Thank you for you kind picture which it didn’t report on local Thai and local English newspaper. We are known very well. The goverment do try everything cheating a people. Mr. Abhisit , come by illegal way. I do hope international media known well and we need you help to tell the world what is going on in Thailand. Only small goup of people and Authoritariant received a big benefits and spoils
I still cannot understand why Prof. Ungpakorn continues to receive personal criticism and his work trivialised.
A read of Pasuk and Baker’s “History and Politcs of Thailand” would inform any reader of the decimation of the union movement in this country and the replacement “unions” that were permitted to operate within the state organisations.
Maybe the problem is the ignorance of the members of the ITF.
It is a sad depart from what our ‘culture’ has been in dire need of for so long now. Not only has she opened our eyes and minds to accepting what is through the lens of a filmmakers, but her life story is a testament of the spiral of silence that needs to be broken for our nation as a people to move forward. I only hope that her demise is one that will be fruitful and her passion for our freedom to express is one that will continue within the future generations of filmmakers in Malaysia.
The Nation or Bangkok Post prefers to report on things like what the Red Shirts did in April, of course through their biased glasses. These two newspapers serve the interests of the ammart and ignore the plights of the rural and urban poor.

Love your work, Nick. I don’t know why the Thai media do not say any thing about this. They should have learned how to be real journalist.
I hope this truth will be widely published or informed to the world so they would correctly understand the situation in Thailand that it is not really democratic and the people are brain-washed.
For someone who claims to be an expert on Thai labour, Ji once again shows how little he understands about the international labour movement. David Cockroft is the head of the IFT, and the IFT’s major Thai union affiliates are the Port Authority of Thailand union, the SRT Union, the Thai Airways Union, the Bangkok Bus Union, etc. Cockroft has probably been formally requested by his Thai affiliates for a statement of support for their struggle. This is not hard to figure out. Whether you agree or not with the ITF’s stand, the issue is that it is a membership organization and when its members (the affiliate unions) bring up issues, the ITF has to address them. Of course, the idea of membership organizations is not something that I think Ji is very familiar with — since as an ivory tower academic, his bread and butter comes from shouting the loudest and longest. Ji’s efforts to organize radical students and workers when he was in Thailand was always the biggest joke in the Thai labor movement — he was always lucky if he could manage any more than about 30 people at any of his “national” mobilizations. If Ji wants to raise issues with the ITF, then he should write a letter to Cockroft — and try to do some more advocacy and education with them directly (since they are in the UK, and Ji will be there for the forseeable future anyways), and less shouting on blogs that I rather doubt Cockroft or anyone else from the ITF is going to be reading any time soon.
Great report — great photos. Now we need to see if anyone can identify the pay-off giver who stepped out of the Benz — hope the readers can help with that. Can we expect that it is some private secretary to one of the Bhumjaithai Party big-wigs? Keep it coming, Nick!
Ok, so I’ve found out how Delta got their foreign players. They used a Malaysian player agent (FIFA authorised).
It didn’t work out to well for them, Delta actually finished last, and they’ve now got rid of their three Argentineans. At the moment they have nine foreign players trialling at the club and will probably sign five. These guys are mostly from Africa and were also identified by the same agent.
I have found it quite hard to share my opinions about dhammakaya, its lavish temples and the people that worship it. I am a thai student living in england and alot of my thai friends practice the dhammakaya with their family. I am completely against the dhammkaya movement and me and my mum would always have a heated discussion about it. I really hate how they can convince thai people to hand over huge amounts of money for ridiculous purposes such as building new area in the temple for making merit, buying your own mini statue that will be contributed into the final chedi for 10,000 bath each, yes really. A lot of thai people who follows dhammakaya (that i know of) wernt educated when they were younger, so they tend to believe in whatever the dhammayaka tell them.
I dont want anyone to think that i am looking down on my thai people, but dhammakaya is something that i have been against ever since i was a young age. They are very good at one thign though – convincing people into believing in whatever they want them to believe.
If you flick through their brochures, you will find stuff like ‘how to make merit for your own happiness’ ‘merit will make you more beautiful physically’ ‘making merit will result in a perfect life’
now ive known for a long time that that is not true, it really baffles me how millions of others can believe in such lie.
ever since i was young, i was taught by my mum and grandma that, when you give, do not think about what merits you will receive back, think about the people, the ghost and the spirits you are helping.
i really wish dhammakaya didnt exists, it makes me mad when i see people working hard instead of spending time with their children just so they can buy the new statue that will be put into ANOTHER chedi.
Of course there are many corrupt practices in the NGO sector, and the NGO Law may help to expose these. The question is: will that lead to the end of these corrupt practices? Or will it just help the Cambodian government to take a cut of the loot? While silencing anyone who might want to complain about that?
Ji seems to be getting a bit excitable. It is usually better to make your case in more measured ways. I actually wonder what his thoughts on the red shirts tending to be more pro-Thaksin than say pro-democracy these days. There is a difference as no true pro-democracy advocate would actually back someone with such an awful human rights record. They would at least if demanding his return also demand his trial on cases nobody has yet brought as protecting the democtic rights of those killed under his polices during his tenure is as important as returning a flawed but elected person with a hideous human rights record. This must be frustrating for any true pro-democracy activists on the red side. I hope Ji sticks to his previous beliefs of what Thaksin was and doesnt become an apologist. The alliances of politcial convenience, side changing and the selling out of ideals has been remarkable in this ongoing power battle.
I dont think the yellows were the only ones to bring armed violence to the streets too.
One’s birthday is now being used to see one’s popularity. Let us see what happens on the 3rd of August, which is the birthday of our handsome PM. Some people have announced plans to wear black on that day. Perhaps sonthi Lim should also announce his birthday plans.

Tribute to Yasmin Ahmad, Malaysian filmmaker (1958-2009)
It is a sad depart from what our ‘culture’ has been in dire need of for so long now.

Thank you New Mandala for the enlightenment. Mr. Nevin and his Bhumjai Thai party should go to hell. You do not deserve to be a Thai.

Imports
Ok, so I’ve found out how Delta got their foreign players. They used a Malaysian player agent (FIFA authorised).
It didn’t work out to well for them, Delta actually finished last, and they’ve now got rid of their three Argentineans. At the moment they have nine foreign players trialling at the club and will probably sign five. These guys are mostly from Africa and were also identified by the same agent.
Fools and their money

Fantastic piece of work.
What a shame you don’t see journalism like this in the B.Post or Nation.
Excellent job.
Cambodia’s four letter word: NGOs
Of course there are many corrupt practices in the NGO sector, and the NGO Law may help to expose these. The question is: will that lead to the end of these corrupt practices? Or will it just help the Cambodian government to take a cut of the loot? While silencing anyone who might want to complain about that?
