[Oscar2]

unbelievable bunch of losers on this site

Shocking so many people can be so stupid

can you elaborate? i tend to agree but don't see it in this thread.

This is disgraceful. The shiniwatra's are not the originators of corruption in thailand. It always was and still is even down to the education system and government funcionaries. Those of you that are crowing over 'the demise of the shin clan' are misogynist to the core just like the establishment in Thailand. She may have made mistakes but that is not the point. She was no worse a premier than any others and she was democratically elected all other arguments are academic. Why are Suthep and other's charged like him not in custody? the answers clear. Corruption!

what is a disgrace is the way Taksin his clan and cronies have bleed Thailand dry I hope they keep her locked up and all other Shins for years. This time unlike 2006 the army has learnt a lot and unlike 2006 its all very well planned and executed. Well done and hopefully at last well rid ourselves of cancer which is taksin.

GO on red shirt lovers touch titty whatever you think

Remember how this started with trying to get amnesty for your hero Taksin so government has only themselves to blame.

Rice scam, 1 tablet scam, car policy which was for rich (everyone we know who took it were quite rich), 2 trillion or whatever

Liars thieves and if it ends with some red shirt thugs trying to cause trouble well so be it.

People have had enough of your hero and i don't care how many brainwashed sheep in Issan worship Taksin. IF it takes army to stop Taksin so be it.

Finally well done Suphet without you Thialand would be well on its way to a one party Taksin state

Internationally, the detention of Yingluck will be a Public Relations disaster for the Generals.

Domestically, she is still popular in the provinces, and this will only lead to inflame her supporters.

She has been illegally detained by an illegal authority, acting illegally and in breach of the Constitution.

Detained by power seekers intent on removing a legally established and validated government.

And the nutters on here approve...

It would appear that on ThaiVisa, hatred of Yingluck supersedes respect for rule of law and common sense.

Pathetic.

The anti coup demos will grow apace over the next few days and the violence will begin.

This is a very sad time for Thailand.

[WhizBang]

A disgrace and a very poor reflection on Thailand..

Absolutely agree. The Shinawatra clan and the PTP are indeed a disgrace.

[djjamie]

Yet Suthep is free.

Yes he is, the only one responsible for this whole matter is free, because the general was always on his side !

Now the General is tearing the economic further down , but nobody cares.... TIT.

So, let's suppose for a moment that Suthep would still be detained, would you change your view that Prayuth is on his side?

Can I second that?

Mind numbing. One day in and they shoot themselves in the foot in respect of promoting reconciliation by being malicious and vindictive. Can it get ant more stupid?

Pay attention . The days of reconciliation and politely asking the parties to agree

are over. It is now hammer time, and we are seeing the results...

....of the 2006 coup.

Nutters on here?…Some more demonizing I see. The language of the inarticulate which is a red shirt trait.

The PTP breached the constitution during their tenure, but that will be ignored because they support 1 principle of democracy.

The PTP denounce the constitution when it doesn't suit them and defend it when it does.

So what is it? A good constitution voted for by the majority or an evil one where people were forced to vote for it even though the results reflected the opposite of the PTP election victory in 2011 ergo up to 90% of the northerners voted AGINST it.

Depends on the agenda right.

That is PTP logic right there.

Respect for rule of law? Your having a go right? Respect it until it does not suit you then try to pass an amnesty to bypass the rule of law...

3-7 days

not long enough

it says at least 3-7 days

Huge International embarassment, but despite all you read about how the Thais like to save face, and the way they smile during confrontations or after a car accident, the military does NOT care what other countries or people think. They took over in 2006, have been in control since 2006 and are re-affirming that now. Toss out a constitution, ignore any existing laws, arrest or detain anybody at anytime for any reason. Disgusted to continually see this in a country full of so many good people

All that I have read from the General nothing has been said about reconciliation ( could have missed it) just that they want to restore peace and order. I believe the General realizes reconciliation with the ousted government was just a buzz word for Big T amnesty. Good luck putting old washed out PTP slogans in the generals mouth.

If you go back and take a good look at the 2006 coup as well as this one there really wasn't a functioning government.

[HeavyDrinker]

Will the squareheaded criminal act to save his sister from taking his rap or will he carry on his gutless rat act?

[moe666]

These folks who keep claiming Suthep is free are they not breaking forum rules by posting untrue information

[northernjohn]

Where is Chalerm? Second day of cold turkey now.

I saw a report that said he was being watched by soldiers. Hope they don't try to smuggle in ear medicine. Be funny to watch him go through withdrawals.

Apparently you have not been following the situation here in Thailand. This was all started by the good people you talk about. They asked for the Government to respect their wishes and stop using all their effort towards white washing Thaksin. The government refused to listen to the good people. From there the good people started asking for an end to corruption. The government refused to listen to them and never once tried to clean up their act. Instead they called on their militant military red shirts to come in and cause disturbances by killing people and intimidating them then suggestion the country be separated.

