I really hope they get a substantial number of MPs so they may have some influence on future policies. It's heartening that they seem to be ruling out any coalition with the military backed parties at least. The pragmatist in me though see's the only real hope of achieving regime change, considering the nailed down 250 Senator military votes, is some form of alliance with PT.

We live not far from the training school and often have trainers flying over our house. On Saturday one of them passed over heading in the direction of the airfield with a badly misfiring engine, wonder if that had anything to do with the accident?

Thanks, I just looked at my last online 90 day printout and the fine has gone up to a maximum of 5000 bht......crikey!

I thought it was a 2000 bht fine for missing your 90 day report?

376 seats out of the 500 up for grabs is unlikely but not impossible and will require several coalition partners. It's only a realistic prospect if PT and Move Forward are in the same coalition.

His Constitutional Court appointees have already ruled that he can serve up to another 2 years.

I finally realised how bad things have got when wifeys friends are all posting pics of their electricity bills on Facebook instead of their lunchtime somtam.

He also said, however, that he is ready to accept whatever the poll results turn out to be. “I will just go home. Where else could I go?” If you hadn't granted yourself an amnesty for past crimes you'd be being hauled off to jail.

He's got all the inside info on all the rich and finest Thai's who used to frequent his massage parlours. I'd be surprised if that info didn't include plenty of video evidence either. Hopefully he has it all well hidden away for when the time comes to write his memoirs.

If the opportunities available in the army to conscripts are so lucrative then why are civilians not beating down the doors of recruitment offices to enlist rather than be conscripted in?

Thailand has bought hundreds of armoured vehicles but chooses to send it's police out on patrol in a war zone in pickups. Callous disregard of human life by those in charge for those serving their country.

PT got 136 seats at the last election whilst Palang Pracharat came second with 116. PP got a slightly higher percentage of the popular vote because PT did not contest as many seats. The 250 army appointed Senators voted unanamously that Prayut be selected as Prime Minister......it happened once and could easily happen again.

The way he has rigged the electoral process 13% of the vote plus the support of his hand picked, unelected 250 senators could see Prayut become the next PM.

Fukada.... I'm sure she does.

What are the chances that a Sodastream is installed in those concrete tanks?

"He went on to sing and dance on the stage which is allegedly a violation of the electoral law." Don't worry he has an amnesty for that too.

Yes, it's ridiculous how long this is taking as the route was started nearly 9 years ago. I drive under the completed intersection at the end of the route everytime I go into Kanchanaburi and bushes and trees started growing out of the concrete work several years ago.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how the military react should the intention become reality if FF and PT win the coming election. I can't see those in charge of the armed forces giving up conscription without some sort of fight.

I believe Future Forward and PT have both stated they intend to end conscription.

Yeah we used to do that too until we saw somebody letting a soi dog get a drink from the filler hose......back to bottled.

And what sort of experience did Prayut have to make himself Prime Minister except being somebody who can't be mentioned bodyguard?

Hopefully Prayut, Prawit and all the other illegal coup makers will be in the adjacent call.

Petrol cars have a 1% chance of catching fire? As I can't access the article I assume that is over the lifetime of the car.

Maybe they have a conscience and want nothing to do with Putin's illegal genocide in Ukraine.

Wifey and our 4 year old daughter both had covid in March of last year and despite normal family contact and sharing a long car journey I kept on testing negative. Wifey had no symptoms at all but tested +ve for about 10 days. Daughter ran a very high temperature for just over a day but it broke very quickly and she was back to normal after about 36 hours. Both wifey and I were fully vaccinated at the time. I've never had an antibody test so no idea if I had it and tested negative or if I escaped infection.
