I'm frankly amazed that Thaksin didn't go with his own rear-guard action, but then he's a Thai as well I suppose so I really shouldn't be surprised.

Rather racist, isn't it? I hope none of your family are Thai.

I have great compassion for the common Thai people. Unfortunately, the masses just do not have the where with all to deal with "the big guns". It's going to require a full bore revolution; that in itself will produce a devastating outcome for the people and the country.

All revolutions are bloody. How do you think the outcome of a Thai one would be devastating?

2-3 years from initial application to MOI sounds longer that others I've heard of.

 

I never paid an expedition fee, that I remember.

About 13 months for me from initial application at SB to MOI interview. 

This 'expedition fee' sounds like something under the table.

Only had good experiences with TransferWise. It's quicker and cheaper than SWIFT.

Can you transfer from a Thai bank account to a UK one?

thailand's version of rule of law; multiple guilty verdicts , multiple arrest warrants and....nothing; pathetic

Yetamother Thailand hater. This happens with mafia ALL over the world, probably even in your country, 

Great to see more and more Yanks switching to support trump and his wall.

Actually, it's funny seeing so many admit that they were wrong about this guy.

Yes and that is why there will never be a recognition of what I suggested. Too much loss of face for the fragile Thai male ego and it appears some Farang ego's also.

Why loss of face? just a cultural thing. Thai men would rather marry a pale-skinned younger woman with no children. Certainly not one over 35, whereas most farang like to rescue farmer's daughters from a life at the Pink Pussy bar as a cashier, and are willing to move to remote place in the middle of nowhere and help her lazy family.

Nothing is going to happen. The only people who care about election are Thai Visa posters. 

 

Thais either don't care or are scared to have an opinion. I am almost certain most don't care. Even the skies are clearing up and the pollution is down today. Mai pen rai, nothing worry.

You are right in a way and it's rather ironic if you look at their presidents and PMs.

Thai people secretly love him for what he's done to the country, similar to Yanks and Trump, but feel embarrassed to say so.

I'm very happy with the recent years since the coup, corruption has been slashed at governmental and especially in the police.

So I understand, but according to the link in the OP it came from playing cards !

Hence my “I’ve never heard that before “reaction .

So, is the rice porridge theory a myth or are KhaosodEnglish.com guilty of dodgy reporting ??

I'll get excited when he recognizes my marriage to a Thai along with the fixed assets I have provided  my Thai family such as a house; support of Thai children abandoned by their Thai father; various purchases of land; as well as cars and other monies sent on a yearly basis which I can easily  prove. Sorry, If I don't believe any of this nonsense 

I think he would just laugh at you marrying "second hand goods with baggage"(as Thai men see it, and would never dream of doing and laugh at farang doing it) and throwing money away to her, as you obviously aren't able to buy a house or land in your name.

Rubbish. Joke is a type of rice porridge.

A truck going the wrong way down a busy road is a tad more dangerous. Lol.

I disagree, it's easy to hit a motorcyclist, and I in my car would get the blame. It's bloody obvious to see a truck!

Unbelievable a bloody big truck doing such a thing, what the hell is wrong with idiots like that who think it is acceptable. 

Lets hope pc  plod gets their act together and find the moron.

Once you've lived here for a while, you'll realize that most Thais love the lack of rules, and personally I do to.

"If it were a female teacher doing it, I might say you lucky ********, I wish some of my female teachers were like that!"

 

That would be condoning sexual assault.

I would condone a normal sexually oriented 16+ getting 'assaulted' by a female. One reason is that they could easily say no, whereas a female being assaulted by a male is totally different. 

I'm sure many guys reading this would condone being sexually assaulted by a sexy lady.

How old was the alleged victim?

Questions on my personal life are irrelevant on this thread and you have no right to expect an answer to such.

 

No secret, just nothing to do with anyone but myself.

If you are an English teacher or have kids at school, I think it is relevant to this topic.

Just answer the elephant God.

As I have said, the gender of the victim has nothing to do with the nature of the crime, nor should it have any impact on how a society reacts to it.

There were allegations that a teacher at my daughters' private school used to be a little 'too friendly' with some of the girls. I didn't react to this. However, if I had heard there was a male teacher doing the same things, I'd prosecute at least. Similarly, if my boys were subjected to the same by a male teacher I would do something. If it were a female teacher doing it, I might say you lucky ********, I wish some of my female teachers were like that!

If and i say if the man is guilty he needs jailed for a long time.

Yet once again the Big joke is opening his mouth before any proper investigation, court case to prove his guilt.

Personally i find it difficult to believe a man who has lived here so long, has family here, would suddenly turn into a rapist.

What on Earth has the length of time spent in a country/having family got to do with being a rapist or not?

His greatest achievement has been uniting the country - against him. If he wins the election it is solely due to the lack of foreign observers keeping the election on the straight and narrow. 

Totally false, the country has been united. Do you live in Pattaya or somewhere and not talk to normal Thais?

Good to know you have their hotline on speed dial. I'm not calling anyone.

I don't, but it's easy to remember. If you're scared to call, let us know where it is and we can complain for you.
