  1. been her through 3 coups so best not go there. I was living in an area that American news said was a war zone..........it wasn't.
  2. copy/pasting selective sections of articles off the internet is as miselading as almost anything else that's on the internet. Different viewpoints from different authors saying different things.....on the exact same topic. It doesn't alter the fact that the army re-wrote the constitution and presented it for approval by the Thai populace and after it was approved the ruling junta altered it - an illegal act in any civilised country and met with surprise here but att he time nobody dare oppose them as they were merrily locking people up for disagreeing with them. Altering it effectively rendered it obsolete and unfit for purpose.
  3. Thai people didn't vote for "this" version of the constution. They for for "the" constitution and then it was amended and not put to the vote.
  4. Eh? We're at this juncture because even the Elites voted against Prayut.
  5. Asoke Towers in soi 21? That has stood there a long time. Well before TripAdvisor and even before the Internet?
  6. deliberately making one of them lose face will decrease your chances of finding a resolution dramatically and - due to the legislation in this country - put them in the right and you in the wrong. Regardless of who is to blame for the "incident" the one who has caused another to lose face is always deemed as the one who has erred. You have been here a while so should know this and should be used to it and not be surprised. I know it doesn't make it any less annoying but forewarned is forearmed.
  7. It's the vindictiveness and malice that makes me take negative reveiws with a pinch of salt. people just having a bad day write them, people without just cause (butt hink they have) write them, your competitors write them. Most negative ones are just vindictive vents.
  8. Married to a Thai for almost 15 years and she listens to nobody - even her friends grow weary of the fact she asks for but never takes their advice..........yet continues to make bad decisions. Learning from her mistakes is an alien concept. Yours will not change either.........you either find a way to "deal" with it or you accept the reality of potentially losing your marriage and your kid. Sounds very black & white but that's exactly what is is when adult conversations and compromise are not an option. Fortunately me & mine dont have kids with each other but we do have a business together and so we also live & work together day in/day out................it is "testing" to say the least. I have slowly constructed a seperate social life which helps with the irritation factor but it isn't a solution & it isn't healthy for a relationship. Your situation has a child involved which complicates things tenfold. I presume you can count to 10? Good luck!!
  9. they must find a way to overcome the safeguards Prayut putin place in preparation for this day & do it in a way where nobody loses face.
  10. shouldn't be hard to send them on gardening leave while it's decided what to do with them - give them time to see a bit of sense perhaps.
