"And the amnesty law must distinguish between protest leaders and regular people...."

Well there goes another basic priciple of democracy.

There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity -- the law of nature and of nations.  Edmund Burke

I think he's referring to "regular people who just happened to be there" and "protest leaders who organised and incited the regular people".

The followers should be given amnesty, and the organisers / inciters shouldn't.
A law can be applied proportionally to degree of responsibility and participation, but should be applied to all. Even if it was merely a reprimand for civil disobedience, the message that this was NOT the right thing to do has to be proclaimed.

But in the view of millions of Thais the redshirt protest was the right thing, a entirely justifiable stand against anti democratic forces - in the tradition of 1973,1976 and 1992.This was also the view shared around the civilised world.So please do not assume that your distorted morality is taken as the norm.
Paleeees In the view of other millions of Thais the coup was the right thing to do to stop Thaskin in his tracts. Nothing more! Thaskin didn't like getting spanked and has refused to trust the legal system Why? Because they can't be bought like votes seemingly can or promised things that don't amount to squat. The view shared around the civilized world? (What world are you talking about?) From the news media? That's a laugh.

ok just get a new passport,easy and you can start over.

Is that correct/ Wouldn't immigration computers track your visits/visas by name in passport?
Yes they do and will. A new passport does not erase your immigration history.
Even with the best intentions some advice like this can be harmful.

I stayed at the On On the first time in Jan 1972. I met my first bedbug there. The island has been going downhill ever since. I wouldn't go to Phuket if you paid me - a lot!

Me too! I vowed back in 1998 never to return to Phuket. Well I did last year and regretted doing so. I remember when there was just a string of bungalow operations behind the beaches.

Let this article be a lesson to those of you who want to retire in Thailand: what happens when you get really old?
What? that the Thai people and the authorities look out for this old guy and cared? Phuket might be as you say but most people will look out for the old and disabled. I plan on getting old here and taking my last breath here. I know a few expats that have died here and there was no drama or gold digging nor any scams by anyone. Just a lot of expressions of love and respect as I see in this article. With the amount of money that was reported I see no one fleecing this senior citizen.

I don't personally know the man but have dined in his restaurant many times. The food and service was really quite nice.
RIP
