I wonder which one will get the vote!!! ? I just wonder how many people your neighbour has bragged to about taking money from both camps and how long it will take for the Thai jungle telegraph to deliver the news to both candidates..

williamrobson Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So it seem the current mayor has been re elected. Let's hope he doesn't get too complacent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manfrommanteo Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My wife just got 3000 reasons to go vote. Mine only got 2400 reasons to vote. Hmm...... The organizer took 500 in commission from my wife. Yours probably took 600. She got another 3000 reasons today, giving her 5400 total reasons to vote.....

AlfGarnett Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 They both look like Joe Bugner. I couldn't decide. So I got drunk and decided. Bars are open tomorrow. Will think about it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehaigh Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 If all the bars are closed 22 /23..... Someone forgot to include Bangrak. Just drove through and 80 per cent are open. And just bought a 6 pack in Tesco Express without even a mild drama. So the world didn't end yesterday and I can get beer in an election. All good. It gets better...some paid my wife 3000 to vote, and she isn't even registered. ( just moved and they thought she was the previous occupant.) given the morality of the payment she felt obliged to accept without a word. sounds like santa came to samui early this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbos Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I wonder how Ms.Thanomsri Rattanarak is going to recoup her losses. considering that there apparently already are substantial loans at banks. An interesting situation. Looking at the amounts mentioned here, she must be in the red for a couple of Million baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Oh no!!.... the bars will be closed again.... But judging by the number of bars I drove by last night Banrak and back to Maenam, it would not make a difference, many were empty anyway...

oldsailor35 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My wife just got 3000 reasons to go vote. This is in Ban Thai my wife just received 4000 to vote for no1 there is someone else coming this afternoon with a promise of 2000 to vote for the other so I told her to take all the money. And people wonder why there is corruption... It's people like you and your wife who encourage politicians to steal. For every 1000 baht handout, 2000 baht is taken back from the people. And you are allowing it. Thank you for stealing my, and other Samuians money! Next time I blow a tyre in a pothole, I will send you the bill for a new one. OMG ! and the Dems claim that its only the Redshirts who do this.........what bloody hypocrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I hope this election is going to be nullified because of vote buying. Then everyone can have another go at the handouts. Again and again gets nullified until some poor man wins. Yes I agree with that. I've during the last 3 weeks learnt about agents and recruiters, seen extended family members checking their name lists against voting lengths and getting paid a red one for each undecided voter they are being able to list. I don't think it is the major (sic) candidates funding all of it, each tamboon elects 2 candidates to work with the new mayor so they are likely the ones shopping for votes. Extended family got very upset a few days ago when the fat cow team upped the ante.. look buying votes is a world wide epidemic how much money was spent on the USA elections ????? and we have to put up with total media cover for 6 bloody months corruption is world wide but at least thailand is open about it YES ! but here its at an individual level. Cash straight into personal pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
