Absolutely right on both points. He is a puppet. He was always going to be shafted by Thaksin, clearing the way for a Shinawatra takeover. However, Thaksin is not liked in establishment circles, will likely over-estimate his importance as he did previously, and find himself on the way back to Dubai sooner or later.

Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
To say that the decriminalisation of cannabis is ' turning Thailand's youth into a bunch of stoners' is ignorant, stupid and totally untrue. -

Not sure this post has anything to do with influencers however the serious problem of under-age trafficking is complicated by young people physically maturing earlier and earlier, and appearing older than their really are. -

Good point. Jumping from a low floor means you hit the ground quickly with not much time to regret what you are doing, but more likely to be badly damaged than dead. Jumping from a high floor insures you will be dead when you hit the ground, but with more time to think about it as you're going down. I would prefer to shoot myself.

'E-cigarettes' may be classified as a drug
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The Thaksin effect. When the creep was in office he instituted a, so- called, war on drugs. Over two thousand people were shot dead, many of them entirely innocent. He should have faced criminal justice, but finished up running away to exile in Dubai. -

The original Queen's Castle on Patpong 1 was, in my opinion, the best bar in Bangkok in the 1970/1980s. It was voted the best bar in Asia, and possibly the world, by Time magazine. Great girls, great service, great fun.

Which Side Will Thailand Choose?
Thingamabob replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Taiwan is a part of China ? That tells us all we need to know about you and your affiliations. While Taiwan has at different times been occupied by Portugal, China and Japan it is today an independent island with a thriving economy. The Chinese claim that it is Chinese territory is entirely bogus. -
Which Side Will Thailand Choose?
Thingamabob replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In answering your question it is likely that Thailand will try to stay neutral but will likely be betrayed by its' pro-Chinese politicians. Worth remembering that it was the USA who saved Thailand from world-wide recriminations following Thailand's cooperation with Japan during WW2, and it was the USA who then supported Thailand militarily and financially thereafter. -
