One of the suspects, Thanakorn Siripaiboon was also charged with LM for defaming the Royal Dog Thong Daeng. See this link:

...any chance that it was taken out of context.....and badly translated.....
...because it does seem that nowadays.....if anyone is offended in any way....they might face such extreme 'reactions'....
...as a general statement is is merely a reflection of events that have taken place recently....
...to suggest that he would have been making such a statement as a 'threat' to the opposition....or to intimidate them....
...sounds like the infantile hogwash that is being paid for by the 'sore losers'.....
No chance it was taken out of context or badly translated. I saw the video and read the text. It was a threat. Why else should Thai academics protest?
-
Prayut said something more what the Nation does not (want to) report. I am not allowed to write something in Thai here but this is a translation from the Matichon newspaper today. He spoke about the protesting academics, then he blew up and said in an angry voice (I saw the video too), warning the academics: 'They (the academics) could be shot at or blown up by bombs.'
He is always angry, intimidating and using foul language. If you use his kind of language with a stranger you get beaten up. Between friends it's OK.

Asking for donations for building the Rachaphakde ('Loyalty to the King') Park by the good general was exactly the same as asking for money for 'Bike for Mom' and 'Bike for Dad' manifestations by the three accused of which two died. Why then were this three accused of lese majeste and general Udomdej not?

Seems like the fortune teller's health took a nasty turn for the worse and he passed away from septicemia in the prison hospital on Friday.
News now says he died Saterday evening. Yesterday an autopsy was done. The body was released to the family and immediately cremated in a Wat in Bang Seu.
The man who hanged himself while in custody a few days ago was also cremated hours after the body was released.

Sorry to see his free speech curtailed. His idea to fight fire with fire, speaking the same language as the Islamists, would have had a more positive effect on the peace process than appeasement. Bending over for these religious creeps does not work, it just emboldens them(if in doubt look to the N European models). No, they must be smacked, and smacked hard, every time they perpetrate violent acts in the name of their deity. Non violent solutions such as burning down mosques is a particularly savvy plan, in that when the mosques that bred and fomented the hate and rage no longer exist - the brainwashing will cease also. Win win.
Do you agree then that every time if a Buddhist kills a Muslim a Buddhist temple must be burned to the ground? If you don't agree then why not?
-
He is right....better than having some red mob burning downtown Bangkok again.
Better less democracy than deads on the street.
Most of the dead on the streets of Bangkok were caused by the military. Think October 1973 and 1976, May 1992 and April-May 2010. If I count the dead outside of Bangkok like the Red Drum Murders in Phatthalung 1965-1974 they go into the thousands.

Here a link to Prachatai about this story. The social media call this very murky and suspicious. The first report said he hanged himself from the bars on his window but the newsbulletin from the jail says he was in a windowless room.The arrested police officer "hanged himself" whilst in custody.
Reports from outside of Thailand state these three are all within the royalist / junta power clique with the now dead Police Major Prakrom Warunprapa having played a key role in the current administration on previous very well-publicised lese-majeste cases.
This has all the hallmarks of an internecine power struggle.
So, expect nothing in the way of real information in the mainstream press.
There is also a story that Mo Yong, the soothsayer, was first 6 days in military custody before he was arrested 2 days ago. Something is very rotten in the state of Thailand.
The wardens appointed to look after the welfare of LM cases in custody seem to have scope for improvement given the Police Major "hung himself" within 24 hours of arrest.It's only a year since a LM accused prisoner "fell" to his death from a window.
Draw your own conclusions.
The LM accused prisoner who 'fell' to his death a year ago was cremated the very same day he died. This was the time all the family (parents, uncle, brother-in-law, brothers and sisters) of ex princess Srirasmi was accused of LM, corruption and unusual wealth, very similar to this case. The man who 'fell' to his death was a business partner or secretary to this family.

