He won’t be going anywhere if the army wants him to stay otherwise it’s likely another General or one of his current goons will be stepping in to replace him.
Pretty sure the next occupant of the office of PM won’t be the result of a free and fair election.-

I agree. It’s just that, here, they don’t try to hide it.

Should the police be on the lookout for transgressions and doing something to enforce traffic laws?
Should their supposed masters - the politicians - be doing more to ensure the RTP enforce the law?
Do the politicians even care?
1. That would mean having to do something
2. Yes
3. No

I was under the impression from the few times I used the trains in Thailand that they often broke down, were late and substandard.
I love them. Been using them for 40 years. Sure they almost always arrive late but when you aren’t in a hurry that’s no bother. I’ve gone Chiang Mai to Singapore a number of times and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Maybe I’m just a train person-

Only if the same electoral format is maintained. I really don’t think he has a big following with the general population but I’m sure he could find a way to worm his way in.
God help us!!-

'We used to pay 500 baht per ticket and I think at some point it went to 800 baht per ticket. It is yet another tourist rip off adding another 300 baht to total now 11,00 baht. No one believes they are going to receive 500,000 baht coverage at a first-class hospital if you're injured. This is a money grab, plain and simple, by someone in government who thinks he can get away with it.' - a BP reader's letter. LOS = Land of Scams.
500.000 medical coverage for what calculates to a 34 Baht premium payment (11.3% of 300) will surely mean it will not happen as one might expect. I’m sure many will fall foul of this scheme when it comes time to collect

Are they offering SAL to overseas yet? It ceased when Covid struck. Just wondering if anyone has used it recently.

Further evidence that they really don’t have a clue and another fine example of government incompetence. Brain dead oxygen thieves groping around in the dark hoping they’ll stumble onto a good idea.
I just hope it’s not used to adopt an increased pre pandemic hotel pricing policy which I believe is where it’s headed. They could declare every hotel a national park to justify their decision.
For a country that relies heavily on tourism they are truly going out of their way to bring it to its knees.-

General Prayut Chan ocha (left), in third place with only 11.68%,
An obvious mandate for another stint in the top job. He could win with 5% of the vote the way the current system is set. Mr P is not about to panic just yet. The courts will do all the dirty work for him to eliminate any serious contenders.
We will go through the charades of an election and nothing will change despite his unpopularity. The military will be responsible for any future leader choice not the voters but they’ve got to feel like they were given a chance to be part of the selection process.

I think it’s a step in the right direction. Won’t please everyone but definitely better than the 30 days currently on offer.

Not always. They do manage to put it on the sister or injured son at times. But brother is certainly the “go to” excuse more often than not.
