According to a military origin, the Chinese govt has reportedly agreed to provide the Thai navy with two patrol boats or a warship instead of a underwater.

The agreement was reached, according to the cause, which was disclosed on Thursday during Defense Minister Sutin Klungsang’s latest trip to China. Adm Adung Phan-iam and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Jakkapong Sangmanee were among his committee. The journey concluded on Wednesday.

According to the cause, China has accepted Thailand’s plan to acquire either two onshore police warships or one ship, as opposed to a underwater. The military’s instalments for the underwater over the past six decades, totaling 8 billion rmb, will be used to pay for this arrangement. But, the relevant authorities are yet to make any final decisions regarding this shift.

China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co ( CSOC), which was given the contract to build the submarine in accordance with a government-to-government (G-to-G) agreement, has been concerned by the order change. The submarine was reported to be 50 % completed.

After Mr. Sutin, who was the coalition’s key Pheu Thai Party, was elected defense secretary in September of last year, he announced the following month that the navy’s purchase plan for a submarine from China had been abandoned and that he should rather seek out a warship from China. China’s failure to place a German engine in the ordered submarine contributed to this decision.

The classic deal, signed in 2017 for the S26T Yuan- group underwater, stipulated a European- made oil engine. But, Germany forbids the use of these engines in Chinese military and defense equipment. Thus, Beijing proposed a Foreign- made motor as an alternative.

The suspension was in effect before 9 a.m. because riders were using the range during rush hour to get to function. Team members were seen assisting individuals as they walked along the trail as a train was ordered to stop between the channels.

During the strange knowledge of walking along the track, some people took the chance to take photos and videos.

On social media, photographs of some of the fallen pieces were also shared.

Between Lat Phrao and Samrong, the Golden Series rail travels. The company was launched in July of last year.

Thursday’s event was the next mishap&nbsp, on the rail structure, from which a vehicle tumbled on Jan 2 and struck a vehicle on the road below. &nbsp,

In response, a replacement of the ball-bearings on all Golden Series trains was ordered in order to ensure public safety.

A portion of wire bridge on the Pink Line rail broke free from its frame and fell onto a street in January, causing damage to some parked cars along Tiwanon Road in Nonthaburi.

North Bangkok Monorail Co. is the Pink Line’s operator. The organization and Eastern Bangkok Monorail are subsidiaries of BSR JV Consortium, a cooperative venture between three large SET- listed companies: BTS Group Holdings, with a 75 % shareholding, Sino- Thai Engineering and Construction, and Ratch Group, a main power producer.

Slingshots for officers officials to use against violent monkeys was approved by Pol Maj Gen Apirak.

No evidence that he intends to “dominate”

The Election Commission (EC ) downplayed a claim on Wednesday that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s high-profile visit to the ruling Pheu Thai Party’s headquarters on Tuesday was evidence of his alleged influence over the party.

At this point in time, Thaksin’s attend alone cannot be viewed as “political hegemony” which is prohibited under Sections 28 and 29 of the natural law on political events, EC president Ittiporn Boonpracong said on Wednesday.

All parties are prohibited by law from being controlled or influenced diplomatically by an observer. A party may be disbanded as a result of this conduct.

The EC should launch an investigation into Thaksin’s most recent pursuits, which Mr. Ittiporn was responding to calls from Thaksin’s opponents, who claimed they saw proof that he had a strong influence over the ruling group.

” Unless more details emerge demonstrating then, it is unlikely to be regarded as trying to dominate the party, even if one does so.” And if that is the situation, the EC will then be responsible for taking motion”, he said.

When asked if Thaksin might later travel to visit his political supporters in the provinces, Mr. Ittiporn said that he wo n’t be harmed if the former premier does n’t engage in any activity that might be seen as politically domineering.

Phanwadi Tantisirin, a former red- shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship ( UDD ) group leader in the Northeast, said red shirts in the region are looking forward to seeing Thaksin.

In addition, Mr. Ittiporn provided an update on the progress made by the major opposition party’s petition to the Constitutional Court in order to repeal Section 112 of the Criminal Code, the der majoreste law.

He claimed that the EC has already submitted more papers to the court as the judge had requested.

These papers were n’t new files, but adjustments to ones already provided that were half incomprehensible, he said.

Social activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana had recently submitted the documents, along with his petition calling on the EC to dissolve the MFP, according to Mr. Ittiporn.

The EC is also working on two more party-dissolution situations, one for the Bhumjaithai Party and the other for Pheu Thai.

The EC chair stated that the vote body is already working toward a 30-day deadline to finish investigations into both these cases, which could be extended if necessary.
