No need to.. just make a total new constitution that can not be thrown away with a new coup. With a law that forbid coups in it. All problems solved at once.

As usual in Thailand, very small things are being blown up out of propotion. In fact nothing really happened as blowing a horn.. The consequences however are much worse as we could see already with a clash earlier this week. Why not keep it small, reprimand the hornblower and leave it. But now a fugutive is getting parole for much more and the hornblower is even being denied bail...  

There are much bigger issues to dela with and solve the problems than this case. Spend your time and energy to those things instead of wasting time for a small incident.

Why should Thailand be any different to all the other countries in Asia affected by pollution?  India and China have it a lot worse.

According to the WHO  Bangkok is most polluted city in SE Asia 

According to WHO the airquality of Bangkok is 15 times more than being accepted... They advise to stay indoors, wear masks outside ... Why did the Governemnt the last years nothing about it?? blacksmoke cars still driving around, almost no electric cars and charge points, no push for private solar panels, etc etc..but overcrowded roads, with outdated cars, burning  leaves and garbage  by farmers and households and temples, and nobody cares..More imporatnt issues than blowing a horn

I have just checked on the British Government website and British nationals can enter into a civil partnership with a Thai and even get married at the British Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

 

There are conditions and the process takes about 21 days, and you must remain in Vietnam during this time.

 

Neither of these two options are possible at the British Embassy in Bangkok.

 

This is what I was getting at.

 

So I apologize to myself, I was right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can do, but it is not recognized in Thailand and therefor not legal here in case a partner dies or permissions in times of sickness/accidents..Only family can claim the body or give permissions for a surgery or whatever 

Again it shows the big need there is for same sex couples to get a legal relationship. But the Thai Government promise it every time but will delay again and again too.. In the countries that have the samesex marriage the economy got a boost, but Thailand is too busy with an outdated law, instead of its people

With the looming political unrest it will soon be different

RIP to the boy... lives in Thailand are priceless..5k compensation. 

Sadly enough it is not a complete story, a teacher is not a medic and we don't know what really happened.

Now honking is also a violation of section 112. I am wondering what the threat was... A pity they overreact on this incident. It seems a big crime, why not hold it small? Overreaction as this can have serious consequences in the future. 

How can expect else in a country that has no progress but only keep outdated laws and rules, culture etc instead of updating them and enter the 21st century. Labour law should be reviewed, investors laws dito, double pricing should be abolshed and so many more... Keep the country at peace instead of focus on 1 topic that has no influence for the rest of the country.

Get arrest warrents now too for these VIP disrupting a concert....

He has the intention.... but that is nothing and how long will the full term longs?? With the stricter enforcements of section 112, the urge to wear special colors on weekdays, the Thaksin saga and the 10 k wallet scheme and surely not least maybe the dissolving of the MFP and lifetime ban for 44 MP's I foresee a short term. It is always the last drop that........ and we a very near to it 

and the two other days after Songkran why not make them holidays too?? Thailand is the hub of holidays

Softpower to attrack tourists.... Very well done

What a rubbish.. The Government is proud to support the Gay Marriage, but that is all, The will not make the law as again there are delays for committees.. talking is all there is to save face, but the reality is different.  

And citizens equal?? Why do foreigners have to pay more for some attractions? Why is there double pricing? Why are normal people in jail, and Mr Thaksin not? Why can he say and do as he likes even with violating section 112...?? Why are people who protest being followed, are accused of everything, while coupmakers have thrown over an elected Government without any punishments?? Talking indeed, but no equality only for the rich and famous, but not ordinary people and foreigners

The problem is that on those types of vehicles they should be the left of the left lane and not in the fast lane, not to mention those types of vehicles ar not permitted on a motorway. It's obviously a danger. These morons are going to get killed. 

There are no traffic rules in Thailand as you know.. Everybody does as she/he likes... Never drove on a Thai road? Why are there so many traffic deaths here? Problem is that the rules seems to be for the foreigners only ...
