This is why I never do 90 day reports and just pay a fine once a year.
Every time I post this I get a bunch of confused emoticons as I am sure will now.
Enjoy slumming it at immigration 4 times a year or navigating the online mess. I just budget extra 2000b per year for the convenience.
When they reject it and I send a broker it costs 3000 Baht.
If I go there by taxi the taxi costs 2x500=1000 Baht
So that 2000 seem very reasonable

But it’s only the military backed ones that are allowed to form a government. The fact there are many parties means absolutely nothing other than offering a facade for democratic elections.
US criticism is only going to push the Junta closer to Xi and Vlad because they know these two will not publicly criticise any injustices they may inflict upon the Thai people. It’s all about face.look the last 30 years in Thailand how many different parties had the PM.....

You don't deem the term "she should go back to the jungle" as racist?
OK, yes it is....but mildly so. Just the first kind of insult that came into her mind...if it would be a Thai teacher who is gay, who is bald, who is small, who is fat that would have been the topic.

Depends what you want to come out of it. Expelling the child and having her face criminal charges would surely have a greater impact on racism in Thailand, than simply a wai and all is forgotten.
It's making the bad press go away vs. trying to ensure it won't happen again. The latter simply isn't a thing in Thailand.
a criminal case because a kid in puberty misbehave in school...half of my generation would be criminals....

And a few flowers makes it all ' alright '
This is the problem with Thais, the apology I am quite sure is forced and not genuine, it's the same with the wais and 500 baht fines for unruly and violent behaviour.
Nothing mentioned about her friends mother who launched a filthy racist attack, or are we awaiting another ' bunch of flowers '
" It's easier to build strong children , than repair broken ones "
a forced apology, flowers and loose of face is better than make a big case out of it.

Where is the racism?
What says that they wouldn't have done it to a Thai teacher?

Most of the Thai's I've talked to say, Srettha Thavisin will get the vote and be the next PM.
I heard a lot that Senate would not vote for the Thaksin party and the compromise will be Anutin....
Note: not my opinion....so don't tell my opinion is crazy....it is not mine I only heard it

That's good and dandy but they really need are tourist that will spend money unlike the Chinese and Indians.....
They do a lot fly to Bangkok 2 days for shopping....or even just 1 day. Also Chinese and Indians are doing that.
Maybe they spend less on average but they are far more and there are some high spender.

Or is it really to do with the fact that Thailand announced last year it's dumping it's dollar dept by half by 2016 and applied to join BRICS that will see an end to the dollar as the reserve currency sending there own country into a depression not seen in 100 years and bring an end to US imperialism. The world will be a safer place when it does.
And having a 2 party system that prevents any new ideas.
But no the US imperialism is not ending and also not the USD.....Other currencies will loose, probable even the Euro and people will go into the safe USD....keeping it stable. At the end with ever increasing spending it will collapse but that can be a decade in future and with the strongest military they can squeeze out money and resources from other countries

Folks that invited the vampires into their homes did not too well in the long run once the vamps get a strong foothold
But that aside countries that pretend to be freedom supporters should not tolerate countries like Thailand at all. There should be harsh sanctions already floating at Thailand since 2014
Again the only reason there are none is due to trying to remain an option/ally for some very stupid reason
Thailand does military exercise with everyone I think....
What freedom supporters? These who are ally with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Ukraine (only state media, all parties but the ruling one banned, no religious freedom). If it fits their agenda they support the Shah, Saddam, Pinochet, Dalai Lama, Marcos.....
If Thailand had a real brutal dictatorship, but allows US based and goes strong Anti-China, the freedom lover would love Thailand.....Remember how they made a coup against the democratic government in Iran.

The only reason Prawit can be PM is to prepare new elections.
There is no way he should be regular PM. In the election it was pretty clear that people do not want him.....

