yellowboat Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Guess there is not word for "propaganda" in Thai and that the perpetuating of it is wrong. They and the man seated center stage know no lows. Revolting sellouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadbury Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just more media publicity in an attempt to enhance his appeal for the upcoming election. All part of his very visible election campaign. Illegal for all other Parties but OK for him and the Junta Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 No famous singers then, BNK48 (AKB48 copy) are recently formed and have done nothing but been heavily promoted by their backers, even a film is out about them and you see them plastered on the side of buses etc. They are famous for being famous, not for singing.

holy cow cm Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Didn't think it possible, but I just crapped and puked at the same time. Jesus to Mother Mary it should be illegal and classified as a campaign stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamini Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The rants against the PM are a rather childish Farang thing. The same posters have done the same thing to other PM's. They appear very ignorant of Thai politics. They don't seem to accept the fact that the PM still has a lot of support in Thailand. This is due to the fact that they are all fed up with most previous governments and politicians. Many prefer the army because they were fed up with all the street mobs and the rampant corruption. I don't support a military government. But in my many years here I have seen far worse ones and far more corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really begs the question as to why he didn’t indicate standing for election or even allowed himself to be a nominated PM IF he has lots of support that you indicated.

I have been waiting for the thai'er- than- thai to thaixplain to me, what I don't understand! "I don't support a military government"...is that the same as "I am not a racist, but..."?! "Worse" is in the eye of the beholder, me thinks! Far more corrupt? I highly doubt the "far" part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
