So in other words, if the 2015 elections are free and there is a fully elected house of representatives, as there have to be to have free, fair and democratic elections, the administrative system is ready for another round of protests.

There has not been a Free, Fair and Democratic election in the 45 years I have been here. Just because you have an election does not indicate you have a democracy. If it did, than why is the EU and USA trying to overthrow the democratically elected government of Syria?

The United States is not a democracy it is a republic, and the government does not follow the Constitution it is sworn to uphold.

The MOU is only political, so the USA can say look at what I am doing. In the past USAID has been used as a cover for other agencies. Thailand need to watch very closely what the USAID people are doing.

The US is going to be loving this... Chins snuggling up to ASEAN countries and at a time when the US is coming out and condemning Thailand.

The US hurt Thailand, now Chins brings the medication.

Take his passport and freeze all his and his families bank accounts. While your at it check the back bedroom.

troops have placed locks on the doors of warehouses in the rice support program in various provinces

They have also placed putty over the locks and imprinted it with the military stamp as per below.

They must be paranoid? One could surmise they don't trust the ex PTP Commerce Ministry and the Public Warehouse Association when they stated twice there is absolutely no rice missing from stock piles..

They are right to not trust them.

How can you expect the politicians to make any money if you do not let then take the rice. It is not corruption, it is a way of life.

They should make assett declarations mandatory prior to being allowed to entering political positions. 3 months prior and every 6 months after they obtain a position in the gov.

Do you expect politicians to tell the truth? Whey should they in Thailand, no government anywhere on earth can be trusted.

Sinking Bangkok to blame

The tanks were designed before Bangkok started sinking, yes.

Bangkok hav been sinking for decades. This is caused by the removal of underground water. There are laws covering the removal of of the water, but like most laws, they are not enforced. There are also laws covering the monitoring of water storage facilities. When was the last time the University had the system tested?

Im not an expert but does it look like they should be in a museum ?

They will still kill you, and are illegal.

I hope they do not follow the example of the government in the USA. It appears the Taliban terrorist get better treatment then children of Illegal Aliens.

Twenty years with no probation for fraud. That's a tough deal.

Now I wonder if he might be interested in being given a whistle to blow......?

I suspect that this is exactly how the sh1t is going to start going uphill...!

Give a guy 20 years and I suspect he is going to be pretty keen to start naming those further up the chain. Jail the next guy up, and so on it goes, until they get right to the very top, yes, you guessed it, KhunT...!!

If he started doing that he could possibly commit suicide while in police custody.

The United States has been looking down at Thailand for it treatment of Illegal Aliens. The Department of Homeland Security in the United States has established a process.

I would rather have beefed-up security, than a burning business, as happened after the Red Shirt demonstrations.

The only licensed tobacco manufacturer in Thailand, the Thai Tobacco Monopoly, is owned by the government. If the health officials are serious they would call for the closure of this health hazard.

The new licencing process will help to reduce the amount of new drivers that do not understand the regulations. It will also increase the quantity of drivers without licence. I have a permanent drivers licence, there for I never have to be retested. Overall it looks like a good start.

Regarding the probe on corruption charges in connection with a government to government rice deal against former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyaphirom and former deputy commerce minister Poom Saraphol, Mr Vicha said that the investigation process would take 3-4 months because some of the accused are abroad

So here we go again, they can not be charged for the crimes they committed because they have left the country. Where have they gone, Cambodia, China or Dubai?

This is why Suthep have his office at the Government House and the Government can even not go there...!

BIGGEST JOKE of today!

Yes, curious isn't it

Police in Charge of Government House

Army in charge of Government House

The uniform is of a Police Pvt., not Army. Get your information correct.

They are just playing for time as Chalerm readies the Paratroops.

I hope they have replace the cables in the aircraft. Do not need any more deaths caused by incompetent Jump Masters.

Seriously, what kind of people attack hospitals?

This happens quite often. You do remember when the Black Shirts invaded a hospital looking to kill soldiers? the insistence of domestic terrorism is increasing. When will the police do their jobs, to stop this, or are the rumors true, the police are part of the domestic terrorist. Remember what Pol. Capt. Chalerm said that the Black Shirts were police.

This sounds like more domestic terrorism. If the Military is called in to help,the foreign media will call it a coup. This is the 4th PM of the Shin Dynasty to go down for corruption, but the foreign media will call it a coup. It was very apparent that the mouth of Thaksin was what brought down his sister.

Lets ship coal to New Castle.

Many SME are affected by the increase in the cost of electricity, minimal wage, and LPG. In Lamphun There were many SME in the manufacturing of ceramic wear. Many of these manufacturers have had to close, because of the cost of manufacturing. There are companies especially OTOP, SME that are not able to continue. Many have said that it is because of poor management, but when you have a commodity that the sales price is controlled my the market, and the market is flooded by cheap products from China, the local SME can not survive.
