» Five activists were indicted this week on charges of attempted violence against HM the Queen during a demonstration last year, when a royal motorcade encountered dozens of protesters. The charges are very serious and if guilty, the protesters would be jailed for at least 16 years (BP, April 1).
Unwarranted charge

» After reading the forward vision of Bank of Thailand governor, Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput, a few of us are a bit concerned. Is this a pretext of what's to come? Case and point: the Thai Military Bank has decided to engage in an "excessive fee" (for any tourist, businessman, employer, employee or expat) when making a withdrawal from an international overseas account via an ATM machine.
An 'abominable' act

» With regard to the trouble THAI is in, you cannot accuse politicians of interfering in the national airline. It is their job. Since THAI is majority-owned by the government, the government has a strong say in how to run THAI. Who is the government? At the top are the politicians who are in power. Rather, you are talking about the change in direction or inconsistency of policy at THAI when governments or those politicians in power change.

» Having lived in Thailand for nearly 20 years, first as a visitor and then as a 15-year property owner, like any resident the words I fear most come when the government proclaims "full control" of a situation. It has been in "full control" during past droughts and floods, of air quality over time, and of the general well-being of all Thai people -- with dubious results each time.
