I also wonder if anybody there will have the courage to call the Butcher of Bangkok by the name on his birth certificate – the name he used to enrol at Oxford with and the name he used to place himself on the British register of voters.
1. To what does Abhisit attribute the ‘teflon’ ability of his government to survive mass protests the likes of which no other government has been able to withstand in Thailand?
2. Now that Abhisit is no longer in government (and while Chumpol Silpa-archa is), and I’d like Abhisit to reveal the identity of the ‘special power’ referred to by Chumpol Silpa-archa as forcing the CP party to join the previous Democrat-led coalition government http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/politics/241897/pm-rules-out-pecial-power-govt
1) Why does Thailand need article 112? – Dr Tul completely failed to explain this in February. Since Abhisit seems to be the second most fanatic proponent of the lese majesty he might be qualified to answer the question – apparently he wont be able to escape by pretending a selective loss of EN language skill as Tul.
“I’ve spoken to a key and very senior advisor to your last government, someone with very close connections to Democrat Party ministers and who is also a member of the same Bangkok elite social milieu you hail from.
They told me that many people now consider you to have been a complete failure as leader and that you need to resign as you are damaging both Thailand and the Democrat Party.
Why is not Abisith resigned in order to show that he accepts responsibility for the happened?
Why he does to this day no responsibility for what had happened?
Dear Adam
How can you disbelief in Old Testament, when you say it is gods word.
Jesus too said he did no come to remove the laws, but he came to strengthen it. He does not eat pigs.He circumcised. If you guts follow Jesus,then you should not eat pigs and be circumcised..Heh,heh. What say you circumcise and not eat pigs like true followers of Jesus.
As a liberal Muslim I belief in the middle path, The Law of Moses(Old Testament) is one extreme an all law religion. The Law if Jesus is the other extreme,ie a no law religion. The Law of Mohammad is the middle path.
If Christians follow Jesus’ words they would be Muslims and Jews.
Instead Christians follow disbelievers/infidels by eating pigs, don’t circumcise and disbelief in gods word/ Bible old testament by having many gods instead of one god….Jesus,Mother Mary,Pope and priest, whom you believe more than god of the old testament Bible.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, to which Thailand is a signatore, states:
“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
Today freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is understood as a multi-faceted right that includes not only the right to express, or disseminate, information and ideas via any medium, be it orally, written, in print, via the Internet or through art forms. This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression via three distinct and specific aspects:
1. the right to seek information and ideas;
2. the right to receive information and ideas;
3. the right to impart information and ideas.
In the Bangkok Declaration adopted by Ministers of Asian states meeting in 1993, Asian governments reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They stated their view of the interdependence and indivisibility of human rights and stressed the need for universality, objectivity and non-selectivity of human rights.
However, they emphasized that the principles of sovereignty and noninterference called for greater emphasis on economic, social, and cultural rights, particularly the right to economic development, over civil and political rights.
My question is: IF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION IS THE UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED STANDARD BY WHICH DEMOCRACIES EITHER STAND OR FAIL, IS THAILAND A DEMOCRACY?
It would seem that his return is imminent. This could be a positive step if it is managed in the correct manner by PT and the UDD. A triumphal procession is not the correct way to go about things, but I fear that is what we will get.
I think the army will stay out of it, unless there is a direct threat to their power. There will be a few of the fringe lunatics and criminals from the PAD and other assorted groups who will try to drag the army in, but I don’t see there being any meaningful mass organised demonstrations that will threaten the government.
The only matters to be decided on are the timing [June just after the banned ones come back] and the mechanism [which the Democrats will try to stop in some token way].
Thaksin can contribute in very positive ways to Thailand, but he does need to take stock and manage his ego. His ego contributed to his removal from office (only contributed – there were many other factors, mostly not his making). I only see problems if the process is managed in a ham-fisted fashion, but that is the usual way in Thailand.
“Re CT comment #8
You are being sarcastic, right?”
No, I am serious. I genuinely support Princess Srirasmi to be the next Queen. But whether I respect her or not, or whether my opinion towards her is positive or negative, that’s another issue. The main reason I support her is because I think the Chakri Dynasty should end already. And what would be the better way to end this dynasty than the King who is a sex maniac and his wife who is a porn star.
I just strolled down to the That Luang to view the site of the old revolutionary stupas. I has been cleared and repaved, and any newcomer would never know there had been five large stupas there a week before. In fact the space is now being used for car parking. I presume the stupas got knocked down just before Thaksin came to the Salaphanhong to make merit. Phi Mai Lao in Vientiane this year is very subdued. One wonders if this is because of all the clearance work around the temple complex.
The Tatmadaw usually leave their dead where they fall, unless it’s a high ranking officer.
I spoke to a Karenni colonel about the failed attack on his mountaintop camp. He told me that the Burmese soldiers were left where they died, and some bodies were carried further down the mountain to alleviate the overpowering smell.
When the Karenni Army offered to let the Burmese collect their dead, the reply was, “What for? They’re of no use to us now”.
I would like to know if when the Royal Thai Army were protecting him while in power if he ever considered he was being intimidated into taking uninformed and biased decisions? If not what were the checks and balances he used to overcome being intimidated by the Royal Thai Army. Thank you.
You are being sarcastic, right? I have a friend of a friend from British Counsel, who was tapped to be her private English tutor. Although this is all second hand information, it was reported to me that the impression one makes of the former karaoke singer is that she is, well, more than a little lazy, more than a little over-indulged, and not a very dedicated student (I have to be mindful of the realities of LM in Thailand so I feel constrained not to say more).

Jesus predicted the coming of another prophet in John 14:16 and John 16:7/8.
God too predicted “The prophet” from the lineage of Abraham’s other son, Ismael, in Deuteronomy 18:18.

Thaksin wants to get off exile island
It would seem that his return is imminent. This could be a positive step if it is managed in the correct manner by PT and the UDD. A triumphal procession is not the correct way to go about things, but I fear that is what we will get.
I think the army will stay out of it, unless there is a direct threat to their power.

Revolutionary remains
I just strolled down to the That Luang to view the site of the old revolutionary stupas.

3,000 dead Burmese soldiers?
The Tatmadaw usually leave their dead where they fall, unless it’s a high ranking officer.
