So Pretty Boy and his star gazed minions might go the way of the Dodo??? That's what happens when you align yourself with anything, anybody even remotely connected to Thaksin and his Pheu Tai Red Shirt Party. Pretty Boy can now go back to collecting his monthly stipend from his Mammy and Daddy.

Burapha Generals and their yellow elites must be kicking themselves for the creation and rise of FFP. Just when they thought they have isolated Thaksin and dismantled PTP with massive doses of intimidation and through the courts, they still pose big threats. With the coalition of FFP rising stars, the yellow elites and the military days are numbered. 

I can’t understand why the government could not lift the current import restriction to ease the high price situation which affect the poor working class segment of the population most. Seem a logical solution or is there more than meet the eyes from not doing anything.

“Five types of rice will be guaranteed at Bt15,000-10,000 per ton

I thought I seen this rice pricing before. Bingo!

Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to win the July 2011 election and lead the Pheu Thai Party: Guarantee the procurement price of rice paddy for farmers at THB 15,000 (roughly $450) per ton

...and once again TV experts have the case closed without a single shred of evidence!!! Glad we have the experts to solve the problem!!

Don't really need any expert to know that the military is culpable to the death by a simple logic called substantial precedent. The quick denial by General Richard Mille was the other big clue.

He may well get away with it this time but many reports and comments on Thai platforms about 2.3bn in his bank accounts and why its not required to be declared and where its come from on army pay what truth there is in this one can only guess but???? 

In November 2014 he declared a joint worth of B128 million in assets and B654,745 in debts. He declared that he was undaunted by the prospect of being scrutinized. This alleged report seem a reasonable increase after working hard for the country for last 5 years ????

Looking forward to a vote of no confidence at the end of the debate. Got to push the envelope to the limit.

All total mercenaries - willing to swap sides to the highest bidder at a moment's notice!

 

We have to wait and see about FFP. Noticeable that 3 of their leaders were among the several MP's who failed to declare their assets to the NACC on time.

Begs the question as to why the previous cabinet ministers need not have to declare their assets and liabilities courtesy of a surprised NACC's regulation.

And you have prove of your accusations?

 

There is prove certain people publicly called on the red shirts to bring petroleum with them to "burn Bangkok down". Of course, those fires in response to that instruction may have been pure coincidence!

As you correctly stated your case that 'instruction may have been pure coincidence' or in legal terms called circumstantial evidence. You need direct evidence; don't you think so? Just for the sake of comparison, Suthep as head of CRES ordered live rounds to be used and there were 90+ killed by the military. He and Ahbisit were not indicted. See the difference how the justice system works in a rather predictable manner. 

Not often the court verdict is based on circumstantial evidence without inference but it happened. ????

In the correct order affecting hotel bookings

 

1. Strong baht

2. The rise and rise of air bnb

3. Boat sinking

Baht is strong against most western currencies but comparing to Yuan has been quite mild. Yuan rate was about 4.8 B last year compare 4.6 current after Chinese government widen the trading band. 

According to the Political Party Act Section 11, all political parties must have an executive committee, leader, deputy leader, secretary general, deputy secretary general, treasurer, registrar & spokesman. I guess Paiboon is acting in all that positions all along. Amazing talent in multi-skilling; a one man band. Also amazing flexibility in the Act to allow such shenanigan.

Privatisation.

 

The end.

Fierce resistance will come from these groups.

1. Unions - retrenchment

2. Right groups - “ sai na“losing national identity

3. MOF - losing 51% control

In conclusion, privatization not going to happen. They will be bail out.

There is no question that this man will go down in history as being not only one of the least competent leaders this nation has ever had, but also being one of the most destructive, and having had a hand decimating both the tourism industry, and the ex-pat community. He is a hater, a racist, a xenophobe, and small, fearful man, and a false puritan. There is nothing about him that is not a fraud. 

You forgot to include that he is a big flop in song writing and his singing voice left much to be desired.

As he almost certainly defected for personal financial gain, I would suggest he has a new alias:

alias Isarn Greedy <deleted> !

 

Also the fact that his charge for instigating sedition was dropped in time for him to defect to PPRP.

I will say that infrastructure in Thailand has surely gotten better since the 1980s.

"A blind man groping his way will find his destination" say Nuff.

They won the election by being the opposition and now they crossed over. Their constituencies has been betrayed and will remember that in the next election.
