  • Water war has started

    Posted on March 24, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Fighting, violence and death over water has started. People are starting to kill each other over water, and it will only get worse. What was once in ample supply is now something people will fight and die over. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

  • Mention Thaksin and anxiety spikes

    Posted on January 4, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Despite all the efforts to bring calm to Thailand’s political conflict, just the mention of Thaksin Shinawatra and anxiety levels spike. Unfortunately that means that despite all the efforts to bring a lasting political calm, this anxiety reaction means that whatever calm is being seen is not genuine, and political unrest is only being repressed.

  • Thaksin wants in but Prayut says no

    Posted on February 24, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    It is starting to come right down to digging in against Thaksin’s insistence that he is still a player in Thailand’s politics. But the fact of the matter is that is unlikely that will happen. There are a series of dots that spell that out very clearly. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

    Posted on February 17, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    As Thaksin and his team have been silenced by Thailand’s martial law, they have once again employed others to do their work for them. By seeking out reputable people to speak for them they have succeeded in getting past the junta’s mute button. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

  • Fractures in pro-Thaksin camp showing

    Posted on January 27, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    Leading up to and after former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s impeachment, signs of fractures were becoming very obvious. To the trained eye, Thaksin Shinawatra either can not or will not keep his supporters on the same page and singing the same song. If the fractures are this obvious to the media, what is really going on behind close doors must be Thai drama at it’s finest. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

    Posted on January 13, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    When you read the title of this entry it can both provoke anger and curiosity. But if you read into it and connect all the dots, you will start to see an encouraging shift towards more responsible journalism. The reason for this is some Thai journalists seem more interested in provoking a reaction than to presenting balanced reporting of the news. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

  • Thaksin spin doctors at work

    Posted on December 29, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    It does not take much to spot the work of Thaksin’s spin doctors. The easiest way to spot them is what they say goes opposite of what the public opinion polls are showing. With about 80% of all Thais in support of the efforts of the interim Government, seeing someone bad mouth them is like finding a lemon in a box of chocolates. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

    Posted on October 15, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Subtle hints of Thaksin working behind the scenes to resume where he left off are finding their way into the news. The reports are increasing in frequency and gradually taking on a more political tone. The only thing that is keeping Thaksin’s volume down is Martial Law, and that is entirely the reason Martial law is being kept in place. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

  • Thailand’s Martial law keeps Thaksin in check

    Posted on September 23, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    More than 4 months after the May 2014 coup, you may expect some easing of military muscle as Thailand trends back towards democracy. But to many Thais, they recognize that Martial law for now is the best option to let Thailand heal simply because corrupt Thais don’t want to see the end of the status quo. To let the anti-corruption laws and procedures come into effect without sabotage is the quickest and best road for Thailand.

  • Thaksin’s cronies bruised egos on display

    Posted on June 27, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Seeing the more or less official launch of an Anti Thai Junta organization by Thaksin cronies, it leaves you wondering as to why this may happen seeing the present behavior of the Thai people is supportive of the Junta. The Thai people are clearly happier now after the Coup because of ending the ongoing damage being caused by the freshly ousted Pro-Thaksin Government. However if you understand the personalities of these cronies, you can understand the motivation behind this so called anti-Junta organization. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

  • Thailand greatly improved with Junta rule

    Posted on June 26, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    The title of this entry can be a bit deceiving and easily seen as being pro-Junta. However the fact of the matter is the Government the Junta unseated was doing such a bad job, that most anyone who has a good level of competence and basic common sense could have done better than the pro-Thaksin Government they unseated.

  • Majority of Thais disapprove of Thaksin

    Posted on June 24, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    After watching the behavior of the pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai Party (PTP) since they were elected into power, it has become increasingly obvious that serving Thaksin means dis-serving the Thai people. Although no specific pole was conducted addressing this question, other polls are collectively implying that Thaksin’s self serving behavior has cut too deep into the lives of the people of Thailand.

    Posted on June 13, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    No ThaksinAlthough the word Junta is a bad word to many, Thailand’s new Junta is not acting like a Junta at all. Their immediate goal of closing the gap caused by Thaksin seems to be admired by all, and secretly admired by the people who don’t like the word Junta. So perhaps a new word or description needs to be invented to accurately described what those Thai Generals really are. Continue reading → Post ID 15596

This entry will look at that and what generally can be expected and make some predictions as to how that will unfold. Continue reading → Post ID 15596
