ggold Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Surely that is two errors! she is not president either, can't even call her Prime Minister she is so obviously a puppet! Perhaps the "President" thing is a reference to her brother's alleged republican aspirations. The implications of that in a country with a monarchy as head of state, well one wonders!

nowork114 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm just wondering if anyone will be charged with lèse majesté...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 For many a year it's been suggested big brother fancies the title ' President ', for himself of course. Of course, he wants to be the Sun Yat-sen of Thailand Didn't Dr. SUN also have the title Generalissimo ? Good God, Generalissimo and President for Life, Dr. Pol Lt. Col. Thaksin. !

cocopops Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The canvas sign, which aimed to show the Prime Minister support, contained one misspelling, making it the “Uneducate people” of 2014. I can't figure out if this is meant as irony or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokemachine Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm sure these good ladies, all loyal Thais, had no idea that the title ' President ' implies a republic. Why did they not just stick to Thai ? YL isn't exactly the best English speaker around, forget her degree from Kentucky State which may be ' iffy ' to say the least. They have chosen a change of head of state. What to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Surely that is two errors! she is not president either, can't even call her Prime Minister she is so obviously a puppet!

Skywalker69 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 An obvious attempt to denigrate the Prime Minister. "Yingluck's warm welcome goes wrong"...But a warm welcome it was indeed. No-one should make the mistake of underestimating her and the huge electoral respect she commands. PAD-Dem's are not trying to nullify elections for nothing. Denigration like that only plays in PAD-Dem circles, and they make the mistake of believing it....But on the other hand, being very afraid of elections, including the current one. Ridiculing someone who kicks ass in elections is unbecoming....It has the aura of grasping at straws. The UDD/RS also like to ridicule the PAD-Dem's for their blanket denigration of their political opposites as being 'uneducated'...The pro-electoral democrats wear it as a badge of honor....They can afford to do that is those who make such statements are on the political outside, looking in....They are the foolish ones, especially when they cannot grasp the difference between education and being 'politicized'.

Dumu Ali Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 it is very very very difficult to make such mistakes other than deliberate 1) Most Thais are not so stupid to know Prime Minister and President are not the same 2) For fighting wrong spelling is by remove letters to be fiting or fihgting and most Thais really know this If she were smart she would spot the mistakes and say something it Me thinx that these women wanted to hide a message saying we are forbidden and shamed for exposing the devil directly so let us do it indirectly because we do not want our grandchildren to be hunted under this new regime of serial child killers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually checked on Google translate with a Thai chick typing to see and the translations were 100% OK and Google proved professional and so I still smell something. Coconuts has brought amazing scoops and insights and such media is indeed a refreshing change to the mainstream and I really think it is very good reporting as I found the coconuts story to be an eye-opener much more interesting than CNN and BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
