  1. "total damage from corruption amounted to over 450 billion baht, or equivalent to 60% of total sum used for the rice-pledging scheme."

    I'm no fan of the scheme and am sure there was a lot of corruption, but surely not 60%. That's insane, no one could be stupid enough to think they could get away with that level of criminality.

    This is Thailand - of course they are stupid enough to think they can get away with it. After all, who's going to snitch when they all have their snouts in the trough ...?

  2. This society will do anything for money, Knowing that they will never be charged as criminals. All law enforcement can be bought!

    Which is why it will always be a second rate country, if not verging on third-world.

    Thailand IS third world no matter what the veneer is you see, of iPhones, iPads and other electronic gee-gaws.

    At the end of the day, it is a country with zero education, where the population still believe in ghosts and other superstitious nonsense, and where money rules.

  3. Scamper, old son, they didn't clear an Army BARRACKS, they cleared a small Army POST - not at all the same thing. There IS a large barracks just around the corner from the NACC, about a mile from my house. I suspect the original soldiers came from there, but can't be sure.

    Also Dr Bruce, where is your evidence that the monk has 'attacked and tortured' anyone at all, or even expects to?? Loose hyperbole like that just makes a mockery of your post.

    Personally I think it's great that the NACC is now guarded by others than the red-shirt thugs. Let's just hope the UDD thugs don't come back in force ...

    In other words, this quote is one of anti-democracy and pro-coup....The pro-coup forces are the righteous ones, and pro-democracy are the 'forces of evil'.

    I am pro-Democracy and proud of it. In favour of electoral and Parliamentary traditions.

    Very good that you are pro democracy. That means you are against PTP and the antidemocratic government. Right?
