education is being taught to believe what you're told...

No, that's indoctrination.

Correct.

in·doc·tri·nate: To imbue with a partisan or ideological point of view: a generation of children who had been indoctrinated against the values of their parents.

Or his camera to take pictures of the 300,000 attendees.

Or to perhaps catch a rerun of this blatant piece of bribery too.

Now where are the "The red shirts were not paid to attend the rallies" guys when you need them? I suppose this video will put an end to that myth. Or knowing the red apologists maybe not.

Br careful now, you are paying low low money to go on a crowded bus, whose driver is paid low low money and stays awake by taking yabba and caffiene tablets. Not a good idea to take your family on there. Chances are at songkhran the driver will be partaking in a little festive spirit as well!

You strike me as being the same as those two misguided foreigners who took to the stage during the Red protests in Bangkok. Are you like they are? Can we expect to see you on the stage in Cambodia, trying to get the smell of Thaksin's undies on your nose? Your wife will be so proud!

Lets hope he dont forget his "foot-clapper"

Or his camera to take pictures of the 300,000 attendees.

The irony of the Red Shirts getting a cold shoulder from the People's Republic of Laos and instead being warmly received by Cambodia, a country ruled by a thinly veiled dictator that came to power through a murderous coup more than 10 years ago is quite staggering. I guess Red Shirts and their misguided supporters are very good at cognitive dissonance.

I traveled through Cambodia just before the last election and talked to as many people as possible about Thai politics and got a resounding consensus of hatred for the Abhisit dictatorship.

Did they feel the same way about the Hun Sen dictatorship?

Don't hold your breath for a response on this one.

Yeah right, like Chumpol Silapa-archa had a gun to his head. He could have said no but he wanted a slice of the action like all the other politicians.

If you want to examine the horse trading involved in any of the Thai coalition governments, you will find coercion, power deals, secret meetings, money exchanges, enticements etc, in them all. I don't condone it, but nor do i pretend it occurs selectively. Wake up if you do.

And I daresay Somchai, if able to speak freely on the matter, would also say a powerful force from which he could not evade was behind his sudden elevation to Premier. Do you really think Somchai ever wanted that job?

As usual coup sympathisers acting dumb. You know quite well what happened, but choose to brush over it. Abhisit's administration was as democratic & valid as a bee hive. They & their fellow perpetrators are single-handedly responsible for the violence & hatred that prevails in the country.

It's been a while since I flew out of Swampy but the last time the check in opened two hours before departure. Has that been revised?

Yes to your question.

AFAIK check in opens at least 3 Hrs before departure.

Yermanee

Many thanks

With that heading I thought for a second that the United Nations peackeeping operations was called in!

Quite unlikely. Let's see now who was it that made the statement "The UN is not my father"?

It was their job to give the chickens steriod shots. Twelve hour shift six days a week. He said they would stop with the shots about 20 days before they were slaughtered in order for the steriods to be undetected. Also he said there would be as high as 10,000 chickens per night die for various reasons.

That is a practice that I have never heard of, nor doe's it make any sense, and incidentally mortality rates are typically around 2% per flock, which would suggest that you relatives were looking after 20 million chickens, sorry but they are telling porkies.

Edit: the number of quotes thing again!

You could be correct and probably are about the number of chickens dying nightly as we all know Thais like to exaggerate numbers. But as for their job responsibilities of giving shots each night and the street vendors part I believe as there is no reason for them to falsify this. And my uncle-in-law will still not eat chicken when he goes to Bangkok.

Well the 10.000 could be the maximum that ever happened...like 5 years ago...

Sorry guys and gals I should have pointed out in my first post that this happened six years ago. They told me this after they had returned to the village.

An anti-Yingluck article if I ever saw one...... A litany of negatives, without a redeeming quality....... I wonder which side of the Political fence this writer is on...... Everything from denying her the resounding electoral victory she crafted, to suggesting there is only turmoil in her Cabinet, even though she deftly handled the recent Cabinet reshuffle, and turfed those who were seeking 2nd. opinions after receiving her direction. Not much point in itemizing all the Ms. Y. denigration this guy can muster, as they are self-evident......... An overiding theme however, as is the case with many of these anti-Ms. Y writers, is to create the impression there is.....well.......turmoil.....when that would not be the case if they, who are actually entitled to Governance, were in rightful power if it just wasn't for those dam_n elections. This epistle to contemptuous condescension of Ms. Y. comes out of a sense of political self-importance and inequality.

