Just 5.7 per cent believed that legal procedures were carried out justly and transparently

perhaps this represents the percentage of poll respondents who, by  virtue of their standing, expect preferential treatment by the Justice process

There is no way around the ethical lapses here

Such a talented General and Prime Minister ....

Neither title chosen by the Thai people

I do hope the police assign diligent and competent officers to investigate.

These poor little souls deserve to have the police provide real detective work

Just tell the media what they need to know.  Khun Prayut and the Junta are doing what is required to keep Thailand and it's economy ticking over. Controlled and orderly to dispel any fraction fighting between parties.  Thailand hasn't been so good for a long time and most thais are aware of this.  While Khun Prayut is at the helm there is no issue with violence and insecurity as there was back when yingluck was trying to run the country ... but without success.

 

Ummm,no violence? I recall there were bombings in multiple cities, continued murders in the south and several arrested suspects who ended up dead in their cells. I suspect you are suffering from “magical thinking”

An Army General, a “Prime Minister”, and a songwriter walk into a bar...

and the bartender says...

Maybe, he was only “borrowing” the animals? The guns were just loaners. Do not rush to judgment. 

Incidents, such as these, demonstrate the importance of zoning laws and building codes and inspection. There is no excuse for heavy industry to be located where there are insufficient fire controls. 

Perhaps the delay is to allow the PM to satisfy the election deadline he already missed. There was to be registration 180 days prior to the election and that deadline elapsed without his registration. Now by tacking on an additional 90 days, he can correct his failure to register to run in the polls. 

When you make the rules it becomes quite easy to satisfy them. 

Democracy by any other name is not democracy. It is by it's very definition, something else.

Without sinking to the level of insults on personal appearances, I think allowing a resignation upon a guilty verdict is far far to generous. Upon being found guilty (which seems unlikely do to the personal connections involved), the General, should face severe punishment and loss of pension. 

I fear we will never discover the truth in this matter.

She will wait for his release? Love is deaf, dumb and blind.

Big pharma needs to sell meds, so they now come to Thailand and try to hook a million kids on amphetamines. I spent 30 years on that crap and it left me in terrible shape. Amphetimines in the morning and sleeping pills at night (the Judy Garland Plan) and it was recipe for disaster and more and more drugs made things worse. The problems all disappeared after stopping these awful meds.  It is sad to see the profit hungry pharmaceutical makers trying to ply their crap here.

Most men dont mind looking at females bottoms .

Most men dont want to see other mens bottoms .

I would find the act of two females showing their bottoms at a temple to be offensive as well , although I would enjoy looking at them

Most men think themselves attractive 

most men think women want to see their penis

most men think people want to have sex with them

most men are wrong

Maybe you could actually write what you mean ?

You can’t expect that to be a possibility. That would take all the fun out of being a troll. Just leave the old troll in London to his proclamations about Thailand so he feels relevant. It is, likely, all he has.

Far Ggots  sake . These botty boys should be skewered up the ass with a sharp pole and hung from the top of Wat Arun . Disgraceful behaviour .

And you would prescribe the same treatment if the offender, in your mind, was a beautiful woman? Of course after you ogled the photos

Because if you criticize these American Gay men for their behavior  then you are Anti-Gay.  Then one is accused of "Hate Speech".  It is one of the unintended results of Political Correctness.  This kind of behavior would not be tolerated at any American Monument but once again many are hesitant to criticize because of the potential backlash.  

That is a stretch. There hasn’t seemed to be any hesitation by either Thais or  farang to criticize their behavior. It would seem you are simply attempting to normalize your bigotry

...and it just keeps pouring onto the beach daily. 

We were there the other day on our way to the Hua Hin ferry pier. The site was full of workers, but only 2 or 3 seemed to have been tasked. Maybe some oversight might encourage participation?

Guilty? Yes guilty of not granting herself article 44 powers so she answers to no one.

It isn’t only Pattaya, all of thailand is filling up with trash and litter.

The problem is really out of control. It is time the government stops in with a campaign to clean up Thailand. Bike for mom is fun catchy little PR stunt, but really, wouldn’t it be more effective and longer lasting to clean up Home for mom?

It is ironic that by making such comments, you are of course one of them.

But I didn't ignore your post until it was too late.

Eyeroll, making my point for me. 

enormous eyeroll and headshake

The compassion expressed by the commentary of members is underwhelming and sad. Over and over it is the same. 

Perhaps it is best to just read the news and ignore,the mostly, embittered, opinionated and bigoted members.
