Why can't they revert back to the '97 Constitution rather than amend the current Gov/Military Const. ?
Of course this will mean the German tourist won't have his powers over money and BKK military anymore.  But he's already taken the money out of the country ... 

 

The student led protests do need a plan moving forward.  1) to get Phayut and cronies out, 2) how to get a new election, 3) how to remove the current Const. sections that gives the senate so much power, 4) how to move back to a true Constitutional Deleted without military bearance.

Yes.

I am worried they are losing momentum.  How much longer will crowds gather to shout, 'Prayuth ork pai.'

The police were not too concerned today and the army have been out of sight. It has become dull.

Tomorrow at the German Embassy may stir things and a call for the 1997 Constitution as an interim shortcut would provide focus.

Can he really remove the money?  It is mostly land, businesses, property and the income from them.

Interested.

Interesting comments on fb pages about some police supporting the protests with them actually taking part when off duty. What is notable is the generation gap between the far older yellows, apart from soldiers in fancy dress, and the mass of the protesters calling for reform, the intelligence levels are noticeably different also. The time will come when coups, crawling on the floor and kissing shoes is only in accounts of how things used to be, the youngsters are on the right side of history no matter how long it takes.

Hilarious video clip on Andrew Marshalls fb page by a yellow shirt claiming he was paid 1.000 baht to show up as well as free beer, looks like an Issan farmer or tuk tik driver, not a convincing yellow at all, they forgot to pay him to keep his mouth shut ????
