I'm always amazed by how some commenters feel the need to be so argumentative or abusive to others. Is this where we're at today? Or is this just a case of "angry old men disease"? Mother used to say, "live and let live". Good advice Mom.

Oh Steven please. Enough already. Just like the USA political debacle, time to move on. Problem is, Prayut's rigged system torpedoed the chance to move on.

Thank you. I guess 8 years is somewhat beyond "newbie" status.

I'm sure it didn't take much TIME for many of us to notice. On that note, I sure wish the CASE of the watches would be opened again. It's about TIME.

I respectfully disagree with this theory.

Excellent post from a newbie.

Unfortunately, an outright revolt may be the only way forward. The junta-rigged system needs to be totally unraveled and a new system put in place. After two near-misses that failed due to junta finagling to stay in power, the majority are much more politically savvy than they were in the 2016 era. The fat cats need to be kicked to the curb.

Interesting theory. This may well be a superior approach. Good thinking.

I think it means that they are not giving up. If so, good! They should not be railroaded and succumb that easily.

"Full speed ahead" "No, we're heading straight into the side of a big mother dock" "Stay the course" ! Kaboom

I believe we are in "the calm before the storm" period. Pita screwed up his chances through either stupidity and/or naivety but in the process, the people's hopes were raised. They will not take this failure lying down. A storm is in the making.

I personally hope that other countries will follow the US lead.

I'd say that it's pretty much a world problem. I live on a main "drag" in the suburbs of Toronto. Noisy, fast bikes rip along the 4 lane road in "drag" race mode late into the evening, every evening. Cops here do nothing about it. Good luck Pattaya police. But I did see a cop give chase to one recently. A car stands no chance of catching a rice rocket.

Ambitious or not, it's about time somebody has the cajones to stand up to the current powers. Enough is enough !

They don't "follow it". They "bend it" to whatever way the junta party says to bend it.

I hope that the Thai people are being made well aware, in understandable simple Thai language, that the Prayut gang rigged the system in the first place and is now pulling dirty tricks out of their back pocket in order to hold onto power, a power that the majority of Thais don't want them to have anymore. This is no time for naivete or complacency. Thais need to fight for what they voted for.

Well, if not the next, the one after that. And if still no luck, try again in the next one after the one after that, and if still RIGGED, just keep on trying. At least by that time, the so-called senators will all be dead. Me too, unfortunately, I was wanting to live long enough in hope of seeing democracy finally winning in Thailand. But for the next-however-many-elections, it looks like SSDD.

Kind of like "you can run but you can not hide".

At least this bill will help the Thai citizens realize that Prayut RIGGED the senate and that 250 senate votes are FAKE (sounds a lot like a GOP argument, LOL)

Basically just version 2.0 of the junta government if Prawit becomes PM. SSDD

If they do that, they're inviting giga trouble on the streets. Besides, they will have lost major respect (although there wasn't much to start with) nationally and whatever little respect they had internationally.

Bang on ! Well stated !

That still sounds corrupt to me. Doesn't have to necessarily involve baht.

Those who organize street protests will probably be busy "organizing", in view of this development.

The problems with old escalators seem to be "escalating".
