I wonder if they will have the budget to look into military procurement alt=whistling.gif>

Indeed - if there is one branch of the government crying out for radical reform, it's the military.

The NACC could perhaps do with a thorough cleanout too, so they actually become an "independent public agency" rather than an agent of their masters. A look at the robust and (now) clean KPK in Indonesia, who have had huge successes, might help.

Typical of you 2.......................did you say these things when Yingluck/PTP were abusing the system, with all their all their adverts/photo sessions saying they will clean up corruption???

Attack anyone that isn't linked to the PTP. ?? we see it everyday on TVF this fragment of long winded pro PTP supporters---why not a bit of encouragement for a change ??? or will you lose face.-------I am saying go with the flow until anything is untoward then bash.

Yes I did. The military and pretty much all government agencies needed fixing then. I was living in Lampang and was constantly being told I was anti PTP.

I am anti dictatorship and corruption no matter who is in power. I just believe it should be up to the people of Thailand to choose their leaders. And that they should act in the interest of the people, not just line their pockets regardless of shirt colour

Are you (or you ilk) suggesting their is no corruption in the military procurement process?

 

What about Koh Samui... It is a Mess and Infested with Mafia and Mafia want to be's The land office is as corrupt as they come...  HELP.....

 

I'm sure it will be on the list.

 

Don't worry. I am sure a press conference to announce for Koh Samui is coming any day now 

Most impressive thing about CM for me has to be Khao Soi. Easily my all time favorite Thai food. Usually get it on the ring road near the river. Sorry but no idea on the name of the place

I always miss the chiang Mai local food when I travel south. Sticky rice, sai oowa , Kow sai etc. really sets chiang Mai apart from the beaches.

I share your pain. Currently back in Aust and the only Thai food is westernised with no Northern style. Tried to make it but no luck with the flavour balance. I must learn to cook it when I return

<deleted> we are in the 21st century, not the dark ages. These are supposed to be educated people not uneducated serfs.

See what a everybody passes school system gives you. Happy happy

300 million for minor renovations, must be all those new administrator charges. Ka-ching Ka-ching. But of coarse, these figures will be audited by independent agencies Things are much cleaner now

Another day, another announcement. Any chance of follow up or is it just all about the press conference.

Its like they are taking leadership advice off Kevin Rudd

It requires critical thinking, a skill not taught in Thai schools, nor will it ever be in the near future as the ruling classes want to keep the masses ignorant.

Easier to persuade them to be happy with their lot.

One can hope that now that that ruling class is gone the new one will improve the education system.

They have all ready taking a giant step towards that getting rid of the pads and deciding on a smart class room instead. I don't agree with introducing some of the classes but then again it is far better than nothing. On the other hand maybe the new classes will teach the Thais that they did not invent the wheel or fire.

I know there are the doubters out there who will say all they are is talk. Well ask that of the people doing the back to back border runs. Ask that of the farmers they said they would pay and did pay.

One can hope that now that that ruling class is gone the new one will improve the education system.

Tell us, please, what alternative universe you are living in? Your comment makes about as much sense as saying Thai put the first man on the moon.

Who do you think took the photo's when the Americans landed???

Well someone had to be there to take the photos when the Americans arrived ...

More jobs for the boys. Anyone who thinks any of this will lead to democracy probably believes in the tooth fairy

Question for you and your followers.

What has Democracy done for the people?

In a nation of 66 million people when half don't vote and out of the ones that do vote over half don't want the ones who win how can you call that a Democracy?

What good does it do the people?

People committing suicide because of it's policies. Students loosing the ability to learn due to cheap ill thought out poor performing pads with no real learning programs on them. Floods where the government stores supplies. Does nothing to help the people unless they live in Bangkok. The rest of Thailand didn't count. In fact it was there releasing water from behind a dam that caused it all. The army on their own moved in and helped.

The Government turned down American help that could have supplied and delivered all the fresh water that was needed.

The Army stepped in and took away the rights to vote. Then proceeded to do things for the benefit of Thailand. They laid out a plan where the people could once again vote in about a year and a half. First they are getting rid of the trash that was stealing the country blind. (those are the ones who are opposed to the army) then they are going to pass laws that make it impossible to go back to a dictatorship such as the one they just got out from under with a known criminal on the run afraid to step foot in the country yet buying all the crooked politicians to do what he says to do. In short a insane dictatorship. Name me one other country where the Prime Minister does not attend a cabinet meeting and instead has her brother a convicted criminal living in a self imposed exile call in and give instructions. That is not Democracy.

