This will not happen! Thais still accept paying fees to officials as "sin nam jai", the 'gifts of good will' and do not see that as a form of corruption.

Spot on !! A coup is a tool! some can be good, overthrow dictators, Boliva is a good example, some can be bad !! you can not give a blanket statment saying all coup are bad !! The Thai people need to control corruption,then the Hiso.and the military once this is done you may have a democracy

Because, Thaskins goverment put in a few good policys, it does not say he was good for the country, its proven he was only looking after himself and his clan, the guy is resonsible for killings , corruption, found guily of that charge, The Thaksin government faced allegations of corruption, authoritarianism, treason, conflicts of interest, acting non-diplomatically, and muzzling of the press. Thaksin was accused of tax evasion, lèse majesté ,he is not liked by the majority of the thai poeople, Yes, the PP might win the next election, but what will happen ?? the Thai people are lethargic, democracy is fought for not given. and untill the Thai people get off there arse, nothing will change!

well that is only YOUR opinion, You can Justify a coup in the name of Democracy which is the case in Bolivia. so in some cases "yes" i would support a coup

And that is called coruption

same as you think the MFP did not form a goverment

This is based on What!!!!

Not correct, the MFP did form a coalition goverment ! It was because Pita was not voted in, as the PM by the military-appointed senate That it was decided that the party would instead allow coalition partner Pheu Thai Party to take over.

Nearly correct !! he was not elected !! he was the head of the PP who won the election but was not voted in as a PM ! by the MPs and Senate and for your info PM's are not voted in by the people, the people vote for MP's and its the MP's who vote for a PM

If you read the post correctly, you will see that the Mahamongkut Ratchawittayalai Foundation sold the land NOT the temple

Amazing Thailand

Not sure how they are going to bring down the price ?? Thailand are trying to bring in SMR's, to generate electricity, these units cost Billions baht each, and no doubt the cost will be passed on to the consumer by higher electricity price!

one day its going to be a bullet

Agreed ! but who is the Freely elected PM ?????

Elephants are timid creatures, have a social order, but dont get me wrong they are powerful and are a wild animal, people say, (mahout) they have a special bond, that is BS,"Yes" you can have a special bond with a wild animal with mutual love and respect, but these mahout give brutal training using a elephant goad which is a sharp hook attached to a handle, and is often made of bronze or steel,it can cause injury and even blindness to elephants. in Thailand its just about Money!! Thais dont care about the elephant they just see it as a money making machine for the tourist Its ashame !!!
