There may be a coup but that will only cause more protest as most people are fed up with the military. If this falls apart then better to throw out the election and redo it after fully reviewing all potential PM before the election.

But thaksin really really wants to come home

I don't have a rental contract to include but take gf with me as I am living with her. Usually because I have been here so long they don't ask. PT imm

This has to be the STUPIDEST MOVE anyone could make. He wants to be PM He wnts to change the way things are done. He wants Prayut appointed Senators to ote for him. Then he starts the same old song and dance that Thaksin, the Dem Party, Prayut and the military have been dong for centuries. Timne for a new election and a new nominee this guy is just as bad as the previous generations and has learned nothing.

I think with the hype, press and the number of charges, she will get the death penalty. Whether the powers that be allow it will be another thing. Also, the bleeding heart society has had nothing to cry about Thailand so maybe it is due.

Considering that the PT has Phaetong out of the country. There is a lot of talk and denial. I think that this is probably going to be a discussion. The problem is, who else do they get to join them? PPRP or UTN have to be non-starters unless Thaksin wants to kill the PT. The challenge is oign to be will the Senate agree to another Thaksin in power? Will the people allow anyone other than MFP? Do the PT leaders want to kill their party?

not sure if this will help https://www.austchamthailand.com/how-to-open-a-thai-bank-account-the-ultimate-guide-for-expats/#:~:text=You can open a bank,(more on this soon). I know 12 years ago I had to go bank to bank finally had GF go with me and we got one in a mall kasikorn but BB and others had said no.

Each of us are different there are some of us old guys that do not get it up as much as we did. It all depends on the lady and what she is looking for Most are looking for someone that will care for them and look after them. I am close 67 with 50 and what she wants is someone to talk to and cuddle with at night. The younger ones still have a sex drive but after dealing with the 30-second wonders are looking for a man that can satisfy them My suggestion is to try the dating sites the one advertised here is not bad and go on a few dates and see what happens. you might also look at some of the over-40 as some of them are a little more available. Remember that a 40-year-old probably has a JOB and life requirements that will get in the way of you enjoying your time. Also younger ladies are still looking for that house.

Unless PT comes to his defence and that of MFP, another election will surprise a lot for teh old guard inlcuding MR T. The people spoke and they spoke fairly loudly. Any attempt to remove or nullify this election will look bad on the military and the old guard as people will see their fear. The same goes for the senate. In all honesty, I think that the nullification will be a blessing for MFP or whatever the name of the new party is as it will probably end in them getting the mandate that PT thought they would get. This would pave the way for changes to Lese Majeste laws. more breweries, cannabis returned to its old status and the military losing a lot of its power and support as well as finances. Not a good move but hey what do we know.

I think it is more that they are Chinese and if they get out they are GONE

This almost sounds like politcal crapola. The one thing that I find interesting is the failure to complete the paperwork for foreigner staying at the residence. I thought this was all on the computer. It must be mom-and-pop shops that have a room and have been sliding under the radar. The one thing that amazes me is how much the defamation laws affect what happens and what is said.

I may be wrong but am willing to bet that a lot of business is done this way in china

The simple answer is that he could careless about Thailand this is all about him. The interesting part is he is waiting for his daughter to tell him when he an come home. I think the only way that works is if she is in power . Although I can see a deal based on lese majeste. Also how does grandpa look after kids if he is in prison.

The challenge here was that I think they did everything but have a Thai lawyer of their choosing look at the papers as they were good forgeries.

The challenge is that people have for a long time followed what they are told. In this country working is important and if they are going to lose their job they cave as there is no other means. She still is a very beautiful lady, As to beauty queen I think in Thailand it is in fact an overused term that is used to just describe beautiful girls that work because of their beauty but do not do the party scene. Beauty queen is closer I think to model. As to Handsum man you could be 300 lbs dress in a chang shirt and wear shorts that show your butt crack but if you have money then you will always be handsum. It just means that you are available and might be a good fit for a husband or sugar daddy.

If you take a look at the rest of the world I think you can see the same thing. Most people today are living day to day and looking for government assistance to keep them. There is no courses or classes in money taught in schools and that is the shame.

Mine likes tuna spring water and it is cheaper than cat food By some cat treats the get him into solid Besides neutering also get him fully vaxed including against feline flu The bigger issue is sandbox.

LOL you just have to go to ASOKE when there is a heavy rain but take your hip waders. I hae no dougbt wotj tje way things are managed in Bangkok that it will end up submerged. The city learnt nothing form the flood that we had a few years ago. They needed to raise the walls on the canals and set up a dredging schedule. The amount of junk that is in those canals along with the mud is going to be an issue.

If the PPRP and military sabotage the past election I think it will be the end of all military control as well as it will hurt the PT. BJT will survive as it has it's own area and money pit. MFP or the new party will exceed everything. The only worry is that that present government waits so that it can install the new SENATE.

Just went through a repossession of a property that the ex GF vacated.. It took abut 3 years during that time if I had wanted to and was able to pay the hydro and water bill as well as condo fees there would not have been a problem. When the new owner wanted to get into the property the neighbors told him to come see me as I had all the keys. They had not even changed the lock on the door. As to being stolen by the bank considering the paperwork that I saw and the amount of info that was served by hand there was in fact ample warning and chance to go to court and argue it or hire a lawyer. I think as the Thai community gets older and people are forced to retire we are going to see more and more of these situations.

These people were already breaking the law. The difference is that it was done quietly and just like prostituon, no one cared. Police are more interested in extasy and yaba

But again there is no law against buying a 2000 baht coffee at the coffee shop and going for a walk. The catch is that sex has to be in the equation and money changing hands for sex.

Thaksin is the unofficial leader in that it was his money that created the party. It was his face that rallied the faithful. It would not surprise me that this deal is discussed and that paetong is out of the country to protect her. While the deal in the short term will give them a win it will be the end of the party as a powerhouse for democracy because it is joining with military parties.

There is to a ceretain extent inequality. The best example of this was the U.S. during the Vietnam war. Kids with parents that had money either got into a university or found medical issues that the family doctor for a brown envelope would diagnose. In Thailand lets face it there are those that are conscripted and those that ARE CONSCRIPTED. I am sure you do not see soldiers that have money doing a lot of the GRUNT STUFF. They are probably the ones washing cars. What the Thai military has to do is get rid of conscription and concentrate on developing not only soldiers but tradesmen and women.

12 years and have seen lock changes quite regularly especially with foreign tenants. No one has evicted his friend neighbor significant other. They are just stopping him form getting his stuff and access to a room he has not paid for.
