off topic, why, all of a sudden am I being titled "newbie" above my avatar when I've been here about 9 years for my sins?

Pimps and perverts doesn't have the same ring to it.

Unless they limit the visa exempt of 90 days to say only one per year. Just saying because none of us know yet, You can guarantee that those basically using every trick in the book now to stay here without the correct permits/visas will jump on this. Border runs will be back on the table big time.

I don't follow their politics that much because it's a waste of space, but I thought I read somewhere that Prayut had loaded the Senate with certain posts that had to be given to the military and the Senate had to have so many seats reserved for the military?.

But how do you get the present Senate out of power? That's the main issue here.

or standing by his mandate and principles some might say

Not following this 100%. The only way there could be the scam is that the 60% deposit gets lost to a non existent wine company?

They've brought in Batman, so it shouldn't take long to resolve.

Well, Walking street needs to take note, what will they do now with runaway pick ups and no power poles to stop them.

He's the mayor of Pattaya not King Canute.

I am not sure about that, Did he expect the job? The top job usually goes to the cop who has only a year or maximum two to go before retirement. That puts that Big joke in the bracket as a bit young for the job I would say. Dunno,maybe I am wrong.

Watching both the video and reading the full story this creep is harassing the young girl. She told him very clearly on at least three times she wasn't interested. I don't agree with another poster saying this is how we all used to behave as youngsters, This isn't the same as sending a drink over in a bar or introducing yourself in a public space. He wasn't taking no for an answer and could have been worse in the darker hours.

Did you know him?

The main objective has got to be for any party to run a civilian democratically elected government properly is to get those dinosaurs out of the Senate or they will just continue blocking any moves forward for the country that doesn't suit them or their agenda. It's a total, complete, corrupt mess.

He must have got the feeling he was home and dry after fifteen years! Ah well, Mr Karaoke, time to face the music!

Me for one! Next time I will tell people with tall stories that they are talking a load of urea!

It looks to me and its certainly occurred to the OP with comment's about " too sore " but haven't done anything and up till 2am allegedly on the phone elsewhere when she says she is studying, that he thinks something is amiss here. Trust your gut feeling. Never mind the romance.????

I was thinking that, in her twenties going on 14 in her brain. The writing is already on the wall and the bleating of " But I really. Like her " is just somebody setting themselves up for a fall.

The Move forward party, the peoples choice would have been a refreshing change if they had managed to ' clean ship ' of all Prayut's cronies, an uphill battle. Their ideas and objectives were well meaning but sadly the will of the people means nothing to these lot in power nor to the next lot coming in to take their place. The country is a basket case in terms of government.

This is why past prime ministers fight like hell and have to be ushered out the door, because they are well aware that there will be a flurry of lawsuits for their misdeeds once the new government gets established. The problem for any future government, as well as it being a coalition, is Prayut has done a good job loading the senate with cronies and generals to try to block any charges of wrong doing levied against him

I've had a case myself of one of the local BIB has lost his marbles and seeks me out. When I was drinking I could be found at the local mom and pop shop having a beer whilst waiting for food that was getting done at the BBQ stand next door. The cop knew this and used to zoom in on me, it used to get a bit embarrassing when he would stand in the street and salute me. He was always asking for a couple of separate cigarettes ( the shop still sells them like that ) or a bottle of milk or a coke, nothing major. He was turning up every day. It's small money, but he just wouldn't go away. I've stopped drinking so I am managing to avoid him now. Everybody knows he's not well. I told my other half that this guy also was still wearing uniform and carrying a gun, she said not to worry they don't allow him to load it with bullets. True story.

My cousin did it recently in the UK after he succumbed to cancer. I'd never heard nor thought about it.

I'm with you on this, surely leaky roof is for the owner and just short of 700,000 baht buys a helluva lot of furniture. You could have it handmade to measure for a lot less than that.

It is true that people can be taken outside from the Medical corrections hospital when they don't have the equipment ore facilities to care for them properly. They of course do not appoint six doctors to take care of their well being nor do they use a helicopter for the transportation.

It isn't the fact that he is getting preferential treatment as an ex prime minister and controversial character , it's the fact that they are denying it, when it's as plain as the nose on your face. Those walking around waving placards as token resistance to this treatment need to stop wasting their energy.
