Martial law to be strictly enforced

[Tim1980]

Who else need attitude adjustment? Even Ex.Ministers needed so what about rest of the Thais who don't behave? Oh yes but those acts don't annoy HE. General!

[enufsaid]

Me thinks thailand is going backwards in its thinking.

[robblok]

Seems logical enough to me.. there where there are many red thugs there is more chance of a curfew then places where these trouble makers are not.

Logic must be something you never studied. Seems real clear to me.

Logic to you perhaps but oppression/suppression to others ;-)

Please try to fault the logic of going after trouble spots and deploying your forces logically. You had experience with IRA did you have a curfew over the whole there or just he trouble-spots and do explain to me how that is different.

No curves was in palace during my times there in the 1980's in NI or the UK mainland as that's where the PIRA operated, now now Rob in response to your previous post, care to tell me how effective Martial Law has been in the Deep South assuming it was under martial law for the past 10 years? Because they are still suffering terrorist attacks and acts of terrorism?

I don't recall Bangkok beig the whole of Thailand either instead of martial law why isn't he going after that hardcore group as he already said befere he knew who they all were!!!

Oh typical, you can't say martial law was not effective as you don't know how many would have died without it in the South. So its a hollow question that can't be answered. Also the South already has its uprising while they are trying to prevent that in the other parts. So the situations are not comparable.

There has been a curfew used against the IRA and it was not used against the whole of th UK. Why.. logic. I wonder why you accept the logic back home but not here.. Must be the color of shirt you support.

You are forgetting one major important part of martial law.. and its not the curfew, its where it does not allow groups to protest (far more important as the curfew part). But I am sure you will close your eyes for this logic too.

He's looking more and more like the new leader of Egypt Sisi.

"report themselves" and "attitude adjustment" I've heard these terms before! as a member of the United States Military they are to familiiar from North Korea, Vietnam, china, Etc"

Erm, well how about the good ol' USA itself, where Bradley Manning now has 35 years of solitary contemplation of the joys of "attitude adjustment" --- a fate awaiting Edward Snowden if Nato ever get as far as Moscow.

What part did you not read that there was no curfew against anyone in NI during the 1980's through to the Good Friday agreement?

There was during the 1970's internment but that stopped pretty quick due to the backlash .

Why was there a group protesting outside the embassy yesterday and ML not enforced ?

Typical responses from you really Rob as you're another Junta kool aid drinker but that's up to you I respect your views and opinions as that's what bring a democrat is about

Martial law to be strictly enforced

we wouldn't expect anything less from you General. Good work ol' boy...

The wearing of Red Shirts on a Sunday to be looked at

That's going to piss off the sports bar managers & fake football shirt vendors when Arsenal Liverpool & Man Utd play most of their games on a Sunday in the indochina time zone

Only applies if they're at home. Otherwise Arse and Scouse are in yellow and Man U in whatever colour they can find in the local markets....

the language that the general uses sounds very similar to camboda during the khymer rouge period and vietnam after the americans high tailed it out of the country."reporting to have one's attitude changed".......i find this disturbing,indeed as another poster remarked "time to keep the luggage packed and ready to go at a minutes notice"

[jaywalker]

"Report of an attempt to hold campaign to encourage the public to wear red shirts every Sunday". Where did this come from...???..???.. Who in their right mind would wear RED shirts in Bangkok?

These guys?

[johnmcc6]

The most called upon attitude adjusters in Australia are Bullant Sims and Iron bar Kelly. Hope they haven't applied for a visa???

[poweratradio]

"In addition, he stated that individuals who have made public dissenting comments will be asked to report themselves."

Well now, that should work rather well and be extremely effective, I would think.

Is saying we are looking like another Egypt in the making a dissenting remark or is suggesting the population may react like the dissenting Egyptians did.

Should I turn myself in for some slashings???? .

[BudRight]

How do I report Suradit?

[off road pat]

I feel that the time has come to keep the travel luggage at hand.

If you feel like that, nobody is here to stop you.

I'm staying here and I fully trust that this government will change Thailand for the better.

I to, think that Thailand is changing for the better.

It will not be a easy short-time job, as the powers that don't want any change are enormous. And have plenty of financial resources, amassed in the years they were in power and could just take anything they wanted without any supervision or control......this is the so called Democracy they want back...!

[Greenpeiper]

"Report of an attempt to hold campaign to encourage the public to wear red shirts every Sunday". Where did this come from...???..???.. Who in their right mind would wear RED shirts in Bangkok?

All the Man Utd and Liverpool supporters....lol.......or a re they all turning Blue now ????

[manarak]

Of course the reds are upping the pressure, they want to be ready when the power grabbing race will be opened again.

The more unstable the country is, the more chances the reds will have when the day comes.

You have no idea of what you're talking about,....It was the Vietnamese that kicked out the Khmer Rouge. and thanks to the USA the Khmer rouge had a seat in the united nations representing the very people they killed....

So I was correct that there was a curfew and only on the location that mattered not the whole UK. So that is exactly the same as here, only difference is that here it stayed longer. So gone that argument. Its normal the world over to target the places where it is needed instead of a blanket one.

I have no idea why they did not enforce it outside the embassy probably because these protesters did not have a reputation for violence. I would also selectively enforce ML, I would put less pressure on those that are not dangerous compared to groups that are known to have had access to military grade weapons.

Many of the red supporters maybe you are one of them can't wait for a civil war and bloodshed. I for one prefer a junta over the bloodshed from before.

[Jungle Jim]

I guess civil war is a better option ? Total out of control corruption is a better option ? Are some afraid here that perhaps the government might start cracking down on very questionable out of control foreigners ? Or some do not have the proper visas ? Foreign criminals hiding in Thailand worried ?

Don't talk nonsense.

Thailand was at the brink of civil war - courtesy of corrupt politicians on both sides.

Now Thailand is at peace. Well boo-hoo if Surapong can't put his spoon in the sh!t again.

Total BS, Thailand was nowhere near a civil war. The disturbances could have been quelled and elections held without a military coup, but then Prayuth wouldn't be in charge, and he wants to be in charge for reasons that have nothing to do with democracy or corruption.

Please report for attitude readjustment at your earliest convenience......

[kannot]

Phew.....thought it said "marital" law.............ok same old same old.....I do love the words "attitude adjustment" this means "do what i say" or you will be taking a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong holiday as in "forever"

Australian Dept of Foreign Affairs 30-01-2015

Current Advice Level: "High degree of caution"
Change Summary:
Local authorities may demand urine samples from individuals suspected of taking illegal drugs (see under Laws) and the Australian consulate in Phuket has reopened (see under Where to get help). The level of advice has not changed. We continue to advise Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in Thailand overall due to the possibility of civil unrest and the threat of terrorist attack, including Bangkok and Phuket. Martial law continues to be imposed nationwide. We continue to strongly advise Australians against travel to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla due to high levels of ongoing violence in these areas.

[John1thru10]

Given their paranoia and fear of social media, as well as an alleged bias against foreigners, plus the fact those upstairs have clearly reacted to comments on the Internet by foreigners recently, some people here might want to be careful what they say... and over all would it be much of a surprise if one of 'them' noticed a lot of anti-government sentiment on TVF?

Don't get complaisant gentlemen, anything could happen right now or you're being naive.

You really enjoy shaming others, right? You do it constantly.

I applaud your optimism, but 19 coups later we still seem to be in a 'back to the future' loop.

In point of fact, what military coup has ever improved things? Egypt, Haiti, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria...and dare I mention it Greece?

I'm not interested about military coups in other countries, not even Greece

I'm only interested in Thailand and I believe that nothing better could have happen for them than this government.
