I have gotten to the point in my life where I have no more tolerance with utter foolishness, or piracy. If faced with a dumb situation like this, I would abandon Phuket faster than you could say, WTF? See ya.

Just try it guys. It may be the last thing you ever do. The people will act, and they will act swiftly.

Nope. Their leader may have amassed spectacular wealth, from his 9 years of grifting. But, besides holding the rank of general, he is very nearly a nobody, after his trouncing.

Blame it on the commies. Actually, most people who visit seem to really like the place.

There has to be major pushback against these clowns. 250 bought and paid for goons should not be able to hold a nation hostage. The people have to get creative, in order to force the hand of the corrupt, divisive, useless Thai army.

No legal authority is required. Sometimes a solution is required that does not utilize legal framework. The will of the people can be expressed outside the legal system, which is very broken here anyway.

Much work needs to be done, after the incredible path of destruction, regression, and backwards policy laid down by the dinosaurs, over the past 9 years. Let us hope Thailand can start moving forward. Prayuth almost succeeded in making the once great tiger of SE Asia, into a sickly, anemic, hungry alley cat.

Hopefully enough of the army appointed senators will defect, realizing they, their children, their parents, their siblings, and their spouses could have a very, very miserable life ahead of them, if they defy the will of the people, at this point in time. They would indeed be inviting a pox on their own houses, by doing so. Let reason prevail.

Yes, let us hope righteousness prevails. My wife told me Pita was just on the radio, and TV, and he was expressing exactly this sentiment. He is off to a good start, giving the Thai people credit, and setting the stage for hope, peace and moving forward. I really like this guy.

Maybe not. Or just maybe. Perhaps their time has come and gone. Perhaps they realize this. Perhaps this is a whole new world. Perhaps they have stolen enough billions of dollars to be content with their ill gotten wealth. Perhaps the era of the dinosaur is over, and the youth will prevail. I know I sound overly optimistic. But, without hope and dreams, what is there? Only bleakness and hopelessness.

Nope. The army is on it's way out. It could take awhile, and it could get ugly, though it will never get to the hellish level of Burma, as the Thai parents would never, ever permit that kind of genocidal behavior from their sons. You take out one more Thai, and you are forever disowned by this family. That is all it would take to bring about mass defections from the army ranks. That would sure be fun to witness. Are the pompous generals going to put themselves into harms way? Never. They do not have it in them, they are cowards.

Outstanding. My guess is that not even his mother will miss this miscreant, half man. There is no place in this world for anyone who places a higher value on money, than on human life. See ya. Immediate execution is the only punishment worthy of this worm.

Take beer, for example. For some, craft beer is associated with anti-establishment politics. “It’s very similar to the French Revolution, which started from a cafe in Paris, where people drank coffee,” says Taopiphop. “The fuel of the revolution is not coffee any more, it’s craft beer.” Taopiphop adds that, after the 2014 coup in Thailand, many pro-democracy activists chose to meet in Bangkok’s craft beer bars. If only the younger Thais were allowed to express themselves, be inventive, be creative, be industrious, and use their smarts and ambition, Thailand could have a future. Craft beer is needed here, and so are the young entrepreneurs. But, that future appears to be suppressed at every turn by dinosaurs, who only answer to money, money, and even more money. Money is the God of lesser men. The money first attitude is holding back Thailand on so many levels. Then they could lower wine taxes, to a more reasonable 60%. It would stimulate and create a multi billion dollar industry here, and help to attract well heeled tourists. Same applies to luxury taxes. Lower them to 20%. Imported vehicle taxes too. Get smart. Stop the stupidity!

OK, good. Now declare the goombah senators illegitimate, and end their term tomorrow. It is the right thing to do. If Cha Cha is sincere about accepting the results, this needs to be done. They must be brought into line, or pay a very, very heavy price, for their absolute repudiation of democracy. They are now starting to behave like fascist goombahs. Let us attempt to show them what a very miserable life looks like!

What can one even say? Was the prospect of taking responsibility for his actions, just too much to face? Or was this guy so high, he had absolutely no idea what he was doing? Or, maybe he was already suicidal, and this just pushed him over the edge. Who knows? Not much info to work with. One can only speculate.

Glad someone else is on the same page. Not sure how much we can do as ex-pats, but something needs to be done to tame these goons. They must be brought into line, or pay a very, very heavy price, for their absolute repudiation of democracy. They are now starting to behave like fascist goombahs. Let us attempt to show them what a very miserable life looks like!

Utter tripe. Unemployment soared, homelessness soared, and the general lack of contentment plummeted. The economy has slowed down, and so have the property markets. Prayuth nearly destroyed both the economy and tourism. Blame covid all you want. It is an ineffective army rule, and the tremendous lies and fabrications, that are hurting the Thai people.

As stated in a related post I am glad Pita is calling out these guys. He is absolutely correct. But, the people might need to take charge now. These senators need to be declared enemies of the state. They are essentially committing treason, at this point. A list of their names and photos needs to be circulated. The people need to call them and their children, siblings, and parents out at work, at school, at restaurants, and in public. Shame them into submission. Embarrass them to no end. Make them conscious of the incredible amount of damage and erosion to democracy they are causing, and let Cha Cha know we are not buying his "I will be cooperative, and honor the results" nonsense. Make their lives so uncomfortable they quit a year early. It just might work.

She needs to be recalled. Not sure if anyone really knew how insane and unhinged she really was. Talk about an extremist. She is a plague on the nation.

All efforts must be made by the people to call out these heathens, and shame them and their families, in whatever way possible. The people will not tolerate you blocking a fair and just election. An attempt to subvert democracy again, will not be tolerated.
