Golly, how unexpected!

 

I guess by voting for him you are excudes PE classes then!

Dusit Poll.    wow what a shock

I suppose they didnt allow Thaksin votes or were they just excluded ?

When Kim runs these things he garners 100% 

I don't believe in these polls. Propaganda and cult of personality only.

Just being talked about the most doesn't mean that person should be man of the year.

does if  he  says it does

Thanks so much for the year end laugh Dusit Poop.

In a land where people are too afraid to think, let alone express their thoughts freely on society values and their future, anything is possible.

an annual occurrence from now on, I'm sure.

 

A post with a link to an article which could be deemed subversive has been removed, sorry.

Oh, 2016 you sneaky little bastard!

All year long, you give me the most horrific 5h!t : Bowie dead, Prince dead, Aleppo pulverized, the most dangerous clown since Pennywise elected US - President...

But at the second to last day of yourself...you give me this gem!

I LOL'ed so damn hard, I almost wet myself!

Brilliant!

Just brilliant!

okay...now...who really is "Man of the Year"?

I would have preferred to have seen a Prisoner of Conscience, preferably a hapless student, win it.

 

 

This seems to be de rigueur in the local culture, what with lese majeste and article 44 making it against the law to have an unscripted opinion.

Was it very difficult to defeat Toon Bodyslam?

there was an error

no other name was supposed to be on the ballot

Was it ever in doubt?

I must say the competition was stiff. The runner ups look like real game changers. Bravo. 

In the spirit of a meeting of equals, I suggest we arrange a dinner with Naam so they can discuss issues of importance to the expat community.

 The best joke in 2016. 

 balderdash 

Joke of the year more like. 

Oh, the joys and privilege of military law.  But he earned it by lending a steady hand to bike lanes, beach chairs and now Baht buses.  The man truly saved Thailand from things like universal suffrage, foreign investment, and education.  Propaganda will work just fine in the place of education.