When the General stepped in they flat out refused to do any thing about the mess they had made. So the General did it for them. A shame when you have a government that will not listen to the people and robs them blind.

Lucky for Thailand they have a General with integrity who wants the best for Thailand and gave them a chance before taking up the reins of power him self.

Prayuth has been quick to give a time frame for the detentions. He is seeking a way to appease disparate factions by locking their leaders up in a room together away from advisors and other influences in the hope of hammering out a power sharing deal. His curtailment of elections on the one hand and the refusal to let senators try to appoint a PM on the other suggests a desire to not let any faction carry the day on its own.

Look at it like the mother of all team-building exercises. If he is successful, there will be peace at least for a while and this episode will become an international case study in conflict resolution. If he fails - which means some participants will have remained intransigent under the imposed environment - the consequences will probably include violence on the streets. The stakes are high, but at least for now there is a chance which arguably there wasn't prior to this coup.

As for democracy, it is a prize these people haven't appeared to earn yet.

There seem to be several posts on the news forum from young Westerners "looking for a fight". Well guys let me tell you this is not the States or Europe. Stay well away from all conflict and demonstrations. There's plenty of Thais out there that will stick you like a pig whoever you are supporting. You don't speak Thai you don't understand what's going on. Just stay away like the rest of us BOF's do.

"Ms. Yingluck's aides were told in the evening to prepare personal belongings for the former leader, the source said."

Her aides will call the army when they have prepared everything and ask for a truck to transport all the luggage... u can imagine how many different clothes, shoes, bags etc etc she will need for a full week....

sexist trash

It's already a PR disaster abroad , wgaf about that, here I'm not so sure, so going the whole hog, stay low I say.

I can't believe you don't realise how much the Western leaders know about YS, Thaksin & the PTP criminals and that they are all privately cheering the Thai Army like most of the Thai people I have spoken to are

false

a disgrace...

You bet it is3 to 7 days!!!

I was hoping for 3 to 7 years.

I love the photo though. The caption could be the General saying "This will be were you will be detained for destroying Thailand"

Ohhhh accountability. The PTP's nightmare.

I bet she wished she didn't hold the majority in contempt when she pushed the amnesty bill through now against the will of the majority.

A disgrace is an understatement. She should at least hold her until the NACC rice scheme case is heard then she can't run away when she is found guilty and can go straight to jail.

Bare-faced hypocrisy from someone who goes on forever, endlessly about the principles of democracy and appropriate process ( but apparently only believes it when it's convenient)

yet you do not know the very principles the PTP abused and why the General had to take these steps he did.

There are more than elections….Can you name them?

and yet how can you have democracy without elections?

Out of curiosity. What are these other principles of democracy that you keep speaking of? I could guess but better to hear from you.

So your solution to abuses of democracy is a military coup....says it all

So can you name them? You state the PTP adhere to democracy. SO what are the principles they adhere too?

I have been asking for 6 months yet not one of you can name them and as you did above ignore it and belittle me which is a UDD trait.

Come on. Name the principles they adhere too then?

why dunt you tell and give your source?

They are listed on about 30 threads on this site alone and have been the subject of discussion for months. Would you like a link.? I'm more interested in how you, as an advocate of the principles, support a military coup and the detention of the leader of an unelected govt on the basis that the military " had to act". Which of the principles offers that justification or is that your own version?

just like the corrupt courts, they make this stuff up as they go depending on who they favor.

I agree and yes, guess? You defend the PTP I assume so why defend them. What principles of democracy do you adhere too? Why defend the PTP? Why do you need to guess? Don't you know what they are?

Why is this 6 months and 2 days and yet all I hear is you tell me? You look it up? I have the links and can send them? I am not bothered repeating them? Not one person can tell me from the PTP side. Not one. Why? The excuses are faster and harder than yinglucks defense for the failed rice scheme...

The only characteristic of democracy the PTP adhered to is the ballot box and they have proven twice in the last 3 years they abuse that principle too. Voter fraud….Twice….Even when they had the majority!!! Why? Laziness? Contempt? Yet they are still defended as being democratic!!! Why?

Characteristics such as majority rule and individual rights. PTP fail.

Equal protection under law for all. PTP fail.

Committed to tolerance and compromise. PTP fail.

Freedom of speech. I hear silence. Pun intended.

But there was an election. So the above is irrelevant apparently.

​Elections are a gateway tool for a party that win the election to practice democracy. Elections ARE NOT a ticket to allow the government to ignore the other principles of democracy.

Democracy begins post ballot box..It does not cease post ballot box.
