68 million people readily agree with

This is an incredibly large survey you carried out, how long did it take you?

11 years of interacting with Thais across the entire length and complete breadth of Thailand, but such extensive travels and communications are hardly necessary.

Any novice in Thailand for 11 hours could conclude the same that the people have a deep reverence. The quote is hardly a bold or challengeable statement; it simply reflects the reality.

If you still can't see the crux of the biscuit, the paucity of cases is another indicator.

A small handful out of tens of millions of people.

It's not like Prohibition in 1920's USA, when millions disagreed with a law and purposely broke it and campaigned for it to change until it did get changed.

Ubon Ratchathani MCOT Radio Station Bombed

UPDATE : 12 July 2010

A bomb attack on an MCOT radio station in Ubon Ratchathani has spurred a hunt for its perpetrators with speculation the incident was carried out to incite chaos.

Police and bomb experts traveled to the scene of an explosion in front of Ubon Ratchathani province's 107 megahertz MCOT radio station on Thepyothi Road this morning to investigate the incident.

Initial inspection has found that the explosive was created using gun powder connected to a mobile-phone detonation mechanism.

Head of the MCOT station, Pongsak Thiemsri, elaborated that the blast went off last night at approximately 9 P.M. No injuries were reported from the attack.

The station chief believes the incident was carried out to instigate chaos, seeing no other reasons for attacking the facility.

Interim governor of Ubon Ratchathani, Wichit Chartpaisit, stated that the explosive used in the attack was not of a highly destructive nature, echoing belief that the bombing was only to stir fear and confusion among residents.

Authorities are currently hunting for the bombers.

They should STOP being an OPEN & SHUT country. There are only 2 ways to save Thailand from the immenent break up it is headed for.

A. Create a 'properly' formed, Canadian style, Royal Commission to examine the Joseph Plan, with a 3 month, NOT 3 year mandate to TRANSconciliate the Kingdom of Thailand.

B. Call in Burmese and North Korean advisors who are probably laughing at Thailand's feeble attempts at State control. THEY know how to do it.

[Am I still the only predicting 3 or 4 countries?]

Funny thing, last year, every time I predicted the huge upcoming red riots, published record, {'red and yellow trains about to crash' 'the water is off the beach, the tsunami is coming'} there were always a 1/2 dozen uneducted Flamers.

This time nobody is disputing that the tremors have been felt and the big earthquake is around the corner, to be triggered by elections and/or other occurences, like the fall military reshuffling, as only one more example.

When it does happen, watch all of the one eyed 'experts' say they knew it all along.

The Joseph Solution, military rule, complete break up; those are the only possibilities.

3 year, gravy train, DEconcililiation committees will NOT work!

============================

The Committee I want to form would have The Kingdom of Thailand surging towards G30 Nation status before the paper in the wind reports of the partisan Government bag jobs get written.

Come on Mute Majority - WAKE UP! and run the red and yellow mobsters into prison where they all belong. They have enough new Mercedez to last 10 life times. Why don't they let the reds and yellows settle who gets the pig trough with a yacht race, for Vishnu's sake!?

Abhishit is getting bolder by the day....he is running the country like his own..

Probably thinks it is...

With the support of his dodgy boy scouts and the ones we dont discuss he is behaving exactly as expected...normal aftermath of a 3rd world country with a "gov" developed from a mini grunt coup......Supprised..... ...why?...que sera sera ....but 1 day..... mia lai de pou....

Please please.

Abhisit is still the smart kind handsome gentle loving man he was.

He has not changed, and never will.

That's why Elite Bangkok Upper Class people still love him. Especially the female.
