Thaksin vies for top spot w PM
"what's more disturbing abt daddy-daughter admin is its complete failure to address choking #smog problem in #Bangkok & #provinces. Its #ignorance of e important role of Royal #Rainmaking & Agric'al Aviation Dept is glaring.. For FY2025 e dept asked for Bht7bil budget but was given Bht2.1b.. while Bht5.2b was granted to promote #softpower projs headed by Paetongtarn, w most of e funding spent on PR.. leaving Bangkokians to choke on #BKKSmog"

Thaksin vies for top spot with PM

<p>You can call Thaksin Shinawatra a former prime minister and de facto leader of the Pheu Thai Party and, lately, also de facto prime minister, as you wish -- because none of those names are wrong. It would, however, be fiercely denied by the guardians of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who insist she is still in charge of the government and running the country.</p>

6/6 and when it did finally rain, like everywhere else, far too much water came at once and crrwated these kinds of new ravines. Also, it is constantly cloudy now - a new weather phenomenon here too in itself (had to think of you @CiaraNi). Now everyone is hoping gor good steady rains this year. Nobody prays in the #rainmaking sacred grove anymore these days, but it feels like you want to do just that. #Tanzania #ClimateDiary
