money over morals i guess. 

 

 

for me yes.....I rather have money than teaching other countries what they should do....

And for some poor Thai higher prices will change what they are able to feed their children...(and not to mention that the poor people in Myanmar suffers as well not the military)

You seem to have no problem with that....

Just treat all military Juntas like pariah, start by shutting off their money supply, especially those who practice genocide.

Till now it is just empty talk...Empty talk is cheap. And I doubt the most genius person could come up with a working peace deal in Myanmar, as neither side there will cave in....so it is just wasted time.

A positive approach would be more appropriate. Neighboring counries should put a lot of pressure on Myanmar, lead by Thailand.

 

Seems to me for Khun Pita this would bring strong gains; push Myanmar to understand it must change, and to educate many Thai folks what a balanced civil society looks like and behaves like.

No it is their internal affairs....Would you accept if China put pressure on Thailand to implement their style of civil society? That are military families battling for power...one more close to China, one more democratic but close to USA. Thailand should keep their fingers out of it. Not taking any side in the greater China/USA conflict. And in case of how the treat minorities they are both bad

Even empty talk is preferred to the kind of weak, cowardly, pathetic complicity the Thai army has shown towards Burma.

So just ignore the severe ruthless death and violence committed every day against many women and children.

nothing to loose? Thailand is doing a lot trade with Myanmar and also buys their gas there. So having a good relationship is important.

A lot to loose....Just to show the twitter world that we can do tough talking. In reality no one care.

PTTEP are the biggest oil and gas producer in Myanmar and operate the largest gas field.

 

Total and other Western operators have exited due to human rights concerns.

You could ask Thai people if they want to pay in 500 Baht every month with the target that Myanmar people get 500 Baht less every month.

But it will make the Myanmar military upset and you are on the moral high ground.

For me that is complete pointless.

Lost money....if you take out cheap pipeline gas, maybe oil....gas get more expensive, transportation of goods get more expensive, electric get more expensive, fertilizer get more expensive. On the other hand Thailand is exporting things to Myanmar which is cost. Everyone looses money....pick a number...Many years ago it was a big amount of gas that Thailand bought for electric generation. I don't know if that is still the case or if that has changed. Last time (longer ago) I was in Ranong, there were lots of tourists from Myanmar as they begin to have more money they also become tourists. That money would be lost.

You are correct. 

 

However, countries and companies with morals and ethical behaviour will not deal with murderous, despotic regimes.

And doing so can cost them dearly as they are declared sanction busters and penalties come into play.
