Choice between getting expelled next year as dinosaur or betting on some non-democratic interventions by the present placeholders ...... decisions, decisions ........

Ruangkrai Leekitwattana is as colourful as his loud shirt. No party in a coalition is ridding itself of "independence" but well, he might have studied political science in a rice bowl?

Bring 'em in - all those millions of zero-dollar-tourists. Congratulations to TAT, well done ????

And the baby; Khun "Taa" might be delighted to see the next generation in person ????

You can sell those old F16s to NATO, as per G7 there is cash and permits and might be a good deal for all. As they budgeted new equipment, there is ample space for some "expenses" between buyer and seller ????

And me fool always thought that the senate works in the interest of its people ........ wrong again!

I rather read an "endorsement" of the junta brothers who ran Thailand over the last nine years - a certain quality in the Burmese statement .......

Interesting indication - the generals across the border are getting scared too - right so! Maybe the Thai dinosaurs should all congregate in Naypiyadaw, declare the latter a separate country and leave Thailand as well as Myanmar in peace ....... wishful thinking? Well, we shall see ????

Instead of keeping a close eye on what is going on in his homeland, be it the formation of a (new?) government or the exploding Covid figures - as per the news ........... he sits in Hong Kong with his sweetheart on something resembling high tea (with a terrible cup of coffee when looking at the picture). There is more to the story, he could have high tea of colonial proportions at the author's lounge at the Oriental - the real thing ???? me thinks :-)

Well, THB 10'000 is helluva lot of money to find a loved one. Given the assumption, that he might be in Pattaya .... you have three guesses, what he might be doing instead of calling back home ???? I hope he's OK and gets properly "grown up"; he will return as a different character 8-)

What's there to "asset" in a company, which went out of business in 2007? Obviously you cannot get out of shareholding, as long as the closing proceedings are not finished and whoever closed a company legally (I did) knows what hurdles and avalanched bureaucracy that brings along. The "asset" value of those shares ...... you guessed it! It is a politically motivated issue again; yet this time the dinosaurs would nullify not only 6+ million votes like four years ago; this time is is more than double and that would certainly not triggering off parties in the roads of Bangkok to welcome the "new" government which would manage to slip in only because of some worthless shares - unless I am wrong again ????

Wisanu Krea-ngam might want to retire, he is 72 years old by age and much older by the dinometer; if married with kids - maybe play with grand kids for quality time of whatever is left for him ????

Getting there is one thing, not clogging yet another road with limo and driver another. The fellow has the right attitude - hope to see more of him ????

I assume that he passed all those stringent re-testing funnies at the department of land transport with flying colors.

Interesting; Thai Airways (TG) has accrued 300 billion (not million) THB in losses carried forward, Thai Smile (WE) reported a loss of 20 billion or so less than two months ago. So, what exactly is getting merged, considering the fact, that both airlines are completely off the radar as far as customer satisfaction and pricing is concerned ????

Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, the media had a change of heart and now reports, that she has been handed down a jail sentence of two months - suspended for two years. I - for one - did not know, that the Thai courts have an overdrive but then, what does an alien know in the first place!

Need some help here - how can you ban something which does not exist in the first place?

Well, presently they run on the 20th constitution over the last 91 years ........ rewritten ever 4 ½ years by average ????

An actual picture of how open baskets and open bags were moved from Paragon on the 1st election weekend 7 May 2023 ;-)

We shall never know, if he is honest or if it is yet another display of crocodile tears ........ ????

Well, unlike quite some of his fellow MPs ........ he is the lucky guy as he made his millions before even starting - and it is all LEGAL money. Congratulations are in order!

Honest mistake, they must have used American vote counting machines ......... 8-)

The argument by those dinosaurs is, that MFP wants to rewrite article 112. The MFP proposal, as far as I understood it, would only allow the Palace and its Royal members to file a "lèse-majesté" cases. That (yet to be formulated) revision would have to pass parliament, then presented to HM for His signature and then published in the Royal Gazette. So all those hand-picked dinosaurs could no longer hide behind this "lèse-majesté" law, which has been grossly misused in the past by too many people to get rid of political or business opponents. A revision would result in the initial reason this law was created in the first place. So it is quite obvious, why all those misusers - outside the Palace - are against touching this delicate issue.

The Thai language media reported this incident slightly different. She got stopped, like anybody else, in a general road check and was slightly above the level of 0.5%. The police let her go without fine but her conscience and responsibility towards party and voters made her going public with this while resigning at the same time. A very laudable while regrettable move - she removed the risk of some dirty mind who might undig this incident in the future for a smearing campaign (for which Thailand is more than known for). Without being able to prove it; you can take it to the bank that many more existing, past and future MPs have exceeded the 0.5% limit on alcohol and some past dinosaurs like i.e. Chalerm were certainly no strangers to the bottle ........

Remember the days when they were 36kgs and chandeliering nicely - with a "way" on the way out next morning ????
