That’s what I mean by “nature”. Que sera sera!

So calm down and let nature take its course.
Nature ?

Anyway. I believe that open information and public scrutiny are the best solutions. People should be informed.

It’s enough of those stupid little secrets that eventually fuel the rumors machine, over and over again.

Times of secrecy seem to be over. We don’t like it ? We regret the good old days ? Well, it’s the same price.

Now with Internet, a reader can tell us that he saw prince’s aircraft at the airport in Munich. We can cross informations with local medias, all over the world.

So eventually, it highlights the strange ways of doing of thai medias. And eventually, and unfortutanly, it deserves the royal family.

To be a public figure without public scrutiny… just can’t work anymore.

Surely, Thailand might be willing to avoid this reality… But the question is : is it possible ?

msot: “like the rest of us” – we all most certainly do not require critical attention. Most of us are not public figures and nor do we take billions of whatever currency from state coffers to support us.

Dear Reg, I am not referring to illegitimacy by any means. My point is that, the way things are, there is nothing you can do about it, critical attention or not. So calm down and let nature take its course.

Your last sentence says it all, Reg. Although we might amend to “like the rest of us”.

manning – imitation? you mean he’s an illegitimate royal? He may not be to your taste, but he sure costs the Thai taxpayer a fortune! The whole family does! So he deserves critical attention, just like the rest of his family.

Don’t waste your attention on this completely useless imitation of a royal.

Srithanonchai : Dead silence on the Crown Prince’s trip. Same thing last year and well we know what kind of speculation there is.

You have to wonder with the daily 20 minute Royal News and over two to three months, why can’t they fit in a couple of minute segment? I swear one of the other royals was in the region recently.
