Popular Post poppysdad Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 As the heading indicates, my wife isn’t in the best of moods this morning after hearing of the fully expected election results yesterday. She flicking from channel to channel to see if the news is any better on another one, and any comment from me even in support of her results in a short sharp reply. 1 2 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nikmar Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Mrs Nik is quite upbeat this morning, being a huge fan of the institution and the military government. Proper yellow shirt that she is. My son, on the other hand, is a little angry at it all. As you can imagine, there is a little friction in the house. Im staying clear! Pub tonight!

Popular Post DaddyWarbucks Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) My wife saves most of her irritability for me. Politics doesn't affect her that much. That's OK by me... the last thing I need is more controversy in the house. Edited July 14, 2023 by DaddyWarbucks 1 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gomangosteen Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 An upset household: 1, 2, and 3 Ms M's employer took all the senior staff out for a two hour lunch yesterday, optimistically in anticipation of Pita being successful Daughter #1 was actively involved pre-election rounding up uni students ensuring they voted; controlled fury; Daughter #2 in Yr13 was the worst of the lot These are the next generation, despise/loathe etc the army/govt and interference from 'above'. My only hope is that whatever happens it's without bloodshed and a repeat of 2010's violence. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 My ex-gf is livid with the military this morning. I took the opportunity to remind her that she supported the coup in 2014 (she hates the redshirts) even though I told her at the time that it was a bad idea and it was better to let the Democratic process play out. That went down well... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottfrid Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Guy! If it´s not one thing, it´s the other. You all seem to have problem with your wifes. Bad choices I guess. Some choose the bar to find them, and others the high society. Ending up with unteachable know nothings or snobby royalists on high maintenance. Long time ago, when I travelled around in Thailand, I stayed with a family in Isaan during a full rice season. That ended up with that I married their fairly beautiful daughter. Not a bombshell, but neither an ugly duckling. After that, I have taken her to my home country, given her education. Explained things myself. Today, she runs her own profitable business and can support herself and her family. Have no problem, whatsoever. Even as she is totally independent, she still chose to stay married and be with me. See, what a lucky guy I am. However, back to the real issue in this thread. Watching the news and irritation over results. Oh Yes! That was one thing that was included in her education. Do not care about the outcome, do not care about the news or Thailands political situation. Do not trust the authorities nor the police. So, the result is that she can not care less, and we just laugh together about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bday Prang Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 My mrs is fairly pragmatic about it . she did get a bit carried away with it all, initially ,as she is a bit of a facebook addict, and she thinks he's better looking than Prayut and any of the others. But like me she doesn't trust any of the trough feeders, and does not share the over optimistic dreams of utopia expressed by some of the posters on here, Her main worries are an increase in the baht, since I explained how it would affect her (us) and stricter immigration, and she knows I won't be happy if they ban the devils lettuce again, (and neither will the mother in law) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
