  1. People's Party? I mentioned them when I posited a similar 'crystal ball' opinion on another thread a couple of months back, after the latest results of the Tambon elections. It was summarily dismissed as it seems PP don't have a dog in this fight. Comparatively unknown and underrepresented across the board apparently. The "nice but dim" party, so to speak. No clout. As for 'control', I am hard-pressed to see where any of Thailand's multi-flavored coalitions have ever been in control of anything and have all been dependent on too many cliques of vested interests masquerading as a political party to prop them up/keep them in the lifestyles to which they're accustomed.
  2. Saintly? Meh... Pair of (dodgy) bookends more like.
  3. In a modern and mature democracy anywhere else, your concerns about the seriousness of this development would be valid. However, this is Thailand.
  4. Indeed. If it were not for the rubbish insurance policy many may/would opt for option you outlined. Just to round out a fresh knowledge base of all the options, what is the cost of the bare-minimum, Thai-issued insurance that's needed to support the Non-OA application? I imagine the palaver getting it is seen as not worth it but interested to see the costs, outwith the time wasted, paper chasing aspect.
  5. Myanmar bad. Thailand good Hope this helps.
  6. "Earlier this year, a pure car and truck carrier chartered by SAIC Anji Logistics, Morning Midas, sank after a fire reportedly started on a deck carrying EVs. The crew was evacuated, and the vessel, which carried approximately 3,000 vehicles – including 681 hybrid EVs and 70 pure EVs – was lost. A cause has not been formally confirmed. In 2023, the Fremantle Highway caught fire in the North Sea after departing Bremerhaven Port. The fire was extinguished, and the ship was later towed to safety. The vessel was carrying EVs, but authorities did not attribute the cause of the fire to those vehicles. The 2022 incident involving the Felicity Ace saw the ship sink two weeks after a fire broke out onboard. The vessel was carrying around 4,000 vehicles from various Volkswagen Group brands. At the time, reports suggested that lithium-ion batteries may have contributed to the severity of the fire, although the exact cause was not officially confirmed." So two automobile transport ships carrying EV's didn't catch fire from spontaneous car fires and burned-out to the waterline within the past month. Thanks for the clarification.
  7. Let me think about that. His daughter has seriously and publicly maligned a Thai army chief while speaking with a foreign person who's army has subsequently killed some of the maligned army chief's soldiers. For her pains, she is facing censure and at minimum, permanently losing her position as leader of Thailand. So the doting father, who is very well aware through past experience that keeping the military onside is paramount to his daughter's freedom as well as continuing his charmed life here, of course he's going to make kissy face with the military. Yes, everything Thaksin does it for the good of the people and the country. Absolutely EVERYTHING. But I will accept that you have a different definition for "shameless huckster".
  8. Do you understand that OJ was still a murderer?
  9. You are quoting their reference to the conditions for the LTR visa. You are not using the LTR visa.

  11. 331-304 avoiding 7 is best
  12. Correction, the banks and DWP will be using AI donkeys that are way, way, WAY faster than anyone squatting long-time in a fan room on Soi Khopai can cancel their bogus winter fuel allowance claim
