I'm waiting to read a post from Spin that tells us just how much this Coup is disrupting his life but its not forth coming.


And what about you Jeff, has the Army offed half of Surin or is it business as usual up there. ?

I'm off to Phitsanulok in two weeks, hope that's still there.

Anybody else have some earth shattering events to report. ?

Thailand is in recession
tourism is right down
300,000 trucks idle
foreign investment applications down 30%
subject to mild diplomatic sanctions from the US, EU & Oz
Tier 3 (the lowest) on the human trafficking index
People are being held incommunicado, without charge and trial
media censorship is draconian- even facebook 'likes' are being threatened
there is no right of peaceful assembly
the junta has no transparency, or accountability to either the law or public under it's seized powers

No, nothing earth shattering tez.

All this could be easily mirrored under a "normal" Thai civilian government.
Frankly, there isn't too much difference between suppression under a militaristic junta and so-called democratic state.

One only needs to look deeper and realistically into contemporary Thai history.
Nothing changes much.

After what I have seen in my business over the past fortnight the best comment I can add to this thread is "I cannot possibly say anything detrimental about this government."

Now over to the fish thread until the next election.

It's great to have the subjective, unbiased input from the likes of terry57.
It gives us outsiders a really good grasp of the situation.
Namely; terry57 is alright.

Good news for his mother, I'm sure.

Nooners,

My poor mother is Dead but if she was alive she would of loved this forum.

Exactly, but the EU, the US and OZ try to uphold there alleged "democratically elected government" farce for the sheeple.

^What about a "free press,"? Oh,oh?

Free press?
When...? Where?

Free to what?
Keep the conventional status quo?

Mine would probably ground me for a month and spend most of that time washing my mouth out with soap.

Bless her.
