Thaksin’s imminent return stirs hope, anxiety in Thailand
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have a feeling Thaksin is hoping that Seretta will lose the vote and then they can make a deal with the senators and military to put Paetong in as PM the following week. Problem with that is that anyone that the Senate backs at this stage will be seen as a military puppet but the MFP and a lot of PT supporters. Frankly Mr T coming home is the wrong move for his party. The mililtary supporters that wear Yellow will not be happy. MFP supporters will still be in the streets. The PT has only 2 outcomes that saves them. 1. BJT joins the 8 coalition parties including MFP 2. PT goes through the motions staying with the coalition and not making any deals other than saying they will not touch 112 gets defeated in 2 votes and says ok you want it you got it Anutin becomes PM and gets nothing passed. All it takes is a budget defeat and no confidence is on the table. There is no way the government gets anything done except for Marijuana laws. The budget will be a disaster. In the UK/Canada or Aus the automatic action to all his would be to sit down with either the queen or the Queen's rep to resolve it. (Canada 2008 is close to what we are going through here) Not that she or now he can mandate anything but they can discuss and negotiate/RESOLVE ISSUES. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008–2009_Canadian_parliamentary_dispute -
Considering this is not just a view point but a naval station I have a huge problem with this. I am sure that the people that work there if they saw guns would be on the phone to Pattaya police. Naval persons there I am sure would be on the phone to military police. 3rd the only paper covering it is this one? Next question that others have raised is how do they know what nationality any of these people are if they have not been arrested? I just see so much wrong in this. 1 Guy 1 gun and he can take so many people hostage for nothing? Even if it was a group what was the purpose?

New Thai PM could be elected on August 4, but…
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yeah what's happening is easy. The military and elite are using their insurance package to make sure they stay in power Thaksin is walking a tightrope and I am not sure he will be back on date set. First if the military is in charge he stands the risk of going to jail. Also if the military is backed by PT he will be branded a liar an traitor for promises and statements about not joining the military parties. The best thing he can do is let the military take the pm position and the coalition become the loyal opposition -
Considering that Thai schools are mandatory pass I am having difficulty with the story. I think horny Thai man gets befriended or befriends young student who sees the benefits of having a working bf and wants love. Find out they are not the only ones. Just like mama and mia noi Thai schools would rather get rid of or ignore problems.

Agreed and you can buy a film like they use on cars for the glass will also my a big difference

MFP has too many seats to not be accounted. Any deal with the military backed will mean the death of PT and in some places the end of thaksin s authority. The pardoning of thaksin would be almost as stupid. It will show how in effective the courts are if you are rich It will show that for all thaksin huffing and puffing he is just like the military regime. Nothing that PT is going to do is for the betterment of the country There are going to be some interesting protests. Yellow shirts that oppose thaksin and the orange. First vote sretha defeated. Next vote paetong wins.

Thai wife being bullied by family
kingstonkid replied to thefarangteacher's topic in Marriage and Divorce
First gf family tried it found out quickly through grandma notnot to try. Current gf keeps me separate from family she hasn't even told them she has a house that she bought As far as they are concerned her son knows but that is it. I have helped a couple of times but she tells them lazada is going good. The best thing is to move away and limit line access to a sensible member of family Besides that block -

Thai wife being bullied by family
kingstonkid replied to thefarangteacher's topic in Marriage and Divorce
I find that words are just that. I had many francophone friends in the military. None got confused or upset if I called them frogs. However using it in a sentence with derogatory meaning was a different setting. Personally Ich bin Farang. I have no problem with being referred as that. -
Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai Convene for Meeting of Core Party Members
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Principle may not but power and logistics will. Thaksin only has power and safety as long as pt or a party of his still has legitimate political being. Playing with the military right now would diminish that power and his safety. He needs to come into the country as a hero not like a theif in the night -

Most of the businesses and schools ignore them. Many businesses will be open and schools in pathum thani are doing online classes. It is not so much the extra holiday but the last minute bs -

kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The man in Dubai is probably the smartest of the bunch. There's no way he will let PT join with the military. His coming back if everyone is happy is one thing if the PT becomes the most reviled there is no way back. Even some of his ex supporters would want to lynch him -
