     I was referring to the Thammasat University "event" ( massacre) of October 1976 ( the clue is in the phrase "50 years") in which over 100 student protesters were killed by Police and what have been euphemistically described as "right wing bystanders". Freely available footage even shows a rather optimistic policeman attempting to use a M18 recoilless rifle ( a US made Korean War era anti tank gun) in the riot control mode, as well as a number of lynchings and victims of indiscriminate shootings and fatal beatings.

     

    Any reasonable person would describe that as slaughter, maybe you would consider it as reasonable chastisement? Read up on the tactics used against protestors throughout the last 5 decades by a succession of governments of shall we say the same "political hue". You may even find it quite gratifying given your expressed enthusiasm for using live ammunition on unarmed protesters. 

     

    If you read Thai ( I don't) or have a teenage daughter who does (I do) it is not difficult to discover the views of the younger generation on the whole business. They know full well what they might be facing. Knowing what they do it takes real courage to do what they are doing.

     

    If you regard ideas such as "shooting to wound" as " pretty normal" well then, forum rules prevent me from truthfully and accurately describing what I think of your views. I very much doubt whether you have ever seen what a high velocity rifle bullet does to a human body, I can assure you there very often isn't a lot left to " lock up"!

     

    You are frankly, a disgrace.

    Thank you for your Frank Answer, Different people  different Views/believes. 

    As what you think of me ,,,,I don't Care,,,, Its My view /thoughts/Believes 

    As for a Bullet The army in the wars had Piercing  bullets Not mush damage they go straight true , the intention was too wound the  other soldiers not to Kill per say.

    If  they  wounded one  it takes 2 to help him , one Shot 3 out of action .

    Yes, they shot an awful lot of protesters. 

     

    You seem to be advocating the same thing.

     

    Given the track record of police and military over the last 50 years or so you will probably get your wish - it is almost inevitable that they will start slaughtering the students eventually. That is the reality of your "not pussyfooting around"!

    It's not Slaughtering as you put it .If the stupid protesters behave themselves instead of making trouble and resorting to Violence . They Must be stopped.

    To me that's pretty normal and should be done.

    If they don't listen to reason and resort to violence  so be it  . if rubber bullets don;'t stop them use the real thing. wound them and Lock them up.

    So, just to make sure that we understand you: you, from your username presumably a citizen of a country which elects it's government and which is not under a virtually permanent state of emergency, are suggesting that the police and army use live ammunition to put an end to these protests?

     

    Are you " for real" as they say or just a frothy mouthed enthusiast for a massacre?

     

    I am for Real,  What's the good of Pussyfooting around ? the protesters can't behave and make trouble and destroy public and private property. Fight Violence with Violence Get the Army if necessary They will understand in the long run. Must keep the Protesters under Control to stop them before it get worse. 

    remember what happen in China?

    The police aim is to maintain peace by shooting protesters by the look of todays wild west show ????

    Well what do you expect It suppose to be a Peaceful Protest.

    If the protesters ain't Peaceful what then? .Just let it be ? 

    In this C19 age ,No more than 5 people together what do they do? 

    Hundreds together . The Government /Police/Army Must use their power to keep the crowd under control. 

    if up to me No rubber Bullets they won't stop the Idiots .Start using the Real stuff they will soon get the message . Like they say fight fire with fire.

    My recommendation.  Don't buy Samsung air conditioners.

     

    I bought one once.  It kept losing refrigerant too.  My Air guy checked the lines and couldn't find any leaks.  He said the leak must be in the unit and I should call Samsung to get their technicians to check it out since it was still under warranty.  A couple of weeks later the Samsung technicians show up.  They had nothing to check for leaks with.  I had to give them some of my dish soap.  In the end they just tightened up the fittings going to the compressor and left.  I replaced the unit.  I just go with Mitsubishi now.

     

    I have yet to see any Air technicians in Thailand that have leak detectors.  They just rely on soapy water.  Kind of sad.  I have seen them for sale on Lazada though.

    And yes the general attitude here is not to fix a leak if it is not too bad.  Just keep charging the refrigerant back up.

    A dye check for ac leaks is a must. 

     If the Chang can't do that tell him/them to LEAVE.

    Isn't Deemoney like Transferwise but for outbound sending money? The brokerage doesn't accept these systems, only from personal bank accounts (I have Kasikorn) using paid for international wires and Swift code. A money laundering security check I expect.

     

    My question was more related to can this even be done without a work permit??

    Yes, It Can.

    Sometimes when my wife is going out and I'm feeling like being reckless and throwing caution to the wind I'll ask her to get a 1000 baht for me from the atm, won't be doing that again after reaching this thread..

    Shouldn't be a problem if you have your THB in a Term Deposit Account.

    That  account must be in your name only.

    "Swiss tourist killer re-enacts crime"

    Surely that should read "ALLEGED "  as he has yet to be tried, even though he has given some sort of confession!  Oh I forgot, this is Thailand where you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence, unless you have influence or money, but preferably both.

    You are guilty until proven innocent . that's why they put one on Remand in Jail until the court date. 

    When you go to court one Has to prove that one is innocent . as for the reenactment  Only the Real killer can do that and that would be pretty stupid as that is an admission to Guilt . Once one does that one is Finished/done/Jail.

    that’s what the lazada rep told me via chat too.  I’ve always felt there should be some kind of check-balance against the misuse of the “packed” function (which benefits the seller as a defacto cancellation moratorium) in that any packed order must have a subsequent “movement” scan within say 48 hours after packed status - if not, then the buyer should have the right to then cancel the order.

     

    but in the end, the COD option really does put the power back into the hands of the buyer. 

    That Power stops at THB 20 000 anything over that is NON COD

    BANGKOK: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Thursday (Jul 29) downplayed the COVID-19 situation Thailand, while claiming that other nations are dealing with higher caseloads.

    That's no reason to have that Smirk on his face. 

    If he would've done the same thing that he done in the beginning of the C19 

    Closing up the Country and a proper Curfew then we wouldn't be in this giant Mess. 

    By keeping open the country and trying to get more people to come to Thailand for a holiday and Hi So Travel isn't going to cut it.
