1) stage a coup, and give carte blanche amnesty to yourselves
2) detain politicians and send them to be "re-educated", and only release them when they sign some BS statement
3) form a bogus military government with lackies to re-write, for the umpteenth time, a new Constitution which tips the scales heavily in your favour
4) form a new " political party" to capitalize on the new voting regulations
5) are on TV & radio for hours every week, droning on about how great you are, hoping to brainwash the citizens ... for 4+ years
6) select a new set of Election Commissioners to help tip the scale even more
7) ban one of the pesky Opposition parties just weeks before the election
And, even after all of these measures, you STILL don't win the rigged elections, then you have to get it into your thick head that the Thai people REALLY do not care for you nor your ham-fisted tactics.
And, what's worse, your dictatorial actions helped to destroy a party which was a major player for decades, and forced the resignation of its leader - because it had tacitly supported your coup.
Bonus - the big-mouthed clown, who collected millions from his marches to help bring down the previous government, got only 1 seat
For #5 I would add "while others were not allowed to open their mouths and speak their mind"

The Thai Embassy in New Zealand has expressed disappointment over the possibility of advance votes by Thai expats in New Zealand being declared void, arguing that the votes were delivered in Thailand well before the counting of votes began.

Here is an example : when I first moved here my thai neibour was curious to know where and how I learnt how to water the garden and vacum the pool ....... I get the feeling they are not encouraged to think, just do as they are told, if they are told and shown..
The idea of questioning and thinking is beaten the hell out of them at a very young age at school so unless the environment (meaning mostly the parents) encourages this then unfortunately we get the result we see around us today.
When Lee Kuan Yew was asked if he feared for Singapore’s future development because of its much bigger neighbours he smiled and replied, “What are their education systems like?”
Education, education, education.. Oh well, TIT.-

Its certainly no excuse but I was in a similar situation few months back that made me think again about Thais ignoring ambulances. In my situation I, and many others, pulled over when an ambulance with lights flashing and siren blaring loomed up in my rear vision mirror. Five minutes down the road I caught up with the same ambulance parked outside a 7/11 with the crew sitting outside enjoying a cold drink and a smoke????
Crew plus one maybe? ????

Sitting in the front seat with daddy, and no seat belt to restrain her?
In my 10 years living and driving in Thailand I can't recall seeing a child properly being restrained in the seat. Worse, I have seen children exiting the car unattended and on top of that banging the door on the car parked next to them.
RIP to the victims, most of the times these can be avoided but TIT.

That reminds me of a quote by Margaret Thatcher.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
For socialism use Populism.
Haha, actually my comment was based on her quote ????
