The verdicts and the jail time Thaksin faces in Thailand
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Well.....if one really digs into the history, you'll find that a handful of associated coup-makers were forced into self exile [a couple were able to return]. Less we forget, the '32 coup was the worst of the lot - by way of legendary measures. -
The verdicts and the jail time Thaksin faces in Thailand
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Actually, it's quite possible that some sort of back room deal has already been agreed upon. Don't think the Thaksin people would be promoting the subliminal or surface rhetoric of "the return" unless there is a clear understanding of what's to come. Just a guess. Could be completely off base, though. -
Thai Airways accused of favouring foreign passengers over Thais

Hasn't been right for a couple of decades. -
As long as any continuous references to anything Shinawatra that makes for good and dazzling copy, it'll always be news worthy.......in a gossipy kinda manner. Also difficult to move on when the old boy controls a very influential segment of Thai "alternative/underground" news and information sources that seemingly spins out the expected. Could be worse. Could be an abiding mainstream news corps that is solely owned and operated by military and traditional elite circles. Nonetheless, all will come full circle in it's own time. It's best to be highly suspicious of the systems than to be angst and despising groups or individuals that commonly come from the same class and club. The hope that attaching oneself to real political/social opposition always appears to be waning - yet, is out there and remains strong.......just not allowed to participate in the games. Club rules and all that.

Who will win the Thai election on May 14?
zzaa09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Applaud your reasoned sentiment, but such acts require traditional approval and blessings - and that will never happen, as such defeats the whole ideals of their oligarchical existence. -

Or.....whose most favoured by the anointed ones, which is how it truly works. -
Phanaeng Curry Named Best Stew in The World

All of which is too common here among our distinguished forum members - very limited broad exposure and experience of a wide variety.....preferring to make things up by way of the running stereotypes sociological psycho-babble. -
Abhisit Not Joining Democrats In Contesting General Election
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Better yet, a prospective candidate should come by way, naturally, to care about and represent the people and the commons. Silly me to think that such should be the case for any elected politician. -

zzaa09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Yet, little [if any] attention, reference or attention is offered of any such real "opposition" or alternative by the always abiding and controlled Thai mainstream press. The never ending cycling rhetoric of presenting the same worn out players and misfits doesn't appear to be terribly democratic. -

Anutin insists there is no pre-election political deal

Actually, don't even know why we bother with any of this s***. Why not just revert back to an absolute and call it good. -
