this warning is not for MP's, because it's obvious to them, but to educate the electorate to start watching their representatives and pressure them already.
rightly so - if they were elected on anti-junta principle, they should not cross the line

what the trade union has in common with it's employer, to beg the prime minister on behalf SRT?
in the normal world, trade unions would rather demand than beg. And they would defend workers rights, working conditions and better wages, and not be associated with employer

I hope this ceremony won't last for 4 days, won't cost taxpayer billion baht and civil servants, police and soldiers won't be bussed in to line the streets for the motorcade.

thailand has the biggest gap in the world between rich and poor. Within the last years, while prayuth took power 5 years ago, they rose up above india and russia.
there are 3mln workers on wages 30k/year.
there are 10mln workers on 100k/year.
there are tens of $ billionaires, with the richest estimated 70bln, who amassed their wealth within just 1 generation.
any program for poor won't work - it will be stolen by corrupted officials. Exactly as it's happening now.
before the next general elections there would be handouts to poor and bananas for politicians handed out from the public money, in the meantime armed soldiers would maintain peace and order on the streets, as they were doing for the last 5 years
it's the whole system that needs to be changed. And it won't be done by the ruling elites, but by a mass of educated and motivated people

the deputy environment minister said yesterday in press conference, that elephants died, because they were crossing the river in search of water or food.
That can't be truth, because there is plenty of water and hence plenty of food.
Elephants have died, because they were chased off the road by the park wardens and into danger area of waterfalls. During press conference he did not mention this fact at all.
It all looks like whitewashing the wardens from any responsibility from what happen. Now is time for show off, building fences and even barricades. Non will work, because it's not possible to fence off river from animals - they would just starve.
Judging from the picture of press conference - there are 3 military officers, 5 volunteers from the king's paramilitary run charity, policeman and 4 civilians. There are not any park wardens in uniforms. Are they are being sidelined?

those 3 arrests in a month (out of some 5mln foreign travellers) is very insignificant to justify 2bln investment and risk of extended immigration ques to take data.
the system will pay itself in some 5.5 years (30mln in fines in a month, 360mln in a year), but it will also cost to run it (software upgrades, smoothing out program glitches, exchanging fingerprint scanners every couple of years due to wear, etc)

it's interesting to see, how Thai PBS, the mouthpiece for the government statements and state propaganda, is trying to bring Thaksin into this equation.
thus they are suggesting, that the opposition is related to thaksin and should be blamed for his "hidden shares" and for the beginning of southern problem. And that was duty of army to stage military coups, force on people 2 constitutions, military governments and support for democrat party and suthep's PDRC as "good" parties to rule on army behind.
instead, the full blame for the deep political division and for the southern conflict lies in the hands of army, which try to control every aspect of public life.
- they do stage regular military coups
- they do push for any laws they want and brake any law they don't like
- they suppress opposition to state, including forced disappearances, false imprisonment, street shootings and beatings
- they control all mass media and enforce strict censorship to the point of physically destroying 4500 independent village radio stations, putting gagging orders on thai and international journalists
- they are responsible for a heavy handed approach to insurgency and to insurgents, including mass murder, torture and killing suspects in their custody. For the army it's the training field, what they can do militarily in the rest of the country when mass protests erupt

10 hours ago, snoop1130 said:
The court record showed that Manat Bophlom had admitted to the charge ...
BBC Thai cited that Thammanat said to BBC Thai via telephone on October 4, 2019 that he did not plead guilty to the charge, but instead asked for negotiations between his attorney and the court.
He said he had not been involved in drug smuggling. He said at the time of his arrest, he did not have much experience or enough money to fight the charge, BBC Thai quoted him as saying.
he is habitual lier, court papers contradict him.
he did not try to bribe his way out, because it's very difficult and costly in australia. Instead he grassed his mafia friends in thailand (that was also stated by the court as a reason for such short sentence).
there is more to the BBC story in today's article from australia from the paper, which brought to light the story a month ago

2 minutes ago, Orton Rd said:I imagine in Thailand he would have got over 20 years for a similar conviction.
no, he was a mastermind (according to the australian court).
in thailand such criminals are never apprehended, they pay police for information and employ them to move drugs across the country and deal them

another government sponsored event to attack the opposition.
he did say just after the election, that he withdraws from commenting on politics - that's after being criticised for ordering army radio and other broadcast channels to play fascist songs and many other orders and statements.
he is the son of an army chef who run military coup in 1991. He is the next coup maker, when prayuth government fails. He did openly said before the election, that he will organise it.

further 5 people might be arrested with his case.
Another crackdown on opposition, the previous one was a spate of street attacks by undercover soldiers.

there is much more written on his arrest on bbc thai, on khaosonenglish.com , as well as prachathai.com
thai pbs is a governmental disinformation agency. The nation is even less reliable source of information on any subject as it was bought by politically motivated media consortium

Army chief Gen Apirat warns Thailand is facing “hybrid warfare”

that's a heinous crime to borrow money for an item which is so essential now, that even 5 year old kids, to very senior, need it and use it daily. Most probably it was worth to buy it on credit and jump on information revolution as early as possible.
no village headman can force anybody to buy anything, especially if it was on credit. With lack of telephone landlines in thailand, jumping into mobile technology, was a major civilisation leap, which boosted the whole economy
