The government can say anything it likes(freedom of speech, well for the government anyway) but this is the land of dreams and lies.

The sheer arrogance and contempt the junta have for the people is mind blowing...

For them to actually allow this complete and utter fabrication of the truth to be published with their blessing speaks volumes and none of it is good, I have a feeling this aint going to end well,,,

well if the same thing happens here as they engineering in China ...............I am out of here!

In the works for years, China’s ‘social credit system’ aims to create a docile, compliant citizenry who are fiscally and morally responsible by employing a game-like format to create self-imposed, group social control. In other words, China gamified peer pressure to control its citizenry; and, though the scheme hasn’t been fully implemented yet, it’s already working — insidiously well.

Question : "are you satisfied with the government or are you against the monarchy ?"

I hope the 1% killjoys have been duly arrested and reprimanded for lèse-majesté.

Was it a poll of the three people standing next to the "PM"?

In the real world you can get 25 percent of people to agree that the earth is flat.

They probably surveyed 4 people!

Yes, or maybe more.

It all depends on which 4 or more people and what were the questions.

Possible polling scenario: 5 old ladies from the Blind Institute were interviewed as they left the wat.

Q. May I ask you a question?.

A. Yes, ka.

Q. Are you blind?

A. Yes, ka.

Q. Have a nice day.

A. Ka.

Back at the office: Everyone said yes to all the questions.....Now...what are the questions?

It was a totally random, anonymous poll.........held at various military camps around Thailand. !!

OMG I have not had a good laugh in a long time

Not even a pure democracy like the United States gets a 99% approval rating And on top of that it is a GOVERNMENT POLL

If you believe this then I have some very very nice beach front property for sale in Florida

Which Thais did they survey. When, who under what circumstances, after a Happy Meal from McDonalds.

I wonder if Thais really believe this stuff

I am so sorrily disappointed in this governement enacted Poll because I know its not reality

They stopped the fighting and deaths. That has got to be a good thing.

It appears that they also cleaned up the police who failed to arrest a single culprit in the shooting deaths before the coup.

There is no reason to doubt these numbers. We have a govt. which is an example of honesty, democracy and freedom of speech. Besides the economic boom Thailand is experiencing thanks to it.

Must be Thai people from another country that I speak to.

But then I will poll myself now .......

Ahh, the results are in: surprise 100% of the people like me and think I am great

They stopped the fighting and deaths. That has got to be a good thing.

...Apart from the fighting in the south and the deaths in custody, that is. But hey, who cares about them, eh?

The remaining 1% are brave, foolish, have diplomatic immunity or live abroad.

And make F/B posts.

Don't they say that history repeats itself first as farce and then as tragedy. Is this the farce bit or the tragedy?

sounds like the votes they used to get in East Germany before the wall fell

Excellent job done considering the dire straits the country had gotten into! They would get the 100% thumbs up from me if they would reintroduce the curfew. The country needs a serious reset and the population has to realise that you don't get something for nothing and freedom for fee.

As longer I stay here I feel like Thailand is not just becoming a military but a Communism state.

Its sad really how one person can bring the country back to start from Zero.

The Embassies must have a good time sending all those cables back to their capitals that Thailand is becoming a Banana Republic.

Pure democracy Unites States - ha ha ha ha ROFLcheesy.gif

Ever wondered why Obama's approval rates are in the low forties at the most?

The China model is the preferred system for all Asian countries. Western Democracy does NOT work in developing countries. And now Western economies are faltering they are starting to feel that pinch as well...

I find it hard to believe that 99.3% of any group of people agree on any topic. Spin? You betcha.

Of course. Because in real life that never happens, not even close.
