  1. i would like to live in a country where people respect the law and condemn bullys

    then you better move to america or europe B)

    been there, done that.......

    in ths part of the world my friend, it is almost impossible to find what you want, the most of the thai people that i know don't even know what democracy is so you can imagine the rest :(

  2. i think that Mr. Aek is absolutely right, and i also don't understand the yellows' "Vote no" campaign, what's the point of voting no? to kill democracy? i think that if pollycal situaton continues this way i better start to find another place to live in :(

    So have you found the perfect place to live without turmoil and uphevel let us know we might join you

    I considering two places: Singapore or Mallorca, what do you think?B)

  3. Spending on rural roads and infrastructure is damaging to the nation.



    Swampy, Airport Link, BTS extentions - not so much.

    jaltsc: only need one more than the other guy.

    As one of those who DO NOT live in Bangkok, I can tell you that the lack of spending on rural roads IS damaging the nation. Thailand is not just Bangkok.

    exactly, in the place in which i live the farmers are complainin' all the time about the but state of the roads, Thailand is nnot jst BKK

    The huge margin 233:165 that the Dems lost the last election by mean it is ridiculous that they have been leading the current coalition and it is certainly the reason that the country has huge social divisions.

    The results of by-elections over the last six months and the average poll prediction with PTP only slightly larger than the Dem's is interesting. Maybe more because of negative aspects of PTP and UDD than direct result of Dem's led coalition's success. One thing is certain the 'huge social division' is NOT caused by the Dem's, but existed for generations in Thailand. It's slowly, oh so slowly being addressed. Red-shirts used by UDD leaders to get their own elite back in power hasn't really helped their cause either. Peace, education, investment is needed, no hand-outs, vague promises of 'all rich in six months' :ermm:

    well it seems that the "the averege poll prediction with the PTP only slightly larger than the Dem's" is not so slighttly as the Thai media says, yesterday Channell News Asia report that

    Look forward to your posting the news article and accompanying link.

    i can not meke up a link from a report that the Channel News Asia broadcasted yesterday,sorry :(

    let me say that i don't really care about who is going to be the new PM i just enjoy de ellectoral campains, like in US is so funny, i love it ;)

  6. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has urged former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra not to threaten to mobilize supporters if the Pheu Thai Party wins the election but fails to form the next government.

    He might as well have said its OK if you win the election but we cheat our way back in again. I fail to see how anyone can still support this man. Roll on July and good riddance to him.

    You seem to have the word "election" mixed up with the word "poll":

    The Democrat Party leader has called on former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to refrain from mentioning that he will organize a rally of red-shirt supporters if the Pheu Thai Party wins the poll but fails to lead the next administration.

    You do understand how in a democracy a party can still win a poll but not be the winner of the overall election?

    /edit - just another distortion from the opposition and its supporters, I guess.

    the problem is that the Thai democracy system is full of "PECULIARITIES";)

  7. I think that thailand, a country with a big gay population, needs this law, it seems very fair to me to allow gay couples to have the same rights than hetero couples, and not only fair but necessary but i think that noone will pass such a law in the near future, we must to remember that we are living in an almost puritane society, if they sensor cigarets,alcohol and women's boobs in the films how can we expect that they will allow same-sex marriage???

  8. "but still he dreams of Thailand..."

    Dream on...

    Going by all the extreeme hatred of Thaskin here he must have really done some bad things to all the farangs. Personally he has not effected my life at all and I don't care if he becomes p.m. again. I really don't understand what farangs are so worried about. The election will come and go and life will go on.

    extactly, i agree with you 100%
