I'm trying to imagine how naive and gullible you would have to be to believe this poll.
I'm thinking most of the posters on this forum are mature males, probably from western countries, and having some extensive experience of life in general.
That's why most of the posts are laughing at the so called result.
But there we have a couple who actually swallow this stuff!
Can you imagine what's going on up there?
Knowing Thailand, knowing their penchant for absolute corruption, watching this scenario unfold, just like a bad soviet propaganda film.
And yet they are believing it all.
Incredible!
"just like a bad soviet propaganda film.", or one of Fox's Better reports!

This again shows that Prayut is putting the people first by not having an election that will legitimize his position in the eyes of the west.
If he did have an election under martial law knowing he would win some (7% of Thai's and 8 falangs on TVF) would think it was rigged for him to win. If he had an election that was not under martial law knowing he would win the 7%'s would be out terrorizing, burning and killing again.
So for Prayut to know that he would win the next election and still hold off to allow reforms to pave the way to a peaceful sustainable democracy shows that he is truly heralding the voice of the majority and which is reflected in these polls today.
You really have got to be joking, you're percentages are rubbish and you know it and your last statement is laughable.

Actually I'm surprised they can find somewhere to jump without landing on a gang of ladyboys.

Corrupt, nepotism, cronyism, scandalous, disgraceful and an insult to the community. The old guard is back and they are worse than ever...and that's saying something.
But, but, the reds, blah blah...
Over to Rubl & djjamie..
Don't hold your breath, the apologists for the facists are stiil watching the nightly happiness show and regurgitating it every day.
There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE.
Back to anyone who doesn't love the Shin self enriching kleptocracy must be a fascist (note spelling) and support the Junta routine again.
The Shins were so anal in their nepotism and cronyism that little sis lost her glorious PM/DM positions because of it. They got carried away and thought they could ignore rules in their quest to fill key positions with family controlled numbties.
Many countries around the world seem to tolerate this appalling behavior from their politicians - with wives, children and assorted relatives being paid a salary from tax payers money for services as secretaries, researchers, gofers etc. The UK has had many scandals regarding this and abuse of home allowances. The rules are outdated but politicians wont change them for obvious reasons.
It's crap the NLA leader endorses it - but let's not pretend the Shins didn't max it for their family's benefit either. How many little Shins did "auntie poo" have on the payroll? How many Shins and in-laws were receiving some form of state payment? Wonder if Ying's lad was paid for his hi-speed train lunch box design or just got another meddle to add to his already impressive ribbons on his state uniform?
Many people see this, and simply accept it as being beyond change - as all the politicians take advantage and wont change it.
nobody's saying the shins didn't do it or it isn't prevalent in many countries, the point here is this lot said they'd clean it up. Fat chance! fat pigs at the trough will never share.

Bangkok is a feudal system. It is running Thailand.
No worse then the shin dictatorship.
Never seen an elected dictator. Universal suffrage is far from perfect, but people usually get the government that deserve. As much as you and other despise them, the Shinawatra are hardworking and intelligent. More so than any other Thai family. They paid attention to those in the countryside while other privilege families stayed home. There are reasons to dislike them but why can't some other family challenge them ?
Iran, Venezuela, Turkey. Egypt (Morsi). And, of course, Germany, Hitler. That's just a beginning of a list of elected dictators.
your point is nonsense, but just for the record: hilter was not elected dictator. He was appointed by the power that be. They, presumably, were sorry later.
So no different to Yingluck, she was appointed as well. Unlike popular belief she wasn't elected as she wasn't a constituency MP just party list. She was appointed PM after a parliamentary vote!
Perhaps you would like to elaborate on who was the elected "dictator of Venezuela,
if you're referring to the late great Hugo Chavez, read on.

