Probably studied somewhere outside Thailand. I wonder if there is any Thai who can speak good English without having lived in the west for a while.

i disagree. It says “find the right marriage partner”
I have seen many foreigners come to Thailand and marry prostitutes, buy her a house, take over the role as father to her kids, spend money trying to help out the extended family or entire village, get overcharged on sinsot etc. and then end up losing the lot and being very bitter about the situation.Well...in the eyes of TAT and most of Thai men these prostitutes ARE the right marriage partners for us foreigners. The more the Thai girls squeezes the stupid husband, the more Dollar / EURO / Yen stays in Thai economy- steady influx of money for over 35 years already. Who cares if at the end he is "up losing the lot and being very bitter about the situation"?
Obviously the wrong marriage partner. Finding a wife in a hooker bar would be like buying a second hand car from a hire car company, thrashed by hundreds of people with worn out parts and dodgy wiring and too many miles on the clock.The brand new shiny "cars" with zero "mileage", they keep them for themselves. Thai upper-class men find them in "showrooms" in HiSo-areas in Bangkok. Foreigners are not too welcome there. Better take them to seedy beer-bars in Pattaya.

So not too many competitors left then- BigC, Tops, FamilyMart and MaxValu. Anything else? Carrefour and Jusco quit business in thailand long time ago.

project is on schedule, expected to be completed late next year, in operation 2022.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea. Impressive how China is pushing infrastructure-developement in SEA. I am still dreaming of travelling from germany to Thailand by train. Apparently there are 20 departures per week from Duisburg to Chongquing, but only cargo, no passenger line yet...

He said the project will help strengthen ties between Thailand and China, reflecting a mutual commitment to infrastructure development to help promote economic prosperity, connectivity, and relations between the people of Thailand and China.
Uh...wait a second. It ist just 260km Bangkok-Korat! Another 1200km to build before reaching the chinese border. And: Have you seen the actual meter-gauge-trains crawling while crossing the Mithrapap-Bridge over the Mekong in NongKhai Province? I think a high-speed project will need lots of new tunnels and bridges all the way from Isan to Lao and to Yunnan.
This is like building a speed track between Naples and Rome and saying it would strengthen ties in Europe or reflecting mutual commitment between Sweden an Italy.-

I can't believe they will really invest 265 billion Baht in this old, outdated dinosaur 1000mm gauge and their stinky diesel-engines. Better tear the tracks out completely, just keep the trace-layout and build some modern, electrified 1435mm standard gauge double-track lines

>Before allowing resumption of services, the CAAT needs to know the destinations they want to fly
oh really?
And before Covid jet operators could go anywhere they wanted without CAAT having a clue?!

Some of the Thais tell me that Germany will probably also be "in". Lowest infection rate in western Europe- and after all, we already had some kind of "bubble" the last couple of months here near Zugspitze.

a committee, and the first thing it does, is appoint two sub committees; job done
It's really like a parody
The newly appointed committee held its first meeting today [April 29.,16:00 p.m.]....
“After the plan was approved, the SEPC appointed the Transport Ministry to submit the plan for Cabinet approval." [April 29., 16:08 p.m.]
The meeting was formally closed, everybody made a "waai" to each other and to the TV-cameras." And up they all went in 5 different stretch limousines to a soapy massage at Ratchadaphisek [April 29., 16:13 p.m.]-

One day I like to get some lessons from one of those scammer how to make a woman fall in love with me and spend lots of money in that process. These guys must have real talent.
For me something "in between" would be more than enough: "how to make a woman fall in love with me without me spending lots of money". I don't need to scam money out of girls. But would be happy to save some...

Are they all the same manufacturer, or does the winner have to repair 20 different manufacturers engines...and how many different models. If it’s like the busses, they will need many different parts
probably mostly all the same engine, all manufatured by former Wabtec (Westinghouse Air Brake Tec) Corporation, now GETS (GE Transportation Systems).
When oh when will Thailand electrify it's train system and build overhead lines (and 1435mm gauge of course) -

????Surin 2-30 AprThat reminds me a little bit of the mess when the lockdown started here in germany a couple of weeks ago- schools were closed in some states already (Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein) while elsewhere "party" was still going on. But then again germany is a federal system and every prime minister wanted to decide himself. Hasn't Thailand much more a centralised gouvernement, where those decisions are made countrywide from Bangkok only?

"เราไม้ทิ้งกัน" or "เราไม่ทิ๋งกัน" I hope they don't fall for it. Thai written language is like programming code. All these little tonmarks are very important and distinctive (unlike the french accents è, é, ë) and everybody who finished Matajomton should be able to see the mistake. But then again... upcountry many attended only Prathomsueksaa.

I got that 10 days ago: they change the night flight to the say flight but I guess that is not related to tis crisis. They have been suppressing night flights for a while ( a bother when one pays more to be able to sleep on the plane and ends up not getting the flight one initially paid for: mind you minor problem compared to a cancelled flight all together)
I know that it is a "minor problem" - i live and work in germany, so it would just be a holiday-flight (booked it second week of january when even Wuhan still wasn't locked up). Probably going to cancel it anyway. But I hope THA will not go bancrupt before, so I can get my money back....

I'm stuck overseas and my family 3yo and wife are in Bangkok.
THAI canceled my 5 April flight yesterday.
So I will not be able to see my family for many months.
Out of this all I hope Thaiairways collapses and a better carrier takes over. THAIAIRWAYS has been the worst but only option for me in the past..
May and June there were two THA-flights per day (early afternoon TG921 and evening TG923) from FRA->BKK and from BKK->FRA accordingly. Seems like every other of those two flights is now cancelled for the whole period: I had a ticket for for the evening flight FRA->BKK at end of may and have been changed to the afternoon flight (see attachement). Wonder when they will cancel that one too...

That maybe means that the thai App MorChana doesn't use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)? With the Corona-App here in Germany you can leave Bluetooth enabled all the time (something I haven't done before) and I don't see it using a big amount of battery power.
