But TVF posters say they have seen it in entirety. Do you believe Thais can't do the same?

Most TVF posters claim they are married to a hiso millionaire - I wouldn`t listen to too much you read on here champ.

So as I thought, it wasn`t broadcast in Thailand and only a handful of people even knew about it..... Until this absolute halfwit opened his mouth.

Everything he does has the exact opposite effect of what he wants it to.

Many complaints?

The full interview wasn`t even shown in Thailand (correct me if I`m wrong?)

For all his "why should I talk to him" talk, you can see Thaksin scares the living shit out of Prayuth and his paymasters. Frustrating the working people of this country couldn`t find a better chamption of their position however!

As much as I dislike the man you have to admire the way he plays everything like a game of chess and seems to come off top every time.

He knows 112, LM and the institutions which hold up the patronage system are into their final months. As he was doing 15 years ago, he`s planning for events years ahead not now. Always ahead of the game.

A US diplomat some years ago described him as "buying futures in xxxxxx" It seems he`s now buying futures in a Thailand after the inevitable happens.

An interesting move.

I suspect the drop is temporary, wait until Russia/China start trading actively with Thailand.

Huh? What nonsense are you talking. China is already the biggest destination of Thai exports and Russia, whilst in the top 20, is mired in recession so hardly likely to spark a rivival in consumer spending.

But happiness is being returned to the people and that is the main thing. The latest poll says 105% of the Thai population think the General is doing a good job and are enjoying the lower standard of living.

Getting drunk arguing for all and sundry to hear and then going for a swim and drowning, well , lets just say she paid for her behaviour, sometimes it pays to have those old fashioned values, moderation and discretion, she showed neither and doesn't need them now.

You seem nearly excited by her death. So much hate and anger for a lady you have never met.

You seem a troubled soul

The replies to this article epitomise all that is wrong with this forum and much of the expat community that posts on it.

Young girl looses her life and boring old men queuing up to offer conspiracy theories and criticise a typo.

RIP young lady

"The PM [General Prayut Chan-o-cha] was treated at the same level as other countries' leaders when he attended the summit Asia-Europe Meeting in Milan last October.

He must have missed the bit where Prayuth tried to shake hands with the Swiss leader

To improve Thailand's international image, General Prayut's government has tried hard to abide by international norms, such as those relating to human rights and the protection of wildlife,

The spokesperson said this indicated that more people have earned more money through various government economic stimulus programs

Such as!?

There is only so long they can blame the previous government for and that time has passed.

Their efforts to stimulate the economy have been lackluster at best.

Any decent middle to upper class Thai woman would never consider getting involved with a farang,

There are tens of thousands of Thai girls studying in UK, USA and Australia. Their social standing ranges from hiso to middle class.

If you think none of these girls date farrangs you are deluded.

This facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ceclip?fref=ts is one of (perhaps the) most popular in Thailand with the guts of 9 million followers.

Daily it posts sickening videos of onlookers standing by and videoing violence. I`d bet money the incident above was videoed. When I raised it on here a few months back the usual crew came out with their "Thai bashing" or "you`re friends arent hiso like mine" nonsense. Glad to see more sympathy on this thread.

The truth is it is a very sick society that can sit back and not only watch but video such violence. In other countries such videos would lead to prosecution whilst in Thailand we all know the police will do nothing.

On this occassion this lady paid the ultimate price.

Personally I feel sorry for someone that feels the need to fit in elsewhere by devaluing their own roots

Not quite sure why this topic has been revived but anyway....

Being able to see through and rise above the brainwashing inflicted on Thais from an early age is something to be commended, not pitied.

I personally consider the Japanese to be the most brutal people

on planet Earth, and their conduct in WWll certainly proved that. For a moment,

the mask dropped, and we were able to see what they are really like.

Horrific racism, sad the mods let this stay.

The idea a race or nationality is inherently evil is just racism. The idea 130 million people all share the same personality is just ignorant.

Suthep got banished off to be a monk because he couldn`t keep his mouth shut and Mark is now working out he also doesn`t figure in the elites plan post (cannot say) era.

Bless. The fractures in the elite are growng by the day and will explode sooner rather than later. These dinasaurs are doomed and their patronage world is caving in around them

The junta doesn`t care about these issues, it`s focusing on more important things like dirty beaches and 15 principles

Pass it on to the U.S. congress?

That's amusing.

Do they know who controls the U.S. congress?

Exactly. They should have just gone to the Israeli embassy and cut out the middle man.

Maybe Costas IS the General, you never know...???

Naa Costas has a basic grasp of English so can`t be,

Not only Thailand,

Name me another economy facing it`s worst economic in 40 years?

It is only Thailand.

You and about a dozen posters spend all day on TVF rebutting any criticism of the junta. Quite why no one knows, it is truly bizarre behaviour.

Following numerous comparisons to North Korea, the General wants to mix things up with comparisons to Saudi Arabia and other repressive states.

Yingluk kicked inflation into high gear with her vote-buying populist policy BS.

God you two are so boring. Regardless of the topic you bring up an administration that has long been and gone and has nothing to do with the failures of today. As I`ve said before, it`s like defending your cheating wife by pointing out your previous wife was also unfaithful. Change the record.

For the record halloween, inflation can and does changes from month to month dependent on a huge variety of factors such as interest rates and oil prices. The idea it can be affected by a government that stopped functioning properly at the end of 2013 is ignorant in the extreme, like most of your posts.
