Well, if anything positive has come out of this shuffling, it is that the biggest joke will be gone. Hopefully, gone for good.

No. It is 6'3.6" Hopefully Prayuth will be intimidated enough by his height, to behave himself!

Yep. Sometimes alternative methods have to be found, when the will of the people is consistently thwarted. Do you not think men of guilt and men without honor, should be subject to blowback? What makes their family immune, when they have been enjoying the perks for ages?

Locking this man up will be the only effective way of stopping a lifetime of criminal activity and grifting. Prison, please.

It seems only shame, humiliation and a lack of tourism dollars, are the only things that can motivate this heinous government and reveal it's utter lack of humanity and morality.

Yes. Very recently. No issues at all.

Good article. They used to be beloved and respected by the people. Now? Few believe in them anymore, after this betrayal and abandonment of their principals and utter display of immorality. Who is the new PM anyway, other than a Real Estate builder and salesman? Remind you of anyone?

Perhaps it is time for the Thai people to hold the judges accountable. Shame them and their entire families for such a treasonous act against the youth.

An absolute abomination, and proof that major reform is needed here. When a court sentences young people for protesting against a genocidal regime, there is a level of moral bankruptcy present, that says alot about the outgoing administration. The Thai army is beyond the pale.

1. I urge you to continue cracking down on the youth, the protesters and anyone who does not demonstrate absolute fealty. 2. Do not consider the goodwill of the people. It just gets in the way. 3. Please let us do whatever we request. Remember, we assured your selection. 4. Let's take a tour of the place. Want a glass of 1982 Lafite Rothschild? 5. You can go now.

Who appointed the justice minister? Who cut a deal with PT to be part of this administration? Who thinks a deal was not made in regard to the old man? Of course he is getting special treatment. That was likely part of the deal. Expect the sentence to be commuted. Soon.

Can I guess you are living either in Pattaya, Phuket or Samui? There are alot of lovely and gracious people elsewhere. Perhaps you want to try moving around a bit. Opening your mind to the possibilities. Yes, if you get involved in a relationship with a woman much younger than yourself, from a family of modest means, there will be expectations. But, I got a different kind of expectation and demand from Western women back home. And it was significantly less honest.

Again, they are confusing environmental activism with moral character. Ha! I asked around. There is no such thing as a sustainable character. Perhaps they exist only in the minds of people obsessed with false purity and the projection of such.

Hopefully that was meant as humor, or satire.

I understand. But, adorable 20 year old gals are a very, very different story! They wear them far better!

We don't know where his alignments are, who he will be taking orders from, or how he will govern. He has no experience. We don't know who he is, really.

Ask the wannabe moral police.

“I never thought I’d ever get indicted for being a lawyer,” Giuliani said on his radio show last week. Ha! You have already been suspended from practicing law, which should have happened alot sooner. You were not practicing law. You were practicing gangland law. You were flouting every law possible. You deserve prison, just like the man you once bowed down to. One can only hope.

Bullying is a terrible crime. Some take it way too far. Not saying I condone this response, but the bully did have some sort of price to pay, at some point in his life.

This one is classic. A man who was appointed through shifty maneuvers by the army, the PT and who knows who else, is going to develop close ties with a former Khmer Rouge officer, who has been a land grabbing, multi billionaire, despot dictator of a neighboring nation disguised as a democracy. This is rich.

It is of utmost importance to maintain the moral character of the nation. These kinds of stunts, with adults wearing the uniforms of young girls, can lead to perversion and unhealthy desires. Purity is tantamount. Lock up these women. It will lead to moral control, something the RTP are experts on.

Yes. If you are going to get involved with a Thai woman, take into account the fact that many are immature and emotionally undeveloped. I highly recommend looking for a woman who is the eldest child in the family. They are given far more responsibility growing up, and it shows. And remember, you are no longer in the West, which means you do not have to check your cajones at the door. Do not behave like you behaved back there. Many Thai women really appreciate a man who behaves like a man, and most like it if you take charge. If you do not do that, she will take over. You will force her to be the dominant force in the relationship, even if she does not like it. Every ship needs a captain. And most importantly, take your time. Time is your ally. If it is good, it is only going to get better. If there are real issues, they will reveal themselves over time. Do not allow a woman to push the time agenda. Be a man. Push back. Be strong. Leave the Western desperation and emasculation behind.

Pala Pizza near the Asok station is the best I have found in Bangkok.

What else could they have said? Congratulations to the Thai army for hijacking the election? We welcome anything that can pass for a democracy, in SE Asia? Reform and people power is not really our game either, so good move?

It does appear this whole thing was orchestrated and a deal was made in exchange for the inclusion of the army goons in the new "so called coalition". Want to take a wager they use their power to extend the proxy senate control? Woe are the Thai people. The mourning continues.
