He needs to go back to making comedy movies.  

I've said all along, it was going to be him that's elected PM.  

If he had just taken his vows when he was caught, then he hadn't even started his monastic training yet.  It appears to me he was just trying to escape being caught.  Become a monk, hide out, sell a few pills to the local teenagers, hey, nice life.  Maybe squeeze in a girlfriend once in awhile.  Boom, living the dream.

Yes, absolutely horrific for all those Thai people that voted for MFP if this is allowed to happen.

 

What more can one say?

I asked a couple of my Thai friends about this, they say:  Farangs don't understand the Thai way.  ????‍♂️

It could be far worse. 

Exactly

First the Thai's are deeply in debt, and now Thailand's economy is buoyed by China's booming influence.  Something screwy here.

Indeed: Some student activity about it. I showed the paper to a friend and this was her reaction. The general population could care less 

You are correct.  The Thai's I talk to just shrug their shoulders, they know there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.  If they get out on the streets, they are probably going to get their heads bashed.  They tell me, this is politics as usual in Thailand.  Mai Pen Rai.

IMO it would be better to have slightly smaller mobs but in far more places.

 

A large angry mob in one city is easier to contain than smaller but equally angry mobs in many places. It would force the military and the police to cover a much larger area and have to split their numbers off to deal with many at the same time.

But in that case, I think they would feel threatened and pour on the violence.  Just my opinion.

If that fails there will be no new coalition,  Prayut will remain as caretaker until new elections, which will be delayed and delayed, until both MF and PT are dissolved by a court.

 

You really think they give a damn about that? Read my comment above

Exactly.  This has been the plan since Pita won the votes.

The best outcome for Future Forward (and Thailand) is for them to move to the opposition benches and let Pheu Thai reveal their true colours by joining with junta lackeys such as Anutin and the Democrats.

 

FF will utterly destroy all these clowns in the next election and will be able to reform Thailand unhindered.

 

Rome wasn’t built in a day. 

They couldn't do it this time, they won't be able to the next time either.  The elections don't mean anything to the people actually running the country,  

Most of the Thai's I've talked to say, Srettha Thavisin will get the vote and be the next PM.

No he doesn't, all is fair in love and war and if those entitled spouses and children who have reaped the benefits of their families corruption are a way to bring about positive change then bring it on

You are wrong on so many levels.  I'll bet your a lot of fun at parties.  (sarcasm).

The junta Senators all talk about the lese-majeste law as reason for not voting (or abstaining) for MFP PM candidate Pitha, but maybe this CEO has the real reason.   They are afraid of losing their military jobs and priveledges.

 

Yep, that would do it for many.

Why are you paying for unnecessary medical insurance ?  Medicare is free, part A or what ever.  Keep that, just in case you need in the future.  You never know.  The other parts, I agree, are a waste to have if living here.

Yes, true, however, if you delete Part B, and you go back to the US, and renew your Plan B, it becomes really expensive.  I know, I did that.

The authorities knew that refusing to accept the people's choice of Prime Minister would lead to rioting. This is a scenario that was just waiting to happen, and the military will feel justified in taking whatever

actions they need to quell the demonstrations; Military Junta Rulebook 101. 

Exactly.

Since practically no one on this Forum has any say in the outcome, we will see what we will see.

MFP might be a breath of fresh air for the country.

And reign in the corrupt officials who have had their fingers in the till for the last few years without a care.

MIGHT is the key word here.  

Terrible photo of him, makes him look demented.
