We lost in Thailand yet again....P and his mates are devastated. The rich, the Bangkok elite and the powerful always get their way. We thought that this time, maybe.....

This is all so depressing, and predictable.

At least we, as visitors can shrug it off and carry on with our favorite hobby.

Thank you for saying this. Never mind the visitors; there are farang who live in Thailand who exhibit a similar callous or that "I'm alright, Jack" attitude. I guess they don't want to see social progress for the poor and the downtrodden as they'd run out of prostitutes to fuck them.

Please explain? I didn't know that voters had to declare income levels?

Looks that progressives did well in big centers where generally population is  better of and Anutin did well in provinces where people are not exactly consumers of lattes and craft beers

You make profound statements with no source material. Is this just your conclusion?

trip report may be problematic as it looks first 2 weeks after returning home I will be busy with other stuff but I will see what I can do. 

As for 2029 , treat it as sure thing, 2027 and  2028 are in the same  category , another trip in 2026 remains under BIG question mark and it will depend purely on economic factors.
