D8: he's another Thaksin flunky who will bring nothing to this country. It's about time there was radicle change in Thai politics. Until this country (my home for the past 8 years), rids itself of all these self-serving, so called politicians, it's going nowhere. You may be brainwashed, I am not!

A question for the moderating team.

Hi,

I have just noticed that messages cannot be sent to I-phones and similar devices. Is this a part of the Bangkok Post programming, or just a feature of I-phones ? Just curious.

Thank you in advance,
Alexander.

D2. In my opinion sarcasm such as you have shown towards your host country, is a direct reflection of your character.
Mr Chaturon obviously has a much higher standing than you would like to admit.

Suan Dusit doesn't have any information on this Poll, none. Maybe the poll wasn't even from Suan Dusit but another polling agency.

'The pollsters at Suan Dusit Rajabhat University did not give details on when the survey was carried out or how many people involved'.

What a farce ! How much did Mr Chaturon pay for this more than useless survey ? A University ? Only in Thailand.

the problem about thai politics,if you are caught abusing your trusted position and have unusual wealth thru corruption ,you serve a 5 year ban,and then all is forgiven and allowed back to continue to serve as a politican.This 5 year ban is a mockery of ethics and up standing people,no wonder thai politics is riddled with graft and then allowed to contiue,a ban is for life in all other countries and should be applied here if the people are serious about stopping corruption

Why not someone younger, more intelligent? Someone with no axe to grind, who wants to work for the betterment of his fellow Thai? Somebody bright, articulate, charismatic, with vision and no hidden agenda? Oops! Sorry, I forgot I was in Thailand!
