Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is the key to any protests. A bunch of high school and college kids standing around in front of a BTS station, waiting to get hit by a water cannon isn't going to do it. When the Red Shirts come to town, that's a different matter. These people are tough, carry studded 2x4s, don't mind the heat, and are willing to pitch camp wherever they're told to. -
Dead and done.

TAT Promotes Thai Soft Power via Tourism Booster Shot Campaign

Mango and sticky rice. For real. I like it. Ought to get the rest of the world in on durians too. -
This proposal is DOA. The senators are not going to vote to do away with themselves. Looks like an empty gesture.

Pita ready to step aside if his party fails to win senators’ hearts

I've said all along that PTP was outmaneuvering everybody else. -

Khaosod on Twitter says 20 PTP MPs and 30 MFP MPs have been approached to switch sides and join the junta. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1680778548355960833 -

Police Prepare For Nationwide Protests, Parliament Heavily Guarded

Prawit going to be put up against Pita according to PTP next round, says Khaosod. It's a marvel to watch Mr. T at work. He's almost back in the saddle again. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1679763656471609344 -
Thailand ranked among the 10 best countries for expats
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
From the sad emoji, I can guess that there is at least one Internations member out there. Neck beard and craft beer at the ready, although a few years on, I bet he can no longer fit into his skinny jeans. -
Even in exile, Mr. T continues to dance in circles around every other political party and politician. Will he cross the Rubicon and return?

Same guy, according to CNA's Bangkok reporter: Senator Somchai on attempts to reform the monarchy: “Don’t copy everything from the Westerners that you forget Thainess. We’re all yellow faces that they call us 2nd-class citizens. You’re not a global citizens with long noses, pale skin and great height.” https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1679398206877360134

Pita has been incompetent in the post election period. But I must say the senators are also looking bad, here. The least they should have done is orchestrate it so that MFP got some votes, instead of looking like a monolithic bloc indifferent to everything but their own interests. Really badly played, IMO.

People in debt up to their eyeballs. They can't go one or two days without work and a paycheck, much less two weeks.

EC sends Pita shareholding case to Charter Court

Yes, I was out of my house for three months, because big Ag in Nakhon Pathom arranged to protect themselves by redirecting the flood into Phutthamonthon. Rice pledge was poorly administered but not a bad idea. At least I didn't wake up half the year with PM2.5 air in the danger zone. And did I just see on Saksith Saiyasombut's Twitter that some guy from BJT just said something about proposing a law that would allow people (I guess just anybody) to shoot those who insult the you know what?

Back when I had a Facebook account, I used to see Internations advertisements all the time. I cannot imagine a group of people who I would want to avoid more than these guys. Hipsters clinking white wine glasses. -