When are Thais going to say enough is enough and rise up.[emoji35]
The country is ready for a Khmer Rouge cleanup, where rich and famous, police tops, military tops, politicans should be wiped out.
Thailand is heading for a Burma style governemt.
I doubt it : there are not many of the 'foaming at the mouth' communist revolutionary brigade. Their time passed several decades ago.
The Thais I know think the Junta are much better than the last lot of dirty cronies and everything I see is going roughly in the right direction. It can never change overnight : the only chance for the country is if democracy can get a toe-hold and expand from there.
I wonder how many people actually realise why LM is being enforced so strictly at this time ....
John, you really must stop making up stories to suit your agenda.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've read all year.
"The Thais I know think the Junta are much better than the last lot of dirty cronies"
I don't know where you gleaned this information from, but it certainly isn't from the villagers from the North of Thailand where I live.
I speak Thai, have lived here on and off for 39 years and I can say in all honesty that the Thais I know (many in business, and social circles) all agree that this Junta is just a front for the powerful aristocratic families that have ruled Thailand for the past hundred years or so.
I also travel widely in Thailand and make it my business to discuss current affairs with Thais I meet.
Almost without exception, (the exception being public servants and government salaried workers in Bangkok) they say this Junta was initially supported by powerful factions within the aristocracy.
The reason being that the redshirts didn't invite them into their new regime, almost excluding them from their positions of priviledge where they could use government to enrich themselves.
The reds weren't much better mind you, but at least they were breaking up the cosy cabals that have existed from the days of elephant parades.
All this propaganda, that you swallow with gusto, is laughed off by Thais, the social network of stories and rumours at village level, tell the real story of what Thais think.
I agree with the above story. I speak Thai fluently. If I ask Thais what they think about the current political and social situation many people say something like 'tong od thon' which means 'we have to endure it'. They compare it to a husband who is beating his wife but the wife isn't able to resist or to flee. When I ask 'Why not?' they make a shooting gesture from the hip.
One day the Thai will rise up, like they did in the past, and I hope this time there will be succeed in the long run.

There was a huge outcry when the last elected government wanted to amend the Constitution and make the Senate wholly elected in stead of half-elected and half-appointed. The Constitutional Court did strike the amendment down because 1.it would undermine Democracy with the King as Head of State 2. because a wholly elected Senate would have too many family as members.
Sometimes I don't know if I want to cry or to laugh.

I wounder what would happen if this country was attacked... after all, the army is in a new job now !
The army never succeeded in destroying communist centres of resistance in the Northeast, the North and the South in the period 1960-1980, they can't keep the peace in the South and they lost a short frontier war with Laos (somewhere to the north of Phitsanulok) in 1987-1988.
They are only good at one thing as shown by Thailand's history from 1932 to the present. A thing called bullying.

Thai PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) is the only really independent public broadcasting system in Thailand. All the other public broadcasting stations are either controlled by the military (Channel 5) or by the government. It is financed by the governmenty with no strings attached. It has no soaps and no advertisments. It's programming is the best of all stations, really public-minded and interesting subjects with sometimes daring programs as the one with Sulak Sivaraksa about Article 112. It is the only Thai television station I ever look at.
In the past year the military has warned Thai PBS to be 'more objective'. A reporter was suspended when she asked a group of normal ('grassroot') citizens about what they thought and felt concerning the junta.

In these YouTube video a mother and a father talk about the death of their sons at Thammasat University, the aftermath, the blaming of the victims ('they were all communists') and their fight for justice.

The latest cartoon of 'Sia' in the Thairath newspaper (October 2, one day before he was summoned) was as follows (I couldn't copy the picture here):
left up: a happy Prayut at the UN: 'The Thai government guards and protects all human rights. We are acting for a good future of the country'
right down: an angry Prayut, steaming from his ears, with the texts 'invite people for attitude adjustments' 'draft constitution allows him to postpone elections' 'economical problems' 'Reforms???'
left under two small mice: one 'He talks good but acts bad' the other: 'He promised to the world community....'

