Sondhi Limthongkul faces a suspended sentence and may not be able to lead the protest, will this affect the PAD leaders?

Quote

(Reuters) - A firebrand media mogul and leader of Thailand's royalist "yellow shirts" protest movement was jailed on Tuesday for 20 years for securities fraud, but immediately bailed on appeal.

The Criminal Court sentenced Sondhi Limthongkul, who led protests in 2005, 2006 and 2008 that undermined two elected governments led or backed by ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, to a total of 85 years in prison, but commuted the term twice to 20 years.......................

...................It was the fourth time that Sondhi, 64, the charismatic leader of the yellow-shirted People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) had been jailed by a top court but released on bail pending appeals.

He appealed. It's pending.

Seems the Brits are putting a spin on the critical comments of the outgoing ambassador. I think the praise implied for all those selfless health workers who laboured so hard and so long and averted plagues and epidemics is totally warranted. Well done guys. The phuyais had absolutely nothing to do with it and didn't even commend them for their magnificent efforts. Shame on them! And shame on the TV headline writers - just for once could you get a headlne right? It's not as if this is a newspaper where your headline is limited by the space available. It's the internet. For krissake get the headlines right, even if they have to be a bit longer.

A woman I know first sold her daughter to a 'husband' when she was 13, and after that 'marriage' was annulled because of the girl's age she did it at least twice again before the girl came of age, despite warnings from police. The girl's older now but mum continues to tout her daughter, now demanding she get a farang husband (she's had many hooked but they flee once they learn the hard news about mum's gambling habit). Interestingly, one of her early 'husbands', is now mayor of Pattaya.

Edit: Mispelled 'annulled'. Shock horror. I'm about to be targeted by the spellcheck brigade.

In Topic: TAT To Unveil Miracle Thailand 2012 Campaign

Maybe the TAT powers that be should rethink the word "miracle". It has a very specific, religious meaning to a lot of Catholic Christians. If another country, nominally Christian, started promoting itself by using a specifically Buddhist term, then there are many precedents that show that Thailand, and its government, would be foremost in complaining to the world about the misuse of its religion and its terminology.