No the army is not a democracy but it is a government making it possible to have a Democracy.

Whoa, back up

I have followers

SWEET!!!

ps. as for the rest of the rubbish that follows, I agree that PT were crap as I have stated many times. But my tooth fairy comment still stands if you think the military is interested in anything more than their own power as they have always been. Lets face it, they have never done their job of defending the country (excluding the 4 hours when Japan invaded) and are setting themselves up to turn Thailand into a copy of Burma in its Junta times. Surely the people should choose their own representation even if it disagrees with your or my opinion or should they remain slaves to the 'right people'.

your sincerely

Demi god CMTim

So you are seeing similarities in what they are doing that compare with the Burma's Junta. Interesting. Pretty desperate aren't you having to go back to their uselessness 75 years ago. I was unaware of any other invasion of Thailand.

Yes you have followers willing to believe the PTP were the answer and should have been left in power to continue raping the country. You didn't really think you were alone did you. Sounds more like you were using your tooth fairy for your caddy.

Did you even read my post or did you not understand it?

I clearly state my dislike for PTP yet you claim the exact opposite. Although I disagree with your love of dictatorships, your posts are usually of a higher standard than this. This borders on a deliberate troll

ps. No one would dare invade Thailand as their military has never lost a war

More jobs for the boys. Anyone who thinks any of this will lead to democracy probably believes in the tooth fairy

And anyone who thinks that Thailand is ready for a democracy likely believes in Santa Claus.

They are "different". And they are "uneducated". And they are "stubborn". They constantly vote for the "wrong" party. They should be "governed" by a wise soldier, who knows what is best for them. Until they show the world that they improved themselves by not making any "wrong" political statements or demands. Then, and only then, one can give them a tiny little bit of freedom. Right?

No, they are just like folks in every other country.

Some are stupid, some are smart, etc...

Here's the thing.

Thailand has been a Monarchy (of one type or another) for centuries.

That is what Thai people are used to.

When you give people political power usually corruption wins out.

It has taken America over 200 years and they still barely manage 'their' democracy.

It is very much the same in countries.

Iran comes to mind for example.

Education and a change in people's thinking must occur for a true democracy to work.

That takes time.

Thailand has been trying democracy and look where that has got us so far.

Not a very good place I'm afraid.

I agree that democracy by, of and for the people is the best for any and every country.

But, if the country as a whole can't handle it yet there is some work to be done.

Get it kap ?

P.S The attitude that you are projecting onto me is wrong.

You don't know me so please don't try and read my mind, thanks.

So what makes you think that the military can provide proper leadership and not be like every other military dictatorship in history?

Do you honestly think the military cares about the people of Thailand and are not guilty of corruption too?

I am not having a go at you, I just want your honest thoughts

You might want to consider using the plastic board (Fortune Board? Future Board?) that looks like corrugated cardboard, folding it into triangles slightly wider than the body of the guitar, and surrounding the guitar with these before you send it. This is the method that C.F. Martin suggests (but using cardboard) for sending their guitars back. Besides taking up the space and weighing almost nothing, the engineering principle insures that nothing can crush the guitar accidentally.

Corflute

They also use it for real estate signs so it is easy to find

ps. Have you considered recreational drugs, they pay for themselves regardless of the weight

Good, the further we can develop relations with our neighbors including Russia the less we have to depend on the yanks and their outdated technology.

Thailand, the land of tech & inventions!

Surely you mean the HUB

And people get upset when I say a degree from a Thai uni is worthless. You can get good grades by shopping at 7-11 and yet we are suppose to compare these to real universities.

The hub of quality education

Trying to find the cheapest pork may end up costing more than you realise. We are not in Kansas you know...

I will gladly pay extra for refrigerated meat and save on toilet paper

We like to cover the big issues here on TV

So many positive comments here, are they cynical or wise

I hope this pathetic excuse of a man spends many years in jail getting the crap beaten out of him for this cowardly action.

I hope the soon to be ex wife recovers and can lead a normal life. So sad that domestic violence is still common all round the world

Another claim of being the best in the world without any thing to back this up

Wake up Thailand, outside of prostitution, you are no where near number 1 in any industry
