Deputy PM Chlerm has said that Thailand does not have terrorist.

This is a picture of him taking his medication for ear infection.

BANGKOK: -- Thailand sits near the bottom in some categories of a ranking of countries by rule of law compiled by a Washington-based think-tank, particularly in civil justice, in which it holds the 80th position out of 97.

Washington-based think-tank, sounds like an oxymoron to me. Looking on what has been going on inside the DC belt way, the only thing the politicians, lobbiest and lawyers think about is there pockets

Sounds a little like all politicians, in all countries.

The PM said that they has an understanding with the government of china, that china would buy rice, at a price to be determined by the market. First we must understand a MOU is not a contract and is not binding. Second many members of the government have no idea of how the international grain market works and do not care. All a politician cares about is what the press prints. If later what he said is not correct, he can say that press miss-quoted me, or I do not remember making that statement, or I an taking cold medication.

Are there attacks on tourist this year as compared to previous years?

The police used tear gas, better than they did against Yellow Shirts, than they used fragmentation.

Refreshing

Nobody's blaming the falang or Obama (yet).

Bush did it!

It is good to see that the police are working on making the police dummy smarter. What about the person with his finger on the red light button?

Bring on the police state...

1984

Talk the talk, walk the walk. Chain has assisted Burma, Laos and Cambodia upgrade. Obama said we are here for you. Where? China is completing the rail link with Laos, now they tell Thailand we are here to help build the high speed railroad.

If you hear I am from the USA government and I am here to help you: RUN.

I wonder if Obama paid the entry fee for the temple?

I do not understand, Thai people are active, but every time that happens the riot police are called out and the UDD say it is a coup against Thaksin Democracy.

Yingluck is so sexy.

Yingluck is happy Hillery came not Bill.

What a huge cost to have to carry your own car everywhere you go, 2nd plane, flight crew, avgas et al, but I guess that is not of concern to the Govt.

The two VC-25As (B747) a VC-32A (B757) are at DMK, plus a Delta Airlines B767 with the press gang. Panetta was in on Thu/Fri in an E-4B (B747) there have been various C-17 support flights into DMK in recent days.

Meantime, down at U-Tapao there are at least 12 x C-17, 4 x E-3, 3 x KC-135 plus a C-5 possibly a C-20. This is obviously the support hub for this POTUS trip to BKK, RGN PNH.

He's probably being wildly optimistic. The police did nothing during the Red demonstration of 2009 & 2010 and they will undoubtedly do nothing this time as well.

If it's anything like around here, the BIB can't do anything unless you register a complaint, and that can't be done at the local office, it must be the one 20 kms away. When you get there, the only guy who takes complaints has just gone on his break, so you wait an hour for him to come back, 2 hours to get to the head of the queue, to find he doesn't speak English. They have one English speaker (just) who has just gone on his break, so you wait an hour...........................................

The police took action against the Yellow shirts. The readon they did not take action against the Red shirts, could be Big Brother told them not to?

"The red shirt leader said that the UDD is ready to mobilise hundreds of thousands of its supporters to the capital within two hours if there is any attempt to topple the Yingluck government. "

Errrr... so a civil war will be instigated if there is an attempt to oust the government?

What constitutes an attempt? A request for the PM to stand down? A call for new elections?

And how will these hundreds of thousands of UDD supporters counter that attempt?

The same way the Rad Guard did in China, or the Kamer Rogue in Cambodia? Are the UDD the the Gestopo of the PTP?

If I had an entertainment bar, I would have a big sign outside " US Secret Service Welacome, We Will Provide You With A Service And it Will Be Secret "

He is the President of the USA ... not The Messiah or Santa Claus.

You must not know about the United Socialist State of American, which thinks he is both the Messish and Santa Clause. Over 1 trillion in spending a year, with most of that money being borrowed.

Thailand, the Switzerland of Asia. "the hills are alive..., with the sound of music..."

The hill in Switzerland are alive with the sound of music, but in Thailand the hills are alive with the sound of politicians putting money into secret rooms, or in HongKong.

Quote :- The national police chief earlier announced he had prepared 50,000 officers to maintain law and order during the demonstration at the Royal Plaza on November 24. Unquote

That'll be a first for Thailand. Much of the crime is perpetrated by BIB itself.

The Police wear Brown Shits, but thay are known as TOMATOES, red inside and out.

They will need a third set of books.

Red Shirts are pro democracy, and are the enforcement arm of the PT Government, and Thaksin. China had the Red Guard, Cambodia has the Kamer Rogue, Germamy had the Brown shirts, and USA has the IRS. No difference.

red shirts are pro red democracy which does not resemble real democracy.

One side promotes elections while the other is calling for a military coup to overthrow the elected government followed by a 5 year cessation to them.

Ummm...which one is pro-democracy??????????????????????????????

Now, now lets stay on topic. Origional post stated the red shirts are pro democracy...Nothing about another side as you state.

As I said the red shirts are pro red democracy which does not resemble real democracy. I will throw in that the red shirts are anti free speach which is also not pro democracy.

I agree, that the Red Shirts are against free speach, but democracy is all in how you define it. Hitler brought democracy to Germany, Mao brought democracy to China, Perdi brought democracy to Siam, in 1932. By definition USA is not a democracy, it is a REPUBLIC.

The voice of the Red Shirts sounds very much like a person which was educated in the teachings of Mao Tsetung.
