    That referendum was a disgusting travesty. People were threatened with imprisonment and huge fines for criticising it.

     

    "The NCPO banned criticism of the draft constitution and prohibited monitoring of the referendum. Activists against the document were arrested, detained, and prosecuted in military courts,[4] whilst voters who expressed their intention to vote against the draft were also arrested and prosecuted by the military regime.[5]"

    This was Prayut at his finest.

     

    You believe Wikipedia? Matichon is hardly impartial and the activists were not arrested arrested for protesting the document, they were arrested for breaking the law for taking part in a gathering of 5 or more people and refusing to disperse when told to by the police. This law was brought in just after the unrest in Bangkok.

     

    Even Wikipedia had to concede "The ‘Yes’ camp accounted for 61.4 per cent of the voter turn-out, while the ‘No’ faction could garner only 38.6 per cent, with 94 per cent of the votes counted on the day after."

     

    Did you know that it was drawn up by German constitutional scholars and Prayut wasn't involved?

    trump is ahead among (R) candidates. Perhaps you missed the other thread, but a majority of AMericans want trump convicted.

     

    If you really believe trump loves the US (flag humping is sick performance art, not anything patriotic) and wants to 'make it great again', then you are first in line to have a shot at the proverbial sale of London Bridge.

     

    trump is 100% self-serving. It oozes from every pore. The guy stole highly classified documents that could jeopardize US security and certainly could endanger clandestine assets. trump couldn't care less about anyone buy himself.

     

    I'm surprise anyone can reach adulthood and not see through his totally transparent schtick.

    The guy stole highly classified documents that could jeopardize US security and certainly could endanger clandestine assets. You mean Biden right?

    Think it's time the West dealt with Thailand which should of happened after WW2. If Thailand wants to get into bed with China and Russia they should learn there are consequences. Start with stopping all foreign aid, stop trade, confiscate all investments, property of all those involved in 2016 coup including the financiers! I love Thailand dearly but nothing will change till those running the country are brought down. 

    It is none of your business. If you don't like how the country is run then leave.

    I 100% disagree.

     

    Thailand cannot handle alcohol - as seen in road statistics - and YOU want to give them more drugs ? Insane. 

     

    If you can get alcohol road deaths down by 95% you may have a valid argument for releasing weed.

     

    Bit of a racist comment! The Thais happen to be our hosts, so stop insulting them in their own country. Don't like it/ Leave!

    Not quite correct. Thailand certainly picked sides in WW2 and sided with the Axis and a declaration of war was sent to the USA. There were also Thai troops fighting in Vietnam. And I read long ago that some Siamese troops were fighting in Europe during WW1, from memory they were attached to the French Indo-China colonial forces.

    They were mainly airmen. Thailand was present at the signing of the Armistice
