so now bankok shutdown organisers are in ministerial seats, together with many mafia figures, like Thammanat  from Payao.

nice country to live in

those 2 thai media reports above are identical, as from the same source and are missing the full statement from Amnesty International. They also said attacks on Thai activists

"appear to fit a pattern of systemic violence timed to coincide with their efforts to draw attention to perceived election irregularities and problems relating to the formation of a new government".

they also wrote:

"The ruling junta actively cracked down on dissent and political discussions while it enacted new election laws that favoured its leader, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, in elections in March."

In comment to AI statement Angkhana Neelapaijit of Thailand's National Human Rights Commission said:

"Intimidating activists by physical abuse appears to be becoming increasingly aggressive and involving a rising number of victims. These incidents usually occur during the day in public places but authorities have never been able to apprehend the perpetrators, which leads to continued intimidation against political opponents without consideration for the law."

thai media are heavily censored and are not independent. They are only a propaganda tool. For information about anything in thailand do read only foreign publications.

Phrayuth is a masterful politician rising through the ranks of the Thai political scene to snatch the number one job required immense political acumen.Those that say he is unintelligent are way off the mark.His current precarious position does seem somewhat insurmountable but he has made it this far,so we will just have to wait and see.When Phrayuth goes Thailand will indeed be better off if who or what replaces him is not worse!  

or his boss/bosses ordered him to do so many years before the coup, gave him army command, money and blessing. The idiot took an offer, probably he had no choice

yes, titanic springs to mind.

I will play some calming music Nearer, My God, To Thee and some angry sex pistols god save the queen

I wouldn't be surprised if HM is not able to visit Thailand for the swearing in ceremony for at least a couple of months after the new cabinet is finally announced.

 

prayuth took his PM approval under the giant king's portrait, because time was important. For cabinet time is not urging, so whenever on thai holidays. If the government won't be ready for birthday on 28-29.7, the next time unknown, possibly queen mother birthday on 12 august or 14.10

"Four other cases were brought to the EC by pro-Shinawatra politician"

so now any citizen can petition the EC, if this politician was brushed aside

He must have a few friends of like mind  who you might think are a bit on the "heavy" side to offer him some protection when he ventures outside. 

No, he is not that kind of person to mix up with mob. 

those, who attacked might been armed not only with police buttons, but guns as well, just in case somebody confronted them. 

There is no way that every political dissident will have bodyguards or walk always in a group, with friends or family.

They should not be attacked. Ja New was attacked, despite being under 24h police surveillance. They attacked him themselves or allowed army officers to do so.

Prawit knows everything, he is responsible for security

the thing is, that violence against thai opposition is leading to violence against foreigners. 

somebody wrote on another thread, that the last weekend there was exodus of Burmese men back to their country.

those very thugs, who beat opposition are those kind, who will beat burmese, farangs or anybody else just they can, who they believe is against them.

from this thread and many others, very recently on tvf, it seems the great majority of posters, are against junta.

from my observations there is greater hostility to foreigners since bangkok shutdown. That coming from the local population of elderly and from junta agencies. They do realise, that foreigners are a threat to a feudal system and conservatism. 

those tugs, who join army and civil service, are nationalists, racists, and they are brainwashed into slave thinking after taking their jobs.

yes, there were more participants to this assault than 4 soldiers on motorbikes. Soldiers in cars, other bikes as a back up, possibly armed - just in case something goes wrong, like somebody coming to fight off.

they should check up registration numbers of all those vehicles behind, see where it would lead.

the whole feudal system is rotten, multi billionaires pull the strings, prayuth is only a pawn in their hands and will be disposed, after the job done.

so he pretended to live thailand and still stayed at the family home of his wife for 2 years and showing himself publicly to pictures. He still stayed there after tv's shown up. Smart guy, will end up in jail every single time he brakes the law  

It''s not possible to die just from one jug, even it it's large, some 1.5 litre one. Unless he was an alcoholic and was on disulfiram, anti alcohol medicine. Or had some serious medical condition - heart attack, stroke, burst aorta.

Autopsy should be carried, not what his drunk mates said to the journalists.

If body is alkohol intoxicated it rejects more of it and have to puke.

A jug of beer will make me drunk, but able to walk

just on monday he issued an apology statement (not apology), for problems within his party and delays in forming the government.

in a parliamentary democracy countries formation of government takes days. 

election took place in march, results were in may, now is already July and the junta is still ruling.

that is called monkey circus 

put this warning finger up your own aas.

the guy is now nobody.

what gives him right to warn politicians and senators, which he selected to parliament?

some senators are demanding speedy investigation in Ja New beating, army officers are implicated.

the boat is rocking.

sink well and rot in hell, the whole lot, I am cheering to it

Four pages in, I note the absence of Baerboxer and Scorecard on this thread.

Why would that be?

Probably off conjuring up an argument as to why it's Thaksin's fault that Prayuth is going to have to commit a coup against himself within a year.

it well might mean, that they are the same person writing under different nicknames. They do came in waves. Log out and comes another poster

... and the Nation and democrats will support every single military coup and every dictator. That they are payed for
