The funny thing is that the people that do have a vote drink at home for the most part, or at least outside the city they do. It'll just mean the village still will have to work overtime for a couple of days. Just another way the Thai bureaucracy tries to look after the people of Thailand.

If I were Thai, I would be screaming about this nonsense. But Thais are trained from birth not to demur. Too much to hope for that 1. Thais will act like grown-ups 2. the Thai government will treat Thais like grow-ups Not this side of hell freezing over I suspect. Essential to keep the drones droning and the worker ants working I suppose, that way the rich get risher and the poor... wll, the poor can like it or lump it.

Too much to hope for that

1. Thais will act like grown-ups
2. the Thai government will treat Thais like grow-ups

Not this side of hell freezing over I suspect. Essential to keep the drones droning and the worker ants working I suppose, that way the rich get risher and the poor… wll, the poor can like it or lump it.
