More like a witch-hunt based on a family business who's family businesses was corruption - and much worse. There's nothing wrong with that if the end result benefits the whole country. The 'family business' clearly didn't.

It seems the only thing dear tbthailand's capable of doing is 'begging the question'

Like many foreigners you live in a fantasy dream...

I love the projecting portion of his statements....

Same here - back in Austria I have only ever know front loader washing machines, and was amazed at the top loaders (which I considered as backwards).

BTW you still having no idea only gives a QED effect.

I wonder if he even realizes what he did. ROTFLOL.

No EC country or Bangkok based Ambassador believes otherwise than Mr Kent on the defects of the current government, awkward though that may be for some of you.

I assume you have the sources to back up that claim? Oh right, you don't. As usual.

You see, the problem with activists like yourself resorting to utter absolutes is that absolutes always make those who use them be wrong all the time. This is an absolute statement that is always right. ;-)

General Prayuth meets with TEBA business leaders

Maxme - Do you now say that Yingluk's pushing for, and maintaining the Rice Scheme, against all signs of financial losses, was responsible and a fine decision?

Annoying how those who lived in Thailand for several years think it makes them all-knowing about situations they are actually clueless about.

Posting glib and irreconcilable commentary here is inappropriate. No, coups do not sit well with me, but are the Thais stockpiling weapons over this? Are the Thais screaming bloody murder over this? I speak to Thais, I love Thais, and they are of the opinion that any government that helps them is good. They simply do not care this is a coup. (...)

Enough is enough, posers.

Well said - sadly we have the likes of LazarusRising and tbthailand's who have appointed themselves as 'supreme protectors of thainess' and feel they can only do that through misrepresentations and lies.

There is no case. That facade is crumbling. Delay, delay, delay. (...)

Try writing your comments with logic and reasoning instead of meaningless rhetoric as if a semi-literate child wrote it and then maybe some us will bother to consider what you say.

LOL.

LG front loader - now has been lasting me for over 12 years. It's the brand you buy, not the type you buy.

No.It is a summary of the position related to me by a senior member of an EC embassy official in Bangkok.

Considering that you and your friends have a tendency to be quite loose with the truth, your claimed source is quite doubtful, at the very least.

Don't be a dolt.Every statement on this anonymous forum can be questioned in that way.If however you can demonstrate the EC position on Thailand is other than described, by all means do so.

As long as you fail to support your claim, I don't have to, particularly since you are demanding to prove a negative. Look that one up.

Until you do, your claim is just another "because I say so" assertion. Furthermore, the statement about Prayuth's travels to Europe is based on tbthailand's earlier 'assured assertion' that Prayuth was banned from travel to Europe -- until he was proven incorrect by pesky facts (notably Prayuth traveling to Europe).

I'm not 'required' to do anything for you, daffy.

but you already read and understood my post and you know what the truth is.

Play your stupid game of scoring points with some other poster.

quack quack

Cognitive dissonance - it provides wonderful entertaining. That and Dunning-Kruger.

The contortions you go through to avoid losing perceived face are almost Thai-like.

No.It is a summary of the position related to me by a senior member of an EC embassy official in Bangkok.

but we don't need citations, do we Daffy?

Don't extrapolate from yourself onto others - you *are* required to back up your assertions with actual sources, lest they be considered fantasy-borne fabrications, particularly since you have a history of such (I need only refer to your insistent assertion that Prayuth was forbidden to travel to European countries - whoops).

You consistently assert lots of nonsense as if it were fact, or quote laws and directives deliberately out of context, to fit your narrative - and consistently ignore most instances when others correct you, or point out that you are wrong.

Face it, you have zero credibility at this point, as you are known to be consistently frothing at the mouth while deionizing the Prayuth government - so, yes, buddy - you ARE required to support your assertions with sources.

yes, you are playing because creating a proper environment for democracy and elections is clearly not the objective of the Prayuth 'government'.

Citation needed for what you assert as fact, yet which is none.

Oh, never mind. I forgot who I'm asking.

I guess this is similar to your sure-fire assertion that Prayuth was forbidden to travel to Europe, right.

Considering these are opinion based assertions, I would posit none of it is true.

But if it makes you feel better thinking so, to support your narrative of a paranoid worldview, go right ahead.

You really should learn what the words that you are fond of using actually mean, though.

The question was posed to you, to ascertain what you feel a relevant timeframe for the next ejections would be - a question you are evading.

Here, I'll play - I believe that the Prayuth government should take their time, whatever necessary, to create the proper environment for democracy and elections. Personally, I feel this should take a minimum of 3 years, no longer than 5 years.

Either are an insignificant time, to get things right, consider all that is at stake.

The majority of Thais appear to agree, considering only a fringe appears malcontent, mostly on principle.

Yes, he does, doesn't he?

I'm waiting Daffy

Do you now say that Yingluk's pushing for, and maintaining the Rice Scheme, against all signs of financial losses, was responsible and a fine decision?

so they picked on 9 (lucky number) when it is well known in thailand that EVERY police force control the soccer bets (via the collectors of course)

people have nailed it on here this is one big power struggle between the corrupt RTP and the equally corrupt Military.......in 3 years it will swing back to the police again

Close, but no cigar. This is not so much an RTP vs Military thing, but more ( for the sake of argument and oversimplification ) a "yellow" vs "red" thing and who they respectively support and idolize.

I agree. This seems more like one faction of police with certain loyalties correcting some imbalances in power (and taking retribution) against another faction with different loyalties. I don't think it is the army that is pulling the strings here.

Maybe, but then why did this faction wait until the army was in control to do what they want to do? I don't think they are operating in a vacuum.

I'm American and wish the US government would stop sticking their nose into other country's affairs. I believe most Americans feel the same as me.

Maybe you should spend more time in the library, instead of Walmart.

Attacking someone for their own views, now that's being smart.

He was speaking for 'most Americans' and I resent that.

Why? Because *YOU* represent most Americans?

And I answered.

No, you didn't. Then again, evading salient questions and refusing to provide relevant answers are par for the course for the likes of you, tbthailand, sjaak, etc...

Thank you, Ricardo.

Indeed, Gt-200 started around 2004. Must be the Junta using their time machine again ;-)

Seems legit, since the regular detractors like tbthailand et al make use of time machines themselves.

There's also a certain hypocrisy in the U.S.' Position, considering their long-standing habit of propping up and supporting military regimes across the world.

These plots will start changing hands tomorrow.

It has already been established that the land can not be sold.

Apparently you too belong to the group that likes to make up assertions, even if you know them to be incorrect.
