Fun Fun Fun....... ..............Well it is for this rascal...

Certainly got his teeth into it.

Early Thought For The Day - what's happened to Craig 3365 ?

Didn't he qualify for the second round yet he's not on the list. I have views that would probably get me suspended but if anyone thinks I'm raising doubts about the whole POTY thing, they're absolutely correct.

Kudos to the management of POTY 2016.

Is it not a bit early for pats on the back as there's still another week to go ? 

After seeing some of the disgraceful posts this morning it's still far from over.

ThaiVisa,remember there is no prize for the winner,just knowing

other posters and members ,respect and acknowledge what you 

contribute to this forum.

regards worgeordie

Well said and it needed to be.

IF this is repeated next year I can imagine a lot of posters won't appreciate being nominated.

There is like 50 nominees which will be knocked down to 5. You don't think that will have an effect on second round results?

 

Well it should but ... !     

Handy for window dressing though.

ATTENTION 

 This poll closes at 5pm this afternoon

Will the winner be announced at 1701 hours as I'm sure it can be done and it will save an unnecessary second round .

Well I guess I'll be glad when it's over but I've had a but of fun with it: Of those high on the leader board, one of them said of me here on ThaiVisa that I was a disgusting person and another said that the dogs leave sh-&i-t at my front gate because dogs are a good judge of character.

Imagine if they didn't like you much.

I wonder how many members feel like me and will be glad when this is all over as there's so much nonsense being posted and it gives the idea the winner could be announced now, not that I'm suggesting things won't be above board.    

What's happening to LoS, I've voted already and wasn't even offered any money ?

I nominate kannot.

Oh Ho, input from a Mod, is that allowed ?

It's not going to be that kind of voting is it ?

On the word of command - " Mark Time ! "

Pongpat was at it for years yet nobody knew !

If a situation we can't talk about hadn't happened would we be reading stories like this about him ?

I don't know how well quoted he was with the current powers but the situation that can't be mentioned certainly removed his previous insurance and even if he was in with he current regime there's no way anyone could have saved him.

Even with his guilty pleas i can't remember anyone being arrested, in court and dealt with at the speed it all happened.

Oh...spare me!

Prayuth getting involved in these trivial issues is pure PR".........he is after all the leader of hugely corrupt military!!

PR exactly and the Sgt is junior enough to be dealt with. Would the PM have involved himself if it was a senior officer and especially one he knew, unless he didn't like him naturally.

Look how all those on the NCPO, including many military types, were immediately protected when wealth was questioned.

Try it once again PM and this time with more sincerity, yes i know it's difficult.

Harold Wilson used to say that a week was a long time in politics so what can happen in 30 days ?

I'm presuming that these favourable reviews are as bent as those for restaurants and bars unless the reviewer has ethics.

A previous landlord of mine was friendly with someone who did reports on bars and restaurants and he had a couple of ploys to ensure he got the best of service at no cost such as identifying himself as soon as he entered the premises so everything was just so and no bill presented or identifying himself after spending little or nothing then identifying himself as he paid the bill which was usually withdrawn.

He would then say his review was not too favourable but he would hold off submitting for publication and visit again to give the establishment a chance to prove themselves. Naturally the staff spotted him next time at a 100 yards and no prizes for guessing the treatment he received and again no bill.

He eventually lost his job but he'd done very well out of it.

Saying ' most Thais ' were satisfied is quite a stretch, at best it's most surveyed were satisfied and 1,572 is hardly representative.

The idea it was nationwide too is open to question. I very much doubt the poll sent researchers out to the far flung provinces or have their people based anywhere other than Bangkok.

An 18 year old and a handgun ?

Too early in the morning to ask why he needed one.

Doesn't bear thinking about does it even if it's ' just ' face as it's an easy step from losing face to doing something about it.

"The PM added that the government’s attempt to uphold Thailand’s image has attributed to an increase of more than 20% in tourist arrivals in the first quarter of this year."

Yes, PM, I'm sure the Chinese and some other tourists flooded Thailand knowing your efforts to solve the human trafficking problem......

Didn't I say to you to think before you speak?

Nobody seems to be listening to me.......

What's wrong Costas, your hero's halo slipping ?

Let there be light !

Are there any reports about the govt that don't start with " The PM ... " ?

He's the complete one man band and running everything so does he really need the whole NCPO or are they there simply to take the blame if something goes wrong as i don't see him admitting he erred in any way.

Is there something wrong with the Prime Minister running the government and it's associated activities?

You really are a pathetic troll.

Can't wait to see how long it takes for some, any, of the names to be released and how long it takes for action to be selectively taken.

Is list number 2 being prepared ?

Big contracts, defence or otherwise, means big payments and i don't just mean those on the contract.

Nice business for some..
