Was there a coup? Are coups legal? Why hasn’t he been charged with treason? Could the courts be corrupt? Does this cast doubt on the Thaksin (and Yingluck and Thanathorn) charges and convictions? What would a rational person conclude? Hmmm??? "Was there a coup? Are coups legal?" Yes there was a(nother) coup and previous coups set the precedent, whoever seizes power then has the right to issue laws having torn up the previous constitution. The judiciary then says that the constitution is no longer there and those orders, signed by the coup-makers then become laws, and that gives the coup-makers the legal tool. Whoever has the ability to seize power then becomes sovereign and they issue laws. "Why hasn’t he been charged with treason?" Because Thaksin didn't commit treason! "Could the courts be corrupt?" Yes, just as in every other country, including yours and mine, they can be and some are. "Does this cast doubt on the Thaksin (and Yingluck ) charges and convictions?" No, not necessarily. They both committed serious offences. "What would a rational person conclude?" You've had my conclusion to your questions, now what would a rational person conclude about it?

Exactly, it is not comparable to pantos.

Jesus Christ...get real, you left out the fact that women dress as men in panto also and that it is panto, not drag. You'd take your children to a real drag show?

Seems that you don't know what real fascists are if that's what you really think.

Thailand's tap water is safe for consumption!

Well said. Checking corroborative news sources elsewhere is not a trait generally attributed to most AN posters.

Only between 12.00pm(lunchtime) and 2.00pm, then after 5.00pm? As posted, alcohol can be bought during the daytime in Thailand, it can also be bought during the hours that you point out that for which some outlets have restrictions.

Thankfully, you get no say in what I post here, stop trying to be clever..."all the time".

Only between certain hours. Stop trying to be a clever .... all the time..... My deepest apology for correcting a blatant inaccuracy, maybe those who post them should stop posting them..."all the time"?

Every visitor and every Thai pays tax here of some description, there's nothing special about you.

No.

Maybe because their medical bills are covered by their governments they are not a liability to the Thais government as uninsured foreigners are.

Read the OP and the numerous other articles elsewhere that cover that.

How come the tourists are still coming in droves, then?

Paying the fee is not purchasing an insurance policy for individuals, it's for the government's benefit.

Alcohol can be bought "during daytime"!

Added on to the air ticket price, why should it be an issue at Suvarnabhumi?

Gawd...

Yes! Do you understand the meaning of "Criminal Treason"? You do understand that he has not been charged with "criminal treason" don't you? Obviously, not.

Was the "box" ill?

The Asians that the article specifically mentioned?

Complete nonsense.

Only in your mind, Russians were not mentioned once in the reports...unless you're counting Russians as Asians.
