Poll reveals Prayuth government should stay over a year for sake of peace

[heybruce]

So far, so good General Prayuth, Sir. You had to do what you had to do to pull The Kingdom back from the Abyss. Out side of some gaffes, I think he is the right man at the right time for Thailand. Although I am a Foreigner that works and resides here (American with Work Permit and Tabien Baan) I am still a guest here as are all non-Thai nationals. However, what affects the Kingdom's internal affairs has a direct effect on my business affairs externally. I am glad General and now Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is steering the ship of state as it has brought stability back to The Kingdom in the eyes of the Global Community. IMHO.

Well said.

Lets hope Mr P get's heavy handed and makes an example of the corrupt and colluded rabble that have plagued Thailand for way too long now.

Yeah, nothing like a rule-by-decree dictatorship to set things right. I wonder why all countries don't have one. There is that hypothetical problem of how to remove the dictator if things go bad, but when has a dictatorship ever gone bad?

why get rid of him. Keep him forever. Everyone will learn to love him. Some day they may even demand those building-sized posters of dear leader that he currently shuns.

I say to heck with the people and their democracy - keep the big boss.

oh wait, that's the plan anyway, whew, I was so worried for a moment...

Yes, good point gents....Lets hope that his next decree states that all FARUNG suspected (no evidence required)of supporting the Thaksin backed corruption, criminal gangs (red shirts etc...) and proxy stooges. to be rounded up and deported and banned from entering the kingdom for ever.

Of course any farang who speaks out for democracy or against dictatorship is clearly a Thaksin supporter.

I recall a falang being on trial now.

Not as a Thaksin support, but for just trying to do the right thing.

In the first place, Gen Prayuth should not and should never be the broker for talks. Like Al Capone holding a base ball bat and circling the participants. The conclusion was never in doubt and the short 4-5 hours evident that what followed the breakdown of the talk was crafted.In the first place, Gen Prayuth should not and should never be the broker for talks.

The previous government has gone beyond its limit by dissolving Parliment. Rest was staged as Rubi rumored. by dissolving Parliment. Rest was staged as Rubi rumored.

The only bit that I agree with is this - ..................." The previous government has gone beyond its limit"................................

I think it was don Corleone that circled the group with a base ball bat and that was just a movie.

In reality the good general needs to make people disappear, to fix this countries wows.

I cannot see the good General taking a baseball bat to a meeting, and I think the plan is to make it as hard as possible for "certain" people to keep operating in their usual criminal manner in Thailand and force them to run away to another country.

A-la the crim who fled to the desert.....................into self exile !

The "good general" doesn't take baseball bats to a meeting, he just surrounds the building with soldiers ready to take people away for "attitude adjustment" in incommunicado military detention if they don't agree to an ultimatum.

BTW I love how you "liked" a post that shows clear support for people "disappearing". It says more about your side than anything I could write even we had free speech.

Right, everybody is either pro-Prayuth or pro-Thaksin. There is no one else; no possibility of people supporting democracy on principle or opposing dictatorship because of its appalling historical record.

Do you actually believe this?

[whaddya]

When asked how long they wanted the Prayuth government stays in power, the majority of the people asked or 66.4% said they wanted to see the Prayuth government in office until peace has been restored and all problems have been resolved which may take longer than a year to achieve.

Sounds good to me as well as the majority of Thais.

"Your side"?? I'm not sure you want to be tarred with some of the comments of posters from "your side".

Im UK citizen and have been living here 10yrs, have Tabien Baan myself, but hey, 10yrs is a long time to be a guest !

Would you say that the (approx) three million thais that live abroad consider themselves as just guests, don't think so somehow.

A vast majority of them are fully pledged citizens, second third generation have UK passports as do the ones living in the States , Aus, etc.

I agree with you up to the point where you state a vast majority of Thai's living overseas are fully pledged citizens. I am not a fully pledged citizen of Thailand. FYI, the greatest amount of Thai's who choose to live overseas are located in a section of Hollywood, California officially designated as "Thai Town". I guess that's the point I was inferring to. Yes, we are both similar in our backgrounds regarding our stay Thailand. I'm not sure about you, but I myself also have been a Partner in 3 Thai Registered companies and have employed Thai's in all of them. I feel more connected to Thailand than the USA and consider Bangkok my Home Town so I don"t feel like a "Guest". However, until and/or if I wish to attain Permanent Residency in the Kingdom what legal term other than "Guest" can I use to legally describe my stay here? Or for that matter, how do other non-nationals living in the Kingdom self describe their status here? I am not being facetious about this, but think of another term that I can use to describe my stay here and I'll consider using it.
