If it could destroy all the giant billboards and advertising screens flashing commercials all day long on all Bangkok main roads, that would be appreciated.

How cute.

Cool, hopefully after this it will be over.

Cops and rapists, they will certainly be very successful in prison.

Next step: robbing a street stand with an RPG.

And they subtitled the second guy with a poshy-brit-wannabe accent... great sense of humour Vice.

You never know, in France we've seen lot of suicides, particularly among politicians, where the guy ended his own life with two bullets in the head or drawning himself in 30 centimeters of water.

French suiciders are great performers, it's a tradition.

This trial is going to cost him an arm.

Didn't even know they were still alive.

Only 200 "sting" operations to go to get a kilo.

Bust of the year.

And it will be powered by perpetual motion generators.

I want this shirt.

For expats the cost of living has known a noticeable raise of about 15% per liter.

I found myself arriving into a protest site with my bike the other day, didn't have a choice with all the roadblocks, I had to go through it. Indeed there is a carnival atmosphere, people weren't agressive and were wearing large smiles and waving flags at me, it was pretty nice and interesting to be there actually.

Would be a shame to miss it as long as you don't dwell there and actually take part in the protests.

There's no harm taking a look out of curiosity, as long as they behave properly.

Will the Kingdom survive it ?

After reading it, this article is the most interesting opinion I have read yet, though I still I think what's happening now is a denial of democracy.

"Elective dictatorship"... sure you can make a case with such an innovative and original phrase.

Before the oligarchs and nobility didn't have any issue to get Thaksin supporters removed from power for corruption or ineligibility, if Yingluck's governement is so corrupted it shouldn't be that difficult to get her legally removed too then.

Probably they are corrupted, but not less than the other side. Reality is that the "democrat" side deems they are the only ones who are legit holding power in Thailand, regardless of what polls say.

you really think that the general Thai populace actually think any different to her? After being here for a long time, it is blatantly obvious that we are not welcome here, we are tolerated because we pay, we are just as unwelcome as foreigners are in our home countries... You will meet individuals that dont fit the mould certainly, but to Thais as a "collective" we are not welcome but our money is, perpetual paying guests, that is all we are and all we will ever be.

The sooner you accept that fact the better.

Absolutely, I don't think the general Thai populace is xenophobic and mentally besieged (even behind the smile), she just belongs to the share of paranoids all countries have.

Before, when I was a good Christian, whether in Europe or Asia, I tried to understand xenophobic pricks and try to convince them they were finding wrong and easy answers, but now that I am older and not much Christian anymore, I have only one answer for them: blunt despise (even though I try to save my despise, given the number of people in need).

There is no excuse for being that stupid (seriously, her arguments...), especially when you are a university lecturer about to be a PhD. It's pure intellectual lazyness and such dumb hatred is to be ignored.

She forgot to mention the Jews and the Freemasons who are about to take over the country.
