And nobody believes anything a Thai politician says either.

Progress of a sort. However this seems to only be in the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has decided to allow students in the 437 schools under its supervision to choose their own hair styles and to wear casual dress at least one day a week. Not as a general rule of schools under the Min of Ed, yet.

Take a look at Thailand's neighbours and at ASEAN and compare them with Thailand. Look at the elections for example or the short term money flying out of Thailand. How about the forex rate which is slowly dropping? How about exports which are expanding or contracting depending on which reports you want to read. Tourism. Is it up or down? Back some 20 years and 2 military coups ago, when Thaksin was PM, Thailand was described as the tiger of Asia. Now it is the paper tiger of Asia.

I am happy for you that you are so interested in this subject, Meanwhile I, and probably most of the rest of the world, are getting on with real life and the daily challenges rather than fantasising about one person.

Millions of Thai people cared and still do. That is why he and the UTN only got a smaller number of votes and MPs Thailand did worse under Prayuth than any other leader.

How many people did Thaksin actually personally shoot?

But it IS their country and they have the right to say how they would like it to be. Just because they are young does not mean that they are wrong, in the same way that older people are not always right.

But you ARE defending him. Please tell us when Pratuth joined the PPRP, what constituency did he stand for and how many votes did he get? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palang_Pracharath_Party 2019 Elections Main article: 2019 Thai general election Since its founding, the party has been widely criticized for its leaders' close relationship to the junta and alleged abuse of their cabinet positions to fund-raise and campaign for Palang Pracharath. While Prayut had strong ties to Palang Pracharath, campaigned in a quasi-political fashion to promote himself in 2017-2018 prior to election campaigning being legally permitted,[24] and was seen as its real leader, he was not an official member of the party. In late January, 2019, after the publication of the royal decree formalizing the election, four Prayut cabinet ministers resigned from their positions to campaign full-time.[25] As, under the new constitution, parties are allowed to name non-members as their prime minister candidates, the following day, the party announced their three candidates for prime minister would be Prayut Chan-o-cha, Uttama Savanayana, and current deputy prime minister, Somkid Jatusripitak.[16] On February 8, 2019, the party announced that their only PM candidate would be Prayut. Uttama, party leader, remarked that with Prayut as the PM candidate, Palang Pracharath would become "invincible."[26] Prayut was nominated and was duly elected Prime Minister of Thailand by members of the lower house and every member of the junta-appointed Senate save one, returning him to the position he had held as junta leader.[24] Notes Prayut was nominated as the Palang Pracharath Party Prime Minister candidate but not a party member. Once again another Wikipedia article that differs from the one that you posted.

He was never a member of ANY political party until he joined the UTN this year. Just because Wikipedia disagrees with me does not make them correct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayut_Chan-o-cha A completely different version of Wikipedia and Prayuth. Or this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Thai_Nation_Party Which is the correct one? You need to do more research and up your game.

What do you class as a basic pick up? A single cab 2/3, a 4/5 seat 2 door queen cab, a 4 door 4/5 seat cab? Then you need to decide if you want petrol, diesel or NGV/LPG. It seems that the only thing you do want is A/T. Do you want a small pickup or a standard size. You need to bear in mind why you need a pickup as the cab size dictates the load bed size. Also you need to know the weight and size of the loads you want to carry.

Correct. You completely missed the 2019 coup. Prayuth actually got NO votes at all as he did not stand for election as either a party MP or as a party list MP. If you don't believe me, please tell us all which seat he stood for and exactly how many votes he got. You really DO need to up your game and do some research before posting rubbish.

But I will not be one of them.

It is that magic word IF again. But what IF the whistleblower is not correct at all?????

IMHO a better suggestion would be that ALL politicians retire from politics on their 65th, or even better on their 60th birthday, with NO exceptions.

