I doubt that you speak English as a primary language. That is evident from the nuances of how you address concerns.
Thaksin was a consummate Thai politician. Give the people something and collect as much as possible for himself. Not that it is much different anywhere else, just that the Thai are better at accepting the reality.
The bombing was evidently not a redshirt activity. The pix of the guy don't even LOOK THAI. I'm going back for another month in October. I have more SENSE that to go where crowds are (except Pattaya).
One major problem is that the water levels are lower than they need to be to water the fields. That will drive up food prices and the higher costs will affect tourism as a result.

Secondly ask a few other people, Thais, for example Giles Ugnaporn what he thinks of Voldemort and the present fake government. Then come back and we can have a sensible discussion. OK?

Posts: 88Media Reports 17% decrease in Tourism
Media Reports 17% decrease in Tourism (foreigners).
International media is reporting 5% to 17% decline in tourism to Thailand since the Bangkok bomb. Add the fact that the Chinese stock markets are in limbo and their losing their shirts.
I guess the The Philippines will be the new mecca?
Is it business as usual in Bangkok as the junta says?

Build a dam. Not working - (the King want to help him.).
Airport 6 Month after the opening. They had to repair.
Rice Programm...
Tablets...
1. Car Buyers.
Only 1 man profits most of all this. Thaksin and his Followers. For sure not the poor Farmers. They have now more dept than ever!
So hurrah this kind of Democracy by People only looking for the Poor in Isaan / Chiangmai / Udon. And Thaksin owns now about 3 Billion USD!
and the last Point - yes the Army is here to prevent a civil war - this crazy Redshirts bombing around and from a Army of at least 100T man - they speak about 600T..
and it's not the first time that there leaders tell the Poeple to burn down Bangkok -of course in a peaceful demoratic way.... 555

For example, it is provable that democracy induces short-time-orientedness, which is what economists call a high discount factor: long-term capital investments are sacrificed in favor of squeezing out immediate dividends. This is no way to run a country if you care about its future.
There is also the iron law of oligarchy, which states that in a democracy the majority of voters are influenced by a small clique of opinion-moulders, while in a monarchy the king can only govern with the consent of an extended entourage of bureaucratic managers, so in the end the size of the effective ruling class is pretty much a constant.
In any case, you will have a hard time convincing me, and probably anybody else for that matter, that the same political system (in this case: democracy) is optimal for all of the 193 different countries in the world and for all the centuries to come. I mean, is your real name Francis Fukuyama?
