Approximately up to 1000 people demonstrated in Nathon today and word is that they plan to march around the island.

So parliament is dissolved, we have another election, the government inevitably win by another landslide....back to square one. And so it continues

BTW, does anyone know when the remaining stretch of road between Bophut and Nathon will be resurfaced?

Not too sure if this time there will be another election, from a democratically point of view, the right way to go but 'TIT' and such, anything can happen. This time around it's not as clear cut but whatever the result will be, most likely it will be at square one.

The politicians and the electorate here are a fine example of the blind being led by the partially sighted.

About 20 taxis sporting the Thai flag in convoy in Laem Din just now blowing horns, flashing lights.

Tried to tell them not many tourists around here looking for cabs, but did they care?

One has to wonder if it even makes any difference to Samui who is in power. The island is a law unto itself anyway.

What a blindingly great idea for an Island largely dependent on tourism.

Classic!

They had to go ahead with there protest's as they had already purchased there whistle's. It was just noise pollution opposite the post office in Nathon his morning. Plus all the stupid taxi drivers parking both side's of the road and making it a 1 way road

Caused a right jam up of traffic, through Maenam around 1 pm... not marching they were all in trucks and what ever waving their flags and blowing there whistles....

It was worse than the usual rush hour traffic!
