"This case marks a crucial step in Thailand's ongoing efforts to combat corruption and hold officials accountable for misconduct." Only enemies of the those in power. How about a two pronged approach. Start at the top and work down and at the same time from the bottom up. Somewhere along the line almost all if not all school directors will be done for corruption. Hospital directors. Govt Dept. directors. BIB. Just 4 of many areas. Top down. Well the very top is untouchable but working down it again would be almost all if not all politicians. Same goes with the generals, judges and the top of the RTP. Build a new jail and throw them all in. Thing is if you took all the corrupt out of the system there would not be many people left to run the show. Sadly corruption is endemic top to bottom.

And Thaksin is well and truly behind this. How about the powerful untouchables and corrupt officials making a fortune from it. Yabba is flooding in from Myanmar and there are some very powerful people on both sides of the border behind it.

"recreational use" now called "unauthorised use".

Thailand has unveiled a new bill aimed at regulating its cannabis industry while largely limiting marijuana use to health and medical purposes. - NO Thailand has unveiled a new bill aimed at regulating its cannabis industry while largely limiting marijuana use to health and medical purposes with recreational use remaining decriminalised. - YES

The 14th will be unsuccessful. It will also quite possibly be bloody. You don't need to hold the guns if you hold the people. Last election the MFP held the majority of the people. Next election they will hold even more.

Their numbers are absolutely no where near that of the numbers that want a progressive government. What they have is power and connections. They are by far the minority. The "establishment".

Yep. Struggled might not be the correct verb but this bunch of ultra royalists military idiots stand only one chance of gaining power and that's through the corruption of the system or a coup.

Untouchable/Protected.

A clear reaction to the weaponisation of Section 112.

As you can see for yourself there is clearly a difference. The mini heart gesture does not have the forefinger and thumb rubbing together. Way off the mark with this one mate.

Is it? It was a bi-election in only in one constituency in the province.

I think this is very good news and adds to the high status of this coalition of corrupt rsholes. My fear is it will be the army that boots them out and not the people. Yes, the Iast election the people voted the dinosaurs out but the dinosaurs disregarded the people. The dinosaurs own the courts and the tanks.

When or if this is done it doesn't matter if the people are involved or not. The status quo which protects and increases the wealth and power of the establishment will remain in place through manipulation and corruption. This will only change when the progressive powers take full power over these corrupt dinosaurs. How or if this happens makes for an interesting and possibly very dangerous future for Thailand.

Oddly missing from Please NOOOOOOOOOOO. We all know that Twitter is now X not X formerly known as Twitter. Same applies here.

Increase tax on the elites. That's sure to get the tanks rolling.

Daddy's nearly finished the policy statement then!

Pearl necklace. You can't make this stuff up. Fairly sure I couldn't attach an image to this post.

Thank you for your post. Read it early Monday morning. Always good to start the working week with a good old hearty laugh.

Thai Thaksin's Cabinet Sworn In Today

???????? No train to the east from Bangkok? Is this what you're saying? You're nearest train is Cambodia? Sorry mate but this makes no sense.

Thailand's full of Chinese junk as it is. A bit more won't hurt.

I think there is something wrong with the headline. Maybe this would have been better. Thailand Aims to Launch ASEAN’s First Spaceport, Eyes Global Space Race HUB

Big money in e-sports but this propaganda "hub" got very, very tired a long time ago. Same as soft power.
