The Country’s Pride

Found this really nice collage on BangkokBugle.

Thailand's Pride and Joy

Thailand's Pride and Joy

Awesome. Good job redshit.



Back to normal

Or at least that’s what we’re being assured by the government.

I am in awe at how incompetent our police and soldiers and law enforcers are. I mean I have always known they are useless to some extend, but really to have your fire trucks, public buses and army tanks climbed on and hijacked so easily, how can we ever feel safe in this city?

Two days ago we were out shopping at Tha Prachan when I was told the tanks were coming to the area and that state of emergency was declared. And I tell you we were just on the Chor Por Ror and Phitsanulok just at most 30 minutes before it all started but somehow all the way back into the city we found these roads all blocked and flocked with our nation’s finest rednecks.

To be able to block such big roads is such little time is amazing. What did the cops do, just watched? What did the soldiers do when they started climbing the tanks, just watched?

Amazing Thailand really, I am impressed by how awfully incompetent this whole nation is.

OK, thanks to Marky who finally made those soldiers do their job, I’m glad it all worked out with no casualties–at least not by the hands of the government’s side.

And really do you really believe they were for real when they “surrendered”. Come on, don’t let this stupidity drag on.

It’s come to the point that I wonder why Thaksin is still alive. His daughter is on Facebook, along with hundreds, even thousands, of other twenty-something Bangkokians whom her dad pissed off this week, I am sure he’s not that hard to find, especially when she keeps updating her status about what she’s doing and where, and at times complete with pictures of herself and daddy.

One other thing that pissed me off. Where the fuck was the PAD? You guys were all balls when it was your turn, closing down airports and things, but when your enemies were out torching buses, where were you? Watching the whole ordeal in the comfort of your Hua Hin resort homes?

This country pisses me off each day I grow older.



Holiday, Celebrate

So Marky Mark just declared April 10 a holiday. It’s not like this year’s Songkran is going to be any safer, more of a morally festive event than before. It’s just another excuse for these protesters to go crazy.

I am annoyed.

When I was away in Cha-am last weekend, it was raining out so I was stuck at the resort with a news freak who couldn’t stop watching BBC.

And what did I see? Protests, protests and protests. Strasbourg, London, etc. People are protesting everywhere.

OK burning buildings and wrecking cars aren’t exactly a model conduct but at least they had a real purpose or goal for their protests. For our beloved colored-shirted crowd? Not so much.

People are blaming the UDD for crippling Bangkok today and how stupid they are for doing so. Hello? Don’t you remember the Suvarnabhumi incident? Or now that the yellows won it was all forgiven?

My mom’s cousin and her husband are here honeymooning. Instead of a tour of Wat Prakaew and the beautiful Rattanakosin Island, where did they end up? Siam Paragon then stuck in a taxi for another two and a half hours.

Fuck this shit. I mean seriously. Why don’t you reds and yellows just battle it out. Give these teams a designated space, and just let them go wild at each other. No interference from police, military, government, NO ONE, and see what happens. Idiots will cancel each other out and the civilized ones will survive and continue to evolve.

I’m sorry but seriously, among those 3,000 people in the streets of Bangkok, how many of them actually truly honestly give a shit about what is being protested and not what is being told to them. Heck, my maids were just there for free food and celebrity appearances at first but now that they’d been fed with constant vocal propaganda each time they queued for their bowl of noodles, they now can’t seem to stop praising the cause and The Man. Look at the street vendors selling the red shirts and headbands. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the same ones selling yellow shirts and clappers a few months ago.

Stop being such a sheep. If you don’t really know what each side represents then don’t fucking join the march. It annoys us colorless crowd.

Thanks for the holiday but I’d rather be working than being confined and confused in my own city.



Like fuck

We’re on CNN! When CNN and BBC are showing attack footages from Thailand with words like “crisis” and “killed” across the screen, it’s shit.

Why?

The world is now getting all freaked out.

Fuck man. This is ridiculous.



One thing

I’ve been trying to avoid saying something about them the whole day, but seriously..

Isn’t the airport supposed to be like the most secured place in any country? And yet, this mustards can just easily barge in.

What if they were a group of armed militants instead of aunties with clappers?

How could a once simple and goal-oriented anti-Thaksin rally turn into an idiot convention?

Are you there too, Mr. Anonymous? I heard Suvarnabhumi has a pretty speedy free wifi.
