Failed Bangkok Governor Candidate? Don't think so. He easily beat the old record for the most votes ever in a Bangkok election and the difference between him and the winner was minimal. At the very least the Democrat Party has lost its majority in Bangkok, far less than 50% voted for the winner, and that has been very different in the past. It is difficult however for the fanboys of the Nation to report in a unbiased way about Thai politics.

If he did not fail then he would be the governor would he not.

If you consider 200,000 votes or a difference of 20% as minimal I would hope that you are not a math teacher.

If he got more votes than Sukhumband then he would have won.

He didn't, therefore he LOST.

What is there to think about?

Sukhumband got more votes than any other Governer in the Bangkok elections as well and he still won.

I really don't trust Internet banking in Thailand. It may be relatively safe but why take a chance when all my information is as close as the nearest ATM.

My internet banking is as close as the computer on my desk whereas the ATM is 7 km away. Also I don't get wet if it is raining.

I have been doing internet banking for a few years now with no problems.

It's certainly convenient but from a security perspective it's weak. You won't have a problem, until you do.

AFAIK this is about a smartphone application and I just don't have a smartphone nor where I live in the countryside do we even have 3G.

It is the same as saying I won't have an accident until I do.

I don't intend to live my life worrying about every single thing that may or may not happen.

In other words they were talking <deleted> and don't have a clue.

Here is a hint.

When you take a poll publish not only the results but the questions as well with a contact number or website so that you can get proper feedback.

What a wonderful Minister of Finance Thailand has in K Kittirat.

A man with his finger on the pulse a full 3 years before the 2016 budget.

Lost the first place in world rice sales and now this?

Good old PTP the world leader in something but I forget what..........................

If the DSI are handling the case the claimants must be Democrats.

I have had that message every time I log onto their website for a few days now.

On the other hhhhhand I have a dumb phone so I don't worry so much.

Well, first step is saying not to be involved in (Thai) politics, following with a skype session with the executive committee in Pheu Thai HQ (aka closed cabinet session). Next young Oak will discover yet another assassination complot on his father and/or Democrat MP's trying to steal rice from government stock.

While this takes place a few more groups stuffed with learned members will provide various good reasons for an amnesty of political prisoners and other well meaning people, with UDD leaders vehement on including the sentence "except for Abhisit/Suthep of course". Furthermore there is a distinct possibility that coming Songkhran our most popular fugitive will be in Laos and Cambodia again to give all people the chance to adore him, with free transport arranged including free (rice) meals.

IMHO, of course

A man like Thaksin can't possibly survive without heaps of publicity,he's getting older now,and no doubt losing his drive,and getting more and more desperate to come back to Thailand a winner. Lets all relish in the thought the longer he is away the less chance he has of returning at all,never mind a winner!

It has ALWAYS been about Thaksin and it always will be until he dies.

He has no interest in the poor people of Thailand, little about the rich and nothing about the country at all.

As long as HE is the supreme person in the country that is all that matters to him.

His face MUST be the most important in the land and EVERYBODY must bow and scrape to him.

He has a monstrous ego that simply will not let go.

He has enough money that he cannot spend it in 20 lifetimes and if he spent it behind the scenes uniting the country quietly he would be welcomed home by now provided he kept a low profile.

He had many years to prove that he could have been a great statesman and brought Thailand into the leadership of ASEAN but his ego and greed is bringing Thailand to ruin.

Do a search on the forum as a member called Crossy (I think) knows a lot about this sort of thing.

Search the forum under standby generators.

Landline and internet line is different. And now if you have tot wifi tower, they wont deploy adsl box (they may if internet demand surges up)

When I have called the TOT call centre with a problem (only when the local guys have gone home for the day) the nice young ladies ask if the ADSL light is on or not I try to explain that I don't have an ADSL link but that doesn't fit into the stock box answer. I don't have an ADSL line but her response is, is the light on or off so now I just tell her no ADSL light and she is happy and logs it as a fault.

I still don't have a phone line either.

I live in Khampaeng Phet province by the Mae Wong national park.

The nearest weather station is in KPP and according to them we have had 8mm of rain this year which is about right. That was in 2 days.

Over the 30 years average it should be 14.8 mm and 3 days. I think it is going to be a long hot dry summer this year.

Strange problem on the country side in Isaan!

First I sign up for 3bb the chancel everything no signal in my area!

My gf told about tot, that 10 people must sign up that the can run dsl!

Did someone in this case every pay the full coasts?

Maybe 500€ not enough! When I pay the coasts alone?

What the regular setup price for tot Internet?

Also the tot hotline don't know anything I give them my adress in thai but the hotline woman was unable to locate in computer !

We call you back was the aswer!

You need to find more people in your village to split the costs of dslam field box and then you pay for phone cable install from dsl box to home.

I live in Khampaeng Phet province and I am about 4 km from the nearest landline and I applied for a line too.

They said 10 people have to sign and it should be OK.

I applied and I am still waiting. That was EIGHT years ago.

Fortunately we now have a TOT wireless link which is pretty much OK.

What is going to happen to the people in the land office who issued the paperwork in the first place?

That would be a good starting point.

There used to be Jools Bar and restaurant up Soi Nana on the left side past the Heidelberg.

They did great meals including liver, bacon and mash plus roast dinners.

It used to be owned by a guy called Dave I think and he must have enjoyed the food as his bar stool was especially made and reinforced with steel.

I haven't been there for years so I have no idea if it is still there or not. The Bus Stop a little further up on the other side did super Fish and Chips.

I must have missed the post that said

But, but, but the Democrats.............

I have carefully read the story but I couldn't find anywhere how much the interest on the principal would be nor how many years it would take to repay the loans.

Come to think of it until the high speed rail links are up and running AND making a profit Thailand will be bleeding money for decades.

Only a week later, a top-level powwow ended up with the suggestion that the government would extend an olive branch to the insurgents by employing Article 21 of the Internal Security Act.

This is not true as the negotiations was in the making for months. It was reported in the Asian Times a month ago, there was bill boards setup in the south a couple of months back extending the olive branch. TS was in the process of setting up negotiations before he was taken out. Conservatives will go to great lengths to discredit any settlement in the south.

How come a convicted criminal fugitive is conducting negotiations on behalf of the people of Thailand?

Who else would have enough money and the right connections?

A simple reason.

Money.

And will whoever wins the election resign publically if graft and corruption is found and hand over to the secon in the election?

Yeah, right and my name is Oberon, King of the Fairies.
