Thailand’s national lottery to stop paying out prizes in cash
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
That'll be a while yet, here. Though, it's becoming quite apparent such a suppressive and controlling system is settling in for good throughout segments of the "civilised" West.... -
Thai forest fires worsen pollution that’s left 2 million ill
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
In all my years have never witnessed this magnitude of forest/bush fires in country.......most of which have origins from the traditional practice of field burning. Most will never learn. I'm saddened and disgusted. -

“Pragmatism” will clash with “idealism” in Thai elections
zzaa09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
The authoritarianism comes in the same form whether a civilian or military-inspired coup govt. The most amazing paradox is seen through the population and their everyday lifestyles - regardless of standing government in place. Still remain independent, free and self-sufficient regardless of said government. Been of this nature for decades under the supposed [and mythological] repressive political machine or the same under the elected civilian democratic variety. Simple observations over the years and a better understanding of several decades of history will show you that the population has never been repressed under the mythological strains of this textbook authoritarianism. Most [outside] critics aren't truly observant as to everyday way of getting on. -

Why foreign policy takes a backseat for Thai political parties
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
There's truly only a couple of countries that find it necessary to control, meddle and create a wide path of nastiness. I might say that most of the world does mind it's own business, largely - but because of the intentional interference from these couple of power states......the value of self determination becomes moot. -

Sounds good in theory, but history will tell you that every/any coup rarely has any such effect on trade or tourism. -

Thailand’s wild, wooly and booming weed experiment

The dollar will soon be less and less an influential/significant trading unit - generally speaking. Already starting to turn. -
Actually, there are no specific rules or tradition as to how a royal pardon can be enacted. Nor can such a writ be overruled or overturned. There have been a number of examples over the decades [not terribly publicized] of a number of forced/self-imposed exiles receiving royal pardons - all of which never saw incarceration time.
