rooster59 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 PM: No hard feelings among Thais Thammarat Thadaphrom BANGKOK, 21st January 2017 (NNT) – The Prime Minister believes Thai people are willing to let bygones be bygones, which is one of the characteristics of the people of Siam. In his weekly televised address, Prime Minister and leader of the National Council for Peace and Order, Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha called on citizens to leave the painful past behind them and look to the future, adding that national reconciliation requires cooperation by all sectors of society and that everyone has to find common ground and learn to get along despite differences. Gen Prayut said he wished to see all political groups work together to restore a true democracy and bring back the happiness the nation once enjoyed. To talk to each other, he said all sides must first open their hearts and act based on the best interest of the whole. To ensure a smooth administrative transition, he said a responsible committee will be formed under the power of the permanent constitution. The committee will assist the current government in its effort to pass on its duties to the next administration. -- nnt 2017-01-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinchester Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 My wife's family haven't spoken with their cousins, who live directly next door, for over 25 years all because of a petty squabble of who was to bring the kids home from school. The PM is deluded when he talks about setting differences aside, it ain't gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) What's all this talk suddenly of 'Siam'? It is yanking Thailand back to the days (nearly 100 years ago) when there was a TOTAL ABSOLUTE monarchical system (even before the fig-leaf of pretend democracy), rather than the constitutional monarchy we now enjoy. The choice of the name 'Siam' is very revealing given recent events and obsequies .... Edited January 21, 2017 by Eligius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I see no more a sense of community here than I do in any other country I've been to. You can sing that national anthem under the flag all day long, it ain't gonna make people love each other simply because they're born on the same bit of land. Also, loving each other doesn't mean you have to dislike others to prove your love of something. That's just blind loyalty filled with resentment and bitterness. Learn to feel empathy and compassion for all, and you'll be on a much better path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and we recall the stories not long after the Junta took control of wanting the ladies to return to the wearing of traditional tube dresses, the concern of the reduction of Buffalo numbers with the possible threat to their quaint vision of the loin clothed Issan farmer ploughing the fields with the Buffalo.

performance Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 A shit talker and a failed leader. He must be in the future history book as the worst leader of all time. His non reforming platform and taking Thai people as complete idiots. No wonder this guy needs a brain wash TV show. Honestly your not fit to manage MC Donalds.

Thailand Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Been here for a few years now and many Thai friends. In all that time I never heard them openly talking with so much disdain regarding certain sectors of the community as they are now. Reconciliation, they say, is simply a worn out word.
