just for nothing to remember the last time if the general allows the companies and so on to rise the price for the products etc far higher again than the wage goes up, to make even more higher net profits as by now. and by now means the net profits are far over the clouds. btw best known and number one in the world with such a behavior are the companies from usa "teaching" thai business people and others with the "good" example.

I'm glad to hear that the "happiness to the people" campaign is alive and kicking.

All the Thai employers, will be over the moon after hearing this.

I'm not against raising the minimum wages but first wait and see how the economy is progressing and then put through populist suggestions.

What can happen is, there will be no enterprises left to pay not only the minimum wages but any wages at all.

i cry for this companies with net profits far over the clouds while exploiding the staff with a more than miserable salary of only 300 baht a day and a 60 hour working week if i were a thai.... gasoline and bye bye, specialy with all the farang companies leader to eploid the thais.

He is banned to travel to the U.S. still. But because the UN is in New York he will be allowed to travel to NY and no where else. He will also be banned to any formal US- Thailand meetings. It's the same as the other dictatorship, re: Iran, Libya, Venezuela ect...

I'm trying to think of how you could be more wrong in that many words, and I can't. Start to finish, it's a classic. He isn't banned, he can travel where he wants. There won't BE any US meetings for him to attend and it's not the same as the three countries you mention - individually or collectively. All wrong.

There are no US sanctions against the members of the junta, their friends or family. There are no US sanctions against Thailand. Official relations are cool without doubt. Some military deals have been, er, "delayed". But no sanctions exist against the country or its directors, whether in or out of jackboots.

I got a kick out of the "he can't figure out why no one got the joke" post. It *is* ironic that the only person marching in step is General Failure and everyone else is out of step. Great metaphor, that.

I'm not wrong at all. And I believe Australia has imposed the same ban too. And Prayut knows it. But he is allowed to go to NY for the UN assembly as any other leader of a country, but he will not be able to travel anywhere else in the US.

Ah, so you have a copy of the US sanctions order, or some official statement about it. Well, let's see it. Put up or, sir. Let me repeat, so that you can post the official order and make me look really, really foolish and wildly uninformed simply by proving the following to be wrong:

There are no US sanctions against Thailand or Prayut. Gen Prayut is entirely free, as of today, to go to the US and travel wherever he might like to travel.

stupid people think venezuela is a dictatorship. is a enemy from the terror state usa because venezuela has a socialistic goverment and is a proud part of the free world countrys. i was living there from 1994 till 2008 and know exactly how the usa trying since years to plott a coup against this goverment denying being a slave from the usa. before venezuela i was living in the caribbeans islands of barabados, st. vincent, trindad&tobago and grenada till the usa bombed out the legal elected also socialistic goverment from grenada and ordered to kill maurice bishop wich was the elected president of grenada in this time. .

check out the company nestle and other drinking water companies and the strong ties with some members of the military goverment and you know all about it. its about the big business selling drinking water and make billions with it.

this means thailand don´t need democracy but a good goverment for the rich bloodsuckers of the yellows.

Very good chance he would NOT be allowed in the U.S. By definition, a military coup is supposed to be a stop-gap TEMPORARY situation, not a permanent solution. The U.S. has been quite clear on their disapproval of his dragging this coup on with no ACTUAL end in sight. He is not considered a leader, evidenced my Australia's ban on giving him a visa and the U.S. sending NO ONE of any importance to lend credibility to his ill gotten, self-appointed status.

hahaha you are really a big joker. the terror state usa did working all time with dictaturs all over the world and some of them got to the power because the usa was the plotter of the coup for them.

This guy could be a network hub for global terrorists. It should motivate the Thais to launch a full scale investigation and shake him down for his Thai big men connections.

i don´t think he was working for the terror state usa with the terroristic goverment numer one in the world and as the biggest threat and danger for the free world

i don´t like him at all but just a great idea from this general. and i would not only ban the citizens of the terror state usa wich is the biggest threat and danger for the free world from traveling outside. i would put all diplomats, members of the actual and previous goverment behind bar for war criminals, coup plotters, founders of the north atlantic terror organisation (nato) founders of islamistic terror organisations (is, al quaida), spys, mass murders and so on behind bars wherever i could get them.

i would not joke. i really would ban all from the terror state usa from traveling outside the usa till they have a real democratic goverment..and diplomats and the members of the actual goverment of the usa including previous goverment menbers i would put behind bars for being war criminals, spys, torturer, mass murders, for plotting military coups, founder of islamistic terror groups and so on.

all this is great but what if you run a business, have a WP and hire the 4 thai workers to do what?

then you're hit with more salary, social, holidays etc.

