Sad story. RIP

Made even more sad, that in relation to the OP description:

Pornpan was found dead by her father yesterday at the home she lived with Mannen in Nakhon Pathom province. Police estimated she had been dead more than three days.

Comes the Thai news that her corpse was already infested with maggots when it was discovered by her father after that relatively brief time frame.

and also take your incomplete, out of context, off-topic ramblings elsewhere, also.

Totally off-topic. And why must the 'red' truth always be so far away from 'the' Truth...?

The truth is not easy to find since it's banned in Thailand. Everyone agrees with that.

In Thailand, you can only read what they want you to read.

Thailand's 'free press ranking' fell 100 places recently. You will go to jail (and probably die) if you print or read the correct material.

Have you read the 3,000 Wikileak emails and associated book?

The most explosive story in a decade and totally ignored in the Thai press.

More calamitous, incomplete, out of context, off-topic ramblings following earlier deletions of same.

Topic:

US Ambassador to Thailand Kristie Kenney announces leaving Thailand

“The judges [during Thaksin’s 2007 in absentia conviction] were specifically appointed from a small group of people whose qualifications were based upon their antipathy to Thaksin,” adding that Thaksin “never had any independent review of the allegations.”

They can't help themselves.

Washington has already blocked $4.7 million in security-related aid to Thailand

But more significantly, the U.S. has made it clear that significant progress toward elections must be seen if next year’s high-profile Cobra Gold exercises are to go ahead."

A tiny, paltry amount of money compared to the overall trade which totals tens of billion of dollars.

btw, Cobra Gold (and it's 16,000 military personnel) DID go ahead.

Nothing of true significance and, as said, diplomatic.

Take your empty posturing elsewhere.

Yes she did.

The US embassy celebrated the July 4 Independence Day Thursday night but without the presence of any Thai military leaders.

Nonsense.

Oh, such a powerfully dramatic political statement that was.... not invited to a hot dog roast. I'm sure the junta was emotionally crushed by that.

2/3 of the country arnt just going to disappear, they will adapt and wait.

2/3???

It's an unsupported pie-in-the-sky claim from someone not here.

the alleged murderer and his victim and their business

From what i hear , his greatest worry will be either another general staging a revolt while he travels overseas .

Or being targeted by one of the many international agencies (like CIA_ MI5 ) who want him out off the way.

Is the Bedrock Bugle your source for this information, Fred?

The fugitive Red Shirt/Deputy House Speaker has died:


BANGKOK: -- Former House speaker Apiwan Wiriyachai has died of lung infection in Philippines, red-shirt leader Shinawat Haboonpad posted on his Facebook page.

"Red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan said he was not surprised that neither red-shirt supporters nor members of Pheu Thai Party were appointed NRC members because his group had refused to join in the first place."

Talk about stating the obvious, or is Jatuporn disappointed that even though the UDD refused to join no one of them were appointed against their will ?

Classic Jatuporn thought process....... non-existent.

Far be it from me to suggest that not all the nonsense posts have been removed, but hey that's life.

Lucky you're not the chief moderator. Otherwise we'd only ever see posts praising Thaksin the Innocent, the highly capable democratic family of the people lovingly known as the Shin clan and their assorted collection of lackies, errand boys and thugs r us.

But of course, anything that doesn't kow tow to the great Shin con must be nonsense.

Amen.

It doesn't how minor a matter is, or how stupid the story, if something involves the red shirts, you can guarantee one of the usual suspects will write a post to try and make political capital out of it.

Classic example: the recent

jatuporn-cancels-birthday-celebration-planned-by-red-shirt-core-members

Somehow I fail to understand what Jatuporn's cancelled birthday party has to do with a red buffalo sticker

Anyway, with my ZXQ mobile I (obviously) don't use LINE. Is there anyone out here, who uses it and did have a quick look at other available stickers ?

It's fairly easy, rubl, what you have to do is to read the sentence before the link and then things will become clear - I'll give you a bit of help, the word "example" refers to the previous sentence, as in an example of posters trying to make political capital out of a minor matter. There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Oh, wait a minute, that's not you doing your off topic thing is it?

Don't tell me you were trying to make a statement from which you hoped to make political capital? Stressing the faults you see in others while doing the same?

As for off topic, so far so good I'd say. We're still discussing 'red buffaloes'. That is as far as I understand of course

Originally, red buffalo (kwai daeng) was a nickname used to insult supporters of the Redshirt movement, as buffalos are considered a symbol of stupidity in Thai culture.

An apt description of Jatuporn for sure

It doesn't how minor a matter is, or how stupid the plan, if something goes wrong for the reds it was someone else's fault. Usually a yellow, or a fake yellow, or a fake red.

I am not a fan or supporter of red shirts, but
