An example for Settha??

Happiness to the people.. with paddo's opium and cannabis... And they dare to say that the immigration has to control the criminals.. How many criminals will Thailand have soon?

Maybe there are too many holidays and there is no money anymore as they have spend it already on previous long weekends

if they were wise they would have kept their clappers shut about law 112 until they actually had been voted into power. 

I am wondering what will happen if Pheu Thai is the Government and suddenly as they are already untrustworthy start to talk about changing section 112...Would that be accepted??

In facto very easy. The biggest party is the winner of the election. They try to form a government and the PM will be from that party, unless some else seems to be more qualified.

No voting of senators or whatever. Only the coalition decides.

I don't know but maybe it is me 212 +16 makes 228 and not 238.. Or is TAT doing the math? Tomorrow is not today

I don't know how long you've been in Thailand but, often, Thais do not have kids to take care of them. Thais have kids so that, when they get old, the kid will take care of them. I suppose it stems from Thailand having no welfare system to speak of, and people do not pay into anything to get a decent pension when they are too old to work.

 

But this can have serious consequences. Kids are often palmed off to grandparents to raise, people who might be struggling to take care of themselves let alone a boisterous child. There is also little or no discipline administered, or if there is it is ignored, and so you end with with entitled little $hits who think they can do what they want.

 

Different culture to us, different needs.

I am more than 20 years living here... so I know. But still

Very expensive and not worth it... it is just a visa to collect money.. Work permits don't need to take a long time, it can be done the same day, but therefor there is a need of good computersoftware and connection with other sources as you have to copy everything over and over again. Every year again, instead of scanning the documents the first time.

exceptions if they don't follow safety measures...

Common in Thailand... I had kids in my school too that were ill, but nobody came to pick them up, even from hospital.. I don't know why some people have kids if they don't care about it. There was once a boy and we practice a show for Mother's Day with a small group and just before the performance when I asked him if he did not had to bring a gift for his mother or grandmother, as most other kids did, he started to cry and told me that nobody came to see him singing( and he is good in singing!). Sadly that even those days kids are left alone, while they preach to honor their parents

Good  move from Pheu Thai ... the first negative results are already here.... Go ahead Pheu Thai do everything to bring Thaksin home and try to take the power, unless what it will take, Voters will not accept your betrayal

What nonsense. Do you actually think people voted for PTP  because they wanted another party to govern? I strongly support Move Forward but they were given the opportunity to form a coalition government but failed by reason of a rigged system. The best that can be hoped for under the circumstances is PTP forming a minority gov to get to next May. Once the relics in the senate are gone then reshuffle the deck. Any better ideas out there?

The PTP could not accept their loss, although they hoped to be the winners of the last elections. They wanted to have the House Speaker, but failed again too, as MFP had the right for that position. They were very happy that MFP did not manage to get a government as now they did not know how quickly they had to start new talks and negotiations with other parties. They should have styed together with MFP as long as it would take. Than they showed balls. But the people voted for PTP because they hoped for changes, not to be betrayed by this party. I am also for MFP.. They were the best for Thailand, but it is impossible to get a civil government as the military will never get rid of their power. The PTP try to government but because this party Thailand has faced already several coups, and still they don't get it. It is the hunger of power of the PTP that brings everything down. Shameful...   

Pheu Thai has said they want to govern.. Let them do so and see that it probably will cost them a lot of voters next time, although they hope the people will have forgotten this scandal.. And of course they first do and than think and they will be put aside by the old dinosaurs.... they have the senators already at hand..

But what if  Chuwit is right and the court condemns mr Settha???
