Mentors

I don't like the Duce from Surat Thani.

But i guess he knows very well what is going on behind the heavy curtains. He has the same circle of people backing him as the Army.

Now just sunny and flower stories ahead. Its not worth to read Thai meanstream newspapers anymore.

Business first - freedom, democracy and human rights last.

A friend of mine changed his route yesterday on Friday. Instead holidays in Thailand he will take a flight at Suvarnabhumi right away to Vietnam.

i guess he is not the only one.

They never paid a price nearly as 106 Baht in the last 12 month.

VIVA LA JUNTA! The World is watching this time

In 2014 its easy for the world to watching what the Thai Army is doing...

His phone bill rising high now

Thailand has media censorship since ever. But now it will be doubled.

I remember me some years back when truevisions kicked out some live reports and interviews from CNN.

And back in 1992 when Thai Channels suddenly broadcast newer Hollywood blockbusters instead silly soap operas to hold people away from going into the streets.

(btw this was a good idea...)

By restricting red movements, a coup or an interim prime minister is very likely.

A coup is under way. First there was a judicial coup, now a declaration of martial law, without consulting the acting government, which is putting a brave face on it. Next the Senate is moving to its Plan B or even Plan C, which is some form of appointed government. This not 2006 when there was an element of surprize and the key decison makers in government were out of the country. This move has been expected for a long time and has been planned for by all sides.

This Putsch is planned from the first day of the Yingluck Government.

The Slow Motion Putsch has arrived. Poor Thailand!

I like to sit in the early midday heat outside a 7/11, sip a Cheers X beer while the wind blows to my thin hair. Thats i call freedom

And when the Reds Shirts arrive in the inner city of Bangkok, the Army will suddenly step in...

As THAI don't have much bigger problems. Go on, your grounding is near anyway. Will not be missed in the sky.

The air for the Yellow leaders getting thinner by hour.

Even in the South i see that most shops switch off bluesky TV Channel.

Few month ago the shop owners watched it for nearly 24 hours. Not anymore. Time changing!

Good to see that many international medias no longer fall into the sweet trap made by the Yellows and Old guards.

Since a couple of days even some Thai medias start to write about what is really going on.

The clock is ticking. There is hope

TAT will helping out with rising number of quality tourists.

How long do we have to listen about the farmers. The farmers are owed this and that. The farmers have been bought and partially paid for by PTP! I do hope they get their money for their overpaid rice, but give me a break! What about infrastructure.

The roads in Bangkok can handle 4-5 million cars max, but now there are 8 million plus. The roads are completely gridlock!

I understand why people are sick and tired of all this vote buying. Thailand's going backwards with no infrastructure projects being pursued! Leave the farmers alone. Let them grow rice and sell it on the free market! That's the career they chose, so let them be happy! No more Vote Buying by anyone! It maybe already too late for Thailand to recover before manufacturing starts moving to Indonesia! Has anyone taken a Taxi in bangkok lately! I haven't because you can walk faster than a Taxi can move!

I live in Korat, so only occasionally need to visit BKK! I take BTS and MRT the whrole time I spend there! Taxi's are a Joke!

Yes wonderful, more money and infrastructure for the giant Bangkok and most nothing for upcountry, especially to the South.

This is one of the problems this country face.

First step. I think this country intends to keep squeezing and squeezing and squeezing until they force out most Westerners of whatever visa status. Both sides of the political debate want Westerners out. Anyone working here is seen as someone taking a Thai's money and job. And, as this policy shows, they can change the rules on a moment's notice. Retirement visa. Non-immigrant work visa? They could decide next week to kick everybody out of the country starting the next morning. And most Thais would probably celebrate.

Thats why it is better to rent than to buy anything expensive here. We never know what comes next.

Is Suthep paying some copyright money to the band Europe for using too often 'the final countdown'? Oh not, not using the song...so far...

The Army protects the old feudal guard and those support the Yellow Mob.

Its easy.

Shouting to Yellow Criminals who are above any law is not the best idea

Suthep will no rain allow until his reforms were done

Do you miss floods along beach road and jomtien beach road?
