This article really cracked me up.

This past weekend, I was shopping at Central Airport Plaza in Chiang Mai. I was looking for a Mophie Juice Pack Plus battery case for my iPhone. The store I went to had them hanging on the rack with the other cases. The price was about 990 baht. Since the information on the box was in Thai, I asked the clerk how long the warranty was. He said 2 months. I joked with I'm and said, "2 months? Jing, jing?" He said yes, since it was the fake version is only had a two month warranty. He then showed me the real item which has a 1 year warranty. The price was also over 3000 baht. I must say that I was impressed with his honesty though I can only assume that he wasn't worried about telling me it was a fake since any enforcement for selling counterfits was unlikely.

Of course, I wasn't looking for a Rolex. Posted Image

Pantip Plaza Chiang Mai - for the very best in fake computers and parts and programmes also, the cheapest DVD's in town - buy 10 get two free!
Actually better known for bootlegs than actual fakes.
The PC makers at Pantip can build some serious Over-Clocked iron for gamers,  right up there with major western cities, but it's the bootleg software that always gets the raids.

It's copies of originals, with registration and password cracks added,
not software pretending to be real. It's real just not licensed.

The Rolexes are nothing but look alike knock offs.

Was Thaksin staying as PM after he was not approved not a coup as well? How would removing someone holding the PM office illegally be an illegal coup? Was the 2010 riots a failed illegal coup attempt?
A very good point.

Thaksin had resigned, after not being renewed as failed Acting PM,
because he screwed up the snap election. The Election commission on
the way to jail, for apparent collusion with his party no less.

His term as acting PM had expired.
He was not renewed, his Deputy PM became officially Acting PM
He unilaterally took back the Acting PM job, and called himself PM.

a week after he PUBLICLY RESIGNED. Saying " The country needs me."
but he NEVER returned to the palace for confirmation, likely sure he would be turned down,
or published his position in The Royal Gazzette as constitutionally required.


There was the obviously faked attempt to blow him up,
and create an SOE or martial law, which specifically was talked of.

Then he paraded himself at the UN as Thaliands Prime MInister,
when he legally was not.  Something had to give;
Either his ego or something more forceful.

The 2009 and 2010 riots were blatant attempts at a coup from the street.
Obviously with hopes that water-mellon Army and police would stand up
to the other side if enough deaths occurred.
And now the whitewash of it all.

He had not resigned. He stated he was not going to seek the PM's post in the coming election, the October 15th 2006 election that was royally endorsed that you neglect to mention  http://app.mfa.gov.s....asp?View,4889, . This date was later postponed because of a clash with Ramadan. The Senate selected 4 Senior Judges and a Deputy Attorney General on September 8th 2006 to become the new Election Commissioners. So all was going ahead for an election until the Coup..................

All wrong dude, I mean fantasy world wrong.
I was here, watched it unfold daily, first hand.

He had 90 days to run the election starting back in the winter.
This slate of election commissioners was months after he had resigned when his 90 days was up.
He was never reinstated, a week later, he unilaterally took the job back for himself.
But it never was officially and constitutionally authorized.

That is the point; legally he was not Acting PM on a second term.
He hadn't been the Prime Minister of Thailand since
he disolved Parliament and resigned to call the snap election.

Yes, the Oct 15 election was royally endorsed,
but Thaksin as Acting PM WAS NOT!
Which is the point.

"The department was strongly concerned that the singer's behaviour would encourage other tourists to seek and shop for fake products in the country"

And the downside is????

It's already happening but the Thai government hasn't done anything about it,... Start with Khao San Road, Panthip and Chatuchak to crack down, LOL...
Oh hell just start on any street in the city of Bangkok.

Khun Pajchima..... FAIL!
Complaining to the USA embassy over Lady Gaga is idiotic on face value.
Besides the institutional hypocrisy you put on display for the world to observe,
you now also show your complete lack of understanding of how
UN-Paternal USA is with their pop stars.

Gaga could care less what the consulate thinks, the show is over,
what is a worry is USA press, and THIS point would make them laugh out loud.

As if a word from some pencil pushing Ministry weenie is going to phase Khunying Tingtong?
Which is a passable translation of her name and her act.

It is difficult to see how any judicial system which has laws retrospectively changed years later to exonerate selected individuals cannot be considered to be compromised..... even in a 'miracle year'.
I guess you are correct but when were coups made legal?
Coups seem to take the place of impeachment and conviction,
in a land where they never have the balls to make the laws strong enough
to remove thieves and brigands from the top offices.

If coups are accepted by the society as a whole,
and not just decried by the losers only, then they are a part
of what society accepts, and thus not illegitimate.

With 19 of them, so far, it seems to be a relief valve for a particular type
of societal disfunction, in a society not used to functioning as the rest of
the world expects it should.

Not saying this is good or that it always works well,
but this appears to be how it functions here,
because it does NOT function normally, and never has the last 80 years.
Why; is a doctoral thesis of massive proportions.

Clearly some sociological / philosophical differentiation from the west is
even greater here that the rest of Asia. We can bemoan it, but only slow,
gradual time will change it. In this case the young, learning of the better way,
accepting it over time, and the old dinosaurs dying off and being replaced
by modern thinkers.

Laws such as this proposal can only be seen as a death-throe of the old ways,
trying to claw back for one more shot, and likely the pendulum will swing back
the other way soon. We still have far too many dinosaurs and junior dinos in power.
