"...they will be certified." Sounds like they're becoming Thai Government Ministers!  

Loaded questions!  Then they want to eyeball people when asking questions, perhaps to ensure they give the expected "correct" answers otherwise it is "attitude adjustment"?     

At least the RTP did not immediately say it was suicide - seemingly the normal practice. Maybe they could wait for an autopsy in the meantime? 

RIP Michel.

Why hate the military per se? Maybe the 'hate' applies to some military leaders only?

Would the Government admit they got "railroaded"? NO.

I wouldn't like to be in this guys shoes, that's for sure.

He deserves every punishment that comes his way.

First stop - jail those who issued the land deeds! Secondly, seize all their assets. And as for those who have built within the Mae Hong Song forest land let them give unequivocal evidence why they should not watch their premises being demolished!

"...this obscene or provocative dancing." Hardly either!

Ummmmm..............telling you a lie if you're overweight?

"No mention is made of the closure on the company's sign up page." I bet the financial owners have already left the country. 

Ho hum.............move along. Nothing exciting here, including the 'dancer'.

Hey, here's what the US should do:

 

Flood the entire region with weapons, big and small, and boat loads of ammo.  The US makes bundles of money, and.......

 

Middle Easterners will do what they're so adept at doing:  shoot and blast each other to smithereens.

 

Oh wait, that's what's already happening.

Sounds like that the German embassy doesn't want to help one of its own citizens? I wonder why? 

Hope he gets the assistance he needs, within Thailand.

I wholeheartedly agree with having an election and getting rid of the maniac known as Prayuth, but Egypt was a bad example to use. Sure, they had an election after a year, and then they had another coup because elected president started behaving like a religious dictator. 

At least they gave it a go and I don't see that happening here anytime soon.

And you uninformed, they armed Osama bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, now they arming "moderate" Islamic rebels to fight the Syrian army.

Who do you think those moderate rebels are? 

I am quite aware of what happened in Afghanistan! Yes, the enemy originally was the Russians. So, arm the mujhideen to help get rid of the Russians. Then the 'mujhideen' turned on the U.S. and its allies. But Osama Bin Laden did not get all his arms from the U.S. or its allies.

It is not a perfect world so in trying to 'despatch' what may be termed the greater enemy, some smaller enemies fill the void. History always seems to repeat itself.

So, who are the moderate rebels? Definitely not ISIS/ISIL/Daech who are the current terrorist enemy. And the Shites don't seem to mind knocking of a group of Sunni extremists.

It's neither.

 

It's an ability to accept an opposing point view, caused by a realisation that there is no justice system to back you up if a group decides to rule in their favour rather than according to the constitution of the month.

Nice words but the military is not going to let go off its power anytime soon, despite all the streams of propaganda and procrastination (all for the happiness of Thai peoples) from them. As I have said before, Egypt had a military coup and within 12 months held free elections. Anyone wonder why it has not happened here? It is one of the golden rules - he who has the gold, rules. I rest my case.

I guess I don't understand why westerners come here if they don't like Thailand, I come here because its fun and a lot cheaper than back home. If Thailand gets all the same rules and regulations that we love back home it will no longer be fun or cheap.

I understand then that you are happy to sacrifice all those killed and injured, and persecuted, and 'robbed' of education and basic human rights in order to justify why Thailand should never have any resemblance to where you came from? I think you are a very selfish person, to put it lightly.

I would expect this chap will be "invited" to an attitude adjustment (are they still calling it that?) session in short order.

 

Hope not, but too late - he has gotten his message out. 

So true about the "colours". I am thinking that the State Elites are not going to give up power without a 'fight'.

"Since the coup, he said the junta had not just fixed immediate issues, but come up with strategies to drive the country into the future." Into the Juntas future  

By the man who proclaimed to all and sundry in 2015: "Democracy will never die from Thailand because I am a democratic soldier but I stay in power because I want democracy to survive” - General Prayuth Chan-O-Cha.

Many must now be asking "What democracy"? Or "Whose version of democracy"?

Why go for an old USB 3.0 PICe card, you can get USB 3.1 PCIe cards in Thailand http://www.invadeit.co.th/product/computer-accessories/orico/pa31-2p-2-ports-usb3-1-pci-express-card-p026990/

Will an external hard drive with USB 3.0 port accept the higher speed of a USB 3.1 pci-express card?
