ikke1959

It is stupid to announce sudden free day at the last moment...They could not see it in the calendar before??

Thais are concerned about nothing as they know they can't change anything...... never.... old rules and outdated laws, community with listening to higher ranked people without any comment if no agree, no helmets in traffic, etc etc... And their debt is the least they are worried about. They borrow from everybody and don't pay back and if you guarantee for someone you are the one who has to pay eventually.. They are not learnt how to use their money. Besides the wages are too low nowadays, and the riches are too rich and will keep people under control by low wages, fear, low education and own greed..Examples too many about the rich and their wealth in Thailand. We need to Move Forward

I think that if the CC is going to look into the case they will find so much that affect the senators, that as a way of "kindness" they want to solve the things in the parliament, so that everybody stays happy...

It is the Thai style.. Not thinking ahead but at the moment.. How long do they know already that there is a free day between the holiday and the Buddhistic celebrations?? If they announced it in January there were no problems, now we hear many people complain. Short term vision. Besides there are almost no holidays in Thailand, so why add more? the whole week we read about the household debts, and the Government pushes now again to spend and to go on holiday for the local economy... But very bad for the household debts. They don't care about anything it seems

A good solution, even if there not many people signing it. The action shows that the 8 parties are willing to wait and hold the country back for 10 months because of the senators.. They are the only ones t blame. The industry and businessmen are urging to get a new Government so the pressure will be enormous, although the senators don't care about anything except their power and wealth

Bangkokbank... Not very expensive or Kasikorn Bank

with the Buriram balls now you need a drink too.. Happily no alcohol as she would be banned and punished for that. What will be next?

I am wondering why international organizations are to blame?? They have nothing to do with the political situation in Thailand. The problems occur from inside, and anarchy is a very big word. But as normal, everybody thinks they have the gift and talk a lot of rubbish that is believed by the people

A doctor in my country once said, that you can go to the hospital and do al check ups that are possible even if you don't feel well, but if they can't find anything you go home and as soon as left the building you can drop dead. It is part of life although very sad. This is maybe a case like this.. although maybe some better examination should have shown heart problems or they could have kept her for 24hrs observation. It is not said that the same wouldn't have happened

18 years ago.. I am talking about the last years

good to hear. It is shameful to try to put someone aside like they did with Pita. It is abuse of power and lack of responsibility too. and Pheu Thai wil not be happy. Senators have to do the wish of the people unless there are severe reason as high treason or so not to do, but in this case just the election of the PM should be not a problem. I hope they will be banned for 10 years too

probably you never needed a handyman for some small work.. Yes they come an check but if it is only for 1 day they are not interested.. and the young people neither... and I am not alone many Thais have the same problem, they can't find anyone and complain. I have a job for a gardener/handyman, with good payment but nobody and asking around, many Thai houses have the same problem...Nobody wants just to say... Of course there are good working people, but I can count them on 1 hand in my neighbourhood.

no way... Pheu Thai did not get any vote for PM.. It was for Pita and under unconstitutional conditions he was refused the 2nd time

It says enough..... the ones in the party are used to the flour..

No surely not... The junta and its senators are the first to blame, but be fair already talking about compromising is too early now... first let them vote the first time on this coalition before talking about give up and compromise for the benefit

Not only that, they buy cars, motorcycles without any money but they have to pay monthly sometimes for 20 years..... and even to kids without a drivers license or with in income that they even can't rent a house with.

True colors of Pheu Thai, as wrote already many times, they are bad losers and had hoped they would win the elections with a landslide. But it was Move Forward that was the winner. First they have tried to get the house speaker, and when that failed, now they are going for PM, even without Move Forward, instead of keep steady on the 8 party coalition to end the army governing the land. That would be the greatest win. But no the greed for power will put the largest party in the oppostion and keep the country back from going forward, as they say compromising and sacrificing, but not by us but the others, and we will go with the honors

They want to be rich, and live like rich already, but are too lazy to start working. Try to find somebody for whatever and but the payment is always too low or the work is too less to do it. They prefer to do nothing and borrow from family and friends than earn a bit. They only want to have big money..There is start for the solution.

It is Prayuth and his cronies who are harsh with section 112 to control the rallies after bannin Mr Thanathorn ande Future Forward party... He and this Government are the only ones to blame that there is a call form reform section 112. Because it is not normal that kids of 14 -18 years are being jailed for this law.. As last week another boy now 19 years old is jailed for section112 for 3 years ago. It shows that this kind of abuse of section112 should be stopped

He is totally right... The old dinosaurs have to get out . It is time to enter the 21st century and the old power, stays far behind. The biggest problem is how to stop them, as they made laws and rules in the years that it is almost impossible to get rid of them. Best example are the 250 senators. A totally new constitution must be written to prevent that coups and army can take over again and that democratic principles will be respected. But the army and the elite have the money, with which they can buy(corrupt) almost everyone/thing. I have faith in a better Thailand when the old guard is gone.

Democracy in Thailand?? in writings yes, in reality no, as we have seen the past weeks already. 250 senators, appointed not elected are holding the country back and will do everything to keep the army in power. Amending laws is forbidden as they have already said that parties that amend section 112 will not be accepted in the Government..

It are arrivals and no tourists....That is a difference

Only for those qualified... and that are the chinese??

Too loud music and noise always and everywhere Too much bass that you can kilometers away speeding and crazy car drivers hypnotized motorcycle drivers and the pretending they know everything if ask something, but they have no clue what they are talking about

not only democracy but constitution too.. Thai laws and rules to prevent civil governments is better
