ah those guardian spirits again who must have been taking a nap when the coup happened?
Maybe it is thanks to all the Guardian Spirits that the coup Happened.
To put an end to all the corrupt and incompetent management that the country had.
"To put an end to all the corrupt and incompetent management that the country had."
And return it to the original corrupt and incompetent management of Prem's elite buddies.

you such a fantasist . Read again and grow up unless you are a juvenile
But when stated that english is spoken better and more widely in malaysia than n thailand the OP disagreed and relied on the report for proof of his convictions. Which is wrong.In case some of you didn't read the article in full. At no point does it make a comparison with Thailand or ASEAN at all. They simply discuss the low levels of English proficiency exhibited by Malaysian English teachers.
Any comparisons have been made by the posters on this forum.
"you such a fantasist"
And that's an example of your English?

There you have it! Unlimited freedom of speech leads to conflict. So in P's eyes this will be controlled as long as he remains in power. Points of views are to be suppressed if you don't conform to the way P wants.
So far this has only been dealt with using courts and adjustment camps. I fear it will get a lot worse and can only hope it doesn't get like N.K. With his 20 year roadmap now one can only guess at when he will step down and allow democracy to return. One also has to wonder if the people running for the next gov are going to be hand picked by him to ensure his way of thinking remains the rule for a very long time.
I was all for his coupe. Thailand needed to be rid of the T clan rule and PTPs hand in everything. P has been doing many good things for Thailand, but????
"P has been doing many good things for Thailand"
Such as?

Then that begs another question....
Both smartphones do not have sensitive data on them and I believe there is an APP or two that can help secure them, so......
any recommendations on a cheap VPN I could use for the next 4 months that would take at least 1 link - the laptop?
I've not been in this situation before so am trying to find my way through with help from you brainy people
I use IPVanish, seems reasonable.

Blimey, you must be a stranger to these parts, that's a circada, they can be so loud as to hurt your eardrums. Welcome to Asia.

It is ironic, to me at least, that the once isolated, junta run, nation known as Burma or Myanmar has just concluded national elections and the NLD and Aung San Suu Kyi won in a landslide victory. Whether said victory was hollow only the coming weeks will tell.
Meanwhile here in the Kingdom of Thailand citizens are being told to shut up and conform and are being threatened.
One state passes over the mantle to a neighbor?
Speaking of which.....why has there been little to no coverage of that election on here? Am I missing something?? Am I looking in the wrong places?? Surely what is happening next door is worthy of some news items and threads??
Do you mean the recent election in Myanmar where the people gave a resounding "up-yours" to the military that had oppressively and incompetently ruled them for so many years?
Maybe the Thai press can't think of a way to put a pro-junta spin on it, and is afraid to present it any other way.
I wouldn't get too exited about the elections in Burma, nothing much will change, the army still retain the power.

Maybe Windows 10 will be sorted by then.

Not quite Gandhi, or the Dalai Lama huh.
Yu'p amazed that a monk is saying this stuff, Now is there some justification to his extreme comments? Some would say yes there is.
Innocent people are murdered down south that have nothing to do with the problem of Thailand's annexing the south and they are seen as fair game by some of these people; ie monks, school teachers, nurses, government workers, police, soldiers, men women and children have fallen victim to these people.
So what would you suggest to do about it? The softly softly approach? Fight fire with fire? Negotiations, give back the annexed land? infiltrate the extremist and gaol them indefinitely?
The thing is, One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, now that's ok if you only target combatant's, but when civilians are deliberately targeted then that is terrorism in my opinion.
But there is a common denominator in this issue and that is Islam and the requirement's of Muslim's of their teachings in the Quran of how to treat non Muslim's.
Now this is NOT an anti Muslim comment, simply an opinion after becoming familiar with the teachings in that book.
"But there is a common denominator in this issue and that is Islam and the requirement's of Muslim's of their teachings in the Quran of how to treat non Muslim's."
Well I've never read the book but I have worked in the middle east, travelled in various Muslim countries and always been treated with the utmost hospitality and respect, and made good Muslim friends over the years, so I assume this must be what you're referring to.

'phoenixdoglover' #36: Let me make it more simple for you: do you believe a few (two?) 'modal' Thais, meaning rather low-educated, with small financial means, and little free-time, could be able to organise and execute such a terrorist(!) attack on their own?
YES or NO?
Just that, please, thank you for your genuine reply!
(N.B., not for you, for other potential readers: with all the 'ingredients' it supposes, comparable to a commando operation: target I.D., 'intel', planning, material, logistics, transport, 'support', 'recons', protection, execution, get away, etc., + the MONEY for it all)
Oi mate, there's a protest going on quick grab a grenade, jump on bike, ride there, lob grenade, escape, there, easy peasy,
"comparable to a commando operation: target I.D., 'intel', planning, material, logistics, transport, 'support', 'recons', protection, execution, get away, etc., + the MONEY for it all)"

On the plus side, I am happy to see this was the "Criminal Court", rather than a military court, that handed down this verdict and sentencing.
I would hope we can all agree that there is no place for this sort of violent action by any side.
While I don't believe the Junta had sufficient justification for their coup, It is also obvious the near daily violence in Bangkok was intolerable. The previous government failed to stop it, and that is a huge black mark for them.
On the other hand...life sentence, commuted to 43 years...that's pretty extreme. I would hope these guys serve 10 to 20 years.
Failed to stop it ?. Are you serious ?.
And you might have been taking a nap, but this sort of violence only comes from one side.
The UDD are very tightly coupled with Pheu-Thai. They would never do this without orders from the top.
It was state sanctioned terrorism. Nothing less.
"but this sort of violence only comes from one side"
Oh please, even a die hard fascist such as yourself couldn't believe such lies, and neither do the rest of us.

"Why do some users of Windows 7 never get the upgrade via updates?"
Dunno, just lucky I guess!

Fast enough for who?If you buy anything less than an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy S you will wonder what all the rave is about smart phones. A basic smart phone will be slow, unresponsive, freezes all the time and will drive you nuts.
Cobblers! I've got a first generation Moto G runnung Lollipop 5.1. Awesome screen, awesome performance for the price. Very responsive, fast enough and never freezes. Surely the best value for money ever.
Fast enough for my fat fingers LOL

Don't touch an iphone with a pooey stick. Overpriced pretty looking junk.
Maybe this will help.

But use it as a guide only; you want to buy one here that works with local networks (there are different frequencies).
And do go and look at them and try them out (and consider battery life).
Agreed, Apple overpriced, overhyped, just a fashion statement.
