Move Forward Dissolution Bid Part Of Thaksin’s Secret Deal
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree, but the LM charge and Yingluck are all things that the military can hold as their guarantee that there is no dissolution and then a joint agreement with MFP. The challenge that you have in the country is that the country people and the older people still remember the good days when they could count on certain parts of the system or a certain person to come out and help them. There is also the belief in the same quarters (again, 50 years plus) that the military has always come to the rescue of the country when there is a problem. Some people think that Thaksin has been beneficial and that the PTP is the only party that cares about them on their farms or villages. In BKK and larger cities, the elite have lost much of their hold and are desperately trying to regain it. I think that will not happen. -
Move Forward Dissolution Bid Part Of Thaksin’s Secret Deal
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have a hard time believing that this will happen any time soon. Before this can happen, they need to take control of the Senate. Thaksin is playing the same games he always played. The one thing he has not taken into consideration is the military elite, not so secret weapon. COUP. Any change that threatens the current government will be met with art 112 in that the PTP in joining with the MFP have decided that they also want to make the anti-monarchy changes that would be unlawful There fore, they must go, and Thaksin, as the leader, must be charged. Remember that Tony has a Lese Majeste charge hanging over his head right now. -
The party may have a different name but it will be here. As to defending what is happening NO just stating that it is ot the first time and probably will not be the last. Eventually, hopefully, it all gets sorted as the different age groups and philosophy change.

Thailand’s casino odds looking up as House Committee wraps study
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is surprising the things that this government is doing to try to make people happy. The only problem is they are hitting a group of voters big enough to outvote those opposed. The funny thing is that even if they agree on a casino the outcome is going to be decided by the location that is chosen. Consider that if Chang Mai gets it, the north will be happy, but Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket will be up in arms. -
The challenge is that we have to change decades of military rule. Just like most things, this is not going to be easy, as the elite and military have been at it too long. Most of the older people have enjoyed the way it was. They remember that the military and monarchy have always looked after them. Just as it takes the PTP decades and still fighting for recognition it will take the MFP movement a long time. Eventually, they will both become more dominant and will take control, but it is going to be a slow process. Consider the timeline for England and all the wars it took in the country to get where they are.

Lese Majeste is more common thatn we think LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lèse-majesté

The party will still be there either as an independent or under a different name. Remember, this is the same thing they did to Thaksin when he started, and he just kept coming back. Thai rak Thai 1098- 2007 People Power Party 2007-2007 Pheu Thi Party 2007 - present You also have to remember that schools are out, and students only have a little to do. Yes, it is hot out, but that will not stop the protestors. If this passes and is accepted by the courts, I think the water fights will start sooner than expected. Just what the government needs when it is trying to convince people to come to Thailand. protests and unrest leading up to Songkran. The joke of it is that they are not trying to get rid of the article. They are only trying to limit who can charge someone. How many times have we seen the PPP attack dog threaten people? Thaksin is coming up on charges do you really think the PTP wants this hanging over their head when that happens?

Paetongtarn Shinawatra: Thailand’s political sector’s rising star
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A hot looking Thai girl with money LOL The challenge is not her popularity it is going to be that of the circus or clown show call Pheu Thai. -
The whole idea was that the BJT and PPP would enact this and open it up, and people would tank them by voting for their parties. LOL then the truth hit that most people that toke are like the the late great Shel Silverstein They also fund out that those that vote didn't want it legalilzed. This is going to be like Vape and hooka. Yes, they are not lawful, BUT the main businesses already have doctors who will prescribe the correct prescription. A better idea might be to legalize it but register adn license the stores. Any sales not through these stores become illegal and lead to jail time.

Brothel bust: Thai asylum seeker facing seven years behind bars in UK
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry to say it happens under every government and every party. No one wants to change the rules so that Asylkum is decided quickly and the person allowed to appeal after their plane has landed in whatever country they come from and has been returned. Britain sure is taking it up the chute lately with government screw ups. -

You might consider counseling although thais really don't like it. Unless you are with her 24/7 she is still going to do it. Does she have any friends does she go out. What does daughter think.

Cat has serious flu...worth saving?
kingstonkid replied to VinnieK's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Feline flu is not terminal if treated. The fact that you have not taken it for shots or checked out tellse you really should not have a pet or a gf. If you won't look after the cat what would you do with a gf that hot sick -
I would go to https://www.doitbest.com/ or to a registered TOA shop and ask them. Some of the shops might let you try it.
