Thaksin isn’t coming back any time soon

Editor;
Re: Re: Democrat Party to seek court annulment of snap polls (PM Monday, 03 February 2014) - Two things are certain; Thaksin isn’t coming back any time soon, and because of that the Amnesty Bill will not be proceeded with. This means that the state prosecutor can move against Suthep and Abhisit on the long delayed charge of murder, for having given the Thai Army the orders to shoot redshirt protestors in 2010, and as a result of which 91 people were killed.
This is the real reason Suthep wanted a unelected People’s Council headed by himself in place of the democratic system he himself was part of for so long, for as life long President he would make sure no murder charges were brought against him and Abhisit.
This is also the real reason why he was prepared to plunge the whole of Thailand into chaos, Bangkok especially, to escape murder charges still outstanding.
It will be interesting to see if Yingluck does what she is surely tempted to do, given the dangerous man that Suthep has once again proven himself to be these last two months.

That isn’t Democracy

Re: Democrat Party to seek court annulment of snap polls - In reply to: Michael Mazur & Peter Abbott (PM Monday, 03 February 2014) - Michael, you are absolutely right but who would elect Suthep to be the head of the People’s Council, just the yellow shirts? Ignore the rest of the Thai Population? That isn’t Democracy it’s dictatorship! If I was Yingluck I would arrest him for treason in that he has taken illegal steps against the royal decree ordering the election. That should shut him up for the next 20 years or so!
The Thais in Bangkok are not the whole of Thailand. Democracy means that the majority form a government. It’s rather like the Liberal/Democrats in England trying to impose minority rule. Anyway, the leader of the protesters has a murder charge hanging over him for authorisng the killing of 90 red shirts in the last coup; obviously a nasty rabble rouser.

Jeremy Kyle could be a man of many faces

Editor;
Re: Start in Soi Buakaow & Who is Jeremy Kyle (PM Mailbag Friday, 24 January 2014) - Jeremy Kyle could be a man of many faces. He could be in the under 35 age group, who when they arrive here, get a GI style hair cut, buy some camouflage shorts, turn the collar of their shirts up (like their football hero), wear sunglasses on their head at night time, and pounce around as if they are on R & R from the football riots in Munich.
Or he maybe in a latter group, 3/4 baggy shorts, Singha T-shirt, black sox & sandals, shouting at the TV about a ref’s decision. He could fit the image of “the lost Beachcomer”, wandering about miles from the seaside flashing his “man boobs” to everyone in the Big C Extra. He, unlike the newcomers may be covered in tattoos from head to foot. (It’s a pity the circus folded before he made his debut.)
Don’t get me wrong I would never form an opinion on a person’s looks. I once lived in Soi Buakaow & saw this man daily and when I finally met him I found a well mannered man well versed with common knowledge and was a pleasure to talk with. The one that I find having a quiet drink are the ones dressed in clean Chinos, polo shirt & casual footwear. Sure they are there to suss out the talent but most times they do it with class. The list goes on and it’s up to you to choose who fits the bill of who is Jeremy Kyle.
Next Week! Who was Walter Middey?

The next recession

Editor;
Re: Report points to changing shift in Pattaya condo market (PM - Property & Real Estate; Thursday, 05 December 2013) - When Thailand has its next recession (and it will certainly happen), there will be a huge crash in the condo market in Pattaya. Thai ownership in all condos must be at least 51%, this will lead to mass selling by the Thai population and this will prevent foreigners from buying these units. It will all come down very fast.

Expat life

Editor
Re: Old guys in Pattaya (PM Mailbag Friday, 24 January 2014) - The economic crash of the mid 90s drove the baht to extreme low value against western countries and in doing so gave the impression that people on meager incomes could afford an expat life in Thailand.
The hard truth is, expat life has never been viable for people who do not have substantial savings/pensions/incomes.
