time to put their money where their mouth is and have this investigated or they are simply no better than the previous ptp govts. Family or not, if someone is following corrupt practices they need to be investigated and charged, anything else is simply extreme arrogance. What happens now will be pivotal to the current pm and what he claims he stands for, is he there for the country or for his families benefit

It's been proved there's no shame in the junta so things will roll along without any care or concern and the PM et al will still spout all their transparency and anti-corruption BS minus the obvious codicil " this doesn't apply to us. "

Oh for goodness sake - be positive man!

There's plenty of good news out there to put a smile on your face.

A massive jump in Chinese tourists, Chula  University is to become an innovation hub, the body in the freezer is not French,  and no doubt some Taxi 

driver will soon return a small fortune to an absent minded farang.

Thank you for your kind words of comfort and I've recovered enough to type.

Please understand that for me any thought that anyone doesn't believe in or trust OGL ( Our Glorious Leader ) is just too much to take,

I demand a new opinion poll  be conducted immediately by a totally independent and trustworthy organisation such as Thai Researchers for Community Happiness to put everyone's mind at rest. It's not a major task and the results can be available within the next 5 minutes.

The amount of monies wasted in such ventures are better spent in improving basic primary and secondary education in public schools.

 

Isn't foundation building important? 

Great idea but too radical I'm afraid and there's no publicity headlines in it.

Press freedom? 

 

But before we get ahead of ourselves, the elephant in the room, critical thinking at a national level needs to addressed.

Critical thinking is one thing but being allowed to think to start with is a different story.

They should go after the guy that sold the General his suit. Looks like Jimmy Wah's suit from Good Morning Vietnam.

Jimmy's was green I think from Hong Kong ' home of the shiny green suit '. Now everybody say gook, it's ok !

What's this, not even the pretence of a sham investigation for public consumption ?

Now that IS arrogance.

Can't wait to read what they say about the company office being inside an army base.

There's concern his approval rating may slip below 99%

 

 

Oh no, please it's too early in the morning for distressing news.

How can I face the day with my usual cheery disposition ? 

A dog doesn't serve two masters so tell the truth or the just truth approved approved by the junta ?

The captain of the Titanic assured  " everything's under control. "

Chamberlain said " peace in our time . "

However this is from a Thai official so everyone can relax completely  

Look at that smirk, is it ' I know something you don't 'or ' I'm coming to get you ? '

The kiss of a mafia don.

Erosion of public faith ? Haven't opinion polls proved and will continue to prove just how popular he is.

With the military and Art 44 he can afford a ' so what ' ' attitude as the elite, hiso etc don't care what anyone ' beneath' them thinks .

Dense Fog, and of course everyone would be driving according to the prevailing conditions.

Allerdyce is talking entrapment but the essence of the defence of Entrapment / Agent Provocateur is to show that the accused did something they would not normally have done because of trickery or other objectionable conduct.

He knew what was on offer and was right in there because of greed. It doesn't matter he thought they were businessmen as he didn't refuse or walk away from what was proposed, he didn't even object.

As bad as it all is, might there also be a thing called poverty besides "lust for money"?

Yes poverty does make people steal etc but what of those who don't need money yet still embezzle, steal etc.?

Some steal because it's the only way they see of surviving or getting by but many others steal because what they already have is never enough. Poverty is hardly an excuse for them.

The PMsays he will use section 44 against the previous administration for corruption in the rice pledging scheme.

OK that would be good, will he also use section 44 against those involved in corruption in his own administration?????

But everything so far has proved to be transparent and above board.

They never have before, even when the military is in charge.

 

The source is the military and the fact it operates to protect its own interests and the interests of a minority of Thai elites and not the electorate, whom it is meant to serve.

 

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

Many Thai's are still living in the dark ages; sexual abuse of underage girls and boys by family members or anyone who wants to 'buy' is rife in many villages.   Some will say this is rubbish but i've witnessed a lot of it in the last ten years.   Most communities have Policemen living in them but they turn a blind eye to such goings on.

Look at village marriage involving young teenage girls, money changes hands so the parents are happy and the village attends the piss up, headman etc and all.

Something deep rooted in the sub-conscious at work here to even contemplate such treachery.

The more I read about kids abuse in Thailand, makes me think how much more of his is going on !!!

People comparing what happens around the world is of no concern given that we're living in this country and feel compassionate about its children as a whole.

The lust for money trumps everything and no more so in situations like this, nothing else matters.

I suppose a shrink might see something about some grandparents resenting having children dumped on them and taking their anger out on the only people within reach but it's just so hard to understand.

They should have been let in. People are people.

It doesn't matter who people are, perhaps other than VIPs, there's no automatic right of entry and that's how it should be.

If, as with young women and men I suppose, the immigration officers suspect the purpose of visit isn't simply shopping and sightseeing they've every right to refuse entry.

I've no doubt some genuine tourists are wrongly turned back but that's how it goes unfortunately. This situation has been blown out of all proportion.

Disgusting evil old witch. It's hard to take onboard grandma selling her grandchild for sex.

What's happening to Thailand of late it's children are being sacrificed as sex objects !!!

I remember a story from 1-2 years back of a granny who was pimping her two granddaughters, age range 10-14,  and she'd delivered and collect them from the customers on the back of her pedal cycle. One of the customers was a teacher in the local school.

Then there's the infamous situation of a grandmother, a 14 year old girl and a monk who is now living the high life in the US.

Social media will be the downfall of many as they can't resist posting photos of absolutely everything and some of it will be of things and people that really shouldn't be made public.

This had nothing to do with love.

 

It was all about jealousy and possessiveness. 

Putting aside this was a murder and the fact the wife was flirting at the very least I wonder what the incidence of domestic violence resulting from a family member spending all their time on their smart phone is ?

"Seems they were simply refused for not meeting the criteria to enter as tourists. The fact they are transgender is irrelevant. "

 

If that is so why were they asked to sign a form related to their sex?

"The pair were told to sign two documents; one to confirm they had completed full gender reassignment surgery and one to confirm they would voluntarily go back to Thailand immediately."

They didn't sign any documents so there are no copies that can be produced so we only have their word for it.

I wonder what language was used during the interview ?

"Love is a serious mental illness." ?

 

Author unknown...

 

I read that quote many years ago and rejected it.

 

Over time,  especially after reading all these suicide, murder and attempted murder news articles, I'm beginning to believe that love is an an illusion and can be mental illness or the cause and accelerate depression.  My two divorces in the U.S. many moons ago made me think more about the quote.

 

It seems to me the renters of love have more spendable money, are happier and live longer, providing they keep asking questions!

 

The  author  must've been a genius. I wonder if he's here in Thailand. 

 

If the author is reading this identify yourself.  More quotes please.   

Are you thinking of  ' Love is a temporary illness cured by marriage ' ?
