At least he has friends at that border if he wants to leave quickly in September at that crossing,Several more borders to go!

I await in anticipation for the ruling by Thai judges regarding Thaksin on the 9th September to see if Thailand justice is sacred or obfuscated to protect the corrupt which, unfortunately will be Teflon Thaksin . No surprise as we all know.

Australia has a deal with the US to buy 3 nuclear submarines worth billions and a big chunk from our GDP in the AUKUS alliance. That was before Trump became president. Now under Trump the US wants to twist the deal so if China Invades Taiwan then the US has total control of those three submarines if needed in that potential war. It's like renting a car. You never actually own it but pay top dollar! PS You cannot buy these subs from a different source as they are the best subs. If it was me I would tell the US to forget it. No deal.

I look forward to the 9th September so I can determine if Thailand is totally corrupt with a corrupt political system and legal system or are really trying to start to get there act together!

True but they have to bypass the existing corrupt senate which is made up of army generals. That's the hard part!

That should be too many old Ex politicians, old existing politicians and too many Army General pigs in the trough.

Did i miss something from prior news here? Why is the acting Prime minister, there? Where is Thaksin's daughter MS Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Why is she not there shaking hands in such a very important diplomatic situation? Like for goodness sake it's a big issue! I must have missed the news from Thailand too much lately. Can someone please explain?

True, but can you blame them whilst Putin is in charge?

Isn't there enough wars in the world at the moment? Make peace ( talk to each other) and not war. Nobody wins from war.

Not true. Usually the first victims are civilians. Good example, Hitler invading Poland, Russia etc. The majority killed are innocent civilians. Then as you say, "the truth".

For Gods sake calm down you lot. It's easier to make War than to diffuse this situation? Goes back to the Vietnam war of which that war was a horrid war and killed millions. For what? "Make peace and not WAR"

You never answer my question to you with a direct answer? Now your scaring me!

So you do not approve of what I had said. Plus it was not a ,"dig" but a suggestion.Who is," us"? Is it your fellow Senior Members?

Wow that was a quick reply! So your experienced in war. You aiming at me as a target with a rifle or a periscope?

Not being a person that can offer expertise advise. Yet I have indirectly seen war at close hand. May, if I can, suggest to Thailand and if it's not too late, that Thailand cancels the Chinese deal on submarines, as any moron knows they are useless on land to land locked countries and focus on more practical weapons to potentially fight that type of war.

Must be a Senior Thai Member Thumbs down! Lol

Deerculler (Advanced Member), They had a reason to whinge. Their passports were ILLEGALLY confiscated. Are you legally wise? My answer is "NO". Aside from that how would you react if you came to Australia and we did the same when your going back to Thailand for 6 hrs. I'm sure you would feel the same, being pis.ed off for no explainable reason. PS Advanced member what a joke. Your on L plates as far as I am concerned and biased such as your quote "whinging poms". Aussies are not poms!

A song of how Thai monks should be to remind all.

What! As we say in Australia. What a load of bull..shi.t. What company do the Thai Govt. pull these polls from and how much money do they pay these so called statisticians of which I assume work for the Thai Statistic's Dept.? Chiang Mai voted best city for, " travel and leisure 2025" in the world . You mean the most polluted city in the world and your leisure is in a hospital bed recovering from too much Co2 and your travel is from your bed in the waiting room to a ICU ward? . You couldn't make this sh..t up in a fiction book!

Absolutely a true comment. When will the netizens stand up and say, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Totally agree. The monks are into a Ponzi scheme and it's so obvious. "Money, money, money.It's a rich monk's world". As far as the Catholic church is concerned it's, "children, children, children. It's a paedophiles world" What a world we live in. No wonder I am an Atheist!

Where did Ukraine or the Gaza list Number 2 or 3 or other. Based on this result?

Now we all know who controls Thailand Mr President Xi Jinping says to Thailand, "jump". The Thai government asks "how high?"

That's great! Good on you.
