Just read that. Why that particular Province??? 

Is there a possibility that royal orders carry double meaning i.e. are written in code? We read about "Civil unrest in Phichit", but those in the know get a totally different message?

That would depend on what you thought of your sister.

 

True, but the law in question does not require the insulted party to file a complaint. Anybody can file a complaint on behalf those protected by the law, and the courts deal with the matter from a guilty until proven innocent perspective.

Even more difficult to, umh, remove them by a coup to restore happiness and so forth!

 

Well now, goodness gracious me, how extraordinary!

Was this the master plan all along? The pieces seam to fit: use the green buffoons to take over, change constitution, have direct control over parliament...ding ding ding. Big P must be fuming. I guess we'll have to create a new type of governing system: I call it a Democratic Autocratic Constitutional Monarchy. ????

Difficult to run against an opponent who is protected from criticism. But, Big P's plans have all but washed down the drain. He can't beat the opponent in an election, and even if there is a deadlock, no politician who values his head would nominate anyone other than the opponent to be PM. The REAL telling thing would be if the Thai Raksa Chart party get almost no votes, as people for the first time would be able to publicly but anonymously voice their REAL feelings about a certain family.  Popcorn time...

After reading the article I believe that the headline should actually read:

"Thai official claims that Japan praises Thailand for improvements in road safety - and that includes the police"

Caption: "Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha eats street food during his lunch at Nang Loeng market in Bangkok yesterday."

Street food my ass. Sure, the restaurant was located on a street, but that's as far as the "street"part goes. The fact that his Kung Ob Woonsen is served in a metal pan and not a styrofoam bowl also indicates that its far from "street food". And Kung Ob Woonsen starts at 150 - 200 Baht. So he's looking like he's gobbling down at least 600 Baht for lunch. How very frugal of him ????

However, Bangkok insists that his trial has already commenced and cannot be retracted.

Really? Trials that start can't be retracted? ???? So Person A gets accused of murder and goes to trial - during the trial video footage is released showing Person B commit the crime. The judge says, "Sorry, the trial for Person A can't be retracted because it's already started". Yeah, didn't think so.

Ya know.... the west does this too:

Sad story, but nowhere in that article does it state that the government suddenly changed the regulations that had previously allowed him to stay. He didn't qualify, for whatever reason, at the time of his application and was denied.

Not sure how this has anything to do with the new Thai requirements that have drastically changed over night and now require some people to lock up 400,000 Baht for the entire year.

Very good if the youngsters vote. Even better if they bother to find out which candidate is not totally in junta's pocket - not an easy feat. I too would like to know so I can tell wife who to vote for.

What about letting her decide? ????

I suspect that come voting day thousands of people that thought they had registered will find out they haven't and be turned away. Seriously, I have little faith in a system that fails repeatedly to actually save all information prior tonsuch crashes. ????

The final declaration of the results will clash with some of the associated ceremonies as they have to happen 60 days after the election.

Yes, that's their BS excuse. But 60 days is the latest they can announce results. There's nothing stopping them from announcing the results within a week. In reality, they could have held elections on Feb. 24th and given themselves 30 days to investigate claims of cheating etc. and still not intervere with the coronation.

A simple Google search will reveal a direct quote to the press many months ago stating the post coronation time frame as the ultimate election date. It was planned from the outset. The February date has always been a fabrication.

And simple Google searches will reveal direct qoutes to elections definitely happening in ...2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, no 2019. Why does the coronation date suddenly hold more water for you.

What I do clearly remember thought is a lot of "Thailand 2020" poster flying around right after the coup. Foreshadowing or the plan all along?

The key word is "suitable". I bet the poll question was, "Who is more suitable to be the next PM - Prayuth or the dog shit under the pollster's shoe". Event then he only got 85% of the vote ????

Mao Chandara, the director general of the identification department at Cambodia’s Interior Ministry, said they had not issued a passport to Yingluck. 

 

“We don’t know whether it [the passport] is fake or not,” he told the Phnom Penh Post.

How don't you know? If you didn't issue it, it has to be a fake, right? And you clearly state that you didn't issue it. Oh wait, you're one of those people who try to s*** out their elbows. It all makes sense now. ????

Opec was told that it was part of research but school administrators and teachers, as well as the Education Ministry, need to look deeper into what impacts the down-dressing can create.

I guess this clown doesn't understand what "research" means then: You do a test (wearing casual clothes) and then monitor the outcomes, hence discovering the "impacts", as he put it.

And they will have the guilt of a girls death unless they do the right thing, the world is watching Thailand right now

Guilt? Thailand? ???? Sadly not, I'm afraid.

However, since they have denied their charges, the court will have to hold trials to examine the evidence.

So if you admit guilt to a crime, the courts don't examine the evidence? No wonder it's easy for rich people to get surrogates to plead guilty and serve time for their (he rich people's) crimes. 

As shocking as the driving is, I find myself getting used to it, but I'm always surprised that even I see new levels of total brainlessness. Last Saturday I was driving back from the south on Petchkasem road. It is quite "normal" to see cars driving the wrong way on the hard shoulder, but this time I saw a pickup taking it a step further: A semi was parked on the hard shoulder. The next thing I see is the front left of a pickup creeping out into the left lane (wrong direction). He had no passenger so there was no way for him to have seen what was in the left lane until he was fully in it. So he just drives loke that and everyone has to move aside, I guess.
