Thaksin is not a criminal. He was an elected Prime Minister and moved from power by criminals of the military junta. They should be put in prison, not Thaksin.
Pattaya? No thanks, there are far more interesting places in Thailand. Why should I go to a city with dirty beaches, full of faecalia? All dirty waters of the city end in the sea, without any clearing before.
Thailand's conservative and anti-democratic elite shows again the true face. Democracy is just a nice word for them to lure the international public. In reality they show no respect to the will of people which is strongly against the dictatorshop of the army and the monarchists. I am quite sure there will be protests and problems coming with this behavior. Not respecting the will of 80 percent of the population will end in a disaster.

Thailand voted for freedom and democracy, with big majority. If the ruling junta will not accept the elections, that will mean big problems, until civil war. The patience of Thai normal people has come to an end after 10 years of dictatorship, with financial misery for many Thai people. The ruling elite of monarchists and military proofed nearly 10 years, that the are not able to run the country. Its really time to remove them from power.
Yes, many countries in Europe. Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, etc. When checking in to hotel, you have to fill in a form with your personal details, incl. passport number, car number plate, etc.
I think this approach is much too early. A few years ago the doctors were not able to deal with my sinusitis during 3 months. Back home the doctor gave me the right antibiotic, and the sinusitis was gone in 3 days.
