The contributors to this site who seem to find the democratically elected and illegaly removed Prime Minister of Thailand responsible for all the ills facing the country are becoming so bizarre,and so consistent in thier shortsighted silliness I can only assume they are being paid.

This is what happens when the PM from far away , gets to be a convicted criminal and still gets to stand over people and run the country via proxy , so as to continue where he had left off , so to speak ?
Teriffic example or ?
What law , and what moral compass exactly ?
Thailand is fast turning into a lawless criminal free for all !
Well done taxsin/yingluck/ptp , now that`s working hard for the country ?
Kama says it`s time for some big changes in Thailand !
taxsin/yingluck and their ptp must go !

I am surprised that one can become a monk without a background check, I guess such measures are just reserved for farangs.
