  1. Than it is easy... Replace the current one with the 2007 constitution and bring the coupmakers to court, instead of spending a lot of time and money to amendment one that is written by the coupmakers
  2. British people are known for the use of alcohol... Maybe they should have checked him before letting him on the plane. If other drugs are used, I think it is not wise to fly, who ever it is. Anyway the reason for this behavior is not known, but it is not normal. Make a blacklist of these people
  3. My neighbour was a teacher and was elected as an MP. However in her house there was whole pile of newspapers and boxes in front of the windows. When she got flowers she lay them on top and after 6 months they were still laying there... I don't say all Thais are dirty or smelling people...I just want to say that it is not a case alone...And I have been in many Thai houses
  4. and all the protestors now that so called violated the section 112 law?? They are not convicted by the military junta courts?? Free them too
  5. Typical Thai... the man sends money but the wife spend it on....?????? Besides that keep the rubbish, don't take care of the children and help seems to be impossible.. She can work,clean her house and than probably she will have enough money. But I think debts from gambling are the main issue. Illegal gambling cost a lot of people serious a lot of money as they are addicted. In my neighbourhood there is a same situation and helping is impossible even with a total monthly income for her of almost 30k a month..Sadly for the boys to have a life like this and surely a issue for the Government, but they are too busy with what we have to wear and horns
  6. Old and very old cars out of the city, Busses and taxis should be electric ones replace the old ones and please not a crackdown but a very high fine for blacksmoke cars all over the country. Today it was announced that burning rubbish and leaves was forbidden, but in the morning when we walk around there are every day surely 3/4 spots were people are burning. What is the purpose of talking but no enforcements??Problems never be really solved but return everytime and get worse and worse
  7. 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.
  8. Thai Government at its best... No information no preparing and no data, but talking waste time and nothing really happened. Result they have shown that they want to do something about it but not yet... same the gaymarriage, sound and airpollution, and name it..They want to be a tourist hotspot, but no efforts can be made as nobody want a real change
  9. A miracle.... as expected..... Shame of Thailand now they show how corrupt the Thai justice system is. Ordinary people are being punished, those with money and/or high ranked can do as they want
  10. Good news... Let them dissolve the house and new elections and see what will happen now... They will loose a lot and the winner is MFP
  11. Empty promises for not to loose face. If they really want it they could have done it already and even years ago, but with the same Government dinosaurs and endless committees and meetings it will take at least 1 year more
  12. 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.
  13. Probably it will take another few years, as the in 2018 the Government claimed to be the first country in SE Asia to have the same sex marriage, with nothing happened after. In 2020 Mr Prayuth told the LGHBTI+ community in June as a gift to make the relationships legal. Committees were formed, information meetings with several groups etc etc, but nothing happened anymore. Now with the latest elections MFP said they could do it in 100 days when they were in office, but the dinosaurs prevented it an Pheu Thai support the bill but again 3 bills were approved and another committee to make 1 bill out of the proposed. How difficult canm that be with all information of previous committees .. Now they need another month again and than the bill will be presented. Believe me amendments should be made again and than end of the year maybe another reading. If approved a third reading is needed and approval of the king which also can take 4 months... Another year to wait in the meantime. How difficult can it be. In the current marriage law, change man and woman in a person and with exception of adoption and children as these subjects need special arrangements, approve the bill and finished. That is equality
  14. According to the WHO Bangkok is most polluted city in SE Asia
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. With the looming political unrest it will soon be different
  19. WE have been a member of an expat club too, but we quit this year after 3 years membership. Reason is simple.. but too far from our home and the activities are more for the elite class than for common people. Besides that as we have drive 60 km to the activity and 60 km back in the dark I can't drink alcohol as in Thailand you never know what to expect on the road and as a foreigner with alcohol there are more problems.. So for us it has no value...Although we liked it somehow, but because we were almost never at the activities, we didn't get to know a lot of people and so we felt a bit lonely..Anyway we will see... living in our place is good too I don't need expats
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. TAT and the numbers always a party... 13,3 percent more Chinese tourists compared to when?? last week?
  23. 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.
  24. Get arrest warrents now too for these VIP disrupting a concert....
  25. 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
