how long or when will this clown realizes people are sick and tired of him and his cronies poor performance and corruption, what good has he done for the past 8 years,  he should start to pack ....

Realize?  He doesn't give  hoot about what people think about him.  He simply wants to stay in power and that all that matters to him.

I really miss the pointing.  And the commentary describing the colour shorts they were wearing upon arrest.  And only a few police in the pictures, where are the other 10 limelight wannabes.  Reporting lately has gone to the (soi) dogs.

Time for the superficiality and misogyny.

 

Both were/are at the top of their respective professions.

 

Ms. Yeoh cerrtainly has an enviable career spanning what 30+ years. Across all types of genres. She is amazing, and capping it off with a Best Actor Oscar is apropos. I'll watch any film with her in the cast.

 

Yingluck had a full and successful life before becoming the first female PM in Thailand. She faced a lot of hurdles implementing policies, and was brought down in an illegal fashion, perhaps because some feared how successful she might be in charting a course for Thailand towards more equality.

 

 

Nutsak, you certainly nailed it on the head.  Cheers.

As close as Thailand is with China and both not supporting Ukraine in any way, doubt the US-Thai Agreement will ever happen.

Criminals please register your weapon so you can commit crimes with a legal gun.  Meanwhile we'll take your picture, fingerprints and personal information.  Yes, they will be registering in droves.

The only way the Thai gov'  will rid this place of soi dogs and stray beach dogs is if they get pressured from news sources printing this story overseas.  Locals and tourists need to email the gov'  departments complaining about soi dogs and stray beach dogs chasing and biting tourists and kids.

 

This needs people action ....   not just words on a website forum,  no one in gov'  reads AN. 

Yes,  they read AN.  And simply chuckle at the farangs complaining to no avail.

I will make a most optimistic prediction. If they lose, then will never be another military coup here. Think about it. The moral authority that backed the coups in the past, is long gone. And the army does not have the guts to wage war against their people, Burma style. 

Nah. Won't happen. The Thai army does not have the guts for it, and the Thai soldiers, and the families of the soldiers would never tolerate their sons murdering innocent Thais. And the Thai soldiers are not facing the level of desperation the young Burmese are. The poverty here is not as grinding as it is in Burma. I do not think it could be sustained, if the fools started it. Thailand is a very different culture than Burma, on a dozen significant levels. And the youth now, are very different people than they were during past coups, which were violent.
 
The army is in a difficult position now. If voted out, they would have to accept it. The generals would have to be content with their fortunes. 
 

Moral authority means nothing when corrupt power-hungry Generals think they may be subjected to Civilian rule.  Military is far to engrained in Thai civil society to quietly obey. Somebody always comes around to rape the country's coffers and reward the Military and its hundreds of Generals with billions of Baht and toys for the rank and file boys. Only people can halt the coups going on forward by simply not endorsing any coup. 

Retarded prediction.  'Nuff said.

I don't want to rehash the usual travel insurance stuff, which is pretty relevant.

 

But in the article is states 'brain function is now minimal'

 

Does that mean he's essentially brain dead?

Insurance will not cover riding while intoxicated.  And likely he had no motorcycle license, so another reason to deny Insurance payout. Poor guy, but he was a reckless fool.

And this is newsworthy?  Really?  

Oh puh...lee...z!  He's so far removed from citizens of Issan it's comical.  He's Military from military family.  He's now a billionaire as a despot General who illegally confiscated reigns of power, kept it for 9 years and begging pleading for more.  Pathetic despot.  Doesn't give a rat's gaze about the minions and notably Issan's people.

Domestic abuse continue because Bib seldom do anything. Witnessed myself many times, Bib arrive, husband wife or common wife (live-in), and they're told to calm down, and that's it.

 

Hummin post above was spot on.

 

Many women on dating sites write "no violence accepted", shows how common this problem is. Until authorities and law makers change the laws, and Bib act stricter, nothing will change.

Yes, Bib are so well trained and knowledgeable about domestic violence and how to properly deal with it when called.  Bib very competent, yes indeed. In a patriarchal archaic Society and police not going to take womens side on such things. 

Case by case basis. Thickest brown envelope wins approval.

Culture is indeed slow to change.  A root cause is that corruption is fostered by the heavy influence of Patronage in Thai culture.  The Patronage aspect of Thai culture starts at the top.  The very very top.  I think you know what I mean without saying so (Les majeste you know).

 

VERY top indeed.

Ya sure. That's why most Military Generals especially those who entered politics are filthy rich.  They took and take a firm stand against corruption.....yes indeed.

She's not Thai.  Aguilar is the daughter of Filipino musician Tony Aguilar and French-Vietnamese mother Margaret. She was born in Bangkok. And not a dancer either.

Just a different kind of scallywaggery, but one nonetheless. 

Skullduggery may appear in a variety of forms, yet the parent club remains under the same umbrella. 

 

What should be astounding and perplexing is that too many aren't able to comprehend this.

What the? How about some sense and clarity in what you are saying,  instead of trying to impress with incomprehensible drivel.
