  1. I don't think so......this supposed consciousness of weary concern. Not the case whatsoever. In this particular instance, I believe the continued [en masse] mask wearing in public spaces was born of the cultural abiding of the natural reflex to authoritarianism - and repeated often and loud enough.
  2. Thai magic. Nothing up their sleeves.
  3. It's not in their nature, historically. Simple observations of the cultural character should be commonplace to those who've been here a while.
  4. New Mafia generations as opposed to the old establishment. The club is the same regardless of the defined perspectives.
  5. A May 2023 general election in theory. We'll have to wait and see how such works out. Recent history might suggest that some twists will be applied in their favour.
  6. A twist of cognitive dissonance. Per usual.
  7. Deaths of random stranger Farang. Those things happen.
  8. Shouldn't be terribly surprising to those in the know and those who carefully study contemporary history. Long been the accepted and friendly relationship between the two power blocks. It's even been suggested that the once highly revered Thai influencer and puppet master was quite the admirer of the successive Burmese regimes and was looking for Thailand to mirror these Juntas......but with a particular Thai twist. Has it ever been a wonder why, of the last 40-50 years, that Thailand has never officially called out or been critical of the cycling Burman regimes.... Closer than peas in a pod.
  9. Birds of a feather. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  10. This is how steeped and historic oligarchies work. As such has been in place forever. Incredibly difficult to break the conditioned habit.
  11. Don't hold your breath. They'll find a way - they always do. The broad system is rigged in their favour.
  12. Using the already twisted justification of Lese Majeste would suffice. They seem to pull it out of the blue when it's convenient for 'em.
  13. Let the people's revolution begin.
  14. Thought we already had a revered cloud seeding program that goes way back. A Thai invention, so I've been told......????
  15. Have a good solid look at your Western democracies. Champs.
  16. Could never imagine this..... ????
  17. Don't be looking behind the curtains, as there's nothing to see here.
  18. Hopefully, the ever dumbed down and naive individuals and populations will continue to go along for the sake of going along. It's what they do.
  19. Dictator brothers.
  20. A piece of fanciful rhetoric and assorted BS.
  21. The exception might not apply to special and privileged Thais.
