It is the voice of the ones really in charge of the country...

Critics can not be done in Thailand.. another example after hotels, restaurants now the airline is complaining... The customer should look for alternatives and boycot this kind of childish behaviour...

Do you live in Thailand?

On short term yes, but the new petitions filed to the EC it could turn otherwise... and with a possibility with tanks in the streets again, I think the best way to do now is leave MFP untouched and everything would be fine

There is spend to much time already on all kind of non issues.. Enter the 21st century accept that laws can change, accept that there is opposition, Look over the land borders where other monarchies have the same lese majesty laws band how they deal with it and how the deal with opposition parties and election result and become a real democracy, instead of a pretending one

The common people are not allowed in The Government only for the elite and army fans... A good new example again. Move Forward the winner of the most votes was prevented to deliver the PM. Mr Pita was cleared form the mediashares, probably they knew already the verdict of yesterday and are hoping he will be banned for 10 years or longer and the party being dissolved. CC saved face and with new protests coming the army has a reason for a new coup.. Poor Thailand.. being hold back by such a leaders

Will this man never stop?? Who start to investigate him and surely they find things how he get his wealth or is paid for all this crap

I agree, but it was never so bad as the last years...and the tourism going back already for years and first they had the Chinese coming in, but now they don't come anymore in big numbers, and there is no is/was no investment in the tourism industry Thailand has lost a lot of its charm.

Compare the number of tourists when the THB was 40/45 for a euro, If a tourist want to have a beer at 15.00 as that is not abnormal, it is not allowed. In other countries they can order a beer whenever they want...Holiday is meant for relaxing, and if I want to vape I should not be fined.. Apparently you never went abroad and saw how relaxed your holiday is.. Go to Spain, France, Greece Turkey Vietnam or Singapore.. They don't have these laws. People look what fits best in what they want in their holiday and being bound several restrictions...And not so many tourists are going on holiday for 60 or 90 days... People have to work too

of course the interest rate should be cut. The Government wants a loan and the interest they have to pay will be too high.. so cut the interest rate easy to borrow the 500 billion for the 10k scheme

There is no point in more laws.. Start with serious enforcement of the existing ones.. Never checked if I have a driverslicense Never checked my lights, Never checked if I have been drinking. Only the sticker of the taxpayment and of you go

Same as the Koh Tao murders??? they had to confess too.. I know how the police in Thailand interrogate you, so a confession could be forced.. But if he has done it he is stupid, as he did not flee

IT will have no impact on tourism.. Most people in Europe and America have a 3/4 week holiday normally. Besides, the airpollution, political unrest, expensive THB, forbidden vaping and double pricing and alcohol buy and sales limitations are of much more impact for the tourists.. Nowadays, tourist are a target for robberies too. In Europe there is a campaign going on to travel less dfor the climate, which makes flying more expensive and people have to pay more for their daily things, which has the impact that they don't go on expensive holidays.. Tourists will always come to zThailand, but a 90 day free visa will not have an impact

I think if it there are people on the street and protests or even tanks re appear tourists will not come... But maybe I am the ignorant stupid man.. Future will point out what will happen and to call section 112 a pearl is a sign that you are very outdated

Very sad day for Thailand, and their so called democracy... Laws should have the possibility to be amended.. Updates are needed to keep on in recent times.. Law for death penalty is also out of date and new laws as samesex marriage are being brought in... I am sure Thailand will pay a price for this verdict No TAT can prevent that

Indeed a strange thing.. all over the world people don't sit and wait for the police after a murder so why did he?

Totally correct.. People should watch the movie The Way with Charlie Sheen

Very kind vendor... who are the ones to complain?? If I want to give a plate of food to someone it is my action nothing more. Can the ones who complain/comment about it not look at their own behaviour/attitude before saying something.

It is forbidden to make a fire outside, no burning is allowed nowadays and the fines are 100k for ones who do it, told my Thai partner. If you see someone making fire you can report it and you get a reward of 4000 THB. This morning we saw on 3 spots that Thai people were burning leaves and branches. Thai people told that if you call the police they don't come and so no fine and no rewards. So they said, why should we bother if someone is making a fire. If you want to solve the problem, come in action instead making rules and do nothing anymore. Indeed not the tourists will stay away , but local population have live in the dirt air and probably get sick , which cost a lot of money. But who cares in fact??

What do you expect in this country?? If you see how people behave in traffic nothing is impossible of strange anymore and the accidents that occur is just bad karma or luck they think..

The story is getting more and more confusing... Thai woman married a Swiss man. Swiss man died and her inheritage is 13 million THB. She met a new Swiss man.. they are coming to Thailand. Swiss man likes to go to Pattaya, Thai wife doesn't want it because he will look to other women and/or has a mistress... Thai wife like to gambling, but Swiss husband murders her and put fo black magic a playcard in her throat.. I assume Swiss man is not stupid and will know that murder is being punished.. Why not flee the country after he did it? Many titles policeman will get an upgrade because he solved the case, but are the facts as they announce reality? Is the Swiss man not a victim or a scapegoat?? Family of the Thai wife liked him, but maybe liked the money of the Thai wife more and they complotted to get her money and blame the Swiss man..

I don't understand why these people do this, but to make a problem of it is a bit too much... THailand is a very conservative country, and doesn't accept other thinking or behaviours.. If a few people act differently from all the other millions that will be enlarged, just as every tourist is doing it.. And than complaining about the visiting numbers. You can't do both.. wanting visitors, but as they come complain isf a few have a different behaviour

If that is true, the tax department will refund the paid tax in Belgium if it is more than you had to pay in Thailand?? As double taxes in tyhe whole world are not done.

I can not imagine that amendment of section 112 to prevent abuse of this article has anything to do with overthrowing the monarchy. And besides that in the past there was an amendment already of the same article... but maybe the army rewrote it secretly in their new constitution to use it as they want

Thailand the hub of useless ceremonies....a ceremony for everything and every day
