What you give is what you get...

Not a man of many words, is he. His wiki entry says he only speaks one language, Central Thai. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawit_Wongsuwon

Srettha seems extremely well connected chinawise. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srettha_Thavisin

Meanwhile it has been reported Pita flew to Washington to ask Jo Biden for assistance in ridding Thailand of the feudal barons who run it. The leader of Pheu Thai flew to Moscow to ask Putin to help in funding a coup. And the leader of Thaibumboys flew to Never Never Land to meet with Peter Pan. No reason given.

Yes, if you recall the incredible scene where Hopkins cuts off the top of the agent's head and slices off some choice cuts of his brain and drops them into the frying pan, in front of Agent Starling. You might be next! ????????????????????????

Seems like more garbage from Thai amateur media. Can't find any reference to any meetings on Naewna or Manager online. Maybe it's in the online gambling section or kiddie games section. They seem to operate alongside the "news".

Livers, surely?

I've come unstuck I think in ordering a Mi TV box. Quite a pointless piece of equipment. It doesn't have a browser. I'm returning it. Next step seems to be to find someone who does IPTV installation in Pattaya. I'm getting nowhere.

In that case, lock him up if he ever returns. Same as Duterte in Philippines.

No. Please enlighten us.

There's no evidence of any deals between anybody. Nobody writing this copy is able to produce anything to back up their claims. I've emailed 3 sources. Nothing. Thanathorn has been asked to account for the widespread reports in all the Thai media regarding an apparent visit he made to Hong Kong. Nothing. Everything is hearsay. If Thaksin comes back, then I guess we'll find out soon enough. If the CC meets on 3rd August to consider Pita's second nomination, ditto. If Pita appears before the CC on 3rd, to answer charges regarding share ownership, ditto. Of course, for many politicians, this is all immaterial. MFP has already been written off, so it's no longer part of the plan. That's entirely to be laid at the door of the truly nauseating Pheu Thai party. Pheu Kong Kray? Friends of whom? However, if the CC rule that Pita was wrongly denied a second vote, then back off bxx boys brigade. He presumably will claim a second vote, this delaying things even further, but why not, I ask, although he seems to have pretty much thrown in the towel. It's a very sad reflection on Thai society that a young guy who had honest and decent intentions to enter Thai politics, has ended up on the wrong end of several lawsuits that could see him banged up for a lengthy period of time, banned from politics, etc etc. His name and reputation ruined. Gross!

I'm not sure. Didn't Anutin stipulate he would have nothing to do with any party that supported the proposed 112 amendments? Truth to tell, I don't really give a ff any more. It's just a bunch of clowns in a 3 ring circus.

Talking of BS and fake news being spread around, Thanathorn has been challenged over reports he flew to Hong Kong to meet Tony. Several senior MFP MPs have demanded to know the details, if they exist. I wrote to a couple of editors asking where they got their information from, but got no replies. I remain sceptical of all media reports on all election issues. Who knows who's writing the copy, feeding the material?

We know the way out. PT joins MFP in opposition. But they probably won't. They want to be top dogs and form a government. Pathetic.

Thaksin. It's the name he uses on social media. Tony Woodsome.

Then the senate will reject it.

Yes, it's gaining traction because they're all copying each others copy. I will ask the papers concerned for evidence.

Bumjaithai won't join a coalition with MFP. They're too ignorant to differentiate between some harmless and widely supported amendments to 112, and an all out toppling of the government.

As usual, no real evidence of a meeting and certainly no evidence of what might have transpired had there been one. On the stock exchanges, this would be dealt with under the heading "Share price manipulation". File under garbage. Until somebody can come up with a definitive record of the meeting, then it's just idle chat. Scoop hunting.

Is this about Waksin Shinawat? Forget Bill Gates! Pheu Kray?

Any overspill, they'd be welcome in amongst the Koh Chang archipelago. Smaller islands, tiny police force, no immigration office except on the mainland.. Quick exit to ex Russian colony, Cambodia. What's not to like?

How many Thais have a mortgage? (I have no idea). I know several who have borrowed from the bank and defaulted. They just pack their bags and move on.

I also can't quite figure out how a convicted felon like Tony can be associated in any way with the 2nd biggest party. Surely there are electoral laws? Does he donate? He definitely advises. Look what they did to Thanatorn and Future Forward. Totally destroyed them. But, Thanathorn is back, and very good luck to him. Good guy in my book.

It's not fit for purpose. In practice it doesn't work. It's supposed to be non partisan. So how is it many Senators an come out with statements like "I won't vote for any candidate associated with MFP"? They should be admonished by the Senate president. Any repeat offense and they're kicked out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_of_Thailand

Ask him now. This delay could cost billions. And has made Thailand a laughing stock.
