New government same as the old government!
14 million voted for change and this is what they get, laughable if it wasn't so predictable and depressing....

Why? The people who should be in prison are those generals who stole the country at the end of a gun from the elected PM's and their government. Especially the one who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians at the temple then took over the elected government just as he was about to go on trial and hounded the very brave nurse who witnessed all as she gave aid... They are the true criminals.
I agree with everything you say, but, always a but, Thaksin has put himself and his needs above doing the right thing for the country
He had the chance to do the right thing and chose to put his own needs above that. He could have been a power for change but chose not to
He has said one thing to his supporters for year's and stated he would never get in bed with the Junta then done exactly that
I have always been anti junta but by Thaksin's action's I have had to face the fact that every Thai in any position of responsibility is first and foremost self serving and corrupt
That's why the action's of Pita and his party are so rare and commendable and that's exactly why the actions of Thaksin and co are so reprehensible

Thailand should make a charter with a few simple basic rules, like the American constitution and which can't be broken by anything, instead of after every coup a new charter. In the new constitution should be mentioned that coup/high treason is capital punishment in public..... period without clemency.
Slightly off topic but agreed in the main however you still need to remind most American's what an 'amendment' means as some seem to believe that mean's that it's set in stone
from: https://www.britannica.com/topic/amendment
'amendment, in government and law, an addition or alteration made to a constitution, statute, or legislative bill or resolution. Amendments can be made to existing constitutions and statutes and are also commonly made to bills in the course of their passage through a legislature'
I reckon Thailand needs a few 'amendment's' in order to right the wrong's of junta anti democratic policies, unfortunately that would need a none corrupt and functioning judiciary which in Thailand is rarer than rocking horse faeces....

Why we listening to a mouth piece of the most corrupt gang in Thailand?
Nothing they say can be trusted, they are undeniably rotten root and branch
All their spokesmen and leaders have come up the same way, for the hard of thinking that's through abject nepotism and absolute corruption
They are beyond the pale, they are beyond redemption, the only thing that can change any of it is a full reset
The hard reset requires the people to demand it and fight for it, unfortunately I won't be holding my breath but I can guarantee there will be something similar wrt RTP in the next week or so....

A man of honour and integrity, a rare politician anywhere but absolutely unicorn like in their rarity in LoS!
He has made the right call again and shown yet again he is a man of principle unlike all the other specimen's in the ruling parties!!
He would have been a breath of fresh air, an innovator, a man able to reset the wrongs that are so entrenched in Thailand
Who knows maybe he will have his day after all public enemy number one for the last decades back in bed with the junta in the hospital so never say never....

I had a ten baht coin in my left pocket and felt poor.
But I traded for two 5 baht coins, one for each pocket, and now I really am rich and can stimulate that economy!
That Sir is spot on, could you please pass this on to the PM as clearly he is not the brightest if this policy is anything to go by...

Because overwhelmingly they are a bit dim but many are as thick as two short planks, that's what you get when promotion is paid for rather than earned or merit based!
They are incapable of critical thinking and due to their vanity and need to have their five minutes of fame they are willing to say the most stupid of things, they simply cannot stfu!!!
The whole charade is an insult to anybody with one iota of intelligence, must be terrible to be an intelligent or worldly wise Thai person I can only imagine how ashamed they must be by their so-called leaders and compatriots
Before the Thaksin support crew start bunching their panties I couldn't give a monkey's one way or the other for him, I care not if he is innocent or guilty of the trumped up charges his action's have shown his true character and it ain't pretty
I do care about is the way he's betrayed his supporters and shown such mind-bending hypocrisy for nothing but his own benefit, essentially he has stabbed his supporters in the back and one can only hope for karma to come back and bite his wrinkly old ass!!

Wouldn't falling short imply they had actually done something?
As far as I can see the Generals have pretty much told them what they are going to do and not so much the other way round
I think PTT has sold their soul to the devil in order to get Thaksin home and a turn at the trough, I really hope the people remember all these lies and betrayal....

I thought the whole role of government is to implement changes? I didn't realise they had to 'negotiate' with the business sector, wonder if this negotiation involves brown envelopes...

Your hatred knows no bounds at all.
Hatred for Thaksin has nothing to do with it, but hatred for the blatant double standards being exhibited by the establishment and the utter contempt they hold their people in yeah I really hate that!
One rule for the rich and connected and zero justice for anybody else, true double standards and true hypocrisy, no honour and no shame...

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
There are no respected military men amongst the powers that be in Thailand, there are many corrupt, nepotic, nitwits who are subject matter experts at self enrichment and betraying their countrymen, yep a whole shedload of them....

Good drills! looks like they are holding PTT's feet to the fire and calling out the lies
I hope they are comfortable being uncomfortable because I foresee plenty more of this but that's what you get when you betray your country and people...

Are you willing to be on the very front line with your Thai family and friends?
It is very easy for us expats partly hidden behind our computers, and criticise the Thais for not "having a go".
It is a whole lot different when there are only a few metres between you and a load of soldiers and policemen armed to the teeth, with guns loaded with live ammunition and the safety catches off.
Behind them are water cannons and tanks.
Talk is much cheaper than lives.
You are absolutely right but the truth is that freedom is not free, there is a cost that has to be paid, if not today then tomorrow
If you are not willing or able to pay the price then you must accept that nothing will change
The powers that be will never, ever leave the trough of their own violation, they need to be removed and if there are no legal avenues then another way must be brought and indeed paid for, generally that involves blood and pain...

Pedantic it is then!
for the hard of thinking:
What Is a Codeshare Flight?
Essentially, a codeshare flight is an agreement between airlines to sell seats on each other’s flights. This gives the appearance of airlines flying to more destinations. By doing so, the airlines typically share the revenue on that ticket.
Say you want to visit the incredible city of Istanbul, Turkey. If you search for flights to Istanbul, you’ll find plenty of flight options on American, Delta and United’s websites. If you look closely, you’ll see the top results will usually have flight numbers matching the airline you’re searching on.
For example, say you search for flights from New York City (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) on American Airlines’ website. The first result listed is a one-stop flight through London Heathrow (LHR). Both of the flights have American Airlines flight numbers, but neither are operated by American Airlines. Instead, you’ll find in small print that both flights are operated by British Airways:
Similarly, if you search the same route from New York City to Istanbul on Delta’s website, you’ll also see flights with Delta flight numbers. But again, Delta doesn’t operate these flights. In this case, Delta is selling codeshare flights on KLM-operated flights with a stop in Amsterdam (AMS).
By the way the 2 hour out out and 1 hour 40 in on the SAS flight was basic at best but was on time with a swift transfer, the Thai flight 11/12 hour was a bit <deleted> at best but on time and the baggage turned up where it was meant to
SAS website and online booking much slicker and easier then the Thai offering, just for clarity and to keep the pedants happier, notice I didn't say happy....

SAS have been flying to Manchester for decades - it's really not that difficult.
No they code share!
No idea if you're slow on the uptake or just plain pedantic but if you Google Manchester to Bangkok that will pop up
The topic is about Thai airways and as the 11/12 hour part of said flight they are the the main contributing airline, they are also in my humble opinion a bit crap or they were on this occasion...

Move Forward party warned by Pheu Thai MPs not to “play games”

Posted
Let the game's begin!
Anything MF do that annoys or disrupts PTT and the other lying leaches is fine and dandy by me if they can shine a light on the lies and hypocrisy so much the better
Love the squirming when MF starts playing by the same sneaky underhand behaviour that they have been subjected to by the other parties and the establishment...
