Take out this thug. Or just cut all of the subsidies given to Southern Rubber tappers.

That is what started this.

The Rubber Road Blockages. When that did not work, the rest is history.

Lets pay the Rice Farmers, Please Election Comission as you do have the POWER to make it happen, the Gov. Pledge to buy the Rice.

and They did NOT Pledge to buy Suthep's "Rubber Stock" (That is what started all of this) btw

Get real folks, The Dems and Suthep were in power to make these Reforms that now they are asking for, but they did what they always, do, nothing. Why is that?

Just a little bump

Just bring out the army already, do the traditional massacre on Ratchadamri or some other key point in central Bangkok and get it over with. Everyone knows this cycle will end that way. it always does.

No way Briggsy,

I have another cunning plan..............................................

Why not have an early Songkran to get rind of "The Mob".

From the website:

Fee: 2,000 Baht includes visa & meal.

The info abut the price is consistent with the report in the German forum.

The information about the photo is contradictionary to (no photo needed).

That is the very best offer that I have seen on this forum.

For 1,300 Baht per person from Bangers and Mash to Phu Nam Ron the closest border crossing from Bangkok with a lunch of Western food? is OK, I think.

The 700 Baht is for as ubonjoe mentioned many times before.

Thank you ubonjoe

So basically, if you have a full van then (10 people) 13,000 Baht per trip, looks good to me for a round trip of say 500 to 600 kms or a bit more

Or if you have a bunch of you that needs to do a visa run, hire your very own Mini-Van and visit Kan for a day or two.

Win

(I have this from a detailed report in a German language forum)

Please could you PM me with that link.

Thanking you in advance.

Win

A pity the price is still 2000, but if things are done for you it is convenient.

I think in a few weeks it will be more busy.

Does the 2,000 Baht include the 700 Baht for a visa? or just the Transport and lunch?

A PR holder btw who would like to know and to tell folks in Kan about this visa run option.

Win

I think they will NOT vote for them again, the ones that did vote as you said, the Dems, as their Dem Party let this Country down and their own supports.

Me think it was more like 16 million as there are only approx. 46 million that have the right to vote and the PT got 20 million or so.

The rest went to the other Parties that contested in the Last Elections.

Please correct me if me sums are wong!

your sums are wrong.. 20 million voted in total that was including no votes, votes for other candidates (seemingly there were 54 parties in the election) and invalid votes..

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_general_election,_2014

Sorry for not being Very Clear on this matter.

I was referring to When the Dem Party contested in their Last Elections

Thank you for your post by the way to clear up the mess that I made in me the quote above

Sawadee

Thank you for the offer, however I do not give my phone number to anyone that I do not know.

So, no, thank you.

Win

It is also 14 February (Friday) Makha Bucha Day so no booze on that day as well.

2. There are not 70 million voters in TL

I said population of 70 million (the people).

And the Dems stopped 20 million people voting? Wow, gotta give them credit.

And any Dems who did vote won't have voted PTP.

Hi Win.

I love this shot especially the cloud formation. The only thing that detracts from it is the bright wooden railing in the bottom right corner. It really pulls the eye there.

David

Hi David,

Thank you for your C&C,

The reason why I left it there was that Folks can see the Depth of Field in this Photo.

Nothing more and nothing less.

Peaceful protesting is his constitutional right. Where is the proof he ever incited violence? There is none that I can recall, he always told his people not to be violent, which is some cases he was unable to control.

If anyone is being political, it is Nopparat Banjawattanan.

This defrocking will be seen as totally political.

Only in Thailand eh?

Quote

Mr. Nopparat added that the Abbot Council has concluded that Buddha Issara had violated the regulation of the Sangha Supreme Council by engaging in political protests

Please read that.

* take advantage of the growing disaffection of the rural poor with PTP and devise policies that promise them a better life (why haven't they already done this?)

* broaden their appeal in the above way and stop relying on the elites and southerners for support - Thailand is not only Bangkok & Hua Hin.

* stop relying on coups (military or judicial) to provide power and consistently use democratic channels to power (not just when convenient)

In this way, they can become emblematic of REAL meaningful democratic values - of course, reforms are necessary to achieve a fair system, reforms which prevent both PTP, Dems and others from abusing politics for thier own benefit (Not only Thaksin but Dems like Suthep have been doing this for years, feathering their own nests).

The Dems with Suthep were in power in 2008 to 2010, so why did the Reforms that are being asked/demanded by them not taking place during their term in the office.

Makes me wonder!

Win

Hi Folks,

My PR was issued by the ruling Party of the Day in 2002.

Did the Dem Party when they were in power ever issued any?

Wonder what would happen if the total number of people who vote NO is greater that the number of votes PTP might get? A legitimate goverment with a mandate from the people.

The problem with this election is there are a very significant % of the population who have no one to vote for as the Dems aren't running. Remember they polled 12 million or so last time out.

So irrespective of the rights or wrongs of the Dems boycotting the election which is a separate issue. A large part of the voting public simply have no one to represent them.

So we end up with a democracy where a significant chunk of people are not represented. Fair?? Honest?? Right??

That's what Suthep should be doing.. VOTE NO

For the last week He should have been saying that this is the way to oust them, play them at their own game. Have the elections but lets all stand up and say NO..

To late now..unfortunately

Photos taken in Kan btw

Like in 2011 then

and then the one for the Vote, the kid made me laugh

One things the Kid was ......................................................up to you

Win

I will try at the end of March because I actually would like to visit Burma from what I understand it is not a crossing border that one is farther north. Again I am just going on what we were told because we had no problem with driving in a few hours and seeing some of Burma for the day. You know how it is with these places ask 50 different people get 100 different answers.

I have ACDSee 3 Pro send me PM and the Real Original Photo me and lets see what Kan be done with my magic wand.

BANGKOK: -- The red-shirt United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) will hold a mass rally nationwide on Friday, red leader Nuttawut Saikuar said.

Due to the fact that it will be "The Chinese New Year The Year of the Horse" this Friday 31st Jan 2014.

So Folks, please stop nagging
