Wow! Who'd have thought?

Anyone sensible in his position would wait until a democratically elected civilian government is installed and a pardon has been granted. What Mr S will do however is anyone's guess!

RIP Mr. Hamad Alblaiher. Surely it cannot be that just the excitement of being in Pattaya's Walking Street at 03:46 induced a heart attack?

RIP Mr. Somkieat Dumklang. 43 is so young, but no-one promises us a "tomorrow".

Would tonight be too late??? I hope not!

I see trouble ahead. It may be wise for those that can to leave The Kingdom until matters are resolved.

It is likely that the Senators would want to block any Pheu Thai PM selection, but that could be a dangerous move as it would become very apparent to voters that the Senators are in control. In reality Pita's offer to "step aside" could be seen as a threat to fully lay bare the extent of the Senators' control over the democratically elected parliament. This possibility could certainly go some way to "win over the hearts and minds" of the Senators.

52? Seriously?

How very sad for the Thai people.

Those who really run Thailand are disappointed with the election result and will do whatever it takes to evade the will of the electorate. They are currently using non-violent methods to achieve this but, as in the past, will not hesitate to use force to achieve their objective. Let us all hope nevertheless that this remains peaceful.

What's that noise I can hear in the distance? Could it be murmurs of discontent, or is it the rumble of TANKS?

RIP Mr Hans-Peter Mack. What is surprising in this case is the BIB apparently doing real police work. Amazing Thailand.

"The problem is all inside your head she said to me...." Listen to Paul Simon and take heed!

My thoughts also. The BIB probably saw the 2 tablets as a "nice little earner", but perhaps he had insufficient funds?
