Thailand: Coup anniversay reveals its two faces

They sum up the two faces of Thailand. One demonstration, by tens of thousands of "Red Shirts" in Bangkok, was organised in order to continue the demand for full democracy.

The true meaning of coup is not to restore order for Thailand. It's a violent rob.

[Sukhothai Son]

Its design to protect the rich BKK people esp. the royal family. Oh we stole their crown, land and culture and called it ours. We need more coup we cant let them real Tai people have it back....we want to rule the world.

That it's? Try harder!

Since His Majesty's accession to the throne 52 years ago, not once have the sufferings of the Thai people been unknown to him, nor ignored. The royal initiatives in over 4,000 projects reflect His Majesty's concerns over the well being of his subjects, especially the farmers who are the majority and yet the poorest. Whether the project is agriculture, irrigation, forestry, the environment, etc., His Majesty's love for the Thai people is abundant and readily apparent. The purpose of his projects has been to teach people the essentials of technical, self-sufficient and environmentally friendly farming. His Majesty's whishes to help the people in the remote areas has reached no greater success than with the support of Her Majesty the Queen's project on the "Promotion of Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques" (SUPPORT). Under the SUPPORT Project, the farmers families are trained in craftsmanship so they can spend time making handcrafted projects for sale. By making handcraftes, insted of playing and gambling, the family's income is raised and the individual's self-esteem is improved. The SUPPORT Project has become so successful that these products are not only popular for domestic use, but also provide a welcome source of exports for Thailand.

One of the royal projects is to take Akha Land.

THEY CREATED THEIR OWN BLOOD ...THATS WHY THEY ARE RED SHIRTS... THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IN MOA'S ARMY OF IGNORANCE AND DESTRUCTION OF CHINESE CULTURE...THE THAI'S RED REVOLUTION...SCARY!!!

[One Man One Vote]

When Abhisit Vejjajiva went to USA last month, did he tell US people their democracy is outdated?

They should learn from Thailand that a coup is needed every few years.

If there's no coup, there's no democracy.

What will happen in the US if US military stage a coup?

[Sukhothai Son]

How the hell the US military can stage a coup. Everyone from high to low are checked by laws and constitution. Only majority vote by congress by request from president can US enter war. You see US has a true democracy where its citizens are the voices. No one is above the law here. Every generals of military braches can not act without congress approval unlike Thailand where only the rich has rights. And they are protected by the king and military which can act on their own. This is call dictatorship and its complete bullshits.

Thailand has better democracy than the US.
If the party the military wants becomes government, no problem.
If the party the military doesn't want becomes government, a coup is next.
US must learn from Thailand. Coups make Thailand a rich country like you see today. US is poorer than Thailand.

[Ungrateful Chinese siam]

Thai Army run the government. It does not matter what government. It just that Jek yellow turds and Jek King of Siam has more money and established themselves. They are not going anywhere.
The Army hides behind Jek and Jek Kings money and face.

[Student]

True, coward Thai army runs the country using guns from our tax.

[Ungrateful chinese siam]

Jek are using the Isan soldiers to kill other Thais citizen and the people neighboring countries. Now the real Thais people from Lanna(Tai/Lao),Esan(Tai/Lao), are taking the blame and the insults from other countries.

Jek in Bangkok has put Tai/Lao of Isan,and Tai/Lao of Lanna, and SukhaTai Siam to be ashamed to be our race.
