Most likely accurate information in these videos,,,, Thailand may have never been tourist friendly ... but if it was it was a very long time ago, I often wonder why people come to Thailand,, I'm thinking the answer must be they don't know the truth yet.

PAID TO POST

The convicted criminal Thaksin Shinawatra is using TOPIX as a format for PAID TO POST, using primarily refugees or Phuea Thai politician children that study abroad to post derogatory comments about the Royal Family or spread red shirt propaganda. Please go to Human rights watch and see how he abuses media for his gains. Window Watcher, CCP, Mickey Mouse, Ungrateful Siam Chinese, Go Blue are all part of this PAY TO POST conspiracy.

The American and the British marines look scared in this videos. They look like whimps.

If that was American or England. JJ would be eating oatmeal through a straw by now.

Its understandable, because Thailand is not a true democracy. Its corrupted democracy.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Aquarius

Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
