Let my retard self educate you. Thailand court allows minister to keep post despite drug conviction Published 5 May 2021 Thailand's top court has allowed a government minister to keep his job, dismissing a bid to disqualify him over a past conviction for drug trafficking in Australia. Thammanat Prompao was jailed for four years in 1994 for his role in a heroin smuggling case. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57001674 Hence my post: "Heroin. Conviction. Australia. No problem." Seems I'm not the only retard on this site. I also have manners which it seems some on this site are rather lacking in.

Sort of. MFP had to form a coalition to gain power. They did this. In any other 'democratic' counrty this would be accepted and the coalition would form a government. Thailand, however, it depends on 250 unelected senators put in place by a military junta to decide if they like you or not.

Democracy is in no way on show here. It's the complete opposite. What is on show is a system put in place by a military junta to assure their power even after elections where the people voted them out.

Alas it is self interest and the status quo and not the people's will. This whole thing was very well planned by the military junta. If the election saw PTP with a landslide victory the same would have happened. They would not have been allowed to take power. Now they will get into bed with the very same elites that would have dinied them to form a government. The only way forward now is to overthrow the entire establishment. The next so-called government will replace the senators next year with more generals and Thailand will remain under the control of the military. Very sad times for Thailand.

He's never stopped and will never stop. The big stumbling block was the majority of voters voted for reform. This as I have said before cannot be allowed. PTP will now join with the parties the voters of PTP voted to oust. Thailand will remain under military control until there is an uprising to overthrow the minority powers. The new 'government' has absoultely no right to utter the word democracy. Thailand is not and never will be a democracy until the minority powers are overthrown.

He's coming back. A deal has been done. MFP are gone. PTP now sleeps with the enemy. The military retain control. A coup without a coup. They (the military) win again even though they lost. The people of Thailand have been bertayed.

Coming back to sleep in the same bed as the military. Not in exile. Not a fugitive. A TRAITOR.

Yes. Seems you don't know and this is why it doesn't to you.

Every year. Buddhist lent. Same or similar stories. Ok. Can I go to a temple and smoke dope with the monks for the next 3 months?

This has been achieved already. 1 vote 1 person. Not in Thailand. 250 votes is all it takes.

This is not good. Heroin. Conviction. Australia. No problem. TIT. What a bunch of ..........

Stock pic. No notation. Today was hot and windy for me. These warnings are now several times a week. It's beyond a joke. It's a slow start to the wet season again. The high season will probably be the wet season.

All the red signs with gold writing are Chinese/ thai chinese aka every gold shop.

They will be voted in if the military is not ruling parliament. If the military rule I expect they status quo will remain with military appointments.

Agree but also for PTP voters. They too were voting to oust the military not get in the same bed as them.

Never eaten dog but BBQ rice paddy rats are delicious.

Youtube cow milking. You will see it for the 2nd time +.

Industrial sentiment up. Tourism up. Baht up. Everything up. Strange in a counrty that has no elected government and a very uncertain future.

Not sure if dog is on the French menu. Horse is though. Steak tartare

Not a problem. Just add more water.

No such thing as the best food in the world. There's great food eveywhere. Some countries do have a greater variety than others however. What I would do to be able to pan fry a nice rainbow trout right now. The list of food I miss is extensive but I live in Thailand. I eat what's on offer or cook my own meals with available produce and products.

Chinese people think themselves number one no matter what country they live in. I find his attitude discusting. I also find it unbelievable because .......

The people wanted change. Change is not possible or permitted. TIT. You vote and it doesn't count. No democracy just a minority of self serving dinasaurs. PTP now will sleep in the same bed as the military. PTP massive support base will see this as treason. It will not matter until the entire system is overthrown and the dinasaurs go the same way of the actual dinasaurs that roamed this planet. EXTINCT.

Replace "to" with "might" and I might believe it.

The matter of the senators will need to pass the house of representatives. This cannot be achieved with a minority govt. The goal must be to have no nominated senators at all. PT must not join with the military. It's Thailand's only hope of progression. Keep parliament in limbo until the dinasaurs are booted out nxt yr.
