You are absolutely correct. Everyone wanted Prayut as PM. I wonder why everyone except the elites/conservitives hate hiim. Senators voted for him because their pockets were filled by him. People know last time the goal posts were moved. Evreryone knows this ####### will do everything and anything to stay in power. I said this when he got into power through a coup d'etat. He's a general but not only that he's a megalomanic general. The majority of Thais hate him. As for "If the people don't agree they'll not vote for him again." they didn't vote for him last time. The senate, moving the goal posts, dissolving an entire political party through the bought off Constitution Court got him to be PM. Up to you if your a fanboy for a complete ####. The only way he'll be PM again is from not from a free and fair election and not from the will of the people.

Might very well be a reason for Phue Thai not getting 50%+1. I hope so. I would rather see a coalition between these two just to keep the Thaksin puppet in check.

Seems like the envelopes with money for votes being distributed as I type is off his radar.

Brains becomes fully developed in the mid twenties. I also find it amusing that the article states "children under 20 years old." Now I know there are plenty of manchilds around but IMO an 18 year old (old enough to vote) is not a child.

Another quality headline. Article is basically a health expert saying it's illegal to sell to someone under 20, pregnant women, and breast-feeding women. Not exactly a health warning.

Fair guess ‘soi chud’ (similar to Thai beef tartare), ‘larb’ (a sort of Thai minced meat salad), ‘lu’ (a raw Thai soup), or uncooked, fermented sausage won't be coming in 6th on any future look how good Thai food is article. Bit suprised that larb's there as that's usually cooked.

Indeed. I did correct this later but it was too late to delete the original.

Obviously grounds for the dissolution of the party. Should go straight to the Constitutional Court. NEXT. Who will it be?

Well I'm sorry you're not getting your head around the point I didn't say what you think I did but have a look at this and tell me if you can see the word tourism or tourist. @CartagenaWarlockHope you don't mind me quoting you here As you can see the words predicted and prediction are used by @CartagenaWarlock. My response was thus. Hopefully you can see from the above two posts that it's about the prediction of 30 mil now down to 25 million. Not an actual drop of 5 million tourists. Sorry you misunderstood my posts and sorry you accused me of spreading misinformation and being a dullard that needs to grow up.

No where did I say tourism has fallen 5 million in 3 months. If you can show me where please do. This is pure misrepresentation. I was commenting upon a previous post that said estimates in January was 30 million and today they're saying 25 million. It's not difficult if you take the time to read.

Think you've made a mistake quoting me. I didn't quote 30 million. Here's my post and your response. Feel free to remove this post.

The articles on here from TAT is information reported to the media to be shared with the public. That's how it works. Thing is they tend to release lots of information and predictions. Not sure and cant be bothered looking back but at least 3 articles this week and the week is not finished. As for saying some people on here 'need to grow up" and saying some people are "dullards who don't understand simple things." I think is a bit rude.

So down 5 million in 3 months. Maybe tomorrow up 2 mil. Nxt wk who knows. Fairly sure they said Songkran was mostly domestic tourists after Songkran. What was the TAT projection/projections before Songran? It just goes on ond on and most people tend not to believe the TAT projections. I guess some others do.

It would be nice to go back to their projections and see the actual numbers. Probably a bit difficult because they seem to come out with different numbers several times a week. As for mathematics as I remember it was changed to math in the US sometime in the early 1800's. Mathematics. English: Mathematics/Maths. American English: Mathematics/Math.

You're right my maths ????isn't my strong point. Seems like a particlar govt dept. also has problems with numbers with each and every one of their forecasts. Hot air from otherwise empty heads.

I wonder if anyone has suggested to the empty heads at TAT that maybe instead of questionable forecasts just do a quarterly report.....without dodgying the numbers. Oh dear! Yep. I'm wrong. Need the propaganda.

It's interesting isn't it. He got the most votes (moved the goal posts along the way?) but not the most seats and had 250 senators voting for him for PM. And you're right. People vote for their candidtes and the party but the house and the senate vote for the PM. Please see above bold text. Party Leader % Seats Palang Pracharat Prayut Chan-o-cha 23.34 116 Pheu Thai Sudarat Keyuraphan 21.92 136 Future Forward Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit 17.34 81 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Thai_general_election#:~:text=Official results were announced on,Forward%2C Democrat and Bhumjaithai parties.

That's a fair comment mate. Hope you're in the heaven side here on Earth. I obviously don't know what your hell on earth was but I hope it's well in your past.

Guess only a person with A LOT of money would be smiling after spending A LOT of money to buy out anyone he can to forward his cause. Bet you he's got a lot more marked cards up his sleeve.

Agree. I corrected that in a later post.

Only because I'm sick and tired of it. He is Pol. Gen. Surachate. That's his name and position. Being told he's known as "Big Joke" in each and every article is very tiring. There is no need.

Not sure where you get that from (I suggest you re-read my posts)? Paying police to investigate a crime happens everywhere then does it? As I say this country is corrupt top to bottom and every Thai old enough to understand this would agree, except for the corrupt ones of course.

Yep. Corrupt top to bottom. A good inicator of the 3rd world.

Yep. I agree. I had it ass about.

Mate had his bicycle stolen. BIB said they would investigate........for Bt2000. He politely declined their offer. As it turned out a kid stole it and his mum knew who my mate was and recognised the bike. Kid ended up with a very sore ear, mate ended up with his bike back and the BIB continued to sit oin their backsides.
