Bangkok’s election candidates told to collect their campaign posters
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Don't you realize. They are leaving them up for the next election in 6 months. Interesting point in PT is that it is the military parties that still have them up -
Former transport minister crashes yet again in Thailand
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
Not a chance. With or without the little piece of paper he will still drive. They have to either get him a live in driver or remove all vehicles from his access. He is rich old and entitled. -
Denied permission to leave.
kingstonkid replied to Randy99's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think the issue is the length of time set off the this is not a tourist which visa exempt is for. I have never done a border bounce been non o retirement since coming here but have to think that airport is more able to handle and may also advise you to get a real visa and come back -
Bail denied for Polish murder suspect in Bangkok, Thailand
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Considering how stunningly beautiful she is there may be a grain of truth to insane. Why would you ruin such an amazing female specimen. I see him getting life in prison here, The polish/EU government crying and rescuing him after 10 years to take him back to poland. It is shame would realy like to see him in a cell with about 100 ladyboys -
Can Pita Limjaroenrat Become Prime Minister? Three possible scenarios
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not really screwed just mayhave to delay. I think the term for a lot of the military is coming to an end soon. As long as the military is not n control of the house they willnot be able to replace them. As to PT i think Thaksin is in a very precarious place. He can cry all he wants about not winning. BUT ANY GOVERNMENT THAT IS NOT run by the MFP is doomed to be protested and hated. The smartest thing that PT can do is turn off the spigot from Thaksin. Bite the bullet and support the MFP. Anything less is going to be noted by a lot of people next election. IN order for PT to form the government they would have to have the BJT UTN and PPRP support them. The people have stated that they don ot want military rule. PT would have a very short and rocky government even f they could get a person elected. -
Military-backed senators refuse to back MFP form a government
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There's no way thaksin will put his future in anutin hands. There is nothing to stop Anutin becoming pm in a minority government. It would mean a new election with the possibility of a defunct PT and MFp Remember the Senate cares about power money and lese majeste which provides them an others a cover. -

There is a simple solution. A person has to stand up and tell the country that he is happy and remind people that the Thai voters have spoken -

Military-backed senators refuse to back MFP form a government
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Expect the Senate to nominate and vote for anutin then stay away from mbk and siam paragon. This country will explode the military will come in and take over again -

If I was the MFp and pt I would simply call their bluff. Stay the course. That is what the people want the military just want to get there camel nose under the tent. Anutin especially is not the person you want to deal with nor do you want the military dictating what you should and shouldn't do. They want To keep the gravy train Shackle people with lese majeste Keep the country the way -
the baht and SEC are not going to get strong until the circus is finished. The election just answered who is going to sue who and who is going to be reported for being a bad boy or girl. The military and BJT will be looking to delegitimize the election. The letter complaining about attempt to buy votes PT and the fact that there were some issues with stocks of a company that while listed is still not doing anything are going to be interesting

Where Pheu Thai failed and where Move Forward capitalized
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
NO PT needed to be the leader. It had it's winning reputation that it had to keep clean. They can no longer say we have never lost an election that was fair. Thaksin hurt the party. To the faithful, he is next to god. But there are a lot of young people that only know what they have read along with the fact that anytime he has been involved, there has been a Coup. PT had their base in the north and felt that they could ride it. No one until it was too late really thought MFP would sweep Bangkok. Bringing back Thaksin is no longer in the cards. All the promises that they made are gone. They showed with their willingness to form a government with Prawit that they are not the anti-military group that they stated. Will they further show their hand by using the courts to gain favor at the risk of losing even more support? -
I wish just like you trying to read the pot leaves. There are too many stores and pop-ups around that I think they will have to regulate them in some form. Considering that the prevailing winds say it is ok for Medical use if prescribed it makes sense that hospitals be able to supply it. Then again these days you can go to a pharmacy so you may see a few shops that will have auth to sell to people with a legit medical prescription. Then again TIT

Fully agree I do not think Pita will be PM. There are too many knives. MF now has to worry about PT also as I am sure that Thaksin is not going to be happy. This country could be in for a rough ride if the courts do not sit on their hands and let the people will be the decision. MFP wound Bangkok completely imagine if the EC decides to damage MFP. The youth and those supporting them will shut the city down. Also because they are a minority government I would not be surprised in a year if we are not back at the polls because Thaksin figured out what went wrong

LOL you do not watch things, do you. BJT like every other Thai pol party has a local set of voters that in one area will vote for them no matter what. Anutin could do almost anything wrong and screw up the world and still they would vote for him. Pot is still not safe. The only party that felt it should be allowed with no restrictions was the BJT and they are going to have no say. They have already said he will never be allowed near the Health ministry. There will be changes to the availability and also possibly to the penalties but I would not say that the status quo is safe. I look for a lot of stores to shut down and a heavily regulated industry to be established. I think CBD and pot will be regulated by the hospitals.

Move Forward Scores Surprise Victory; Pita To Become PM
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Papers will be filed today to remove the MFP and invalidate the election I am ssure. If the courts are smart they will let the will of the people stand and stay out of it. Then again TIT -
Thailand’s experiment with weed goes up in smoke
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It is going to be interesting to see what happens right now I would not be looking to open a weed store Nor would I be ordering a huge supply. -
Move Forward Scores Surprise Victory; Pita To Become PM
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
YOu obviously must not see what such a plan does. Look at how divided the U.S. is with all the petty crap. In politics, you fight the fight for power. When you win you are generous to the preceding party and consider they did their best. Now is not the time to look back but to look forward. Pita or who ever is going to be PM is going to need to unite the country in order to get support for the things they want to accomplish. The backroom boys will be very upset. -
Not sure about BKK but if you don't mind a BTS trip, I would suggest ZEER Rangsit is the perfect spot to get your laptop repaired. It is the same setup as Pantip used to be many shops and many technicians.
