Former PM Prayut might volunteer. If one is without ethics, one can't violate ethics. And Prayut is the Charm of the military.

I suspect the Malay Muslims in Thai-occupied Narathiwat care less about the Thailand senatorial selection process.

I am a suburban lover living in a large townhouse gated community with a backyard of grass, trees, bushes and flowers. Know all my neighbors, close to regional shopping amenities and hospitals, and mass transit going north into Metro Bangkok and South to river ports. Foreigners are almost non-existant which feeds the curiosity of local Thai people and their children.

First. What is the geographic distribution. If all provinces were fairly considered, 1,320 polled if distributed equally amounts to about 17 persons that would become smaller if then broken down by age groups within a province. For criminalization that affects millions of Thais, the NIDA polling base appears ridiculous. Second. Every statistical sampling (note no mention that such was used in this case) has a standard error. The standard error of the coefficient is used to measure the precision of the estimate of the coefficient. The smaller the standard error, the more precise the estimate. I have never seen a NIDA survey mention the degree of error in its polling results. Thus, it's cited results are not a scientific poll and might reflect a high degree of error.

Generally, when a legislatively passed law by the sovereignty of a nation's Peoples has no further use, ie., enforced, should it not then be terminated by the same legislative process? It has been common for democratic counties that have long sovereign histories to amend, replace or terminate laws no longer appropriate in evolving democratic, progressive societies.

MFP and it's coalition won simple majority in the House over opposing coalitions but not 51% of the House ministers. Under pre-2014 military coup that simple majority was sufficient. But the military junta's 2019 Constitution allowed the Senate to add its 250 Senator votes to the House votes And so with a Senate appointed by the junta, the MFP coalition was denied control of the government.

Actually, a PROVEN perjurer has a place in the justice system and that would be conviction based on EVIDENCE and subjected to sentencing. What has no place in the justice system is trial by public comment and fake allegations made without accountability under the law.

But not with family, friends or "loved ones," just by himself? There's something lacking in the background of this story.

As opposed to military coups by the "Good People" who reject the sovereignty of the Thai citizens, undermine elected governments and appoint unelected pro-coup senators. Thy name is Hypocrisy.

Given the potential reclassification of cannabis as a controlled narcotic substance that reverses 2022 decriminalization of cannabis, a Royal Pardon might be beneficial.

So he's not going with Japan's hydrogen fueled and plug-in hybrid vehicles. D'accord. But in 2023 the number of electric vehicles sold in the Thailand was only about 78,000. Hardly indicative of "unique strength" in EV manufacturing. Unless Thailand can reduce its consumer household debt and break out of the middle class income trap, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia are more likely to see expansion in EV manufacturing.

Unlikely in the near future. "Vietnam Tacks Between Cooperation and Struggle in the South China Sea," Dec. 7, 2021 https://www.crisisgroup.org Vietnam like The Philippines is a major claimant state in the South China Sea, and its views and actions can have significant impact on security there. China claims sovereignty over all of the South China Sea. Vietnam defending its national sovereignty and territorial integrity is not just the most important goal of Hanoi’s South China Sea strategy but also a central plank of the Communist Party of Vietnam’s political legitimacy. The risk of armed conflict in the South China Sea has risen over the past five years, as various states assert their claims to contested waters and island chains more strongly in response to China’s increasing dominance and the growing involvement of the United States and its allies. The U.S. is Vietnam’s most important bilateral partner in supporting its cause in the South China Sea - “the U.S. is the only country that has sufficient material capabilities and political will to balance China, and it has also conducted actual activities in the South China Sea to challenge China’s claims”. The two countries established a comprehensive partnership in 2013, and an upgrade to strategic level is under consideration.

Because the RTN has maintained submarine crews over part of that time in anticipation of actually receiving a new submarine, some submariners probably have retired never having gone out to sea.

Shock and dismay! "Bangkok Could Be Submerged In 15 Years," July 27, 2015 huahinntoday The situation is urgent, and the government may even have to consider relocating Bangkok, said Mr Withaya. It should work on a long-term plan, and devise additional laws to protect Bangkok from going underwater, he said, adding that specific agencies should be assigned to implement the measures. Nine years later under PM Prayut - nothing. And still now no different of a government. Not everyone has a foreign villa they can escape to from Thailand.

Remember that all "local governments" in China are one- party unitary governments, the CCP. As to property developers such as state-backed China Vanke there will be more debt stress on the Chinese financial institutions, not less as a near term solution. Case in point was the recent defaults by China Evergrande Group and Country Gardens. Also remember just a few years ago, China began tearing down built, unfinished and unsold high-rise buildings that could have housed 75 million people. The current plan is indeed bold, for it will unnecessarily fail with further economic stress in the form of higher national debt facing a declining population and weakened labor supply.

So no deviation from the Thavisin government who until now appears to use "tip toe" policy towards Myanmar government. Foreign Minister Maris will add more credibility to Thailand's policies regarding Myanmar's as a whole and maybe a little more forward thinking with less bias to achieve a political balance with ALL the stakeholders - official and informal.

In a constitutional monarchy like the UK, that "independent barrier" is granted to the monarch by the power of the sovereign citizens of the State granted through their writ of the constitution. Think Magna Carta that placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself. As such the sovereign citizens of the State have the power to alter the constitution. It is only in an absolute monarchy that the monarch has unchallenged, unlimited independence regardless of any political "excesses." Even Queen Elizabeth found that her constitutional power to remove a Prime Minister was not without potential "political blow back" from elected ministers in the House of Commons, especially when the majority of the House nominated the PM through majority vote. Many citations to this event, here's one with many responses. https://www.quora.com/Can-the-Queen-remove-a-prime-minister-from-office

Recall that of the 250 Senate seats, only 200 will be subjected to deselection. The remaining fifty are likely reserved for old guard, ie., NCPO junta leadership and consultants. That's 20% already against any new opposition.

"The owner of the ruined black pickup, who makes his living as a daily vendor at the hospital, proved remarkably understanding about his vehicle's dramatic end. Having resolved the matter amicably regarding the compensation, he confessed to being upset over the loss of his cherished car." Unusually chilled over the event.
