Who cares what a corrupt party and their terrorist outfit have to contribute to Thailand's future charter.

They won't be sticking by any of its articles anyway when the time comes (unless the articles suit their agenda at the time).

They have a habit of going against the charter and then calling up certain articles to protect themselves at a later date.

I would be amazed if UNESCO are anything other than extremely pissed off for Thailand's public announcement that it plans to exploit the UNESCO World heritage accreditation for nothing more than what amounts to cheap profiteering from their endorsement.

Another stupid plan that will fizzle out to nothing.

Also their tourism figures are once again highly skewed.

No way will they hit 25 million this year, many on here including myself has seen a huge drop in tourist numbers. My last three trips to swampy have seen it empty by comparison to what it was before this year. Also my last few trips to Patts has seen a remarkeble decline there too.

if all reporting correct sounds like a right loser what a tosser

I would not say these were the actions of a drunk person.

These actions are much more in line with someone who is totally mentally ill.

I have never known a degree of drunkeness that would compell anyone to do that. The alcohol required to engage in such a blatant crime is way more than enough to render you totally unconscious.

Is it possible that this is a counteraction story concocted to balance out the attempted rape of the Venezuelan girl in Kiri Khan?

Sorry but this just seems far too bizarre to be true.

Edit: Also a single set of zip ties around his upper body.... anyone could tear themselves away from that no problem, lots of strength in your upper body.

Not convinced.

About as convincing as the 'hate Thailand' video. Packed full of lies directly from TAT. (Before anyone tries to tell me the Thai authorities don't generate BS propaganda to suit their needs).

There won't even be an impeachment. Too much infiltration into the NLA by a certain figure.

However there will be a criminal case and I can see it ending with a very mild sentence, but enough to ever have her back in politics because of a criminal conviction.

Job done, but once again Thailand loses and the money won't be coming back.

Not a prediction but just a leaning towards thinking that Mr Putin is heading down a very dangerous path that could eventually lead to conflict with the west, something that doesn't bear thinking about, is he going to lead the world into what could amount to a 3rd world war - the man IMO is a lose cannon and a compulsive liar

I think that is a misinformed interpretation of the current situation.

Putin is already being pushed and prodded by the west.

The US clearly wants a confrontation because they know their currency is about to be wiped out by Russia and China and the middle east. But the US wants to fight the battle in someone else's backyard and the EU are happy to kiss butt to let it happen.

This is merely Putin giving a well deserved middle finger to the so called world police.

If someone wants to help out N Korea.... what business is it of anyone else?

If it was the EU or the US making this statement of having discussions with N Korea, then everybody would be saying 'great to see fractures are healing'.... But because it is Russia, we get the narrow minded comment as above.

If anyone is a danger to the world peace it is the USA and their dangerous foreign policy.

The people of N Korea are suppering and they need food aid etc..... But all they get from the west is sanctions.

As for Putin finding a friend..... He has plenty with China and the middle east, all powerful nations that the US are desperate to be able to control.

The USD is in its death throws regarding its place as the global reserve currency.

Returning to the gold standard will be the last stand for the Dollar.

Once significant amounts of USD have been offloaded for gold it will start a domino topple as other countries scramble to swap USD for gold before it becomes almost valueless.

Then the whole US economy will collapse.

Many already know the Federal Reserve is lying about what gold they have left. It is a lot less then they say and China has up to 5 times the amount they say.

Jail terms?...... Well known families?

Don't make me laugh.

Britain gets nowt from Thailand.

It's a one way street.

Of course the PM will lie.

As far as I can see from the river system in the North East (Nissan) the water drains back towards the Mekong and drank down that river system.

It is good news that the Govt will spend 100 Million Baht on the waterways in this area but really its the North that needs more control of water.

The North or Chiang Mia way is where a lot of water comes from that drains down through the Bangkok area.

One of the biggest dams in the northeast is down to only 25% of capacity of usable water and is dropping by the day.

Probably the largest tract of agricultural land in the country.

They will see no rain probably till the next rainy season and that has been tipped to be a drought same as this year or worse thanks to el nino.

Typical of the Thai government... wait till it is too late before fixing it, and throwing money at a problem that will mostly be stolen. Fixing irrigation is not going to solve anything if there is no water around to run through it.

Also how much are they willing to flood fields with when everyone needs the water for much more important uses?

They love to throw public money at a problem because it facilitates massive corruption. They need money flowing for their own benefits.

this is not about chasing away foreign businesses but protecting Thai ones.

What a load of old bol****s

Any Thai involvement with a firm that has a 49% foreign ownership is completely inert 99% of the time.

It is technically the foreigners business. The Thai side is a begrudged aspect to be able to register here at all.

So nothing to protect as far as Thais go.

More like facilitating the ability for the Thai side to take full control and end up stealing the business away from the foreigner.

This is going to bite them in the ass big time.

I thank my lucky stars that I am 100% trading under the radar. No tax, No regulation, Squirrel all the cash I can out of the country so that one day I can sell up and get out of this crap hole and start up my dream business somewhere a lot less ridiculous.
