"Martial law teaches us we are too immature to deal with real political differences, so censorship is needed. Martial law reminds us we're incapable of deciding the fate of Thai politics by ourselves and have to rely on armed soldiers whose power rests on the brute force of machine-guns and armoured vehicles."

NO! THAIS ARE NOT IMMATURE, they will be able to show it when the country will be a full free democracy.

"The army has ordered protest groups to remain at their respective sites and remain peaceful"

I was right.

Obvious double standard is a suicide for the Royalists.

A monk ? Which monk? Ah, the bully in his orange dress.

Well, I'm not sure Thais are good at striking.

In France we are => if the boss of the factory wishes to change the vegetables at the canteen we'll strike for 3 weeks.

Same for demonstrations. Suthep he had what? 10,000? at the best 100,000.

In France, when a mayor wants to modify red lights in a city, 10,000 people demonstrate.

if a minister is just suspected to modify the teachers vacations, this is 200,000.

And against the gay marriage, 2 millions.

Thais are small players at strikes and demonstrations.

Maybe the hit to their meagre pay packets is another reason.....

Most Thais just want to make a living.......but, they have shown that they'll demonstrate.....but need to be paid :

I forgot => of course we'll strike and demonstrate to get our salaries from the boss for the days we don't work due to strike. Well, we'll not ask bonus, in that case.

Thongchai Winichakul a professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. wrote something for Al Jazeera. Title is

Google it. I don't give the link because the text is extremely hard against the so-called Royalists.

"Neutral PM" is a joke. It means Neutral means pro-aristocracy.

The last neutral persons in Thailand are the Alzheimer patients.

She is ugly and stupid => she got her title from the Senate Speaker.

“After getting treatment and drinking some beverages, such as Coke and milk, [they] are getting better,” Narin said.

OMG!

"We treated some kids with Pepsi but they did not recovered yet." Narin said

"Coke the drink of the fainting novices".

"In Cambodia, we don't have suitable drinks for tired monks, we have to import them. Well, Coke is the future of Buddhism."

"US company with professed high ethical standards" is an oxymoron.

just kidding

Chevron's boss declared: "We cannot give more to our Cambodian employees than what we give in the USA where the average salary is $115 / month".

"Meanwhile, Phra Buddha Issara said he would postpone his rally scheduled for May 18 calling for power to be returned to His Majesty the King." what does it mean?

ARMY

No plans to crack down on red shirts: Army division chief

PANYA THIOSANGWAN

THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- THE ARMY'S First Division, King's guard chief Maj Gen Apirat Kongsompong yesterday denied setting up a taskforce in preparation for a crackdown on red-shirt protesters.

This was in response to an announcement at the red-shirt rally site on Aksa Road by United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) chairman Jatuporn Prompan that the Army was planning to crack down on the protesters and urged them to turn out in larger numbers.

Jatuporn claimed that the First Army Division had been told to suppress the red shirts in the same way as they were in 2010.

However, Apirat said the Centre for Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) had ordered his division to ensure security on Aksa Road and take care of the protesters.

He added that troops from the 9th Infantry Division were deployed to guard the crowds.

An Army source said Jatuporn was using this an excuse to encourage more red shirts to join the rally, which kicked off on Saturday.

Meanwhile, CAPO's Tarit Pengdith said yesterday it was clear that members of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) had invaded Government House by cutting the chain and climbing over the fence without the military's consent.

The CAPO, military and police officers will hold a press conference on the issue today.

Separately, Colonel Banphot Poonpien, spokesman for the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), said the agency was still waiting for an answer from the Election Commission and Council of State as to who will take over as ISOC director now that Yingluck Shinawatra has been dismissed.

As for the request to see if Robert Amsterdam, a Canadian lawyer who represents former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, is affecting Thailand's security, Banphot said this matter should be taken to the Immigration Police or Interior Minister. Amsterdam was seen delivering a speech at the red-shirt rally stage.
