I hope you're wearing a properly fitted N95 for pm2.5 otherwise don't bother.

3) Freedom of speach.

21st Century Thailand at it's best.

And this is the thing. As I've been saying the majority hate him but will he go. Will he listen to the will of the people or not and if he doesn't trouble will certainly be the outcome.

I think most still wear 'masks' because of constant alarmist articles, a lack of a basic understanding of virus, which of course is now Omicron, and basically no one has told them they can take them off. I still see people using bandanas as masks. Anyhow I've been saying that covid is endemic for a while and got poo pooed by some on here. Well there you go. It officially is no longer a pandemic meaning that it is now ..........endemic.

Any guesses on a price? Economy seat. Bt25k>? I guess cheaper going there and back when it's high season here. Winter in Denmark would be nice.

I smell ChatGPT. "a 'Big C' whose variety of goods rival any western supermarket and are full of Thai customers,"

I doubt he will and he has backing at the highest level.

Times have changed. I have now had chats with several Thai friends today. If Prayut elects himself back in via his paid off lackeys expect this country to errupt. I get the feeling that some on here just don't know how dangerous these people are and how much the people hate them or just don't care or think about the possibilities. The possibility of a revolution be it a peoples revolution or an armed uprising is a real. Prayut etc. (I say etc because best not to mention others) know this. This country is on the brink. This election may be the biggest turning point in Thailand's history.

This is a great stout and has been or still is available in Thailand. 6.2% but used to be 6.8%. Coopers Stout. Very good. I do remeber now this IGA. Had 1 will never have another 1. Reminded me of ........ The worst 'beer' I've ever had. nXT.mp4

I have many fears about this election. The cronies want to retain their power, the youth and others who are sick and tired of them want them out.

Totally agree. Unfortunately idiots run countries.

Prayut is just another coup leader in Thailand. He is supported by the conservative establishment. Do you want this to continue? Never mind your A,B,C and D's. Do you want to see change in Thailand or do you support the status quo? You didn't answer. Just deflection once again. Believe me I am no fan of Thaksin but I am definetly no fan of Prayut and his cronies. Can you answer the question? Do you support Prayut and the status quo or do you want to see change? It's a reasonable question. For me it's time for Thailand to grow up. I want to see change and I think the votes Move Forward gets will show I'm not alone on this one. Will the will of the people prevail?

I don't think this should be trivialized.

It may be a lot worse. I don't think trivializing is something to do. If this really kicks off people will die and this country will be in turmoil. It's up to Prayut. Will he accept the will of the people?

Too busy trying to get rid of the opposition.

You're correct. There is of course another level of power at play within Thailand. I'm not sure if these people care at all about the west and repercussions. This may well be a move towards China. Just an educated thought.

Do you think voting for a megalomaniac general is better? One who changed the constitution to remain in power? One who stacked the senate by buying off his military croneys is better? A person who dissolves oppostion parties? A person who may be behind the disappearances of opposition individuals? This guy is hated by everybody except his moron conservative fanboys. Are you're one of them? Or am I wrong and you think change is needed? A pitiful confused or sad anonomized emoji won't do. Be brave and tell us all by responding to my post. No deflection that Thaksin is a criminal tell us all what you think about Prayut.

This is exactly what my Thai friend told me. It won't happen before the election but after. People are watching. I said to him it's happened in Myanmar but no countries seem to care. Will it be the same here? Interesting question he said but nevertheless Thailand needs to move forward. My conspiracy theory if you like is China is backing this all the way. They want Thailand to be a military dictatorship. Big call I know but not out of the realms of possibility.

Tis a shame. I remember being told as a kid religion and politics shouldn't be discussed at at the dinner table, parties etc. This is only because of 'don't rock the boat'. Don't ask questions. Don't challenge the percieved norm. Well it's too late now. The world has moved on considerably since those days. The sad or frightening thing is some people haven't.

Indeed. My daughter 13 is telling her mum not to vote Phue Thai. Vote Orange. Vote 31. My friend I mentioned above is in his late 40's. Same thing. Get rid of the old guard.

When you say group you are correct. A very, very, very high powered group at that. Specifics can not be mentioned.

Beer Lao prices Cj MORE. Almost double the price from what it is in Loas.

I have just a good chat with a Thai friend. Smart person. I told him about this dissolution rumour. He said good. The people will fight. The people want change. I know this is only one persons opinion but I reckon it's indicative of the majority of the population. His vote is going to MFP. He also said that any dissolution moves will come post election.
