Yes, yes, everybody knows already, everything except kowtowing to the rulers of the nation is against the law in Thailand. Guess the government is already in deep negotiations with their Chinese friends to get more huge loans from them. This time to finance the building of new prisons, in be able to jail the vast and steadily growing number of political opponents who are fed up with the system here. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 Will the all out assault and persecution never end. These folks just despise anyone not like them. So un-Buddhist of them. Oh yeah I forgot they say they are Buddhist but do not act like it. Trying to beat everyone into submission just won't work even if you jail them all. It will just make more martyrs for the cause. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted December 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2020 We love them all the same. Unless they don't prostrate. Obviously the regime is afraid of the people, and the land of compromise is about as accurate as the Land of Smiles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they would turn out good and also said that if they didn't I would be the first to criticize them and I was true to my word, I always said "give them a chance" - they had it and failed At the time the PT party were not much better - they are all corrupt to the core 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
