I will disagree with other posters here at thai visa.

As I said with Kan Win, statements of fact disqualify you from a chance at the Chang.

Predictions and premonitions if you want the beer!

Thats alright, Im a tea totler. If I won the beer I was going to donate it to THAKSIN after wiping my scrotum around the tops of the bottles.

More westerners will come to Thailand full of hope and then have their superiority attitude shattered, and end up as bitter internet farangs on ThaiVisa

You got that right for sure.

Hey, you're good at these predictions. Give me the winning lottery numbers for the next 6 months.

"Holland" will flood from Global Warming, and most of the displaced people will try to emigrate to The Kingdom of Thailand. Those that are allowed in will live in the low-lying areas. Some experienced Dutch engineers will be allowed to assist with the water exclusion system around Bangkok. (I just scared myself writing this.) See the topic "Where is the best place to live in Thailand?", and then look for major land areas over 1000' in elevation on Google earth. I live up in there somewhere.

My prediction for 2010:

PR application for 2006 will finally be processed by the Interior Ministry.

I will still not be included in this select group.

A general election will be held only for the Dems to be trounced by a Thaksin proxy party. This will happen despite new election laws being introduced which require any member of a party that is not a Democrat being required to hop to their local polling station blindfolded whilst trying to balance a glass of water on their head singing "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep"

The Thaksin proxy party will then be disbanded for buying votes. Of course the Dems bought votes but it wasn't as widespread as Thaksin's party so that's alright then under Thai law. Oops. Bit of deja vu there. Just hope that if you ever murder somebody that the previous defendant facing the court killed more people than you. Going by the Thai interpretaiton of the law the judge might just let you off.

Another election is now called and seeing as Thaksin is running out of proxies enlists the help of the pop duo Four Mod to be party leaders.

After a Thaksin proxy once again winning the powers that be are getting desperate as to ways they can undermine a democratic election because Thaksin's not their bitch so introduce a new law leading to the disbanding of his proxy party for "Violating election law by wearing blue socks, walking on the cracks in the pavement and eating those really dodgy tasting microwave pizza from 7-11."