You can't honestly believe this. Amnesty bill that the majority didn't want, but was voted through by 310 - 0 for the benefit of one unelected accused mass murderer, accused terrorist and convicted criminal fugitive. Even the Junta votes were not this one sided and they never purported to be democratic.…Sure, yingluck was elected, but it don't make this scenario right.
Indeed, I don't see anyone anywhere I go that is affected by martial law, but then I don't associate with politicians or trouble makers.
The OP says there are 20 people detained......Out of 65 million.
While the other 64.9999, whatever million go about their normal business.
and 64.999999999999 cannot vote .000000000000000001 are 'given' their posts by the Junta but you are not a fan of democracy as it's not 'your country' Thais I know are downcast and 'waiting' because they ALL know this is about something we cannot discuss here
What is democracy?
For sure it is not a bunch of brainwashed sheeples being abused to fulfill the will of a greedy family clan
and being helped as well as controlled by a violent gang abusing the word democracy in their name
you can't honestly believe this? you really have fallen for the Junta spin, Goebbels would have loved it
'we are getting rid of democracy for your own good because you keep voting the wrong way'
To get rid of democracy you must have had it in the first place and by golly gee 1/15th democratic does not count.
It has been shown by the PTP that democracy ceased post ballot box. That is where democracy should begin.
A supporter base was being manipulated by unsustainable unaffordable policies to ensure electoral victory. A dictatorship is appealing to a very narrow supporter base in this case, rice farmers. A democracy is an ability to appeal to a broad section of the population and not just rice farmers.
The majority of Thai's realize this and to make it a reality, reform is needed before the next election lest in 10 to 20 years time that narrow voter base is manipulated again and we go back to square one. I cannot speak for the Thai's and I don't purport to, but if the PTP win after the reform my wife who is a supporter of all the principles of democracy would herald the win a success of democracy knowing full well there will be no abuse of power, no blatant corruption, no ramming through amnesties against the will of the majority and no telling voters "you will get what you want when you vote for us" and as is indicated by the brutal repression of peaceful protesters that is more akin to Iraq than Thailand where the UDD supporters laugh and cheer when they realize the opposition have been killed and maimed. That's not the democracy I am used to.
I look forward to a true real democracy. The one that is defined in the dictionary. Not the principle called election. People always harp on about elections as if that is it. Start finish and middle of democracy. Yet they stay silent on the abuses that the PTP perpetuated when they held power. Whether it is ignoring the fact or ignorance is still out with the jury, but suffice to say only one principle is only ever repeated here. One. Democracy is more than one.
Bizzaro world is when millions come out to protest. The biggest protests in Thai history and they are dismissed as the minority. When 3 students hold up 3 fingers in front of Prayuth they are the overwhelming majority.
Lets have an election you may say? Why…If they did and the PTP didn't win you have already got the narrative lined up that the Junta have rigged the polls or some other wonderful excuse to disrespect the majority.
So many inaccuracies it's impossible to address.
Fact is, they had a democratically elected government, but the losers, egged on by corrupt courts and a corrupt army, violently seized government buildings seriously hampering the workings of government, then violently disrupted democratic elections (despite the promises of the general to protect said elections), deemed necessary by the removal from office of the PM, by the corrupt courts on the flimsiest of excuses. Of course this was all according to plan, the elites/Prem/Generals will never let democracy flourish, they have no wish to share the trough. What's needed is a Chavez/Gadaffi type to clear out the fascists and start running the country for the good of the Thai people and not just the old order.

What is next ?
Anyway.....it certainly seems that many Americans and British have one thing in common.......thinking that they, and ao their countries set up, are the centre of the world.....one can only wonder.....
That's because they are!
There wouldn't be a "free" developed world without the good'ole US and Britain.
Depending on where you're from you'd be speaking German, Japanese or Russian if it wasn't for American and British resolve and sacrifice.
How very true,unfortunately there are large numbers of people with very short memories! thankfully in the UK we always have our rememberence days,for all those,that gave their lives in Europe for us,AND without the help of Americans, and their huge loss of life,Europe would not have the freedom,they enjoy now! and undoubtedly Europe and the UK would have lost WW2.
You need a history lesson mate, "huge loss of life"? tell that to Russia.

Dual sim doesn't have an SD slot. Wise choice though, cracking phone.

The "witch hunt" is in full swing
I think the correct term is "Purge".
I see your "purge", and raise you a "Proscription".

No, the time for justice has come for some politicians that avoided the law for years.
Jesus
you are some piece of work Costas
It is clear its a witchhunt the public prosecutor DECLINED TO PROSECUTE so they are going to do it themselves as time continues there is less and less credability for this government that took over at the point of a gun under the guise they are indpendant of any color LOL its very clear who is back at the reigns by having to use the GUN because they could never get in by the VOTE.
yes they took over at the point of a gun..because chalem had all the guns firing at the protesters ..your memory selective again..at least try to be honest or dont bother posting biased remarks ok..
."because chalem had all the guns firing at the protesters"

Yes. I cannot understand, and on other social media, people are talking about this, that on this board, so many think that the yellow shirts are the good guys, when they were responsible for all the chaos, in the first place. When they managed to impeach Taksin, they saw they still not could elected, and every time, over and over again, they put the country in chaos. Taking over the airport, is only a small thing (but cost Thai society an arm and a leg!), compared of all the impact all their actions has caused wrong. And you are the bad guy, stopping this madness?
A government should be ELECTED, and neither the Yellows, or the army has been. I would have much more sympathy, for this government, if they would keep BOTH parties to rest in any action to put the country in problem for their own benefit.
They should not have interfered to throw over an democratic chosen Government, but to stop illegal actions from the opposition, to paralyze the country for their own benefit. And again, I am totally aware, tha the "red shirts" are no saints either, but at least they have been elected, and if there is doubt about that, it should be investigated a legal way, and no witch hunt be involved. Get new elections, see that none of the parties are able to bribe the result, and that the army interfere, not to act against a legal elected government, but to act against the disturbance of the peace.
the yellows did not contest in the elections....
And a government that uses full scale vote buying isn't democratic elected. And even if it would it needs to follow the constitution and the separation of power....
Still trotting out the discredited party line
Boring!
