chiangmaikelly Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Why does anyone care about this? The Thais on my street are drunk every day, every night. They only care if they dislike the person who is drunk. Oh, everybody loves a drunk. Few respect one. "I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly." “Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink." "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it." Exchange between Lady Astor and Winston Churchill Churchill drank a bit too much methinks. Hitler did not. Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil war said, "Find out what whiskey he drinks and send all of my generals a case, if it will get the same results". - in reply to comments about General Grant's drinking problems Edited January 12, 2013 by chiangmaikelly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunken Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Doesn't this story belong in the 'I drink too much' forum? This would a big joke if the person involved wasn't such a nasty piece of work who 'reared' several more chips of the old block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) If he got drunk in a private party what is the problem.. if he got drunk while preforming work.. yes that would be a problem. He got drunk talking to Malaysian officials on a visit to solve the crisis in the South. Take a look at the photo, the red carpet farewell is not a couple of muckers getting pissed in private is it? This expanded shot more clearly shows the setting and context of his slobbering behavior during a crucial talks conference involving visiting state dignitarie TNews (Thai) http://www.tnews.co....ml#.UPEVt5gm-So "Do you mind, me and my friend here, are in negoshiashons."

fstarbkk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have read several pages of this thread and found the usual PTP/red apologists conspicuously absent. Why don't they stand by their man? It would be encouraging to think that even they are capable of embarrassment form the buffoonery among their ranks. Alas, if that were the case, they would have to live in perpetual embarrassment from most of the current regime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still to come across a drunk who admits that he is drunk!!! perhaps he should have taken a blood test.... Keep the bottoms up Chalerm.... dont loiter the streets.!

Markaew Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Why does anyone care about this? The Thais on my street are drunk every day, every night. Perhaps because the Thais on your street aren't elected politicians and dont go on official overseas visits to meet with foreign leaders and are not responsible for decisions that affect the country in any way shape or form. However perhaps the fact that you cant distinguish between Charlem and the working class pissheads on your street means you may actually have some grasp on the sad reality of the situation... You are comparing politicians from outside Thailand (or ideally so) to politicians from within Thailand. This guy is no different from the people on my street. That is the point I am making. Does any Thai take anything serious? And no. I can't tell the difference from the pissheads on my street and this guy BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE! Expecting a Thai politician to do something responsible is the absolute definition of FUTILE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Has anyone ever met anyone who admitted being drunk? Yes I have. And anyone who drinks alcohol and pretending it's not because they want to get drunk, tipsy, intoxicated are just lying. The whole point with alcohol or any other drug, is to alter your brain.

Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted January 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2013 Chalerm is a fool riding a wave of power and self determined invincibility. I see in the future that he will take a very hard fall. I don't condemn any man for going out and getting drunk with his 'friends' if that's what they want to do, hell, i'll join them, but if you can't hold back for 72 hours whilst you are on a crucial peace seeking mission, where peoples lives literally depend on the outcome, how much respect are you displaying for your common man. I would say the common man who voted him into power, but thats the problem, they didn't vote him in to power. Being a drunk in a particular police training class got him friends with someone who just dished him out a party seat. the good news for Thai politics now is that the only way is up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stevens Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Maybe he had a reoccurrence of his ear problem. This man is a liability; however, with his influence and power, he is - at present - untouchable and unaccountable. What hope is there for Thailand when arrogance, sakdina, greng jai, nepotism and cronyism remain the order of the day? What hope for the future? What hope? thats so very true ... but lets face it there is no really answer to thailands problems ..... its the way things are here and have been allowed for the last 60 years or more ...... it will only change when ..............................

GentlemanJim Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) The worst of it is: On the news where the journo's are asking Chalerm to explain what happened, he is saying 'he got drunk after the meeting, I (as in Chalerm) don't see what's wrong with that'!!!!!!! He has no freakin idea that what he did was perhaps inappropriate or even outrageous considering the gravity of his visit. DOH!!

Popular Post looping Posted January 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think he did a great job of representing the Thai govt: 1. he clearly doesn't give a shit about any serious issues, 2. has a total lack of respect for anyone outside his inner circle, 3. he shows himself to be an incompetent fool who is absolutely unqualified for his job, 4. he travels on a downward spiral of self destruction. In my opinion he represents the Thai govt (and what they stand for) very nicely 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted January 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2013 so the man got pissed with friends. sounds like what i did last night. he is accountable for far worse When you got pissed with your friends last night were there Foreign Ministers and Diplomats waiting to say goodbye to you after you got shedded? Were you there for the sole purpose of agreeing a strategy to help stop the senseless killing of women, children and men every single day of the year? If he was so desperate to get pissed with his mates, I am pretty sure all of them could have agreed to meet up somewhere and simply get pissed. No ministers, no diplomats etc, in fact just like you did last night. It's not as if he isn't short of a dollar or two is it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
