They are hostages to Trump's big lie.

Agree that helping the poor should be paramount agenda. Giving 9,276 rai of army-owned land in Udon Thani to landless farmers is a good start. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/land-redistribution-pm-gifts-9276-rai-to-udon-thanis-landless-farmers

Likely as polls don't always reveal the "hidden" votes or 14th Amendement disqualification from ballot or he may go off the deep end and cannot function as his legal problems accelerate. Any of the 3 will be a win for democracy.

Will leave you alone in your sandbox to play with your imaginary friends.

The government was formed constitutionally. Blamed the constitution and the senates for putting all the stop to prevent MFP from forming the government. Nevertheless, this government is legit and consisted of elected lawmakers of various parties. Far from your assertion that they were not chosen by the public. Of course the government will appoint officials that susbcribed to their mandate. Isn't that political business as usual. Your last sentence can't be comprehended unless your have some direct information that you can share. I share your sentiment that MFP should be in the coalition government as they won the largest amount of seats but they were denied by the twisted 2014 constitution. The subsequent government coalition was given the mandate legally; not trickery.

As far as I know, there will be 5 entertainment complexes incorporating a casino within. Strict rules for Thais and revenues will be taxed at 30%. Tourism need to have a breathe of fresh air and entertainment complex with a casino will be such tonic. I would also like to see Thailand included in Formula 1 racing destination. Thailand is getting stale with the usual tourism menus of food and temple and need to embrace new attractions. Sands, MGM and Genting have indicated interests. Chinese casinos can’t compete with these giants and I doubt any of the Chinese operators can outbid the big 3 for license. All the Chinese fears are unfounded and pure emotional

In the past, all PM were elected by House of Reprentatives. It was only until the military re-written 2014 constitution that call for a joint house election of the PM. That period can be referred as Banana but not previous.

By elites, you mean the military. There are more military governments than civilians. Civilians stand no chance against the military stepping in at their own will and agenda. Every coups and every military governments were disasters dragging down the economy and image.

Really a generic opinion by Anutin but adopted by some as a political sage and forgetting his past as a master manupulator. A party leader resigned and a new leader was elected. Paetongtan was elected and 22 other members of the executive committee were also elected. Surely none is surprise by this leadership. Sretha will serve the next 4 years and perhaps even the next if the political situation remain stable. The public is satisfied with Sretha performance and he has being all over the news with his hands-on attitude towards driving the economy. Paetongtan is in no hurry and should allow Sretha's vision to be fulfilled. Disrupting the momentum will be disastrous for the party and brand.

Petty interpretation of the event. Bowing is a Thai tradition to pay respect. Paying respect to the recently elected leader of Sretha's political party is pretty much decent and normal etiquette. Did he bow or just lowering his head to pay respect by kissing her hand. Much ado about nothing.

North is not a PTP stronghold except Uthai Thani. Fights are between PPRP, BJT and maybe Dem in Tak in next election.

Give it up mate. Judge Arthur F. Engoron has already ruled on Sept. 26 that Trump had committed fraud by inflating his assets. The on-going case is how much is he liable. Letitia James is seeking $250m in fines and a ban on Trump doing business in his home state. I have a good feeling the fine will likely to be more the $250m judging from the magnitude of his fraudulent assets inflation.

Not unusual for PM tyo hold other portfolio position if that portfolio is critical to the government mandate. Take for instance PM Winston Churchill was also the Minister of Defence or the Prayut held the Premiership as well as Defence Minister. .

The transition to EV cars is inevitable and soon will be a regular way of life although most of us will unlikely to see the complete elimination of petrol/diesel cars in our lifetime. Many countries have ICE bans in place. Thailand looking into 50% new car registration for EV by 2035 and 100% by 2040. Really not a question of why but when. Stockholm has the distinction of being the first city to ban ICE vehicles soon. https://cleantechnica.com/2021/01/02/31-countries-states-and-cities-have-ice-bans-in-place/

or Trump employed his bullet proof “ I hardly know her” defense. Lol. This fat boy is toast Prepare the orang jumpsuit.

Government is keen but will depend on how they can conjure up the funding. It has to be funded by new money like borrowing or excess liquidity like a big tourist upturn. Perhaps the recipents of the payment will be reduced to a more manageable number. There will always be critics. Thailand economy has stagnated for many years with 2-3% growth per year. Thailand need bold policies to grow by at least 5% for the next few years to improve the standard of living. Doing nothing to stimulate growth is not helpful to the economy and to the citizens.

You probably will add Jenna Ellis to the singing trio this week. Very likely to plead guity. She is angry with Trump and very broke to fund her indictment defense.

Chinese EV are dominating the market and technology so no surprise that most may end up with one. Meanwhile fossil fueled climate deniers are thwarting their EV domestic agenda.

The Thailand National EV Policy Committee has introduced a comprehensive roadmap as a framework for EV development from 2021-2035 which included improving grid capacity.

PTT has an extensive network of 2,500 petrol stations in Thailand. I am sure there is one near you. In their plan, PTT target 7,000 EV charging stations by 2030. https://www.just-auto.com/news/ptt-targets-7000-ev-charging-stations-in-thailand/

You wrong to make judgement of my personal ethics. I agree with all the things you said about Putin. If you study Thailand's foreign policies; it has always been a non-alignment position. Sretha is no difference from past Prime Minister's neutral stance. Please stick to Thailand's foreign policy and cease making personal judgement. It is very offensive.

Long cherished Thailand politics is to safeguard national interests; famously dubbed "bamboo bending with the wind". Sensible considering Thailand's limited influence in world affairs.

Quite a handfull of payouts during Prayut's government from 5,000 baht per month payouts to covid economic pacjages forcing cabinet to approved an emergency loan decree worth 1 trillion baht. It's the government responsibility to take care of the poor and the poor are grateful for the government handouts; they need all the help.

You have details of the digital wallet and land bridge to enable you to declare they are crackpot ideas. It’s ok if you say it’s just your own assumption.

Thailand didnt ratify the Rome Statute because of ICC Article 27 which stipulate that "official capacity as a Head of State shall in no case exempt a person from criminal responsibility under this Statute, nor shall it, in and of itself, constitute a ground for reduction of sentence". That was the major concern for countries with constitutional monarchy. Not because of Thaksin's drug war as you alleged. Get the facts right.
