I Love Thailand

The situation in Thailand seems to be getting worse by the day. In the evening news, they showed footage of the chaos at the ASTV news agency – including footage of the news anchor getting injured while taping live.

With the PMs firing of the chief of police, I think the chances of another coup is great – even if their last one was very recent.

The situation is so different to 2006 that a peaceful coup would be very difficult – I don’t think that those to whom much of the army have strong feeling will want an unpopular coup government.

By being indentified with taking over the BKK airports Sondhi Limthongkul may well have committed political suicide. In order that he doesn’t take PAD down with him I suspect that someone else will now be promoted by those with influence behind the scenes as the rational voice of PAD; maybe we will see Chamlong Srimaung in a more high profile position and Sondhi being sidelined.

I enjoyed Arrraagghhhhh!’s comment. If what he said was done that would suit someone very nicely and undo years of work by someone else; which is exactly why I can’t see it happening.

The situation is virtually a Mexican stand-off. The main difference is that whilst one group has deployed their mob the other has not done so yet. I suspect that there will be talks and PAD will say something like ‘In order to pay respect to His Majesty King on his birthday and so as not to cause him to worry about the country we will request our supporters to abandon their protest at the airports in Bangkok.’ The reality is that they have little choice as moving against the airports was a strategic mistake because (i) it involved people outside the Thai political class in the game – international business that buys products from Thailand (cf. the US’s comment yesterday); (ii) it adversely effected the economy causing the Thai political class to lose money – never a wise move.

Just anything at all you think i could benefit from knowing.

When the clock strikes 6 or 6.30 Bangkok time, stay very still and don’t move. They’ll be singing their national anthem. The locals will scold you if you dare move. No kidding!

And don’t ever mock their king….they treat their king with a lot of reverence.

Don’t take the tuk-tuk…the drivers will cheat you. Also they have two types of subways…one’s underground and one’s above. Just don’t get confused.

Usually massage parlours aren’t for massages only.

Also, the clothes are pretty small…for petite frames, I guess. So if you are thinking of getting clothes there, think twice.

Wear proper shoes when you are there. When it’s rainy, the ground gets pretty muddy…you really don’t want me to elaborate, do you?

There is a possibility the Bangkok airport will be closed again and i will be stuck in Thailand. Where is the cheapest beach area to hunker down. I don’t care for Pattaya and Samui which have so many sleazy Thai whores everywhere.

Everywhere is sleazy so Pattaya is as good as anywhere. The beach there is crap. FYI, Cha Am is a dump.

KhunB sounds like a nitwit.

I know the steps for a bill becoming a law in Canada but I need to know the steeps for Thailand for a project.
If you have any good, accurate resources or know yourself please post here.
Flow chart style would be the most helpful.
Thanks.

If you are going to be there a long time why not get a new one and have a guarantee to go with it?

Good luck.

The Novtel Hotel at the airport. Are you a troll?
