IT is not a GPS problem but the algorithms that the different companies use to calculated routes, speed, etc....

"the military will have the power to deal with unexpected problems when they arise" like democracy

"they would face a five-year ban from politics" does that mean the great leader plans to stay for a long time

Impeachment is a formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on the country, may include the removal of that official from office as well as criminal or civil punishment.

The coup solved most of that.....

Media reform = censorship under martial law....

Never a truer word said, Thai society needs to grow up, the only thing stoping this of course is Thai society itself.

Thai society needs to grow up, the only thing stoping are: the great leader, martial law, military junta, no elections and multiple coups.....

Very glossy and superficial . Wondering why they cannot identify just one problem and talk about a solution.

The coup is not about fixing problems. It is about keeping one man out of Thailand.

BS it for keeping the Great LEader and his chronies in power as long as possible under martial law....

So if this does happen....it wouldn't take long to find the good ISPs and move over........self censoring will not work.....!!

TV does it.....

The Great Leader is losing some oompah.... start a military conflict.. people will not think of military junta, martial law, etc... and they will see the Great Leader as the saviour.... ahhhhh

So I guess that free speech is part of the 10% not successfully addressed!!

and elections

For who... the only winners so far are the great leader and his bunch of cronies

ahhhh Martial Law....

In both traditional parliamentary and presidential systems there is a check and balance between all the elements of government (ie., executive, legislative, and judicial branches). But in Thailand there can never be a check and balance because of a power bloc that exists outside such check and balance. That entity by virtue of its independent armed forces can and does decide at any time without respect to the electoral representation on what check and balance should apply to any part of the government.

So in an Orwellian sense of irony, The NLA President is correct - there is nothing truly that can cause conflict in whatever the final constitution delivers. The NCPO will maintain its absolute power over the nation. The NCPO is The Collective and like it or not, all Thais will belong to it.

CRAPOLA

How exactly does he know what direction Thailand will take after the perfectly free and fair elections that will of course take place in early 2016? Surely he has no idea who will win and what their policies will be...

He plans to stay the Great Leader till the next coup... Thats how he knows

I hope they do not use the North Korean friensship model ant it cost them $10B to get it

Excuse me for being stupid but i thought most of these free new years gifts are what a Gov is supposed to do normally?

Aside from the free admission to sufficiency ??? Centers ??? I am at loss

Yes that is what a governemt is supposed to do. But this is a military Junta, with martial law.. they do not know what a government is supposed to do.. so this is all new to them

The only reason they are suggesting a direct election of the PM is that the people who are drafting it were all hand picked by the great leader.. and who do you guess wants to be PM for life.. or of course until the next coup..

Whatever happended to free competition to obtain the best price... I would like to see the bribe budget on this one

"troops' role in dispute" well the country is under martial law... what do you expect

Thailand continued to be "deeply fractured" yes by an illegal coup, militarty junta, military NLA, and the great leader... I wonder why... the only future for a student is to enroll in the military and be part of the illegal government, mary a rich thai women, and wait for the next coup as you go up with the ranks..

what will happen to all the illegals (farang) with the visa runs.. hmmmmmm

"national virtue assembly...." yes it is called the military, under martial and the great leader.... quite a virtue... loosers.. when there is no opposition you get what you get

"without bias" give me a break... The great leader wants to be great leader till death

"It capped a visit by the Chinese premier who is the most prominent world leader to visit the country since the military seized power on May 22."

"The Xinhua news agency on Thursday (December 18) estimated the construction cost at US$10.6 billion (B350 billion)."

Well it costs a lot of money to get a prominent person to shake the hand of the great leader
