It has plenty to do with me. gonna be hard on your daughter if you're deported. and why are you even here? surely the best future for your daughters education is NOT in Thailand What do you mean surely his daughter's education is not in Thailand? Are you saying that Thailand's education system is bad? Is that a criticism of the education minister? Is that a criticism of the person who chose the education minister? Explain yourself!!! Actually, who cares? Someone in government might infer that you're criticizing the government and deport 'you'. Best say nothing. No gestures. No expressions. Happy days.

It's the dummy TV sheep living inside thailand borders and bashing that are at risk. Why any foreigner living here would attack its military regime is a mystery.

Eric Loh Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 TVF only represent a tiny portion of the online criticism of the junta. View the Thai social media space and you find stronger increasing anger and frustration of the junta behavior. Even main stream media and academics which were pro junta in the beginning have been critical of the junta. You going to jail them all? Those still hanging on to the junta coattails have really lose any sense of righteousness and wrongness of the junta's behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but it won't happen - sadly. Authoritarianism is on the rise . Lots of muppets like Prayuth and his acolytes. Mouth bigger than brain. I heard that in USA these days, there are people who quite like the Donald. Likewise there are people in Thailand who like Prayuth. Remarkable really.

They will spit feathers in private but as soon as Anybody Frightfully Important from Bangkok shows up at their town or village, there they will be, fawning, grovelling and looking for pats on the head. This is why I have more or less lost patience with them - 'Nobody else gives a crap so why should I?' Don't mistake a lack of civil disobedience or general public outcry for inertia. Those people are the "sea". Don't expect them to overtly oppose the Junta or jeopardise their own ability to support the "fish". Not you, me, or anyone else using this forum, know who the fish are, even though they daily swim around us. We will be the last to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you had better get out of the Officers mess in Bangkok and get yourself out more. Your comments are getting as comical as your masters friday night comedy show. By the way are you his script writer ? Who is going to pay for all his follies ? I pity whoever has to govern this country in the future as they will have no say in it, and have to clear up the debts to satisfy the cravings of one man !
