NoshowJones Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 53 minutes ago, John Drake said: Some people it seems have made an emotional investment in the new government. But I too think we should wait and see--especially on immigration issues that might directly have an effect on us. By no means do I think some guy is a savior for Thailand simply because he's youngish, smiles a lot, and seems to edge towards the West. I remain concerned that China will continue to pull the strings, here. And that's not good for anybody, Thai or foreign. By all means give the new government a chance. But when it comes to immigration I just hope they keep their hands off and let it remain as is. No changes. But we do need changes, stopping treating retiree's being treated like criminals with this 90 day reporting nonsense for a start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meeseeks Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 2 hours ago, MrMojoRisin said: The army instituted a coup to bring stability to Thailand after instituting instability to bring about an excuse for a coup. All started back in the early 2000s when Thaksin stopped government banks giving their mates free money to pay off their debts. One in particular, an old friend no less, used his failed media business to propagandize support against Thaksin, destabilize the country and provoke a military coup. Since then there has been no resolution to the differences and Thai politics is as fractured as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Srikcir Posted June 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2023 Might Prayut become a Senator (maybe even President of the Senate?) as the current 250 Senator terms will soon expire (after 2023?). Part of the current Senators originated from a selection process that included a junta-appointed committee that chose ultimately 194 members out if the total 250. In addition six positions were given to top military and police leaders. The Constitution makes clear the Senators are not elected. I don't see the military letting go its hold in the Senate after losing cobtrol of the government. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably has piles of pieces of brown paper stacked up like newspapers in the army house. The maid gossip network told me that the house of a politician in our village piles of that stuff everywhere. These guys never need to use credit cards for anything in Thailand.

His change of location is, in terms of his potential to do damage, meaningless. The real "house cleaning" has yet to begin.

I don't see the military letting go its hold in the Senate after losing cobtrol of the government. The constitution for senate appointments is only a transitory provision and has to be amended by the next government. The provision task the NCPO to select and appoint the senators after the coup. NCPO has been dissolved making the amendment mandatory. Moreover all the appointments will expire next year.The new civilian government will defintely right this wrong and amend for elected senators.
