And of course losing votes doesn't concern Prayut and Prawit as they weren't elected anyway and they have ways of finding votes if they need them!

Sonyboy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I can understand their frustration,but Marxist(Professors/Tutors)tutored students in America and the UK are being used and sponsored by evil,very wealthy people to do their dirty work, sponsoring mainly young people to riot(BLM/gullible young white people} and change democratically elected governments and take everything else back to hundreds of years ago,so that their ultra wealthy sponsors can eventually become the few masters and make even more billions,looks like their cash has arrived here as well.

sambum Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) "He also advised those planning to gather to follow related rules, including precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus" What virus? The Coronavirus that the Government assure us is no longer here, and hasn't been here for 25 days? (Apart from the Egyptian soldier that this predominantly military Government let into the country without quarantine, and then let him go walkabout in Rayong?) Or the virus that will spread hope amongst the people for a proper Democracy, and hope for the future, instead of a continual State of Emergency and threat of imprisonment for disagreeing with the government?

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 18 minutes ago, Mr Meeseeks said: As you know, you can do it after 3 years paying taxes. Nobody will do it for you nor is it automatic unfortunately. Not easy but it is possible, as you well know. The fact that residency and citizenship is easily available for women married to Thai men suggests it is the type of foreign men that Thailand generally attracts that seems to be the problem, not necessarily just blanket xenophobia as many would assume. Yeah I don't buy any piece of it. Paying taxes on what? They don't support me and I don't have to work here to make money to live. Lived here so long technically I have paid more than my fair share of taxes on every item I have purchased or eaten in a normal inside restaurant. You mean foreign women who are unofficially considered the Thai man's property? No one ever suggested that PR should be given over 1-2-3 years of being married. But be serious, it is not that easy and the cost is a lot of money not guaranteed they will approve. USA is much kinder and I know lots of Thai gals there who have it and citizenship getting it rather easy. Xenophobic it exactly is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbagwill Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 7 hours ago, Hayduke said: but the odds are still stacked steeply against them. Why do people say things like that? the fact is that ALL change in the world involves demonstations at some point and area valid and important part of the process. Only a fool would expect a change to be immediate - what this does do is publicise that a significant part of the people are aware and unhappy with the current situation - it also signals to others that they are not alone in their dissatisfaction. The government probably feels that this kind of protest is insignificant enough for them to ignore, however they can't exactly;y be regarded as experts on public opinion.

All the rules and regulations in regards to Corvid have been lifted in Thailand , everythings nearly back to complete normality , the only reg still in place are heat testing in malls and some restaurants still have social distancing measures, apart from that , all back to normal Also if Corona was rife in Thailand , the hospitals would be full of virus carrying people, which the hospitals are not Edited July 19, 2020 by CorpusChristie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
