the problem is that once in jail he'll be treated somewhat as a hero, a man who saved his faceloss... I know, this is a crooked, to simple way of thinking, but this really happens!

I've tried Audials but choice is to limited to my taste. I just wanted to try it out to compare. I do have RadioGarden, you can listen to many radiostations around the world, more my thing... ????

I agree with you, it's just that that "new generation of voters" have hardly a say anymore... very frustrating!

it's all a bs-story, as most of PT-stories! so he needs eyeglasses, nothing special... meanwhile his daughter gets new instructions!

why don't I hear about Thaksin giving back all the millions/billions of Thai baht that he took? why only about him staying in jail or not... him ànd his sister should both be locked up first, then pay everything back, only then they could be freed from jail, not before!

why don't he just pay the money back that he owes the state and thèn come back. only then it would be a matter of days in jail... did he make any suggestion to do so? so why would he be treated different?

as how I understand it is that if you commit a crime and you admit it, the court gives a death sentence turned into lifelong!

haha, why am I not surprised? you wonder why still people believe what this guy says...

I noticed that as well! furthermore these guys usually are experienced pilots who sometimes like to show off their 'skills' ! personally I like older pilots who don't need to impress anyone... the boat that followed came to close but nothing really life threatening... there must be nothing important going on if this gets a headline! ????

Yaa Alcohol, also bad stuff if indulged!

same on KPhangan, taking everything over...

can someone explain to me what is Thaksin's sickness? why would he need to be taken to a hospital? he sure looks fine to me, especially since his return is in the pipeline!

the rich get more rich while the poor more poor...

every resto with provincial owner has a relaxed feel, wherever you go. about Ptya people: they are there to make money, simple as that! they dpn't really want to be there, but have because of work availability! in ChiangMai the local people are gentle and kind and even speak slower. their cultural background (Lanna) makes them also proud! Southerners are know for speed-talking! years and years of constant tourism have changed their kindness, their mentality is pretty spoiled, farangs would come spend money anyways... that changed a tiny bit after the tsunami, but until Covid they had always tourists. I used to live on Samui for a number of years, travelled the southern provinces so I met several kinds of southern peeps! I like villagers much better than any city-locals! much more genuine and down to earth. so after "thorough research" I moved to the North and still here, sabai-sabai 23 years and still happy! ????

why am I not surprised! how convenient is this ruling, just on this day! let PheuThai do their thing until next election and then come back, better prepared!

now I live in the North for many years. but in the 80's and partly 90's lived on Samui and for a break we just would take the slowboat to K.Tao only to stay on K.NangYuan wich is owned by the LomPraya-family. man, did we have a good time there snorkeling in daytime and indulging on food when dark! then the cruise-ships started to come and let the passengers snorkle in 'our' area, the boatsmen would even tell us to go away because they were coming... needless to say that that was the last time we went there... so I never set foot on K.Tao, because NangYuan was all we wanted... a pity that some of the families who 'run' that place have different intentions...

the true character of the old guys in EC shows they are lousy losers! what did I expecr from this bunch? here I learned a long time ago that if you give respect to others that you will receive respect as well... these fossils don't have any respect...

this goes on for many years now! it escalated during Thaksin's regime (who's background is militairy as well) when they barged in a mosk (forgot the name) and took everyone inside in trucks, stacked up like dead bodies, several layers thick and moved them elsewhere! stupid Thaksin thought he would clear this quickly in attack-style, but the opposite became their worst nightmare and most terrorist attacks related to thissad event... general Chavalit even went South to make a peace offer but didn't work out. since then one attack on army vehicles, then army strikes back, no mercy... I don't take sides but still try to see things as they are: southern 3 provinces originally were not Thai, but in a major landdeal just used: we give you land here and I get land there... the local people were not asked a thing! and still the thai military thinks they can boss them around... peace talks? don't make me laugh, show mutual respect first, only thèn we can negociate! I have talked to several southern locals in the past and they say that only solution would be a limited autonomy for these 3 provinces, so still under thai law, but with their own culture and habits! if the Thai don't hurry up this could become a Israel-Palestine conflict with no trust on either side! with overpower you cannot win this, you would only create more terrorism! talk talk, a double dose of patience and triple dose of mutual respect seems now the only solution!
