Excellent idea. Publish a list of their names, that of their spouses, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children (no, they are NOT off limits). Punish them all by association, and shame and humiliate the heathen senators into submission. Inflict as much pain onto them as possible, and make their lives a living hell.

 

This is a very serious situation, and should be treated as such. Anything it takes. There is no shame in fighting filthy people with dirty tactics.

Seriously... their children aren't off limits? You need to have a quiet word with yourself. Their family members did not vote, the senators did.

One vocal Senator has vowed to sue each and every person who has posted on Twitter using the hashtag #ธุรกิจสว

 

Meanwhile, Somchai Sawaengkarn, one of the 250 junta-appointed senators, said several members were gathering evidence to file a defamation lawsuit against netizens for the boycott.

 

Somchai warned individuals engaging in such behaviour not to take it lightly, as senators have gathered evidence. All past incidents would be investigated and, if found to fall within the scope of defamation, legal action would be taken in all cases, he said.

i think it's time to invest in tissue and brown envelope companies.

i just bought shares in a baking soda company too. 

I like this idea. I hope that it happens. When their wives have no money for shopping in Paris, Dubai, and London, the Senators will be told to vote for the will of the Thai population.

That is very carefully worded, but nevertheless holds a very distinct threat.

Lest we forget that most of these Senators are mentally living in 1998 or so.

Surely you mean 1688?

I've already boycotted my local senator's mobile noodle stall and turn my nose up when he arrives at my gate on his Sam lor selling Ice cream. I'll have the last laugh I tell you! ????

What are they going to do. Sue 70 percent of the population who voted for him.

They are members of super corrupt families. They benefit on countless levels. No, the entire family should be shamed. It just might embarrass dad into submission. If the senators are not entirely shameless. They just might be beyond shame.

No he doesn't, all is fair in love and war and if those entitled spouses and children who have reaped the benefits of their families corruption are a way to bring about positive change then bring it on

Weak, pathetic, cowardly, self entitled hooligans, who are accustomed to a perch atop the ivory tower, scared to death of being taken down a notch, and being asked to be accountable for their heinous and unforgivable actions. Of course they will resort to whatever dirty tactics they can. That is who and what they are. Filth. They are the deplorables.

 

Hah! Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of the gravy train. Let us hope Thai society has the courage and moral conviction to hold these criminals responsible. 

Time has come for a strong and collective people's revolution.

A universal and most extended general strike might be in order......with broad attached guerrilla schemes. 

If that's what it takes - so be it. 

 

The traditional ruling establishment will not acquiesce to people's wishes, so the people will make the choices for them.

Run the whole cabal out of town - severing ties permanently.

The baht is very resilient due to the USD swap line in place with the Thai central bank, no doubt.  Also, one cannot buy or sell large amount of baht.  These are other ways the friendly politicians rig the game.  This country is run by a handful of individuals.  Don't think boycotting  some businesses will be very effective at all. Plan B needs to be implemented.

Plan B is ?

Nazis tried that with Jewish businesses. Didn’t end well for them. As much as most people dislike the those senators, it is law. Change the law and do it the right way.

Whether it is Lesse Majeste or $$$, it still would likely push recalcitrant Senators to vote, "No".

Don't agree, I like a party but I would not shirk the serious stuff, if you needed to be disciplined I would do that. If you where one of the treacherous creatures hobbling Thailand I would happily put the noose around your neck and take the strain....

Very true, the children should be left out of this. 

BUT, I've heard the international schools are trying to block Pitha's daughter from attending now.   This has to be looked into.

Absolutely. The defamation laws were written by sold out cowards, to protect rotten players from reprisals, due to bad service, faulty products and bad business. They have no place in today's world. They represent a heinous over reach of toxic power. 

 

Thailand deserves whatever comes its way as a result of this. Those insane and cowardly defamation laws have been around way too long. They were written and passed by sold out politicians, for men who sell inferior products, offer inferior services, and steal alot of money. And do not intend to be answerable to anyone. Perhaps some of that will change. 

 

For those of us who have been here a awhile, we know that positive change only happens here through utter embarrassment, humiliation, and a loss of face. It never happens because it is the right thing to do, or due to fairness or equity. So, it must be thrust upon them, such as in this incident. 

 

The lack of vision prevents them from seeing it coming. Egg on the face can be a cure for many diseases and weaknesses. 

 

Call out the goombahs, and laugh in their faces when they make their inevitable threats! 

 

In a nutshell, spot on Sir....
