Never been so late so often since letting wifey organize things. If the appointment in 10 am no need leave home till 9.59, regardless of distance and traveling time 555.

Popular Post BobbyL Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 Good to see him still maintaining his stance against the government, but most importantly the military. As we have said before, the establishment won't be letting go just yet, however with people like Thanatorn I hope one day in the future we see a real change in Thailand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubon farang Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Another misunderstanding by this guy when the army chief was saying he will reform the army habits in 90 days he meant 900 days. Telling porkies by the Military is just common language in their book 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are there in Thailand any leaders of the people who come from within the people? Or to say it differently: Are there any poor Thai people who lead large groups of poor Thai people? Thailand needs a lot of improvement in a lot of areas - like many other nation. And lots of rich Thai politicians do what is best for them and their elite friends - also like in some other countries. Where are the grassroot movements with non-billionaire leaders? I think it's almost funny how many poor people follow some Thai billionaires who pretend they only work for the people. And Thais could just look as their recent history to see that there is no reason to trust those people's billionaires. But it seems Thais do it again. Somehow this time that billionaire will work for the people - or maybe not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Any promise from any high ranking official from Thailand's ruling elite can only be taken at face value , the value in this case is like my wallet, zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Covid 19 business has been a bloody nuisance - lots of plans put on hold! That's a convience. The rules that the military made says that if generals want to become PM they first need to do the same as Prauyt did, "resign" and a few weeks later you are the PM. So atleast he doesn't need to do that in last minute when they need to switch the puppet. Edited May 23, 2020 by Okis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
