It's not a landslide. The exit-polls are inheritable flawed.

Exit polls are rarely wrong though. So now we have to question is the vote count being tampered with?

How could these exit polls be wrong? The ex told me when she and her sisters/granny voted today they were asked when leaving who they voted for by nice uni kids with clipboards, Standing next to the kids were "friends" of the folks who had handed out envelopes of cash a few minutes before, listening and watching what was written down. What were they going to say - they voted for the other party? She also said there were "helpers" who were showing people how to mark their ballots.

Wow 'ex sisters/granny' report why do I bother reading the press...

Former Pheu Thai Party leader Thaksin Shinawatra

No he isn't.....

He can't even tell the truth in his press statements...

Why don't you try to understand the difference between comment and press statement then read it again...

Isn't democracy nice ? Congratulations to PT for this landlside victory.

Of course the expats on TV talk about corruption, vote buying, red green blue. Lucklily these same expats don't have any right to cast their votes, unlike the Thai nationals, who have clearly spoken and have choosen their representatives. Maybe it is about time that these expats accept the results of this general election as the true democrats that they proclaim to be.

I totally accept the victory. Like I would accept getting crab lice. Then it's time to visit the pharmacy.

Yes your right, looks like Thailand just visited the pharmacy 5555

55555 All the crying, whinging, then insults when your brains get all seized up, I love it,,, and the results not even in yet,,,

I can't believe this flame war. I am acquainted with Mr. Walen's school, but not with him personally. He is an expat farang who runs a successful business at 5 facilities in Thailand. He employs numerous Thai nationals in a professional (and non-degrading) capacity, thus making a positive contribution to the Thai economy and helping some farangs get along better in Thailand via acquired language skills.

So, he's promoting his business. So what? The biz it happened by accident? Why slag the entrepeneur? I don't understand you guys.

i think you might get it backward.

thaivisa members never single any person out to focus in public opinion page like this....

just like in the case of lady ying-luck.... if she remains a private citizen, no one would care to mention which mare or how many she straddled while she was learning whatever.... while in kentucky....

similarly, in mac case.... he willingly, knowingly and deceitfully put himself up on thaivisa thread.... claiming whatever he wishes to claim....

at the same time, seemingly, he has been so self-indulged in his own self-importance.... that he most probably forgets that.... on thaivisa, there are loads of much more superior and much much better qualified persons in educational fields.... leisurely reading and laughing along.... all the posts....

in my opinion, mac would have come out alright, had he just admitted to whatever his facts are.... like.... folks, i only got a b.a. in horseback riding from kentucky.... that would be a sufficient response for most thaivisa members....

but no.... he had to retort to something cute.... about his elementary school and what his mom taught him to answer pointed probing questions.... thus not only discrediting himself but also dragging his long suffering mother into his mud pool as well.... what an ungrateful rotten son he turned out to be....

mac still ought to be proud of his own accomplishment, though now with some mounting tarnished image and reputation.... more importantly, he should never have come on thaivisa the way he did.... and expected thaivisa members to swallow his hook and all.... in spite of and despite of everything, i still do wish him well in his personal schooling matters.... :jap: <just disappear humbly for the time being.... but return sometimes later.... with your growing success story and personal honesty and integrity.... to humble all of us.... imho>

Wow you whinging old git, get a life it's only a forum thread

man, i would love to have that bill...........

what yours is more than that?

10-12,000 every month

its not a boast, i want to make either.......

Christ I would have a heart attack if that bill came through the door...

The voters are not stupid.

Pheu Thai voters are.

There is a difference between being stupid and ignorant.

It is stupid to be ignorant.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.—Stephen Hawking

maybe your under this illusion...

And the bars are closed... I'd need a beer after going through that, lucky guy doing a seriously tough job.

Everybody will be asking him for lottery numbers this week.

"If it took power, Pheu Thai would allow the Independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Thailand (ITRCT), chaired by lawyer |Kanit na Nakorn, to continue |its fact-finding task, the |party's prime minister |candidate Yingluck Shinawatra said."

What will she do if the commission's findings, quite accurately, are that her brother instigated a feeling of resentment in Isaan by giving the people false information about the formation of the Abhisit government; inflamed passions with paid propagandists and agitators such as Jatuporn, Arisman, Weng and Nattiwhut; paid people whose ire he had instigated to protest in BKK; and used this protest as camouflage for an armed insurrection; the sole aim being to overthrow the government to restore himself to power and have his lost wealth returned.

will she confirm the terrorism charges already brought against him? In a pig's eye!

Terrorist charges that were seen as politically motivated by the international community, and hence rejected by Interpol.

Interpol considered the case to be politically motivated, said Police Maj-General Therdsak Rujirawong, commander of the Royal Thai Police's International Affairs Division.

"The party has a clear policy to reduce living costs by terminating the fuel fund," - won't that increase costs ... of everything?

No, because the fund is basically empty now. It is an acceptance of the fact that a continuation of the fuel fund is a waste of limited funds.

"by next January all grade one students would get tablet PCs" - and ensure the infrastructure is there so that they can use the internet? And have a teaching program so that the children actually use them for learning? Are you aware that India is launching a similar program? 2200rupee tablets (1500 baht) India and Thailand have a similar situation, and yet India is lauded for the program.

