The Thai Chamber of Commerce has called a meeting to evaluate the country's political and economic situation and seek ways to resolve the brewing political conflict, said its chairman Kalin Sarasin.

 

He said a number of foreign businesses had expressed concerns about Thailand's safety and whether the government would declare martial law. He assured them that the current political situation would not affect their businesses here.

 

Kalin also voiced support for recalling Parliament for an extraordinary session to seek ways out of the conflict.

 

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the plan but did not set a date for the extraordinary session.

Having been there in two coups it really was basically business as usual for foreigners, hopefully the next one will be the same and free of bloodshed.

How? 

He must be wrong because according to Government Ministers tourists are flooding back to Thailand. 39 arrived just yesterday. Add 6 extra zeros and the arrivals will be the same as in 2019.

Because they do not want to have to deal with educated, 20 year old women who pretty much know they are not going to have much of a future in Thailand.  Disillusioned youth are the biggest problem any country could have.  It all is due to cha cha and his fellow cronies.   The failure is their's alone.   

The protests continue, as the world watches.  And the Baht remains mysteriously high...

The solution lays with Prayut, but he seems reluctant to oblige.

The political situation could be solved in 5 seconds. Prayuts resignation !
