  • Thailand’s rapidly changing culture Part 5

    Posted on September 9, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Other changes were being seen as well as even some Thai monks were being seduced off the path of monkhood. This however for the most part is still seen as scandalous as Thais have not forgotten their roots, but simply see it as use as needed. If a Thai goes upcountry they emulate the behavior of their parents and people in their village. So that says the behavior seen in the urban areas is much about emulation to fit in as well.

  • Thailand’s rapidly changing culture Part 3

    Posted on September 7, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Things were changing so quickly in or around 2006 the Thai Government set the Ministry of Culture into less of a passive position and into a much more aggressive posture to try to stem the change. However most Thais saw that as being both outdated and also being intrusive into their lives. It seemed the ministry was not trying to wind things back to 1999, it seemed they were targeting 1899 and that caused the Ministry to be widely ignored. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

  • Thailand’s rapidly changing culture Part 1

    Posted on September 5, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Classic Thai culture

    Cultural change for the most part is gradual. The way people guide their lives and make choices is largely influenced by culture. It can take centuries or more for cultural behavior to evolve noticeably. However in the case of Thailand, cultural change since the turn of the millennium has been much more than the entire proceeding millennium. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

  • 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.

  • Yingluck’s dance with the devil

    Posted on January 14, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    When you do things for Thaksin Shinawatra being his kin or not, you almost always find yourself getting the short and nasty end of the stick while he is untouched. Add to that he is also unconcerned about your well being and sees you is a tool for his own agenda. This is a classic signature of Thaksin to use people for his own benefit and discard them when they are no longer useful. Now Yingluck must face the music for failing to stop a rice pledging scheme that was so corrupt, it nearly caused Thailand to go bankrupt. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

  • Corrupt Thais plan counter move against reform

    Posted on July 25, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Although it has not been in the news, there is plenty of back room talk amongst corrupt Thai politicians as to how to counter the military’s push to clean up Thailand’s corruption. Much of their hopes are pinned on the mandatory retirement of the Coup leading General in a few months. However that too seems to be questionable in that signs point to the General picking up the ball as the interim Prime Minister once things get to the next step. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

  • The good side of Thaksin Shinawatra

    Posted on July 7, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    For the most part, people that are Anti-Thaksin would have a hard time with the title of this entry, and an even harder time trying to read it without rolling their eyes or spouting out colorful words. But the fact of the matter is there is a good side to everything as even the most vile creatures of nature have a reason and a place. This entry looks to set out and explore how Thaksin fits into that mix. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

  • 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.

  • Thailand’s vote buying neutralizer

    Posted on June 6, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Vote buying neutralizer

    A vote buying neutralizer certainly sounds fantastic and a bit hard to believe, particularly so for a country that suffers from it. However Thailand now has the opportunity to actually install just such a neutralizer as a direct result of the opportunities political reform offers. All things considered all Thais want this, that is except for the self serving politicians who would buy votes to get into office. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

    Over the past three years, Thaksin Shinawatra has inadvertently shown people how to keep him away from Thai politics and minimize or eliminate his influence in Thailand. Until now it was only guesswork, but now Thaksin has shown his hand and there is little doubt left as to how to neutralize him. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

    When you strip away the names and personalities from Thailand’s political unrest, you are simply left with the un-flavored reality of what the unrest is all about. It all comes down to corruption bleeding away tax revenues that result in Thailand and the Thai people never having the money needed to get ahead. Continue reading → Post ID 15830

    With Thaksin Shinawatra, people regularly take a fall for him while he manages to stay clear and free of direct involvement. It does not matter who it is as Thaksin just uses them for his own personal gain. Once they are used up, he simply finds someone new and it does not matter if it is a sibling or not.
