  1. Sounds like an insurrection to me. Arrest the whole Thavisin government.
  2. Great. Remove full page ads as one reads an article or responds, especially video ads and other ads placed not to disrupt reading and "Submit."
  3. Technology has been around for years (decades?). Not commercially viable, adaptable, distributive, and dangerous to the environment. "Why hydrogen cars are not the answer," by Russell Hayes January 27, 2023 thecarexpert.co.uk Infrastructure - Hydrogen storage demands purpose-built facilities, which can’t simply be pluged into the national grid like a battery charging point. Car makers (ie., Japan) who have already built production hydrogen fuel cell cars have tended to be those who want to showcase their technical expertise rather than make a profit from them.
  4. Maybe you missed it but some called the 2023 election a coup, ie., a minority party with the aid of military appointees threw out what was to be a majority populist government. Seat belts of democracy no longer necessary.
  5. Where was this court when coup leader Gen. Prayut abolished the entire 2007 Constitution in 2014 after unconstitutionally overthrowing the elected Parliament and government? Silence. But oddly retained their positions. Not even a polite protest. Generally under the Rule of Law, a person coming to court with a lawsuit or petition must have "clean hands," be free from unfair conduct. But what would it mean when the court itself has unclean hands in a matter it is to ajudicate? The Thavisin government should ethically and morally support MFP in its defense if the PTP government allegedly represents the Thai electorate majority - for it's the Thai People's sovereignty that is at stake. Or will there be just more silence?
  6. It's a multiple issue. There's no "one size fits all solution to the labor gap. Lack of Thai skilled labor having technological know-how, (ie., shortage of vocational degrees) such as recognized by the EEC Office in S-Curve industries. Number of qualified Thai workers is falling due in part to population aging and low birth rate. Quotes and paraphrased excerpts from SCB Economic Intelligence Center "Bridging Thailand's Labor Gap," Insight published 2015Q1: "Impractical" schooling where even "professional-level candidates lack many skills required by employees, ie., in creativity, IT skills, English and mathematical proficiency." Thai schools and universities emphasize general education instead of vocational training, engineering and science. Thai schools focus more on studies for social sciences, business and law versus science, engineering and manufacturing, and science. The Hospitality and Food & Beverage sectors are least likely to experience labor shortage. Guess where the previous and new governments have been focused?
  7. The 7/11 near my house project 2 years ago remodeled to 2x size, adding a 15 seat eating window area inside. So eat in cool ac.
  8. Trump gave the world MAGA. Liz gives the world MEGA - Make England Great Again.
  9. From 90-member Civil Society Organizations (CSO), October 14, 2023 (very lengthy, detailed and ominous - just paraphrasing a couple key parts) "Joint Civil Society Statement Concerning Thailand's Fishing Sector at a Critical Crossroads," https://www.hrw.org/news/ the new Thai government should follow a clear precautionary approach that follows scientific principles, rather than prioritizing short-term industry gains over long-term stability, sustainability, and respect for human and labor rights. proposals that challenge the electronic payment system's overall effectiveness for ensuring that workers are paid and that they are paid the proper amount should be rejected all existing IUU directives and transparency mechanisms currently contained in both law and regulations to be preserved and strengthened, rather than diminished or dissolved. protection for the rights of migrant worker crews should be expanded, not reduced, and reform made to the Labor Relations Act of 1975 to permit foreign migrants to organize, officially register, and lead labor unions of their own making. The only catch up by the new government is Backing Away from the Future. They say liberalising, I say Ketchup to the 21st Century.
  10. Regardless of the Iran-Israel conflict, Thailand appears to have already "trapped" itself with higher energy costs. (Note that unless Iran begins sinking oil tankers from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emerites and Libya in the Middle East. Otherwise imports from the USA and Malaysia should be secure.) First by relying more on Russian oil exports given an advantageous currency conversion caused by UN sanctions against Russia and from pricing for what appears to remain neutral in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Second Thailand has begun actively purchasing spot crude shipments to feed anticipated higher domestic fuel demand driven by Thailand's strategy to turbocharge its tourism industry. www.spglobal.com Spot prices can be artificially affected significantly by public perception.
  11. A strange analogy if one intends to uphold a publicly elected governor consistent with a democratic process. Typically, it is the Board of Directors who nominates the CEO and company shareholders who vote for the appointment. Anyone outside of the company, ie., the public-at-large like consumers, has no vote. In this CEO elected analogy, the "consumers" are the public electorate (registered voters within the province) tgat will continue to have no vote. Who are these BOD and shareholders who have the vote? Not identified. Might as well be analogous to the current "elected" Senate. Thus, this "division" appears to be a false democratic disguise by an otherwise exiting authoritarian political control of the truly entitled voting electorate. Neither should be considered. (added edit - using the CEO analogy means shareholders buy their vote with exchange of money for shares. Isn't that illegal in Thailand?)