ERAWAN SHRINE
Hunt for Thai bomb suspect intensifies
The Nation October 2, 2015 1:00 am
Aod
Police have interviewed his mother and are attempting to confirm his identity
BANGKOK: -- POLICE have stepped up their investigation of a Thai man suspected of supplying the explosives used in the Erawan Shrine blast.
The suspect, Aod Payungwong, has no identity card despite standing trial several times and being convicted of a crime, it was revealed.
Police visited Siriraj Hospital yesterday to see if Aod's birth was registered there.
They had earlier visited Ban Banglamung elderly care centre in Chon Buri province to talk to Anong Payungwong, 61, Aod's mother. Aod is also known as Yongyut Pobkaew.
Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Hunt-for-Thai-bomb-suspect-intensifies-30270009.html
He is one of two Thais wanted in connection with the shrine blast, which killed 20 people and wounded more than 100 others on August 17. Police have issued 17 arrest warrants in the case, with most of the suspects being foreign.
Police General Somyot Poompan-muang, a former national police chief, said Aod did not have an identity card. A police source quoted Anong as saying she had not seen her son in about five years and he had stopped sending her money during that period.
The source said Anong told police she delivered Aod at Siriraj Hospital and registered the birth there, making it possible for him to acquire the 13-digit identity card, but that he failed to apply for the card at a district office.
"We want to confirm his identity and his nationality is that of a Thai citizen," the source said.
Aod did not know who his father was, he worked as a garbage collector and frequently moved from place to place, the source said. He had a son and a daughter who were adopted by an Australian couple.
Police previously linked him to explosions when protesters took to the streets against the Abhisit government and later the Yingluck government.
The suspicion that he may be involved in the blast has led police to believe that politics may have played a part in the attack. He was given a suspended jail term in an explosive-related case.
Police General Jakthip Chaijinda, the national police chief, said the investigation would continue despite the closure of a centre set up as part of the probe.
He said he would not make changes to the investigation team.
Two suspects have been arrested in the case while 15 others are at large.
Police Lt-General Sriwara Ransibrah-manakul, deputy national police chief, said police had enough evidence to link Aod to the case.

From what I see a lot of the poor are poor because the men waste money on cigarettes, gambling and whisky. So the wife and kids go without. The socialists should be calling for a ban on cigarettes and whisky and getting the police more active in shutting down gambling operations.
Brillant! New thinking! Let the poor stop smoking, drinking and gambling. Don't forget whoring though! Don't pity the poor, it's their own fault.
The rich of course can go on with all this expensive vices. Gambling in Macao, Cambodja and Myanmar. No problem. Do not tax the rich! They will have to abandon their vices which is bad for the economy.
Now, if the poor would just stop smoking, drinking and gambling, they will surely become rich in no time! Then, and only then, they can start smoking, drinking and gambling again!
Pattaya is a shining example of compassionate capitalism. Rich people throwing money at poor Isaan girls. That's the way to go. Down with socialism!
-
Good start. '...illegal workers and vices' Pattaya is next. Let's cleanse Thailand of all illegal workers and vices.
-
This is 'sufficiency economy'.
The defence budget (more than double now since 2006) is the only state budget never discussed or scrutinized in parlement, except for some extraordinary expenditures. The military gets the money and it is nobody's business what they do with it. The military is a state in the state, accountable only to themselves.

Most stories of Andrew Drummond about this case has been blocked by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. It shows clearly the lack of justice in Thailand and the evil power of the elite. What about a real revolution for Thailand? I lost my faith in gradual positive change.
-
So now what? Despite publicly stating he was for the Charter I wouldn't be surprised if this is what the PM really wanted, a furtherance of the status quo with him at the helm.
If we could know the percentage of military nrc members who voted no, it would be a relatively reliable way to test this assumption.
All, or nearly all, of the military NRC members voted no. Most of the academics, NGO and others voted yes. This is the result Prayut wanted although he said in public he supported the draft constitution. We, the Thai people, are being hoodwinked. Let's have the People's Constitution (1997) back and an election!

I see a lot of monks with tattoos. How about that? Remove them from the temple?
Can those religious tattoos be covered so as to not be "visible"?
The tattoos are not always religious. And they can not always be covered by their monk's habit.
