    Just read your first post. Made me think of a short story by Khamsingh Srinauk that I read in a class in 1972, from Faa Bo Kan. Maybe it is in the collection noted below. Kiat (р╣Ар╕Вр╕╡р╕вр╕Ф) in the story title — perhaps. Maybe you know it?

    The Politician and Other Stories Paperback
    by Khamsing Srinawk (Author) , Domnern Garden (Translator) , Herbert P. Phillips (Translator).

    And here’s a seemingly carefully done piece on seeding in the American mountain west. Sounds like there is some science to support it, but, as alluded to here, not a lot of evidence.

    Drawing a line from 1973 via 1992 to the “red shirts” is an oversimplification to say the least. There are 1973 “octobrists” both in the red and the yellow camp (approximately equal parts). On the other hand some “red shirts” idolized Seh Daeng who was proud of having killed communists during the 1970s. Both the 1973 and 1992 movements were essentially borne by the urban middle-class. Chamlong was the most prominent leader of the oppositional movement (on one side with Weng, Thida, but also Somsak Kosaisuk and Pipob), while Samak was in government, one of the responsibles for gunning down the protesters.

    Having “satirical” drawings fantasizing about a lynching of dissenting protesters just like at Thammasat in 1976 (summary: “Your constant dissent bores me, so I hit you with a chair/hang you”) makes me nauseous.

    Perhaps some explanation might help people understand something. It is perfectly normal for Thai people not to write their own thesis. Not a single one of my friends did their own work. I myself translated one I found on the internet. And since my university does not even have the expensive equipment supposedly used by myself to support the thesis, it is clear that the university also knew that it was fake. But I passed. Everybody does!

    This is Thailand!

    Await the end of Kesseler comment before challenging. I am sure his conclusion will be very different , the twist and taciturn course of truth needs to be examined from different angles. Hindu and Buddhisht kings kept counsel of priestly class and better ones even deemed philospher kings. Yoga Vashita a text of antiquity names Janaka a rajarishi who initiated Suka one of the most profound philosphers . At least this is how the text reads. Historically Samrath Ramdas gave Counsel to Shivaji and Vidranya to the Vijayanagara Hukka and Bukka brothers. Let see where he goes, Kesseler is tying concepts of Kedaulatan( a soverignity of divine origin , comparing it to South East Asian kingdoms with Origin Hindu – Buddist background, later taken into Islam but retain some of the old feudal practises. He will surely tell what he sees of the kings by contemporary behaviour how the Najib Raj which has taken over from Mahathir Raj and Badawi Raj is behaving. Surely we know who the instructor is and who is the instructed . This is fun analysis but nothing that changes our daily life

    I thought you said I would find it hilarious? Kasit and Panitan are such liars they both make my blood boil. I just don’t understand how they can sit there and tell one bald-faced lie after another with a straight face. It must be because in the Thai system they are not used to having anybody call them out for the fools they are directly to their faces. I believe this is the principal failure of the Thai educational system, which doesn’t allow the students to ask questions of the teacher, so the teacher can spew any kind of nonsense and get away with it.

    You are actually using logic to discuss with a “yellow shirt”?

    I applaud your patience.

    6. In 2014, red shirts kill peaceful demonstrators and innocent bystanders. Red shirts prevent farmers from demonstrating through intimidation, claiming they defend democracy.

    In this fairy tale-romanticism context.

    I imagine that Suthep is the NangAek (Princess) waiting for Prince charming (Military/PhraAek/Hero) to rescue her from evil authority from her self entrapment on the street of Bangkok.

    At the moment, princess is waiting and waiting for her help from prince charming who never came. Every day passed with escalating danger to the princess, especially mother of all evil is visiting this April. She will curse an extreme heat hit the street of Bangkok by the evil sun, villain air-con, or monster cars.

    Make no mistake. They have their priorities right – their own enrichment and aggrandisement. The rest is lip service and window dressing.

    As for education they don’t even know what it means. No distinguishing indoctrination from education. To “think for themselves” is so foreign to these guys it must be good because it’s foreign.

    Curious to know if any office provides foreknowledge on dates spraying might occur, location, altitude, and chemicals used? Sodium chloride is mentioned, but silver iodide is frequently cited in other publications, and this is reportedly problematic for some.

    But you do realize that the two last elections (not counting the last one because it has no validated result yet) were held under the government of the opposition (2011 under Abhisit and 2007 under the “Council for Democratic Reform under the Constitutional Monarchy”). During both phases the election laws were changed a few times to the disadvantage of TRT/PPP/PT. With 12,211,604 votes out of 27,537,677 in the constituency vote in the 2011 election PT was a bit over-represented with 204 constituency seats, but that is the case all over the world when you vote by constituency. Both constituency vote and proportional vote showed clearly that a majority of the population wanted a PT government.

    Is this about the fella named Sok who has Vietnamese connections therefore all the money goes to Vietnam or do you actually have something proper to run with?

    So where is the proof of who is attacking the protests?