Why don't you just meet her in a hotel and have done with your infatuation? You're so predictable and boring of late.

Go a step futher, marry the family, and then your biased baggage of posts will actually be worth reading.

-mel.

He got you MEL1. Just the kind of a response this troll looks for.

"Thaksin is well aware of his sister's problem, so he intends undertaking a big Cabinet reshuffle"

PM YingLuck, if this is permitted, should be struck down and kicked out! This is more that scandaleous and illegal.

Nobody can really take a parrott seriously anyway. We all know that the Thai PM headquarters are in Dubai ...

What is a parrott?

A bird of limited intelligence but the ability to reproduce speech fed to it. Very limited capacity for original ideas, none at all for answering questions in a meaningful manner.

And no capacity for answering questions in Parliament at all.

I wait and see if they will actually follow the rules for export to the EU because Thai are known to be forgetfulness.

I really don't want my family to be sick from eating Thai chicken that isn't conform to the European standards of hygiene.

no one in Thailand gets sick from eating Thai chicken because you make it hot before heating.

But the the Thai production is cruel and uses a lot antibiotics. That is the real bad thing.

My wife's aunt and uncle worked at one of the large chicken farms at Chonburi. It was their job to give the chickens steriod shots. Twelve hour shift six days a week. He said they would stop with the shots about 20 days before they were slaughtered in order for the steriods to be undetected. Also he said there would be as high as 10,000 chickens per night die for various reasons. The street vendors from Bangkok would be waiting to buy the dead chickens for a few Baht. They would take them back and sell at their food stands. When he goes to Bangkok he will not eat chicken. Only the home grown ones from the local village.

Dead chicks are feed to crocs, not human.

Think what you wish to think. These were sold to street vendors. Now they may have fed them to the crocs but I don't really think so.

Didn't she say last year, that the problems in the South will be over by April? Well now she has their response.

I suppose that statement is right up there with "you will all be rich in six months". Now let me see who made that statement........

pimay11 You beat me to it, as I am a slow typer.

You know what they say. Great minds...........

A Bentley, currently selling for up to Bt39 million at the Motor Show, was declared at Bt1.3 million by a "grey market" gang hence was taxed at Bt3.4 million. The gang then sold it for only Bt6 million, he added.

I wonder if it was a pink Bentley?

Yongyuth added that officials have never neglected their duties but too strict measures could affect tourism.

O yes, we can't have too strict a measure, as that will affect the almighty tourism dollar.

Yongyuth further said that there are no reports of insurgency during the Songkran Festival. However, people must tread carefully.

The Songkran Festival has not started yet, how can he make this statement?

My guess he has consulted his fortune teller.

KPI is an independent academic organization under parliamentary supervision.

And parliament is under the guidance (direction) of Thaksin.

How doe's the PT figure having their red shirt militia set up red villages is going to bring reconciliation?

That is not the intent of PT. Although some of the red shirt people really believe they are standing for democracy (which they have no idea what the word means, just ask one) they are only considered useful idiots to the PT.

PT's first and foremost goal is to bring their dear leader back free of all charges and recover his ill-gotten gains pure and simple. Everything else is just window dressing. By not condemning the establishment of these red villages simply proves their agenda. Anyone who doesn't know this is either new to Thailand or totally uninformed or has an IQ equal to room temperature in centigrade.

Cabinet approves Bt1.4 Billion for buying excessive 200,000 tons of pineapples

The Cabinet Monday approved Bt1.4 Billion from the central emergency fund for buying excessive 200,000 tons of pineapples from farmers, a government spokesman said.

http://www.nationmul...v-30179210.html

200,000 tons = 200 million kg

200 million kg @ B4/kg = B800 million

So what's the other B600 million allocated for?

300 New Benz?

The Democrat party is a pain in the ass..instead of helping the country to prosper and live in harmony...they are all out to bring the present government down by hook or by crook to satisfy their own selfish interest..even at the expense of bring thailand down...

Compared to the PTP's goal of helping the country to prosper and live in harmony and not satisfy their own self interest.

The prime minister added that she always answers all of their questions and said that there is a mutual respect between her and the press.

I suppose she considers smiling and walking away in silence is an answer. Lights are on but no one's home comes to mind.

"The Democrat plan focuses only on winning elections but they have not touched on political morality and ethics

As if the PTP even knows the definition of political morality and ethics much less has any. Her party is the epitome of moral decay.
