economy is dying, and they are fighting over a fuc_king temple, jees. No wonder this world is going doing, everybody just cares for himself or his own ego

Couldn't be said better.

CNN showing a special report on this event "A Forgotten People" today, doesnt look good for Thailand

It never had.

Machines manufactured, programmed, and no doubt to be maintained by Loxley, subsidiary of K-Bank.

Mr. Vasant Chatikavanij, Executive Vice President of Loxley and Director of a couple of Loxley sub branches click.

Mr. Vasant is a cousin of Abhisits Oxford Collage classmate Korn Chatikavanij.

But isn't Korn Chatikavani, the current Finance Minister? Abuse of power?

Yes if it is Thaksin.

No if there have PAD backings.

Fly in the Saab. Deploy the gun copters. Humvee after humvees. Roll in the tanks. Not to forget diverting the Thai-Camb border army. And the Chao Phraya navy. ALL TO SANAM LUANG.

The RED are holding Bangkok / Thailand ransom.

Banned from politics,

what part about not getting involved does the Election Commission not understand.

If a banned politician,

ANY banned politician ;

Makes a call benefiting a candidate.

Shows up at a rally and speaks.

Makes a video link call to a rally

and talks for the benfifit of a candidate.

Is pictured on a poster or leaflet.

Is quoted in campaign literature.

Gives money or makes promises for a candidates benefit.

Any and all of these should be grounds for annulling a win, or disqualifying a candidate,

for allowing using this banned pol as icon or helper in his campaign.

Banned is banned.

IF, these banned pols do this with the knowledge of the party leaders

examples:

Chalerm saying Thaksin is the real leader of PTP,

We are doing this to bring back Thaksin etc.

Then this is the party using a banned pols legend to get votes

and this is against the rules also.

Banned, should apply to parties using the banned as bait for voters,

not just that these people can not run for office.

The sentence they have is

"Banned From Politics For Five Years."

What exactly does the Election Commission think this means in definition.

PS I certainly think the pertains to Newin also et al.

So, if the Chart Thai Pattana Party candidate wins, you would disqualify her as "Her son, Siripong Angkasakulkiat, a former Sisaket MP from the defunct Chart Thai Party, who has been banned from politics for five years, is also lending support", as per SJ's post from the Bangkok Post.

Somehow I think your call for overturning the votes of the electorate would only be applied by you if the Pheu Thai Party candidate were to win!

I agree with you 200%.

What happen to the Nepalese monarchy?

Can anyone shed some light?

Is TAT still trying to prevent the Chinese bus tours that bring their own packed lunches?

No they can, as long the are wrapped in plastic bags

Hold the plastic.

To be green, wrapped in paper; prefer recycled.

Do you really believe that people will come only in thailand because they can have a free visa ?

what is the financial impact of such a measure for the holiday budget

What next ? They will give candy at the immigration

Yes.

For example, I paid 1,400 Baht all in BKK-SIN-BKK on AirAsia for this October. This is less than half the visa fee for many countries. Multipy by a family of 5, now you you see why I don't go to countries that needs a visa.

I just bought LON-KUL returns for 203 GBP all in.

An pay another 140 MYR for KUL-BKK return. That's abother 25 GBP.

In total I pay less than 230 GBP for LON-KUL-BKK-KUL-LON.

I managed to buy BKK-SIN-BKK in Oct for 1,400 Baht.

Very cheap for my visa run.

Why invest in new lotto vending machine.

They could easily use currently available:

1. ATM - Bank ATM machine, that also take money straight from buyer account

2. CDM - Bank Cash deposit machine, i.e. you don't even need a bank account.

Theses machines are all Thailand. Even my 6 years old can use it.

Been checking Air Asia Plus for flight costs to Bali.

Some dates are showing a "0" price. But when looking on the actual AirAsia website the price is fluctuating wildy.

There is some sort of "Big Promotion" starting today so I don't know what's going on???

RAZZ

AirAsia has decided to remove the admin fee, with is about 200 Baht/sector. AirAsia website is having some technical problem adapting the changes. Give it a day or two.

Cheapest is to fly LON-KUL + KUL-BKK via AirAsia.

They do not connect. You have to retrieve your bags & check in again.

The airport link is to facilitates PAD protesters at Swampy in the future..

I didn't say this. Forbes did:

"After taking power, Abhisit was criticised as an opportunist who would have gone nowhere without a helping hand from the military and the anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD). He failed to condemn the PAD when it occupied Bangkok's two main airports in late November. Since then, Abhisit has vowed to prosecute those responsible for the airport closures, but nobody has been charged so far."

Thailand going to war with Cambodia again?

Just curious, how do blind people cast their votes

Yes, I feel like I belong to an elite that is above democracy, that my decision should not be contested by the "uneducated". Be honest, accept it. But please, the "uneducated" should stop talking about democracy or first make the effort to understand the meaning of the word.

Democracy : one person = one vote

Your definition ?

My definition,

Democracy : 70% selected, 30% elected

This is the world's true democracy.

Who is this Chaovarat Chanweerakul anyway? A proxy for Thaksin? You can sak him, and all of Thaksin proxies to shut their big mouth.

What dispute. The Khmers were never a treat to the Siamese. Not now, not ever. Want to know who is the big brother in Indo-China?

The only good thing about this free education program is that they teaches you that Cambodia belongs to Thailand. So is Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Southern China, Malaysia and especially Singapore.

However, the Thais were so generous, they gave all these away, temporary.

The only way to solve this problem is to give the three southern muslim provinces autonomy from Bangkok. Make it an autonomies region of Thailand. It would be Thailand's first if it happens.

What about Tibet, Northern Ireland, Basque etc etc.

Quite amazed at the at the sheer hatred and viciousness of the anti-Thaksin brigade here!

Nothing amazing about people hating a convicted criminal who flees like a coward, refuses to accept punishment handed down by the Thai courts and who continues to stir up trouble in the country - all in the interests of saving his own precious scrawny arse.

What is amazing however, is that there are people like you who continue to speak in his defence (although you'll no doubt deny that) and mention his name in the same breath as the word democracy.

Punishment handed by a military appointed court following a military coup.

Since then the people have repeatedly voted for politicians supporting Thaksin, only to see their choice overturned by a court appointed by the coup makers.

Let's make it clear. You feel like you belong to an elite that is above democracy, that your decision should not be contested by the "uneducated". Be honest, accept it. But please stop talking about democracy or first make the effort to understand the meaning of the word.

Just call up the sender and <deleted> him/her over the phone untill his/her ear drum burst. I am sure he/she will never SMS you anymore.

Since the Thai govt is so short of money, they should confiscate all land held by proxy of Farang. Auction that off (to Mrs. Thaksin), and easily gain a few trillion Baht.

No need to get the mega loan anymore.
