  1. Have Pitak Siam changed there name in the hope that nobody will remember that they were going to disband after their dismal performance last time?

    What you call a dismal performance was succumbing to wave after wave of tear gas and thousands of overly-aggressive police.

    Global Post news photo link:

    Thai riot policemen clash with demonstrators during a protest in Bangkok on November 24, 2012. Thai police fired tear gas and detained dozens of people as tensions flared at an anti-government protest on November 24 in Bangkok.

    What do you call a terrific performance? The red shirts' grenade launchers? The men in black firing assault weapons?

  2. Prompong Nopparit, spokesman of the ruling Pheu Thai Party,

    He threatened to petition the Election Committee next week, seeking to dissolve the opposition Democrat Party after its leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and deputy leader Suthep Thaugsuban urged Democrat MPs to join anti-government rallies.

    The Democrats’ behaviour is a breach of Section 68 of the Constitution, he said.

    It absolutely does NOT breach Section 68, Prompong.

    Stick to defending Yingluck's failings and filing defamation lawsuits.

    Leave the threats to Chalerm. He's better at it.

  3. The yellow occupoation of the airports was less destructive but in some ways more poisonous because it set a precedent that street mobs could dictate to elected governments.If one sows the hurricane, one tends to reap the whirlwind.The "very educate" proto fascists in the PAD set the trend and the reds followed their example.

    Are you going the 5 year old kid's excuse of " ... but they did it first"??

    Even worse... it's inaccurate as to who did it first.

  4. There was a world of difference between the Airport bloodless sit in by the Yellow Shirts, and the Bloody violence and commandeering a City and Burning Government Buildings in various parts of Thailand,crimes committed by the Red Shirt Mob. You may believe it was of no consequence that several large companies and Vendors lost their livelihood,because of the arson and disruption,but not many would agree with you.

    That may be on the borderline of having a grain of Subjective truth

    It doesn't, in terms of the timeline and precedence setting.

  5. Wow, i didn't realize the whole of Bangkok was closed.

    Somebody has been reading The Nation( and believing it)

    They think that closing down a fee shoppinging centers and hotels is " the entire city"

    Yet when you bring up the terrorists that commandeered an internationàl airport they dismiss it.

    The truth is the precedent was a set a year earlier than the airport when hundreds of people were injured in the melee of red shirt violence in July 2007.

    None of those red shirt leaders from then, or 2009, or 2010 have had their cases adjudicated and none are incarcerated.

    The thugs in red shirt violence set the trend long before PAD and the airport (which, btw, didn't involve hundreds of people being injured).

  6. red shirts have the most history with using grenades and the faulty handling of explosives

    The Criminal Court on Tuesday sentenced to life imprisonment a man who planned to bomb the Bhum Jai Thai Party headquarters but injured himself instead when the explosives accidentally detonated

    and

    Samai was killed when the bomb went off on in his room Tuesday in Bang Bua Thong district. Four people, including Samai, were killed while several others were injured.

  8. Here are the facts : There has been a oil spill, the government has not tried to cover this up

    *forum bashing tripe snipped*

    Fact:

    They tried to cover it up from the very beginning.

    The spill happened Saturday.... and in the crucial first 48 hours, it was denied, downplayed, and hidden.

    It wasn't until Monday that they finally admitted there was a spill and, even then, lied about its scope and severity.

  9. you know what is sad, there are people on this forum who think this will be fixed in 90 day. like no trace! This will be in your seafood giving you cancer for years to come. there is no "fixing" this. i saw the video, there were 6 men on the beach in jumpsuits with SPOONS! People are just in shock and denial at this stage. Wait till all the oil in the satellite photo hits the beaches. and who cares about the tourists. the beach will still be destroyed even if it is a stretch of beach no one goes to. this is a total disaster.

    90 days?

    Yingluck's government and PTT said it'll be fixed today.

    the Thai Government and PTT say that the spill on Koh Samet will be cleaned up by this coming Thursday

  10. I have seen a industrial accident in every country that has any industry, the Thai response is as good as any countries. the beaches can be cleaned, the wild life will survive. Mother nature little friends microbes will eat the oil in the ocean, and in a short time this will all be a memory, as long as the response teams keep working and get the resources needed.

    and it's a wonderful world.....apart from the fact that you seem completely misinformed firstly about the clean up effects and secondly about the effects of the oil and the dispersants.

    Of course they need to clean up the bulk of the waste, but watch for 6 months time.

    6 months???

    Yingluck's government and PTT said it'll be finished today.

    the Thai Government and PTT say that the spill on Koh Samet will be cleaned up by this coming Thursday
