hotchilli Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 23 hours ago, PJPom said: As one of my subjects at school I studied the History of Britain and Europe and find many similarities to present day Thailand. The granting of concessions by the Monarch, the absolute rule by the minority, the only knowledge carefully controlled by the Lord or the Church. This was seven hundred years ago............ Which is where Thailand is headed back to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolleen Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Admire his bravery. It is amazing hours a people are. Some people born in Getto and their lives goes by spending in drinking and bars. With some thai prostitute wife. Some born to change / try to do the world better. This man is not a vegetable that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same reasoning it also doesn't mean he will be corrupt either, does it? Mango Bob is correct. Correct, the point is that we can't automatically assume that anti corruption stance pre power means no corruption once in power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More... not only to get answers to these important questions but to actually 'shake the tree' and open up wider discussion on a number of points which do need serious change and were, in the past, and even now to the current coalition subjects which were not opened up. Go for it Thanathorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkerN Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 'Mum' on wealth of generals? Wow. I wonder why that would be? It can't possibly be that the nice Mr Prayuth and his mates in green are corrupt at a very basic level - surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
