Only good thing coming out of all this is going to be that their dreams will soon turn in nightmares for a lot of people and that is when hopefully they will realized what kind of mistake they made voting for them....

It will be too late. Total power will be solidified. Democracy is  DEAD in Thailand, starting today.


Errr..just how is democracy dead?:huh:

The people have spoken havent they? If anything this prooves that democracy DOES work.

I dont like it any more than you, but you cannot claim democracy wasnt done just becuase you dont like the outcome. After all, NOT accepting the voice of the majority of the people  would make one a bit of a dictator wouldnt it?

Sad day indeed for Thailand.

As you can see, democracy just doesn't work unless people have equal access to education and information.

Getting rid of Abhisit and Korn makes no sense.

And yes, by the way, I do feel intellectualy superior to many Thais, not through nationality but through the privilege of a first class education.

Sadly it is a Thai trait to consider today at the expense of tomorrow.

Fools

Everybody has equal access to education and information nowadays over the internet. They do not have to be from a rich family and getting everything for granted through their background. India is a good example, they learn on the internet. I see many thai girls and boys in internet shops communicating with "whoever", but not learning to improve their missing skills (of course there are exceptions)I always wonder, why so many "girls", sitting in front of a massage saloon doing nothing than scream "massage" at the same time. Why do they not have a book on their knees to learn Englsich, Japanese or Chinese (nowadays better Russian) instead of just screaming in a chorus?What is the reason?? I want to pint out that this does not apply to all.

Taksin almost destroyed the farang nightlife scene- guess you didn't go much.

I *LOVE* nightlife and it's one of the great misconceptions that the social order campaign was targetted specifically at the Farang/tourist scene.

Also, the drive for the social order BS originated from a faction that has long since split off (that nutter chamlong among others), so I'm not too worried.

Please do not mix up your love for nightlife with thai politics, not all thais are working in your preferred establishments.

Thaksin is the least corrupt of these leaders and policians, including the generals.
He doesn't need the money.
He's interested in prestige.

Of course, he must by sheer necessity engage in a certain amount of political corruption when you consider who the other  players are, and that it's Thailand.

As for paying poor people for votes...how much did Abhissit pay them?
Nothing...zero...nadda....
.And what did he ever do for them....
Nothing...zero...nadda.

Thaksin tried, and with some success, delivered for them...health-care...land reform...education reform.... and  he deserves every vote.
I hope his sister's government can restart those initiatives.

What does it need to gain prestige other than money. Curious what your answer will be.

I am really interested to see, how exaclty they want to raise the minimum wages to 300 baht all around the country, without bringing thousands of companies and small business owners into bankruptcy.

Do you have any insight how much tax street vendors have to pay per month? Do they employ their sales staff according to the law with social insurance and minimum wages until today.
What is the difference to have a shop in a concrete building and does the minimum wage apply to them? How are they contolled?

I've been living and doing business in Thailand since 2000.

All i know is that from 2001-2006 it was great and from 2006-2011 its been shite.

So today is surely a good day for foreigners :) why is everyone moaning?

What business are you in, it seems that the worldwide financial crisis did not effect your business?
