but not true.

Why is the Junta so sensitive about criticism? Thought soldiers were tough.

All Thais are. Look at the anti American and Anti US ambassador bullshit going on right now... I have lost a few Thai friends in the last few days over this. There is a bit of North Korean brainwashing that occurs here believe you me.

This is the Blue mums power play. Prayuth is her puppyy dog. She wants to be sure the black sheep is off the interchange bench and the takky cannot return

The rest is crumbs and beneath the crumbs are the falangs

He's been charged with insurrection. He'll be convicted of obstructing traffic in 20 years or so. Just like his PAD mates at the airport

Wonder if the FB outage was just a test in addition to this....

Thailand’s cybercoup

All Thai people do not like and can not take criticisam it's in their DNA.
I dont know where it stems from or why most other nations can stand it and even debate the subject in hand.
But you say anything against a Thai or Thailand then murder is at hand.

Because they're brainwashed into believing the world revolves around Thailand.

Conditioning does come easy here, as it might towards any culture worldwide.

That is quite an article. That quote is certainly there, as is a denial in the next parapraph. So...... reader's choice?

Most probably, someone ordered blocking, then someone higher up said it was stoopid and ordered to unblock.

Thais don't really see themselves as a national entity, more so a cultural one.

Outside of that, a general character trait [individually/collectively] that might irk many is their seemingly juvenile ability to never be in the wrong, falsehoods that are twisted, or a negative cast in their direction - usually surfaced over en lieu of reality. It is what it is......broader cultural things that one understands/recognizes or doesn't.

One of them is lying. i can't see any reason for the public servant to lie so I think the military spokesman did.

Why not? The whole official coup began with a corrupt and massive lie. It's only martial law, not a coup. We just want people to talk. And after two hours, aa coup is declared and they are locked up.

DM has been blocked the past 3 days, for daring to publish a series of outrageous pixelated pics. It seems our glorious leaders believe the DM acted irresponsibly, not the subject of the pics.

Touch sensitive, methinks, because the more noise they make to protect Thailand and its great institutions the more attention they're actually drawing to the scandals they should rightly wish to conceal.

Bit dumb if you ask me, so don't.

This guy isn't in jail.

Has to be said that is a good point, TS.

The timing of this is beyond serendipitous.

Wasn't in the starting lineup tonight as far as I saw. Farm team player was though

Some really interesting comments above. Thanks for the insights.

Thailand seems like it's going to the Soi dogs, just now.

Let's not lose it totally, Che old chap. Maybe what you meant to say is 'they're not *that* stupid'?

That I can agree with.
