Against my better judgement :P I decided to at least post this article and close commenting.
First off keep in mind Cabinet approved doesn't mean these changes take effect, BUT it's the first step in the process, so now we wait for the official announcement, publication, etc
If you do want to comment or chew the fat about these seemingly upcoming changes go on the inter-web and look for it :O There are enough groups/forums out there that are letting this news run wild. Just so we're clear, this isn't gonna be one of them :/
We (and by we I mean anyone who posted this information on a website/forum/F/B group in english) know exactly what it says in this article. We know nothing more and we know nothing less :( That means we are as in the dark as you all are as far as how it will all work :O
In fact ALL the articles are just different versions of the same original news story (obviously some outlets have better AI assisted writing :P )
I'm keeping an eye on the gov't websites because if these changes take effect June 1st like they say that gives them 3 days to publish the actual rules/changes somewhere, rather than just come out with this "fluff" news that the "thai cabinet approved blah-blah-blah".
I just didn't want the members to think that we weren't aware of it.
We have been declining posts since the different websites started posting the info. Thanx one and all who tried to post it, this is all we're putting out there.
I'm sure more news will follow.
TLDR : Answer Summary
