of-troops-from-ukraine-poll-says/ -

Barretts Esophagus
I am not able to recommend a doctor in Pattaya area for this and it is too important to leave to an average doctor You should come to Bangkok. In doing that, you'll need to choose between paying more and being able to get what you need pretty much at once, or paying less but having to either make 2 trips or stay a while in Bangkok. I suggest you consult Prof. Parit Mekaroonkamol. He can be seen at any of 3 private hospitals or (more time-consuming, but cheaper) through Chulalongkorn Hospital. Private hospitals: https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/doctors/asst-prof-dr-parit-mekaroonkamol https://www.bangkokhospital.com/en/doctor/assoc-prof-dr-parit-mekaroonkamol https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Parit -Mekaroonkamol He is US trained (Emory Univ) and very thorough. If you want to try through Chula, contact is https://chulalongkornhospital.go.th/kcmh/en/ec/ศูนย์ความเป็นเลิศทางกา/ I have no experience or feedback on people trying to directly access that center so can't say how easy it will be. Personally, I'd try to have it done by him at MedPark, they have a promotional price through end of the year of 16,500 https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/packages/gastroscopy-colonoscopy-package Need to confirm if this price includes IV sedation or not. Even if that is extra, still a good price for Thailand. -

No need to apologize. From enduring decades of right-wing rubbish at least am familiar all their tropes, obfuscations, and lies. Learn them. Recognize them. If you care to verbally tear them to ribbons. And always VOTE BLUE!
