  1. Reckon you would have a very different opinion and comment if the "victim" was your wife or kids or was the current PM who has very much flown the country into the ground and countless peoples lives. Not so funny now huh...

    This idiot so-called pilot should not only be sacked immediately but his pilots license revoked indefinitely then make a very public apology and large fines.

    As if the country's aviation sector isn't in enough trouble.

    What an ignorant comment to make about the current PM, he has done more for this country than the previous corrupt governments and has nothing to do with this issue. The pilots should be reprimanded for their comments but as usual it was probably taken out of context by some overly sensitive people looking for attention.

    Pardon me. This current PM done what? Still waiting; well accept for the lottery price, beach chairs etc; he done zilch. He has lots to do with this issue if he act with decorum regarding a former PM especially this case involves security. But alas, he really lack class and decency to act appropriately especially towards the previous government.

    Read more slowly, more than previous governments [emoji6]

    How much more exactly? Anything on anything important? (Corruption in the police? Corruption in the army? Corruption in the civil service? Aviation? Fishing? Human Trafficking? Holes in roads? The price of pork? Human Rights? Forced disappearances? Abductions by the army? Conflict in the South? The Economy? Exports? FDI? Inequality of wealth? The state of Education? The state of the healthcare system? Minimum living wage?).

    Perhaps, when you say "more than previous governments", you could clarify how...?

    W

    and that was just under Yingluck [emoji4]

    Of course all that was under Yingluck and all previous government. Just that when you said "more", I expect improvement. Has corruption, economy, trafficking and all in sundry really improved in this government or just move sideways and only given lip service but able to fool the gullible junta apologists.

  2. Nothing wrong with Nok Air apart from their pilots - those responsible should be fired at once and their names circulated in the industry so they cannot get another pilot's job

    Many just left and they had to employ a lot of new starters.

    I guess pilots have to start their training somewhere.

    Just flew last week to Trang and was a very bumpy landing. Must be the pilot on the job training. Passengers are down and Thai Lion Air is reaping Nok bad image. Probably my last time flying Nok.

  3. Once again, the police appear to be leaking critical information about an investigation in progress. And the media has no problem divulging it.

    Police reform? In my lifetime?

    Not even if you were -30 years old. Too bad the "PM" has spent all his energies on the all important lottery reform!

    What is wrong with you? You moan and bitch about police reform, the RTA leads a raid on a well known brothel exposing corrupt police, and all you want to talk about is trivia (according to you). There is a lot more corruption being rooted out under the junta even if you prefer to deny it.

    Seriously, has anyone been charged and convicted except for those highly politicized cases. This just a trophy case.

  4. When does this lunacy end??? dry.png

    As we speak, there are mediators that will convince the Dhammakaya to surrender himself to the judiciary process and thereafter the court will find a compromise whereby he gets a slap his wrist. No direct ugly confrontation and no one lose face. Thailand history full of court cases untying volatile political knots to reach middle ground. Problem is whether Dhammakaya enemies will accept the court decision and wage their own wars.

  5. Good to see that the PM doesn't fall into the usual trap of ' helping the poor farmers ' fiasco and that

    he learned the lesson from his predecessor who squanders zillions on those farmers, and guess what.

    they're still the same poor farmers as they were years ago and will be for generations to come, as they

    keep doing the same mistakes over and over again hoping for different outcomes......

    So helping the poor rubber farmers by pledging to buy at premium prices is ok by you?

  6. "Prayut said after chairing a weekly Cabinet meeting that his power under Article 44 would be mainly used to arrest and detain quickly those violating security laws and committing severe crimes".

    Is solving higher education problems considered as violating security laws and severe crimes?

    It depends on which side of logic you are coming from Eric, I hope that helps.

    Silly me to think that mandatory reciting of the 12 core values daily will be effective enough to solve that side of logic.

  7. Scary thing for me is how will he react if there is an uprising.

    Live fire on unarmed civilians has been their modus operandi in the past, on several occasions, I have no reason to believe that will change.

    So why aren't they storming the wat?

    Still having difficulty seeing the difference? Firing on unarmed civilians during elected government good excuse for a coup. Junta now the government, no reason they should do that and good excuse for junta prolong stay as the big guy claimed "no peace and order".

  8. Perfect excuse for the general to stay in power as he openly said today at the G77 forum. He want to see peace and order before he leave. What a brilliant set-up.

    "Frankly speaking, I won't go anywhere as long as the country is not at peace and in order. I won't leave, despite how much you hate me," General Prayut told diplomats from a group of 134 developing countries at the G77 forum.

  9. This attitude is exactly why Thailand will continue to have issues with the masses when they gather.....seen at Swampy and the 2010 red shirt revolt...and the PDRC fiasco...the authorities continually bumble along in their inept attitude and cannot make decisions to quash this nonsense.

    This current revolt against the rule of law, obviously overuled by religion, must be stopped.

    Clearly the difference is that all the rest of the mentioned demonstrations were in public places and created lots of inconveniences to the general public. As long as they keep within their compound, this fight is between them and the junta. The general public and the economy are not affected and that's good. And the rule of law has already been overuled by the military coup. The junta may have been over zealous in their "get rid of Thaksin regime" motive.

  10. She could come back tomorrow and there would not be much chance she would win. She held the majority in contempt for too long. Even her own innocent poor farmer supporters who protested towards the end of her brothers reign a couple of years ago were threatened by his militant supporter base if they continued.

    Don't think she or her party worry too much as those farmers are from provinces of Ang Thong and Singburi and not party strongholds. They even could be paid protestors. Easy money during hard times.

  11. I do feel for Prayuth in this difficult situation. It is working against his moral belief. Didn't he brush off an alleged corruption park case when the accused parties returned the "commission?

    Yep, good to know though. You can rob a bank tomorrow but if you are found out all will be ok if you return the money. giggle.gif

    Imagine the discussion at the Police station

    Police - "did you rob the bank?"

    Me - "yes I did, sorry" "Here is the money, I want to return it"

    Police - "Ok, off you go, but don't do it again you naughty boy"

    Your anecdote acknowledged.

    Let's say the bank after receiving back the stolen money decide not to press charge. What then?

    Same situation in this temple case. Money was returned and KCUC said and I quote "given that we will get the money back (which they did), we have decided to drop all complaints against the temple and the abbot". Temple supporters are asking whether the DSI abandon its political neutrality. That's part of the temple supporters anger.
