  1. Or a UK retiree with a frozen pension should be easy to find in Thailand
  2. The corruption culture is imbedded in society, it starts in the schools with parents paying for higher grades or school placements, or to pass driver’s license tests students learn young and unfortunately some go into the police or goverment, Its part of the Thai's way of life, Thai's are in some form of coruption, There are different forms of corruption, including bribery, embezzlement, extortion, networking, under-the-table transactions, manipulation of the election result, money laundering, and lots more.
  3. correct its NEVER CHECKED get mine signed by a friend in thai and no stamp never had a problem
  4. what has this got to do with the topic at hand, " EC Endorses All MPs Elect"
  5. For Thailand, it’s common knowledge that corruption is a problem. The first is the impact on the development of the country. The problem started for a long time. It’s deeply rooted in almost every profession, both public, private and public. Corruption in Thai society has long been associated with the way of life of Thai people or is said to be part of Thai culture. When the problem is bound to the Thai society. The result is that some Thai people see that corruption is corruption. It is normal and acceptable.
  6. The house he is in is Army he is retired the goverment is paying for this house as PM he wont be PM for much lomger dont know what the unelected PM has to do with this
  7. what about 300 mil Palang Pracharath Party no word hidden by junta
  8. Ruangkrai Leekitwattana does not know when to give up, if i was him i would be watching my back and trying to keep family safe,if pita does not get to be pm i think he would be leaving the country as he would be hated by the people.
  9. what has this to do with MF FF is in the past, again this was the junta finding excuses
  10. Do you know what 1984 is, becuse that is what you describing and which will not happen
  11. Of course its win or lose MF WON the election For get about the popular vote, its how many seats in Parliament that counts. Theoretically ANY party could form a goverment but would not last Thats WHY parliamentary seats are the most important
  12. Do you not know who won the election ?? MF did Almost Is Not Good Enough
  13. Thaksin Shinawatra and Prawit Wongsuwan have been plotting for two years, aiming to strike a deal in which Pheu Thai would support Prawit to be the next prime minister, and in return Prawit would ensure Thaksin can come home safely without facing any jail time.
  14. Wonder if Prayut is packing his bags yet looking for a new house???
  15. Fun and games not over yet, but first step.
  16. This is just rambling does not make sense. war mongering against Myanmar?????
  17. Does not matter if Pita played clean or not, do you think Pita and MF are going to be allowed to form a goverment ??? This was all designed and written into the Junta constitution; the Military/Establishment side in Thai politics knows that they are unable to win a fair or fair-ish election, so they added poison pills. Delay, Delay carry on Payut. The EC was appointed by the Junta and will always find something to question based on their "interpretation" of the rules. Moreover, they'll take their sweet time in doing so against an opposition candidate as every day after the election goes by, the sense of momentum of the winning, Pro-Democracy side wanes just a little. Finally, after they have done their best to blunt a sense of momentum, they'll refer the case to the NACC "out of an abundance of caution" so that the new PM will be referred to as the "under investigation (insert name)". Next is the NACC. The NACC will conduct a "fair and complete" investigation and take their sweet time about it in order to continue the policy of blunting momentum and casting aspersions on the Pro-Democracy side. Hmm... isn't Prawit's former aide still Head of the NACC? After the NACC, the Constitution Court will weigh in. Remember them? The ones who decided that an army regulation superseded the Constitution so that Prayut could live rent-free on an army base? The Senate. Since you all know about the Junta-appointed Senate, I won't waste my time. The process is clear as day. "Concerns" will be raised. Bull<deleted> rules and regulations will be cited. "Doubts" will be cast. "Questions" will be asked. In August , approximately four months after the election, when the momentum from the election has worn off and the leading candidate or candidates from the opposition side have been tarnished in the name of "making sure everything is correct", then they will decide if they want the tarnished candidate or they decide that "more investigations" are needed to "ensure fairness" and muddy it up further. This is all by design and was planned a few years ago.
  18. Do you think Payut is going to hand over anything, this caretaker goverment is going to be here for a long time, delay ,delay
