transam Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I guess you are mixing up the goverment's official ceremonial uniform with a military one What about Prince Charles in the UK? Has many medals on his chest, what a joke, medals for being born rich. Lets not forget that many Royals have and still are serving in the military. Even Charles did his bit. As for ceremonial medal wearing, I don't know, but I do know that in resent history Louis, Philip, Charles, Andrew, Edward, William and Harry did their bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Interesting that the Thai's gave a victory medal in World War 2. Since the Thais were part of the Axis powers who lost I am wondering who would get the medal. These are a list of medals/honors (6) for Yingluck including The Boyscout Citation Medal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yingluck_Shinawatra#Royal_decorations These are some recipients of the Victory Metal (not all WW2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Recipients_of_the_Victory_Medal_%28Thailand%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has many medals on his chest, what a joke, medals for being born rich. Totally agree. I suppose at least the major royals have all done a stint in the army, including prince Edward who ran away from the commandos . It's all a chest beating exercise and I suppose psychologically the masses get a kick out of seeing the 'leaders' in uniform ...maybe it enhances their mien. Prince Philip and his Machiavellian uncle Louis Mountbatten loved a nice uniform . I think Louis got a medal for being a very stoic cuckhold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaroni man Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The OP must understand that Thailand is much like the UK in its vigor for pomp and it pompertisity, they love to dress up on uniforms. All government officials including medical staff that are working for the govt have a dress uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It looks like the guy and the son both have the same two-levels of bars on their chests, while YL appears to have those same two levels plus a third.... It certainly would be interesting to know what the different colors of bars are supposed to represent. May take some time to go through all the offerings - List of orders and medals of Thailand thanks for that but I couldnt find the one for "so full of shit "or for "burning down bangkok", thought all ptp members had those 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In America, it's actually against the law to don a military uniform unless you're serving on active duty. Everywhere else, I have no idea. So to the OP, I'm sure your home country has rules and regs related to military service and the uniform. But in the rest of the world, it doesn't apply.

Robininbkk Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 These medals comes with the uniforms, it's standard from the factory and custom made by the retailer. Anyhow, Thai ladies, actually Asian ladies in general looks very sexy in uniform. I don't know why, I think because of their slim figures and facial features.

Did you not see the link posted by HooHaa? Never mind, her's another one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Prince_of_Wales#Military_training_and_career I have met with people who served with Prince Charles and that all say the same thing, he did not ask for any special treatment and was a bloody good officer. In fact, one of the thing that he hated was being pulled away from serving to attend ceremonies. If you are going to question the Royals contribution to the military, you should do some research and not believe the propaganda that your country has pumped out for so long.

GinBoy2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I wanna get back to YL in uniform. That gal probably looks good in anything (sexy nurse comes mind). Now sorry but the idea of Charles in a sexy nurse uniform is terrifying, although could be worse....Camilla!

MrWorldwide Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I guess you are mixing up the goverment's official ceremonial uniform with a military one Yup - some folk simply dont get it. I dont even live in Thailand, yet I know the difference between the Thai navy whites and those worn by officials. Of course, like many on ThaiVisa, I have had extensive Special Forces experience Those who want to see military men who give themselves medals for attendance (!) need look no further than the Indonesian and PI military - it's embarrassing.

Unless you have some undeniable proof that she is intelligent...but we are armed to the teeth with evidence she is not. Thank you 3 times. Well that stupid lady as you put it is sitting 'stupidly' at 31 on the Forbes list of power women, last year she was at 30. No matter which way you look at it she is the top lady in a male predominant run country of over 65 million... You go girl! She is very very rich, highly educated, has a truck load of very influencial connections, fluent in more than 1 language, and if you listen to her talk, very quick witted and adored by the majority in her home country. Looks like winning to me. Not sure what you have accomplished in life, but she trumps me and no doubt everyone on this forum so if she's so stupid, what are we? Now regardless if you and I agree with her political agenda, not that it really really matters cause I'm not Thai, and your probably not Thai (apologies if you are ), but this is absolute undeniable proof she is a very successful, highly intelligent, and not a bad looking Prime Minister of Thailand. No need to thank me 3 times...Just sayn' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that last couple of sentences was for the OP. If that's going to be your attitude, then screw you and the horse you rode in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
