This is what the headline says it is. Speculation. What isn't speculation is PTP jumping into bed with their enemy selling out their entire voting base. Apart from this it's more than likely there won't be an MFP to form any coalition after the 18th.

This is what people are saying and what I've been saying since this kicked off. This is, however, not what Thaksin wants.

Public opinion did not vote for this govt. in a democratic election. I would call national elections the height of public opinion.

Recent history should make anyone question this. All good if the science is independent from the narrative and the forces behind that narrative.

What about people who smoke it recreationally. They become criminals overnight whilst the real criminals will once again benefit monetarily from recriminalisation. Someone tell me why this makes sense?

Get conscripted and you have to buy your own gear. I bet this practice is more widespread than this particular unit. Corruption abounds in TIT.

Sadly this will not affect the predetermined outcome of this so-called judicial process.

I guess it depends on the speed limit. 120 speed limit on a highway with no other cars and doing 140? It's about perspective I guess. Fastest I've ever been (apart from flying) is 240 kmh. On a motorcycle a long time ago. Not that fast these days.

Within your comment is a very key word ...."abuse". This is one very apt word for why the world is fkd. Abuse of power. Abuse of drugs, Abuse of status. Abuse of .... . I'm sure we can all add to this list.

Dope makes me go slower. Alcohol faster.

Why? Maybe people who don't smoke it and are not invested in it have the sense to see that recriminalisation puts money back into the hands of the drug lords and corrupt officials and don't see this as a positive move.

Majority want it recriminalised and the majority don't want it recriminalised. 100% of Thais want anything above 1 Yaa Baa pill to be classified as dealing. I'm waiting for a poll that states 110% of Thais. It must be coming with these absolute buffoons at the helm.

100% of Thais want 1 meth tab or less. Dope should be recrimilised. Just two more polls that suit the govt's narrative.

Yes, they are mentally ill. IMHO everyone on this planet is mentally ill in some way or another it's just to what degree and how it manifests itself. Billions of people believe in some sort of invisible person or entity. Tell me that's not mad.

Mental illness can manifest itself in many forms. This is amongst the worst.

Plenty of people saying the wet season started last month. Last month I reckon was just a pretty wet May. Have to wait again now folks for the real wet to begin. A whole lot earlier than last year I hope (Aug/Sept) with a whole lot more rain. As a bit of an aside I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about April being the hottest (or way up there) on record. Anyone seen anything about this?

Keep in mind that 40 was a minimum age which would exclude a big chunk of progressives.

Candidates can vote for themselves so anyone getting zero votes is beyond highly suspicious. This entire process is a farce. As I have stated many times now the only true democratic way to "select" a new senate is through a national election along party lines. I have also stated in relation to this that this can not be allowed to happen as the balance of power in the Senate would be to the reformists. This is a big no no for the military elite and he who shall not be named.

I heard today that MFP wants to table evidence but the CC won't consider looking at it. This is the Junta's judicial system in practice.

"has approved the official use of the "wai" gesture' What does official use mean??????????????????

An excellent point.

There a so many provincial centres that are 1-2 hrs drive away from the nearest airport. This doesn't encourage international (even domestic) air travel to these provinces which is what this idiotic govt wants. 2nd tier provincial tourism I think the emptyheads at TAT call it. As for useable it doesn't really require that much in infrastructure. Buildings and a runway system. Doesn't need any glitz or glamour just needs to be functional. Could easily be done within a decade.

Maybe build a few more regional airports would be a better idea rather than extending existing ones to accommodate larger international aircraft and passenger numbers. Make more of the regions accessible with new small airports to accommodate domestic air travel. Just a thought.

Disappeared by the Junta. By Prayut. Maybe one day in the future when Thailand isn't controlled by the military elite he will face justice.

I think the takeaway from this isn't if Thaksin gets bail or not but the fact that the military gets partitioned. Just goes to show that the CC court is fully military and the Juntas tentacles are still hard at work. Democracy can never be achieved when the "justice system" is dictated to by the military. "Talking about the petition, Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong said the case doesn’t involve the army as it’s not the official investigator in the matter. Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang echoed Sodsong adding that the army has no role in the lese majeste case filed by the NCPO, despite its legal mechanisms being used in the proceedings." The army isn't involved. Believe that you'll believe anything.