"basic salaries for bureaucrats adjusted to Bt15,000" - I thought it was basic salaries for graduates?

15,000 baht is basically a subsistence income in some areas of the country. Are you opposed to people earning a liveable wage?

"maximum personal income tax would be reduced from 30 to 23 per cent." - that will help the poor farmers!

It will encourage people to pay their taxes if the system is fair and will not punish those that earn more from hard work. It does not refer to corporate taxes. Nor does it refer to the elimination of tax loopholes. That too will be included in such a plan. It is a cornerstone of belief of conservatives to lower personal income taxes. So much for PTP being a bunch of commies.

"They might not complete 100 per cent of their policies" - I'm expecting 100% of their "Vision 2020" policies to be incomplete.

So? Would you rather they didn't have a vision or some stated goals like the Democrats? Without goals how can there be a direction? I take it you prefer the rudderless Democrat led government that is drifting in a lazy circle?

Traffic on Ramkhamhaeng Road was jammed from 4.30pm onwards." - It was Friday afternoon. It's always jammed from 4:30pn onwards..

Ok. The report did state; Supporters took the initiative of distributing party leaflets or setting up stalls selling Yingluck and Pheu Thai T-shirts". Are you complaining just for the sake of complaining?

"15,000 baht is basically a subsistence income in some areas of the country."

Where exactly is that? In a Sukhumvit Rd. penthouse? Does subsistence in your book include the running costs of the BMW?

15,000 baht - US$ 500 - GBP 300 PER MONTH!!! can you point me in the direction of the BMW garage , you sound like you want to keep people in poverty, is that to make you feel better about your income?

Abhisit is a desperate man....he keeps preaching chaos and badmouthing Yingluck... knowing he can't win the election..whereas Yingluck preaches reconciliation..

But which one is telling the truth?

Maybe he would be sitting in a better position had he not kept on and on about the negative of the other party and concentrated on the positives about his own party...

The absurdity of actual putting such a thing in email shows they guy is stupid enough to try and do it. But the question is, did he just lose the money, or was anything slanted her way. This is a smoking gun in many ways.

more like a water pistol, and will be forgotten in 48 hours...

Abhisit denies About 1,010,000 results (0.09 seconds)

So let me get this right you can arsed to start a thread about it, but cant tell someone you discussed marriage with ??

Clever! We're all dinosaurs in this election. Except that dinosaurs were probably brighter than a lot of the voters, though they didn't get to vote for their leaders back in their time, they just ate anything lesser than them, perhaps we should regress to that position, it would be far more reliable.

It must be so great to be you... I mean how do you stand living with these minions ?

is this a case of the government having no control over the army or having control over the army?

no it just means people get what they deserve and anyone with any brain knows Taksin does not give a shit for poor and will just continue to steal and lord over them all. So in my view the sheep who follow Taksin blindly will get what they deserve. sadly the others will also get it from him. But I agree most of Thais dont give a shit what we forang think same as in west we dont give a shit what others think. Some thais however being those with some form of logic and sense will care since they know if as seems likely their country falls into the abis Forangs will not bring their money here and here im talking about large companies and investors. Although tourists are only 7% of GDP thats a huge chunk and ive heard in Chiang Mai forang money counts for 40% of Chiang Mai income. Even if its half that any significant drop will seriously effect lives of the poor and better of alike. Difference as ive been saving for some time is better off have options to leave and take our money elsewhere. Over 15 years ive put over 100 million baht into Thailand and spend around 2-3 million baht a year living here. I accept im only one person but I do know lots of ex pats who have put even more in and spend same or more and like me several are already taking funds out of Thialand. If Taksin wins Thailand looses but he wont care about that.

Yawn, Bye...

Christ what a bunch of boring old farts... do you wish for the good old days of dressing like a teddybear ( sorry boy) or where you all mods & rockers 555

I care nothing for corrupt or economics or policy

I care who makes it easy for me to live Thailand with wife and family.

Hope your not from Uk then since Taksin promised he would kick out all UK citizans when he got back in retaliation for not being allowed into UK

Hi, can you point me to the article or quote for this please.

I love this thread, after all the political ( all the same mind numbing ) threads, great photos and information, thanks a lot

But who reads Facebook ? The so called Bangkok elite that will vote for him anyway. So what is he achieving ?

Good God, there's a heck of a lot more "Bangkok elites" that I would have ever imagined.

There's so many that nearly every single person in Krung Thep has been promoted to "elite".

Get a grip 99% are just looking for boyfriends

Yes had to fix it this morning, bitch...

it shows how inexperienced and insensitive these reds and their campaign managers are

apart from it being totally inappropriate, do the reds think the army have forgotten about their fallen comrades that were killed during their attempted revolution?

personally i would not p*ss on a red if one were on fire at my feet......

Sometimes a person can make themselves sound like a complete arse, timekeeper you prove my point...

Sorry I can't meet you, I'm a little busy at the moment deciding who will be the next leader...

He could start with a website like ipaidabribe.com in India, but maybe the Thai network couldn't handle the traffic