NAH!

if to pay this incredible exploidet thai workers at least 500 baht a day hit you...... i wish they find some gasoline to heat up your business.

for people like them and all the other rich including the clan from the feudalistic system (all together called the yellows) the thai military dictatorship is ruling while the ordinary thai worker get exploidet with a very miserable "salary" just enough to survive from only 300 baht a day and a 60 hour working week without having at least a good health system. but not only from thais. farang companies down to the small farang small business owner make the same. no wonder in thailand is communism forbidden :-D

fits perfect the terror state usa and this dictatorship in thailand as do the good friendship from the usa with the allies from them in the barbaric islamistic dictatorships in the arabian league. js great to have friends and allies like them hahahaha

IMO this has nothing to do with religion, superstition or even feet. it has to do with respect. The person was a visitor to this country, thus he has to show respect to Thai culture. What would y'all say if someone would do something like this in, let's say, a church in the USA, GB or wherever. The same outrage would occur I am certain. So just show respect and decent courtesy while visiting (or living in) another country.

atheists stay above things like this. i only would smile like buddha if he could see something like this :-D

btw don´t forget the christian history not only in the time of the inquisitation. christians are still numer one in the world killing inocent people day for day.. example the terror state usa and his helpers in the nato (nord atlantik terror organisation) all of them called christians hahaha

"sacred prayer bell" tells all about the thais made a religion from buddhism. but for every real buddhist buddhism is never a religion. therefore can a bell never be sacred. its just a bell nothing else wich sounds nice or not. funny too is the king of thailand is the head of the buddhist in thailand. anyhow buddha would smile too about this if he could see it.

buddha would only smile about this. he vever said is forbidden kick bells with the feets as far i know. and he never told buddhism is a religion as it is in thailand. but thais are always right, knowing even more than buddha did :-D

funny to read this knowing the average exploidet thai get only a miserable salary from about 9000 baht a month. and this people can spend almost 18000 baht only for this celebration of the chines new year. perhaps they got this money from rich yellows and farang companies stealing it before from them and get back a little bit of the cake :-D

And people are saying we did not need a coup..... Seems the military is the only one who can keep the police in check.

you should come to phuket to see how the military takes money to from all kind of mafia, specialy tuk tuk, taxi, jetski mafia and the owners of night live places open till 6 or 7 am day for day :-D

Excellent stuff - just goes to show what can be done if the will to do it is there.

Yes, excellent stuff......unheard before under the previous governments.

But with this government, things have changed and the law is taken seriously.

Even for 1 month, Living in Kata, shows the good intentions of the government......next time the scammers will be put in jail.

yes, a very good goverment of a military dictatorship fillings they pockets even worser and more than any legal goverment before and let good paid from all kind of mafia do what they like to do. looks like you don´t understand the meaning beetween a order to shot down this business or the order to close down the business by them self what means is voluntary.. therefore i guess you one of the yellow lovers, wich are the same breed of money suckers in thailand. and for them the military dictatorship rules.

sounds like a lie because no german can ever got really broken. thanks to the "grundsicherung" he would get with his age at least about 400 euro every month and money to pay rent for a flat in spite of the very bad hard core capitalistic goverment under merkel, called in germany the bitch of the rich

The guy, during martial law, rattied out a high rank military official. Be careful, the army has specia powers. This is Thailand not the US.

you mean for sure he could be lucky for not living in the terror state number one in the world, the usa with a goverment killing thousends of inocent people year for year all over the world

You are hoping that your tears will touch the hearts of the judges.

You are very wrong.

People have waken up and know who you are and the damage you caused in this country.

Your time is up.

Time to pay for your crimes against Thailand.

And I really hope and wish that this is the last time we hear from you or your criminal brother.

hahaha, i love to laugh. really a great joke from you hahahaha

funny news seeing the high rising numbers from the last 2 months of russians going now to the caribbean or phillipine islands and other places. therefore is not for lack of money but get better value and service. thailand is simply out for the russians as it is for many other nations :-D

I agree with you, i am not American, i am British,i am certainly not trying to justify torture but i am pointing out that we shouldn't just be pointing fingers at the Americans.

You're absolutely right. The United States has drawn a lot of criticism for its practices in this regard, but they are far from alone, unfortunately. However, I think we expect a lot more from the US and other western countries when it comes to respecting basic human rights and conventions. Maybe one day the United Nations and NATO will actually hold their members to an acceptable standard. If not perhaps we'll see more of individual countries like Italy sending messages like this one: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/04/cia-guilty-rendition-abu-omar

as you did mention italy....perfect, than i remember the cia in italy blowing up the central train station in bologna, italy, some years ago with the help of the secret servie from italy. in this blow up they killed more than 300 inocent people. the goal was to avoid that italy becomes a left wing goverment. than the countless "false flag attaks from the cia and far more than 50 wars and ohter military inventions since ww2 from the usa to bring some countys "democracy". example chile with alliende, puting the right wing dictator pinochet in power the invasion of grenada.... its a very bloody track if you see the history of the usa. i would be ashamed as an us citizen to defend this terror state usa and all his allies. from europe over israel to the islamistiic dictarships in the arabean leage and other places in the world, like canada, australia and so on. therefore i call the nato together with many other people: north atlantic terror organisation.
