Too many quote issue again.

I doubt if anyone living in a red village would give a bad review.

Im sure there is, but I think if they do they will feel the "Red wrath"

That was the basis of my post. Spot on.

I showed this video to my partner, she did not find it offensive

so my village did not find him disgusting as others might, they just found it a good laugh.

So now it's gone from your partner to your village. Just how many people did you show this video to?

Is this something you commonly do?

.

I doubt if anyone living in a red village would give a bad review.

The PM should quit to show her responsibility.

Else it could tarnish Thailand reputation.

Could?

I have a solution. Why don't they make all the other areas that aren't redshirt areas Yellow shirt areas that should keep the farangs happy. No wait that won't work either because the farangs will complain there are more redshirts and they have more area. Maybe just accept that you have freely come to a country that is prodominantly redshirt and has an elected government which you do not like. Apply for citizenship and at the next election have your say and vote for whom you think is best and accept the decision of the majority.

"a country that is prodominantly redshirt" is that your opinion or a fact? Population of Thailand = 70 million. 51% of 70 million = 35.7 million. Link please showing proof there are 35.7 million red shirts in Thailand or it remains only your dream or opinion. To quote Sargent Friday "just the facts Ma'am".

It's a shame that this is a wasted opportunity. In a more positive light, the red shirts can be viewed as one of the largest organized "volunteer" groups in Thailand; if they can mobilize 100K people to march into Bangkok and risk life and limb for democracy, surely there is no nobler cause than to help out fellow Thais in times of need? This is a resource that PM Yingluck has failed to utilize and instead we have Jatuporn opening a new village/district and just getting a few red shirts to do token volunteer work.

Pretty sure Jatuporn has already been involved with a couple of flood charity events... and many red shirts are doing their bit, of course: http://asiancorrespo...-a-photo-essay/ - just as much as any other ordinary Thai citizens are.

Thanks Emptyset. I guess I was expecting a lot more from the redshirts than the average ordinary Thai citizen given that they have an existing structure in place to quickly disseminate information and mobilize tens of thousands of people, but they chose not to do so. The irony now is that I see a lot of soldiers helping civilians (I'm sure there are quite a number of red shirt supporters in there too) in flood stricken areas and I don't see any of the red shirt leaders at least saying thank you (or maybe it would be too much to ask of them?)

and I don't see any of the yellow shirt leaders at least saying thank you (or maybe it would be too much to ask of them)

What I see is red and yellow shirts working together for a common cause but I guess to some hi so farangs on here just can't ever see reds doing anything right. (that just absolutely disgusts me) I haven't seen to many farangs out there helping out either,

And your contributiuon was..................................? Please keep it down to ten thousand words or less.

Always hilarious to read forum red 'oh so reasonable' apologetics for a policy led and promoted by Jatuporn. Shameless or what?

And also hillarious to read how many on here think that having a red shirt district is going to create a Nazi Thailand or a Pol Pot regime. They seem so worried that farangs are going to be rounded up and moved to camps or be part of the new Killing Fields. The End is NOT NIGH.

It is not me that I am concerned about. I can easily relocate to another country. It is my long time Thai friends and my wife's family that are not falling for the red garbage I am concerned about. Case in point. A couple of months ago a red supporter stabbed and kill his long time friend simply because his friend did not support the Yingluck government. There is nothing hillarious about this.

Give this new Redshirt district a few months and they'll be complaining the govt is not treating them fairly, not providing the same support as to other districts, etc. Wonder what warlord will rule this district?

My guess would be the idiot Esaan Rambo. IQ = room temp C.

Nothing prevents any of you nervous nellies from being prepared. Instead of expecting the government to take care of you, work on the basis that you will be on your own for a long time. How many of you have emergency supplies. or a contingency plan, or have even discussed what to do with your family? How many of you have taken a basic first aid or survival course? These are not things that the government can do for you. Even the emergency preparedness websites of western governments say the same thing as I just wrote. Do any of you have a meeting point or thought about how to contact your family members when the cell phones crash?

An emergency response starts with people taking responsibility for themselves and preparing. A great part of an effective emergency response relies on people behaving responsibly. I would expect many foreigners to run about in panic demanding that their national governments come and rescue them. Won't happen for days if it does. Have you registered with your embassies so that your governments know where to even find you?

It appears you are so well prepared....so if you would be so kind as to publish your ERP on TV and the nervous nellies can use your ERP as a template to develop their own, think of it as a as being a good TV citizen

Just in case GK is remiss in his responsibilities to advise all the nervour nellies, below is my action plan (ERP) in case of an extended natural emergency. Feel free to copy or modify as required.

