... who's father was allowed to come back, dodge incarceration and openly manipulate politics, by their peers and predecessors.

But Thaksin was found guilty by the courts controlled by the illegal military coup that overthrew him.

If the coup was illegal, then every judicial decision following must be illegal as well.

Win the most votes and denied by the Senators to form a Government!!!

Actually whichever party wins the most seats (251) AND can form a single or a coalition government Is the most important. If any party wins less than 251 seats and cannot form a coalition government, they lose by default, then the party with the next number of seats gets the opportunity.

That was all in the plan of genius Thaksin.

Could you all not see it? Pretend to lay in bed with the powerful military first then once their guard is down pick them off one by one as we have all seen. Anutin being the last to be forced out. 
Next fresh elections where PPP and PTP will form the new government as per the voters wishes 

I do wish that I were able to know the result of the next election in Thailand before it is even held.

Myanmar’s military junta has recaptured the Kataingti camp in Karen State following months of resistance control, signalling a renewed push to reclaim ground in one of the country’s fiercest battlegrounds.

 

The outpost, located along the Hpapun–Kamarmaung road, had been held by joint forces led by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) since January. Junta troops launched a coordinated offensive on 7 June, combining ground assaults with air-dropped supplies and bombing raids. After several days of fighting, the Military Council successfully reoccupied the camp and surrounding areas, including the district hospital in Kataingti village.

 

“It’s true that the junta forces have retaken the Kataingti camp,” confirmed Lieutenant Colonel Saw Kler Doh, spokesperson for KNLA Brigade 5, speaking to Mizzima on 12 June.

 

Local sources said the junta offensive was launched from the Kamarmaung side, with reinforcements sustained over a four-month campaign. Casualties were reported on both sides, though independent verification remains difficult due to restricted access.

 

Despite the loss, resistance forces retain control of other camps in the region, including Ku-Seik, Ma-Htaw, Taungthonelone, and Sin-Swe (Htee Ka Saw Me). They also maintain blockades around key junta positions, including the Hpapun Strategic Command, indicating that control of the area remains contested.

 

Villagers near Kataingti have voiced deep concern over renewed military presence. “Whenever a camp is retaken, nearby villages usually face more attacks,” a local resident told Mizzima. “People are afraid of being displaced again.”

 

Karen State, in Myanmar’s southeast, has been one of the most volatile regions since the 2021 military coup, with ethnic armed groups and local defence forces gaining substantial ground. In response, the junta has escalated its air operations and intensified military campaigns in contested areas like Hpapun Township.

 

The fall of Kataingti underscores the fragile hold both sides have over territory in Myanmar’s civil war, where control often shifts violently and civilians remain caught in the crossfire.

Retaking an outpost  is one thing and comes at a cost to both sides.

Holding it and keeping it resupplied in "hostile territory" will be more difficult.

Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s

 

Uh-oh!

 

Sanctions and tariffs incoming..............

But not from Sweden.

The lack of a comprehensive maintenance plan by the Royal Thai Air Force precluded selling F-35s.  There are probably around 12 countries globally that qualify in that regard.  Besides Thailand is too close, literally and figuratively to 'Big Brother' China.

I am so glad that the USA will not sell the F35 to Thailand.

It is too expensive to buy in the first place, plus the hourly flying cost is very high, as is the daily maintenance costs and will require too much manpower. It will be restricted to large airbases and cannot operate from main highways as the Gripen can.

It still has many problems that need to be solved and it will bind Thailand to the USA, which currently, is an unreliable partner.

??????

But that is for 4 aircraft and not 1. Look at the current price of 4 x F16, then add in the hourly flying cost, and in to the price the daily maintenance costs, the ability of the Gripen to use main roads and the F16 is 3 or 4 times as expensive to buy and run. In addition, the current clown in the White House may or may not not permit Thailand to buy them anyway.

Currently the USA is an unreliable partner to do business with.

Which is why many come here to have a relationship with a much younger woman who is only looking for gold , and doesn't care what she sleeps with as long as she can show of that gold to her "friends". Still better to get a working (legit) woman who has at least some self esteem about herself and doesn't need to rely on a man's money and is actually looking for that sustainable relationship where both do their share. 

That works for us.
