The government has been trying to pay the farmers for weeks. The Constitutional Court and the EC have blocked every move the government has made to solve this. The Elite of Bangkok are using theses poor people as pawns.
Frankly, Dr Bruce, you sound as if you had been adopted by Dr Thaksin. Is your Thai name Pingpongpoo, by any chance?

we all sympathise with the farmers who suffer (from late payments)," Yingluck said.
...we sympathize so much, that we will even sponsor the rope, if a farmer is so desperate to decide to commit suicide," Yingluck added, with tears in her eyes.

Chaturon said though the procurements were not successful, they were definitely free from corruption.
"We will confiscate its security deposit," Kitti Limsakul said in his capacity as an adviser to Chaturon
Free from corruption?!? It ain't free until the security deposit is deposited in my bank account. Then it's free from corruption, Kitti-me-lad.

“The government has dissolved the Lower House and issued a royal decree for a general election but the Democrat Party refused to contest, claiming they wanted a national reform. Their activities are mainly for their political interest.”
I don't quite understand how the Government can issue a royal decree...doesn't that require royalty for the issuing part? On the other hand the government has always had a high opinion of itself and maybe it elevated itself to higher "highs", with Chalerm's expertise.

Thai show business has close ties to government-controlled TV or to media companies with political connections. All entertainment companies want their stars to stay away from politics lest their behaviour compromise business. Whatever their political leanings, Thai celebrities are expected to at least appear neutral.
The exception would be of course when female singers and actors go to Hong Kong for the weekend to "entertain" a certain fugitive...can't get anymore neutral than that.

Chalerm vows to reopen all besieged government offices February 6
"I will use my own head to bash them shut doors open, this I vow from the bottom of my liver! It won't hurt, because my head is already cut off, so I can apply all my awesome force...just watch me, Suthep!"

no understanding of laws of physics + no concept of safety measures + no law enforcement + ridiculously low penalties + company owners' impunity through bribes = fubar

"We are speaking directly to all elements in Thai society to make clear the importance of using democratic and constitutional means to resolve political differences," Psaki added.
Wow, you actually talked to Somchai the tuk tuk driver. Exactly how gullible do you think we are?

Chalerm who is also caretaker Labour Minister, said protesters who obstruct the reopening of these offices, particularly PDRC leaders, would be arrested.
particularly selective...
But he assured that in making arrest, the CMPO would mainly rely on negotiations, not violence.
because he is not a violent man, just misunderstood...
He said the government needed to reopen those offices so that government officials could return to work to service the people.
because that's what they do, service the people, jing jing!
He said it was the duty of the Election Commission to hold fresh elections within 180 days with promise that the CMPO was ready to provide help in terms of both police manpower and the delivery of ballots to troubled provinces should it is requested by the EC.
the EC has a duty, while the CMPO has a promise...
...that's my Chalerm. back in form, must have stopped running away like a Thai driver. His face looks more and more like a basket ball, wonder if that happens when you cut you the head off?

“The road ahead may be rough and thorny. It is sometimes lonely to walk on this road, but we don’t have many existing roads paved with democracy. One day, people will join us to walk on the road together.”
Nice sentimental statement, if a bit overdone...
This is more realistic:
"The road ahead is definitively rough and thorny. It is sometimes lonely to walk on this road, that's why I am hitching a ride in my buddy Chalerm's pink Bentley and I have the perfect handbag to match, while the rest of you stay behind in the dust, smelling our exhaust."

yes you will be sore...but don't sit it out for a couple of days, go right back next day and work those painful muscles again, it really helps. Also hot shower immediately after exercise and eat bananas (potassium helps with lactic acid)

"Tomorrow, I won't go to exercise my voting right because this election is not unconstitutional and it will not achieve a goal of an election under the democratic system," Abhisit posted on his Facebook wall.
He said he would not inform the Election Commission of his reason why he would not vote because his reason did not fit into reasons announced by the EC that voters can cite for skipping an election.
condensed version:
I won't...is not...will not...would not...would not...did not...
so many "nots" in two short sentences, in a notshell I think he is feeling rather negative today...

Defending himself, Supodh presented six relatives who claimed that some of the assets frozen by the NACC belonged to them. Supodh also claimed that he had already owned most of the assets before he took the position of permanent secretary for the Transport Ministry. The six relatives are Narumol Saplom, Sutthiwan Saplom, Chalee Chaimongkol, Anek Jongsathien, Suebpong Prapyai, and Sutthawan Prapyai.

Bridge loan auction for rice scheme met with no-show by banks
Ok, ok government, I'll help you out:
1. Just tell the banks it's a loan for a bridge, not a bridge-loan for a fubar rice scam. (This is called a lie, I know you can do it)
2. Then misappropriate those funds and pay the farmers. (This is called a crime, I know you can do it)
3. Just in case, blame foreigners. (This is called a cover-up, I know you can do it)
There, I wrote it all out for you, just follow the recipe. (This is called an "Idiot's Guide", I'm not so sure you can do it...)

Somsamai said her family eked out a living until receiving a $300 micro-loan in 2006, courtesy of a fund established in every village by Thaksin.
She has also benefited from a landmark "30 baht" (one dollar) scheme bringing access to healthcare to all.
Such policies, dubbed "Thaksinomics", have boosted the fortunes of many in Thailand's long-neglected north and northeast.
Another successful policy is not mentioned at all:
Vote Buying. Vote for Thaksin and receive 300baht. That really changed Issan's reality: corruption stays in power unchecked, while the Issan voter can kill more brain cells with cheap whisky. Everybody wins.

Remember that this article is from the hopelessly biased 'Nation'. The problem is that the EC wont let the government borrow the money it needs to pay the farmers.
However much has been syphoned off in corrupt payments, the scheme has let to financial stability for farmers (until now) and the Isaan economy is booming. Once the government is returned to power taxing the rich more and collecting taxes that are due (tax evasion here is worse than Greece) should seal the hole in the coffers.
The corruption is lamentable, but this scheme has resulted in a major redistribution of wealth. For too long the Isaan and Lanna have been the rice baskets for Bangkok and its source of cheap exploitable labour. This is changing and Sutheps patrons dont like it.
The government should have budgeted for this payment BEFORE they called an election. The payments have been outstanding since October, before the EC were even involved.
Sent from my phone ...
IMO, this government:
can't, won't and doesn't understand budgeting (i.e. the lost 350bn baht flooding budget
);it can't, won't and doesn't understand accounting/accountability (sic
);it can't, won't and doesn't understand governing (just look at their political talent
);however:
it can, will and understands perfectly the principles of corruption, how to break the law and evade justice, how to look out for themselves and their cronies, practice nepotism, favoritism and intimidation
in a word, this government is composed of self-serving, inept, criminal, narcissistic, unethical liars whose pants are on fire right now...

My man Chalerm...he's got a black belt in disguising...he is also a stand-up comedian (in disguise)...a true multi-talented multi-tasking renaissance man...all bow down to Chalerm the Undescribable!