From soldier who helps direct criminal military operation to usurp power from elected civilian govt, to smiling, avuncular, apparently 'enigmatic' political player : quite the makeover, eh Prawit?
But so quickly do you bring to mind the expression, 'You can't polish a turd.'
usurp from an illegal expired caretaker government which refused to go.....
After the failed election that government had expired. They did not do a coup against a regular normal government

The USA should fix their own democracy and legal system first...
When was the last time there was a president that was neither from Democrats nor Republicans?
1869 (Wikipedia) at least Thailand has different parties

Elevators usually has a backup source of electricity. Should never stop in-between two stories if there is a power out.
Really?? before last winter I saw a TV discussion in Germany about power outage, and the group panic claimed that when there is no electric there are that much elevators and only so few fire fighters (who rescue) that many people would die in the elevators. I than wondered if there aren't normal staff who can lower the elevator....if there is not something that allows manually lowering it 1 floor.
Don't know how long the air lasts in the elevator if there are several people in it.

60/40 is a margin of 20 points. I'd class that as big. But I come from a 52/48 land so anything looks big to me.
I don't recall seeing that TV show or any article referencing it. If he did say it, which he may well have done, I doubt anybody believed it. Otherwise the referendum options should have been worded as "Use new constitution proposal" and "Revert to the old constitution". It wasn't worded that way, however. It was a "yes/no" vote on the new constitution only.
from wikipedia: "However, it was approved by 61% of voters with a 59% turnout."
For me that result is catastrophic...the constitution should something everyone should agree. Something like 80+% at a 90% turn out.
Before someone told that in fact he did not say "going back to the previous constitution" but said to "a previous constitution" any of his picking.....I don't know if that true or not.
Obvious if the constitution is rejected, if I am Prayuth I would take 2 years time to draft another one and if it is rejected I take another 2 years and draft another one. That would be the logic thing to do for a dictator who pretends to want democracy.
My point is: I would not believe it as well.

Can you read?
"Right after seizing power, the generals announced their intention to restructure the country, in such a way, they said, that they would never have to mount another coup."
"This time they made sure their amended draft would pass, by imposing a strict ban on any campaigning, so the public understood very little about it, and by warning that the only alternative was extended military rule."
Two quotes taken from a BBC article, written in April 2017.
As to where have I been, I've been right here in Thailand and was living here before the coup.
Than the BBC article is rubbish.....Prayut said in TV that he'll just go to the old constitution if the new is rejected (if he would do it or if it is a lie is a different question). And when you were here you have seen how much PTP and the red shirt cared about the ban....not at all.
And afterwards he got the most votes in the election......So if they people would have voted yes only to get rid of Prayuth they would not have him voted in afterwards.
And yes it was not a clean referendum...it was dirty. But if you read BBC....when did you or your parents had a referendum about constitution and how do you (not) elect your upper house?

But any disagreement or suggestions on alternatives were not allowed. Honest discussion on the negatives of the proposed constitution was shut down. So actually only those who supported the proposed constitution had a voice. The referndum was an absolute farce, as only one side was heard.
And then there was appointment of the senators. A total joke. I want to see them get their comeuppance. Self-entitled tw@ts.
red was running up and down the country rejecting it and everyone discussed it......There was no honest discussion because as now the one bubble shouted NO and the other bubble shouted YES and no one was interested in details.
And no one bothered to read it....that why it got so sloppy....but it was voted for....which can't be ignored.
Also note that afterwards Prayuth got the most votes in the election. Then he wasn't as unpopular as he is now.

There was a public referendum which won by a fairly large margin but with a couple of caveats.
Firstly, many of the educated public were basically of the view that they have to either accept the proposal, or never get a general election.
Secondly there were reports (I don't know how credibile they were) of polling offices with helpful military personnel showing people how to vote. You know, escorting them to the ballot box, showing them how to make their vote (in particular, pointing out which box to tick)
No the margin was not big...60 something percent with a low voter turnout.
Prayuth said on TV that if it was rejected there will be the old constitution again and elections. Debunking these rumors
