Ok I'll be the first to admit my limited knowledge of how this place works, but after 14 one month stays and a 5 month stay a picture is beginning to form in my mind and I'm afraid it's a negative one.
For starters how can anything be taken seriously when the police force supposed to be overseeing the place is seemingly allowed to be corrupt from top to bottom ?
( Please don't take this next bit as a moan, it's not I'm just using it as an example were all familiar with )
I go through an ORANGE light, no offence fine 400bht 5 cars behind me go through RED lights, mai been raised etc.
Children with NO LICENCES INSURANCE etc allowed everyday on the roads no problem.
20 people in on a pick up no seats let alone belts no problem.
Forgot to put your belt on in the car your driving? Pay here please Sir.
Now I think the chances of any form of democracy are zilch stemming from what I see as NO discipline ever instilled from an early age.
Children are allowed to fall out of bed in they're pyjamas without either washing or dressing, picking at food from the table then running round with it,
The parents I have witnessed seem to have a complete inability to install any form of discipline
So in the upcoming non vote paid for elections who will democratically accept the winning vote?
Well those who voted that way, the rest will blow they're whistles and tear it down again because it doesn't suit them.
I'm sorry no discipline no democracy here ever as far as I can see.
