This topic is about Thai nationals working illegally in South Korea who staged "a protest against their arrests. The protestors gathered in front of an immigration office in Gyeonggi Province, asking for the local authorities to halt the crackdown on illegal workers in the country", according to the opening post of the topic. Clearly, they have no right to work illegally in that country and I honestly fail to "see the symbolism of their standing up for their rights" I also fail to see any connection with the question about "how many foreigners do i see protesting the unfair going ons against us here", where with "here" you presumably mean Thailand. Surely, you are not suggesting that foreigners working illegally in Thailand, if any there be, should organise a similar protest in Thailand. Anyway, this topic would hardly be the right place for such a suggestion.

Are "the Burmese, Lao and Cambodians" to whom you are referring working illegally in Thailand?

To what unfair "going ons" are you being subjected as an illegal foreign worker in Thailand?

That's very interesting. Thank you for having posted it.

Google search. See if this helps, otherwise narrow the search down to the part of Thailand where you live. https://www.google.com/search?q=where+to+buy+canada+dry+in+thailand+bangkok&client=ms-android-google&sca_esv=5f6a5c4feb524586&sxsrf=ACQVn08mLHoYKP6ckmuec4c8AGzdYVq59A%3A1713882109746&ei=_cMnZsaFLY7-7_UP1O6Z0Ak&oq=where+to+buy+Canada+Dry+in+Thailand+&gs_lp=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-AQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp Happy wife, happy life.

Some countries have laws that make it illegal to refuse to accept payment with banknotes and coins that are legal tender in the respective countries. Has Thailand no such law?

Yes.

Obviously, Covid-19 infections did not finish rwo years ago.

Aren't 20k for a CT scan at St. Louis hospital a bit hefty?

On my part, I make myself a pot of tea, lean back, and enjoy the show.

My impression is that Thaiger, and by extension AseanNow, do not syndicate other English-language news publications in Thailand. Very rarely, I see a link to an article in The Nation on AseanNow.

As I cannot read Thai, thanks to AseanNow's Thailand News section I get to read a lot of news about Thailand which otherwise I would not see. Yes, it is mostly AI-generated adaptations from Thai language sources and and other English language publications may have most of it too, but here I have it all in one place without having to load other news websites. No complaints from me.

Why does every new government want to push through a new constitution? Is it to improve the chances of re-election next time around?

I neither speak nor read nor write Thai but as I was intrigued by the question I asked Google Gemini and I don't know if its answer is of any help: " There isn't a single perfect term in Thai that captures the full meaning of "shelf wear." However, here are a few options depending on the specific nuance you want to convey: ร่องรอยจากการหยิบวาง (róng rói dtaak yahk hip waang): This translates literally to "marks/traces from picking up and placing down." This emphasizes the wear caused by repeated handling. ความเสียหายจากการจัดเก็บ (kwaamเสียหาย dtaak yahk jad kéep): This translates to "damage from storage." This focuses on the damage caused by improper storage conditions. รอยสึกหรอ (rói seuk ró): This is a general term for wear and tear. While not specific to shelves, it can be understood in that context. สภาพ (sa-paap): This translates to "condition." You could use it with a descriptive phrase, for example: สภาพเสื่อมโทรมจากการจัดเก็บ (sa-paap seu tom dtaak yahk jad kéep) - "condition deteriorated from storage."

For those, like me, who did not know what shelf wear means: "Shelf wear is a form of damage that can develop on items removed and replaced on a shelf. It can also refer to damage caused by rough handling by staff members and customers. Shelf wear can sometimes be caused by improper storage in the stock room or on the shelves."
