Politics are not for any other kind of soldiers, generals or not, what's for them are their barracks and parade grounds, and that's where they should stay. They don't have the brains for politics, we have seen that time and time again.

Brown envelopes keep piling up, and as long as they do, this unelected government will just keep it going, and don't forget, the students are waiting to start their protests again too.

I have been with my wife for 15 years, the first five as my GF, and even today if I am preparing food for myself in the kitchen and she comes in, the first thing she always says to me is "you want I help" then takes over.

Well the unelected PM is a politician by definition then? ????

So the unelected PM is a politician???? I would say that he is a soldier and nothing else. If I wanted to be a lawyer and run my own lawyers firm, then walked into a lawyers office heading a gang of guys with access to guns and forced the lawyers and their staff out and took their place, does that make me a lawyer?

Since when was the unelected soldier posing as a PM ever a politician? He is a soldier with a soldiers mentality, nothing more, only trying to rule the country after taking it at the point of a gun.

The soldiers government need to keep certain restrictions so they will keep getting the brown envelopes from hotels, hospitals and pharmacies.

They just don't want this pandemic/endemic to stop as that would mean no brown envelopes from hotels, hospitals and pharmacies, and not forgetting all the student protests that will start up again.

I believe you, but my ex wife in the UK was a drunk, and even her own family would have stuck up for me if everything was not settled out of court.

"and later take the balance upon divorce". My wife back in the UK tried to but never succeeded. In selling the house, she got £500, I got the house, thousands of £s which I used to put down in a much larger one, the car, and all the belongings, I worked, she did not, apart from the very odd part time job. This was over 12 years, but there were no children.

From what I have seen and heard of, in a lot of cases, where there is a wide gap in the age difference, the Thai women are mostly with the well off, overweight, much older farang guy for financial reasons, and will get from a younger Thai guy what she can't get from her farang husband.

True, but as one poster has already said, it is a cash cow for this unelected soldier posing as a PM and the rest of the Junta.

I was really referring to those with self inflicted illnesses, I should have said so.

You mean like heavy drinkers, heavy smokers and obesity.

Exactly! That's why he took the country at gunpoint, backed by the rest of his generals and other soldiers. If the Thai people tried to take any action to stop this guy at the time, it would have been a massacre of the ordinary Thai people, so that alone makes him a potential murderer. If anyone disagrees with me, please tell us what would have happened if a big contingent of Thai people tried forcibly to stop him and his army taking control of the country.

Very stupid super rich?? Except for maybe these who are born into money.

"This shows just how STUPID people working to enhance Thailand are." Thailand does not have a very low IQ for no reason. the soldier government is one example.

Yes! And don't forget the soldiers who are posing as a government as well.

Nonsense, you will get the proper information from the likes of DrJack54 and UbonJoe, not like IOs where different offices will give you different answers.

Yes, if you are that rich you can afford to just give away millions of Baht.

Yes, there are plenty of unelected ones filling their pockets with money in brown envelopes from hospitals, pharmacies and insurance companies.

I don't suppose there will be any TJ Hooker style of police academies getting built to get the police fit enough to chase, catch and arrest these bad guys.

"SWAT team members were put through their paces to show the assembled press how a modern force deal with the bad guys." Well I suppose it is fair to say that the guys who are manning these vehicles will not be one of the many policemen who are members of the fat belly brigade who spend all their time in air conditioned offices playing with their phones.

The best place for clowns is in a circus, as Thailand seems not to have any circuses, he could do us all a favour and just emigrate to a country which does have a one. Then again one could say that Thailand is one big circus that is ruled by clowns and demented midgets.

"10 of thousands of tourists are coming to thailand now with no issues". Really! So they are all finding it easy with no issues??