1. Power generator to run fridge, lights and tv with 100 liters of gas.

2. Enough bamboo to construct a temporary shelter.

3. Thirty cases of LEO.

4. Ten cases of water (for the wife).

5. Three cases of my friend Jack Daniels.

6. Ten cases of Mama noodles.

7. Five cases of toilet tissue (for me not the wife)

8. One case of soap.

You can replace the LEO with wodka, than you don't need the fridge, than you can safe the generator and the gasoline.

Only problem is that the wife can't see the soap operas in TV

No generator = no tv. No tv = no soap operas. No soap operas = no wife.

"Zero Songkran Holiday Death" campaign. All my years here in Thailand and I never realized that 320 = 0. Never too old to learn.

Now I'm ashamed to be pro pheu thai.

Glad to see you are finally waking up to these PTP misfits.

This MP, who was even less attendant to issues in Parliament than Nutt, can't keep his mouth shut.

I wonder what punishment Police Sargeant-Major/Red Shirt Leader/Pheu Thai Party MP Prasit would argue for him.

I can't read the ID card. Who is this shining example for all other MPs?

Here's another that is identifiable, especially to "Nutt should hang himself" Red Shirt Leader Prasit.

It's the role model House Speaker and his fellow Pheu Thai MP Somsak Kiatsuranon.

.

I do hope these photos of the sleeping PTP MPs never make it to the international news media. Heaven forbid. In the words of the most esteemed Puea Thai spokesman Promphong Noppairt it would "bring shame on the Thai Parliament".

About time. Dismantle them, recycle the building materials and restore the protected lands.

How about Alpine Golf Resort? We can't have double standards remember.

It's not encroaching on a national park.

Correct. It was only monastic land that could not be bought or sold. But who cares about the rule of law.

In our village, motels in the countryside are considered resorts. Many of them are short time bungalows and very little else.

There's a "love motel" down the road from my place with two small one room structures. The sign out front reads "Heavenly Resort".

Edit> Maximum number of quote issue again.

He must be a Buddhist then. Do reincarnated people remember their previous lives?

I just asked my wife, for whatever that's worth. According to her only one person in one million ever remember their previous life.

You'll pardon me if I don't use her as a source.

You have my blessings.

PTP scramble up the hill to claim the 'moral-high-ground', so fast it makes their ears pop.

Sadly for them, it takes more than some nude photos to make most people forget the real crimes that are being committed in those same parliament buildings.

what crimes?

Yingluk taking money under false pretences?

Yingluck committing perjury?

Perjury: the willful giving of false testimony under oath or affirmation

In a Christian context, I can only say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Well that is not just a christian context, it is in any context.

This is an unbelievable case of pot calling kettle black. If this guy has to resign, Chalerm should be well down the road. These guys just don't know when to keep their mouths shut and crack on.

This MP, who was even less attendant to issues in Parliament than Nutt, can't keep his mouth shut.

I wonder what punishment Police Sargeant-Major/Red Shirt Leader/Pheu Thai Party MP Pasit would argue for him.

The more appropriate saying is that "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones"

The Democrats are getting a taste of what they have been dishing out since they lost the last election. Seems to me that the Demos brought this on themselves.

Frankly, I do not care. It is unfortunate that there is no opposition party in Thailand without some semblance of integrity and decency. If there was, the PTP would be history.

Compared to the beaming and shining light of who in the PTP that is most honorable person and an example for the whole of humanity to strive to become?

An interesting situation, look at it this way. A used car dealer sells me a car on credit, the police seize the car from me as it was (unknown to me) stolen. Do I still have to continue paying the car dealer?

Yes, situations like this have actually happened but more than likely you would have to pay the bank which financed the deal.

Sure banks never lose, their attitude would be we lent you the money in good faith, what you did with it is not our concern.

Now the thing is, until the police seized the car, I had an asset (the car) and a debit (the loan), which were roughly equal (discounting interest), repossession was possible if I defaulted..

So until the police intervened was I in debt, I think technically a credit arrangement is a liability rather than a debt, as long as you maintain payments you are not a candidate for bankruptcy proceeding.

Now if we accept that a politician is not automatically a legal expert, might she not have been genuinely confused as to her financial status?

Incidentally, reference your later post regarding Calgary, I believe he has been banned.

I believe he has been reincarnated.

Pheu Thai MP Prasit Chaisrisa said Nutt should hang himself to escape the shame he has brought on Parliament and the Democrat Party.

I wonder what Prasit thinks Chalerm should do to himself. Hypocrisy in the highest order.

He would have been a real star on the "Gong Show".
