However, Prayuth said he will not file a libel charge against Jatuporn given it will only be a waste of the court's time.

That about sums it up. Not worth agitating the red thugs, and anytime Jatuporn opens his mouth, be careful no to be downwind.

This is who the Thai people voted for..... :rolleyes:

This is who some of the the Thai people were paid to vote for :P

What all of them ?

Why are so many people champions of the elitist and even more unfair, corrupt system that was in place before the reds were democratically voted in ?

I will be very happy to see him back.

This government has done nothing for us. I think that corruption is the number 1 problem here from small time street vendors right up to Government officials and Army allowing drugs to come into my country. When they let them in, they get richer. The way to stop or at least begin to stop corruptin in Thailand is to give good salaries and so people can live good life. This way there will be less chance of corruptions. When my childrens come from University they can only get low paying jobs. If children can finish University and get a good job that give them enough money to live a decent life then it will help their journy in life to take the middle path and go away from direction of corruption.

I am 50 year Thai and think government must start with:

  • Education at International standards for ALL Thai. Not only rich. English language must be good.
  • Good health care for ALL Thai people.
  • Thailand MUST have good internet if we want to compete Internationally.
  • Labor standards to be set so people can be to make good money for future
  • Stop corruption in Thailand at the same time as raising salaries.
  • Stop drugs here and even if people need to die. The drug dealers will know a law and if continue then they know have death penalty.
  • Have better anf fast system set up to help victoms of disasters because it seems to happen more these days.
  • Make peace with our neighbours even if it mean to give temple rights away in Cambodia and allow access for tourist.
I also have many foreign friend who complain about the visa rules etc so maybe if government can take the fee for visas and apply it direct to Education or war on drugs then the foreigner can feel good about where the visa money goes.

I know in the world all government have corruption but when Thaksin was our PM he did not hide it like many other governments. I can accept this. Maybe if Abhisit have more money and experience he could have done the good job but it is proved that he did not and he have his chance already.

It's good to see that 50-year-old Thais educated enough to have a perfect command of English are empassioned enough about Thai politics to conclusively put down their political thoughts on a first-ever Thavisa post along with a series of suggestions to fix Thailand's problems. Did you know that your bullet points are almost exactly Thaksin's own ideas, word for word? I can see why you would vote for him.

But, hang on, you're saying that corruption is bad, and then you're saying that Thaksin was nice and open about it. You want to get rid of corruption but want the most corrupt guy at the head of your country? That doesn't seem to make sense to me. You talk about drugs and corruption, referencing the army and government. But Thaksin oversaw this whole operation, and he didn't want to change it back then - he just wanted his share. Some might argue that he was kicked out because he wanted more than his share.

And I agree, drug dealers are the scum of the earth. They are all murderers, pimps and rapists and they all deserve to die; it's a myth that the network of drug dealing is full of victims of social circumstances. And those drug mules in particular should be subject to death by genital electrocution. But, hang on, the most recent investigation - you know, the one first shelved by Thaksin and then by the Samak administration - show that less than half of the people killed had any ties whatsoever with the drug industry. Would a collateral damage rate of 60%+ be acceptable to you in the next war on drugs?

You make a lot of interesting points in your post, much like the Quadrangled Prophet himself, but really no indication of how it's going to be executed.
'You want to get rid of corruption but want the most corrupt guy at the head of your country' I thought he was already ?  Well Deputy then

I managed to find a secret dossier photo of the Thai weather warning system, and must admit they are advancing their technology quite rapidly, although surely more string should have been utilised ?

Bit of a no brainer really, Abhisit should have renounced his UK connection long before becoming pm.

It's a great campaign leader for PT and the reds, they certainly will not let go.

absolutely - the leader of a country being a citizen of another? what is/was he thinking?

Hmmm, I guess that means the head (Queen Elizabeth) of my country (Canada) should renounce her UK citizenship :o
She is not and has never or ever will claim to be a Canadian citizen ?

It depends really.

He was born in the UK before 1983, which gives him the right to claim UK citizenship, even though both his parents were Thai.

If he's never claimed UK citizenship - i.e. never applied for a passport etc. there's not really much he can give up. He can't go back in time and change where and when he was born.

He doesn't have to 'claim UK citizenship' he was a UK citizen the moment he was born. Therein is the answer, he is a UK citizen