Proof means nothing to him. He has none so he pumps out vast quantities of rubbish on a daily basis and vainly hopes that somebody, anybody will believe him. he has been asked for proof many times but he always tries to divert away from his words, simply because that all they are. His words, and IMHO his words are worthless as he HAS no proof. A phrase that springs to my mind on any of his posts is. "All hat and no cattle" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Hat_and_No_Cattle#:~:text=All hat and no cattle is an idiom,all talk%2C no action". All hat and no cattle is an idiom meaning "all talk, no action".

BS

I like the way that you say quote "well, give them education". If only it was that simple. You said that and not me. Please do NOT put your words into my mouth. I put my own words there. Now who do you give the free (it isn't) education to? The citizens of the country or the illegal immigrants. Where will all this money come from? From what I have read recently, the UK alone is struggling to feed and house its own citizens, (I suspect that many countries in the EU are in a similar position), so why should they suffer so that illegal immigrants can have an easier life than where they came from?

Well he has his place in history but not for that reason.

Unfortunately hope does not feed empty bellies, rebuild infrastructure, bring back children kidnapped and taken to Russia, homes and possessions stolen and destroyed or bring back the dead on BOTH sides. This is all down to one person, Putin.

You are correct. I don't understand your post at all. Why should the west be responsible for all the immigrants looking for a better life in another country. Taking in immigrants in such vast quantities degrades the ability of western countries to look after their own people. Should the Brits go to Italy and claim that they were persecuted by the Romans and made into slaves, or to go to the Viking countries, or the Angles, Saxons, Normans countries etc and claim asylum? If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. There are many people in the UK who are homeless and use food banks? Why should they be denied food and accommodation just to aid illegal immigrants with no connection to the UK? When the UK (as an example) can afford to feed and house ALL of its citizens and find jobs for them all, and there is a surplus left available, then consider allowing legai visa applicants into the west. Out of curiosity where do these illegals get the money from to get onto the boats in the first place? Who will pay their debts, because a trip on a boat to the lands of milk and honey are not free. The families that they left behind? Or do you expect the western government to pay that bill as well? quote from your post "If you get no job, no education, and get no food or shelter.......of course you'll try it in a better world, unless the rich countries will pay their debts investing in infrastructure, in education, in development.? There are many people in western countries with no jobs, poor education, no food or shelter. Why should they be sidelined because illegal immigrants WANT to come to the west where everything is free, where they are given somewhere to live, food is supplied and "free" money is given to them?

Firstly, my personal opinion matters as much as yours does. Secondly the topic is about Elvis Presley. Thirdly it is to do with the Daily Wail whose report is in the thread. Fourthly, no I have not read the Daily Wail report on the submersible incident. Why would I have done? It is not the topic being discussed here on this thread and I don't read the Daily Wail anyway.

I suppose a lot will depend on who takes over from Putin, if they are willing to end the war, leave ALL Russian occupied Ukraine, return all the Ukrainian children, families, POWs etc taken to Russia. Sadly they cannot bring the dead of either side back to life Russia will have to be prepared to rebuild the Ukraine and also surrender to the Hague all those, including Putin, accused of was crimes, where IMHO they will get a fair trial. Whoever it may be has to be strong enough to be able to do all that and hopefully hold the Russian States together as well. There will be a very big pair of boots to fill for whoever it may be. From the EU and the NATO side, they will have to control President Zelensky and the Ukraine, and perhaps temper their demands into reality. Another set of big boots to fill. Hopefully most of the politicians of all stripes, can be kept away from any deal.

Very slow news day? Actually you don't get it at all. I find that the Daily Wail is not really a newspaper any more and only seems to publish stuff like this. Whether it is the truth or not doesn't seem to make any difference to the Daily Wail and even less difference to me. They never seem to get much published other than on their own site and even rarer do you see any UK based news from them on the internet. The BBC comes up quite often as does the MSM and social web sites. Quote from your post quote "you are essentially calling the reporters and others liars." Please point out where I said that. Or do you always put your words into other posters mouths?

The good news is that by sending the Wagner group to Belarus, Putin is weakening the Russian forces in the Ukraine. Putin now knows that his position is no longer safe.

And he wasn't having an affair with another woman? Yet he dumped his first wife and married another Thai woman.
