Military tackles Bali Hai parking woes

Parking problems at Bali Hai Pier have attracted the attention of the army, with soldiers vowing to tow away boat trailers taking up vehicle spaces.

Col. Popanan Luangpanuwat, deputy commander of the Military Circle 14, led Pattaya city, police and Marine Department officials to the South Pattaya jetty Sept. 22 to inspect the boat-parking system.

Luangpanuwat noted that a large number of vehicle-parking spaces were filled with laid-up boats – many of which never see the water – which causes parking shortages and congestion as tour buses try to navigate streets narrowed by the parked trailers.

He suggested boat operators be summoned to up a meeting to find a resolution to the problem of private citizens taking up public property and depriving Pattaya of parking fees.

Is a man guilt to take a girl to be his wife?

No, he is not guilty under this context. However a married man has no right to do so because he cannot have more than one wife. Around 1971, I was a trial at Udonthani provincial court in the northeast of Thailand. I tried a case Of this type. The offender claimed that he took the girl to be his wife. I asked him, “Are you a single man?” He turned around agitatedly and said with a shaking voice, “I am married, sir.” So I imprisoned the offender for how long I don’t remember exactly, possibly five years. The Court of Appeal affirmed my judgment.

UDD office remains closed after coup

BANGKOK, May 28 -- The office of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), popularly known as the red shirts, the main supporters of former premier Yingluck Shinawatra's government, has remained closed, after Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan Ocha declared his seizure of power on May 22.

The UDD office situated on the 5th and 6th floors of the Imperial Department Store in Bangkok's Lat Phrao district, was found quiet with no sign of any members of the group moving about the office, as three main leaders of the group have been detained by the authorities.

Meanwhile, the Red Shirts' satellite TV channel was still not able to broadcast their activities through the channel, as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has temporary halted all satellite broadcasts. However, employees of Asia Update channel were still seen arriving for work as usual.

Many red shirt supporters were also spotted gathering to talk about the current political situation the nation is facing, though none of the the group's guards were noticed in the area. (MCOT online news)

NCPO might lift curfew in some tourist areas

BANGKOK, 29 May 2014 (NNT) – The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) is considering whether or not it will lift curfew in certain provinces in order to ease the political tensions and the impact on the country’s tourism industry.

According to Deputy Spokesperson of the NCPO Col Nattawat Chancharoen, the army is mulling over lifting curfew in some tourism destinations, given that the political situation is now stable and that there are no signs of unrest.

The NCPO was earlier informed that the imposition of curfew had been affecting the tourism industry as entertainment venues and other tourist attractions, including restaurants and department stores, were forced to close their daily operations down early.

The curfew has been invoked since last Thursday when the military decided to seize power and established the NCPO to run the country. The current curfew hours are from midnight to 4 am in the morning.

Studying Law in the UK for a successful career

Last week in Germany, a court passed a new law ruling personal pictures should be deleted at the end of a relationship to protect the individuals’ privacy. In the US law officials are still working out the best ways to implement the new Affordable Care Act, and in Louisiana, a new law enables people to carry guns in restaurants that serve alcohol. Privacy, access to healthcare, personal freedom – there are laws for every aspect of our lives, giving us freedoms and restricting our rights.

People with an interest in law will know how important the process of law-making is, and how much of the legal system governs our everyday life. Laws extend beyond borders, and often have a grounding in a country’s cultural history and heritage – making the study of foreign law interesting to today’s global citizens.

English Law, for instance, has left its mark in many of the United Kingdom’s former colonies, who today have a legal system based on the process of ‘Common Law’. These include Canada, the US, the West Indies, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, and many others. Local jurisdictions have developed their own rules and case law, but the English Law Degree remains of an excellent standard both in the UK and abroad, and is a sign of a high academic training.

As a result, many international students choose to complete their undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in one of the UK’s reputable law schools before starting a career abroad or in their own country. Learning alongside students from all over the world is one of the biggest advantages of Law programmes in the UK, giving students an additional insight into other legal systems and cultures. International students coming to the UK can expect to learn about the differences in law-making in comparison to their own country, and a university’s links to institutions and staff abroad should be one of the main reasons for selecting a Law programme. At Nottingham Law School, students will be taught by staff who have links with international and European universities and regularly deliver papers at international conferences, and travel abroad to promote courses.
