Guess the monk never questioned Prayuth's actions or the army would have been in and dragged his sorry arse out of there for Attitude adjustment.

How can you have a fair election if only one party being the military junta are permitted to to meet, discuss and plan an election campaign? These things take time and we'll in excess of months, people need to know their choices of local candidates and their policies. When will they be permitted to meet, after the election when the junta is returned? Talk about stacking all the cards in favour of one side.

Islam will eventually conquer and destroy the world. Australia didn't learn from Europe and we now see riots and violence in our streets as cultures clash. I definately don't want my wife, daughters and future grand daughters living under sharia law where they can be abused and mutilated in the name of their cult leader. Taking civilisation back 2,000 years isn't the way to go.

Not worry Thailand found the cure for ebola in a few days. A few how's and they will have a cure for this Zika thing.

So Mr Frome jumped in order to escape something. You don't commit suicide to escape and who was the murder attempt on, was it Frome or the girlfriend. I think a lot more to the story needs to come out.

Prayut​h's Youth

Ross Lyon to coach Melbourne next season and he is bringing his boy Zac Dawson with him.

An interesting week for tipsters,with at least five games that look each way bets.

Swans v Roos - at the SCG

Dees v Port

Blues v Cats

Pies v Dogs - looking forward to a great game, too bad AFL Dude is down.

??

Sure to get some of them wrong,, if not most..

First game isn't so hard to pick joblow, north are ready to drop one and swans looking deadlier as the season progresses....but then again.....dads army has taken all before it.

Dees against port....gees i changed my mind on closer investigation, you will have to wait till 5 pm sat afternoon to find out.

Who would pick the Lions? tough the Hawks are not anything great at the moment, danger danger will robinson...

That ordinary team Saints coming up against an even more ordinary team...freo.....short straw is the winner.

The might bombers against a resurgent tigers....interestingly dusty's fantasy score is 20% better of late....is that an indication for something?

Those black birds against the tall ones from up north, this is the hardest game of the round...well i cast my eye to the sky this morning from my balcony, there were no tall men i could see nor were there any black birds on the horizon, i turned to my doggie cho and asked his opinion but he was not there, he avoids friday mornings, what to do what to do?

Blues against the Cats, good money can now be safely be put on the blues, but i wouldn't want to be playing the cats after they lost the week before...this is where i stick my neck out the cats will show the blues come this weekend its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll with the big guys, a drubbing of the magnitude of a 7.5 on the Richter scale is heavily indicated here.

Maggies and doggies, who is more mature? pies ever so depressingly inadequate against an emerging dogs, I'm not convinced the dogs are a power of yet maybe next year, the pies on the other hand bridesmaids for so long....we turn to CHOOKS for the answer here.

Eagles do it right do it quite suns on the other hand, well rodney it seemed was given an Aston Martin Advantage but it turned out to be a second hand 1964 Ford Mustang, the holiday capital of Australia is not a good place to grow an AFL club, the Lions quickly moved north and 3 flags followed, i feel for Eade, i think he is one of the best coaches around would have been happy if he had gone to the Dees, Abblet on the other hand still a good player of course but isn't the leader you would want, spends to much time at the beach and polishing his head, suns wont win another game this year, wont Finnish last because the bombers are even more crap.

Noticed the kid isn't shooting is selections mid week anymore...hes in stress mode, Will has quietened down too ahh tipsters beware number 1 is not the place you want to be to early...unless you have nerves of steel...

That ordinary team, the saints pulled melbourne's pants down and gave them a good spanking. When was the last time melbourne beat this ordinary team, my memory is only good for a couple of decades.

Saints one game out of the eight, next 5 games Crows, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Carlton Essendon and Melbourne. 4 games at Etihad and 4 very winnable games. Crows in SA next week will be hard but who knows.

Hands up who hasn't had the opportunity to kick some docker arse yet.

I'll bet Barnaby Joyce is loving this.

I heard Amber and Barnaby planned this from the start, pistol and boo were also in on it. They plan to buy the Kidman property for 300 mil AUD and move in together.

Anyone here ever seen ... live or video ... what happens in USA when they open the doors to big stores which are having a big discount sale? It's pretty much the same as this story.

can't see the connection between American Shoppers and Thai thieves.

All the posters who condemned me in the post about caring Thais should read this, then hang their heads in shame.

But there was something FREE to be had!!!!

They weren't free, they belonged to another and we're taken without authority which is theft. If I accidently dropped my wallet would that make it a Freeby?

They have photos of these low life's. Track them down and put them into the monkey house for a week or two and charge them 5000 baht each. Just no respect for anything or anyone, dog eat dog !!!

There freaking mushrooms!!!!

Those freaking mushrooms are someone else's property. If some steals your car shall we say it's just a freaking car and stop moaning?

Should be grateful they got 2,000 baht for thier material possessions. The families of the girls killed in the Chaing Rai School fire only got 2,000 baht for thier deceased child.

No section 44 is being used to appoint friends and family to prime political and department positions. No need for section 44 here anyway, just do your job and execute the warrant on him

All the dumb comments about feeding fish. In Australian national parks, you are requested not to feed the wild animals, birds, and why, because bread crumbs and the other food stuffs that are fed to the birds etc,. are not part of their natural diet, therefore, can cause sickness and or death. Same with feeding fish bread crumbs.Please , do your research before knocking everything the thais do. They are not the ignorant ones in the matter.

Never heard of anyone being arrested or even fined for throwing a few bread crumbs. Seagull chip fights are on everyday.

Voting is compulsory in Australia. Failure to register is illegal.

Ex pats who live in Mae Sai, for example, must travel to Bangkok to regester their vote.

Australia hence makes voting an act of dictatorship and one seldom seen in other free world Democratic countries.

True democracies give you the freedom to choose to vote or not.

I was struck off the electoral roll. Was back in Australia at the time of the last election and went in to vote only to be told I was no longer on the roll as I had been out of the country for 5+ years. Suits me fine with the collection of numnuts available to vote for. Hate being forced to vote for people I hate

Prayuth and his goons

And why aren't such plans in place now? Why is everything reactionary here? Is thinking of risk, consequences, planning and purpose so difficult?

Apparently so

There have been some really nasty and horrific leaders but arresting and elderly citizen for a cheeseburger and flower really elevates Prayuth and the junta into pure evil, only an evil and barbaric person would do such a thin to a frail old person.

Quick shut the gate, the horse has bolted. Isn't it better to have evacuation plans and fire equipment in place before a fire? Yes I know this is Thailand and if I don't like the way things currently are then go home to my nanny state.

2,000 baht for the death of your child in our care, what and insult. How much did the families pay in annual tuition and boarding fees? The school is still going to be well in front.

Not this evil mad monk again.

Just keeps going up and up at unprecedented levels. I think they need more resorts, hotels and taxis. If numbers keep soaring the local population is going to be outnumbered 2 to 1.

And in other news 53 taxi drivers return gold and diamonds left on back seat to farang tourists. A few happy photos should make this go away
