Non-voting advice

-

So another by-election is upon us and the candidates are doing their usual thing of slapping up posters all over the place which, in many cases, impedes a driver’s view of traffic coming off another street.

They also hire trucks mounted with the largest and noisiest speakers they can find and blare out their spiel on a daily basis. But here in the Laksi area, one candidate has taken it a step further. This candidate feels that people should start hearing his mindless noise (vote for beure jet, vote for beure jet, vote for beure jet) starting at 7.30am and it is annoying to say the least.

So what to do? Well, my Thai wife is always asking me who to vote for when elections roll around since I am more knowledgea­ble about the candidates than she is. So I advise her. This time around, I am advising her of who not to vote for and I am sure many others in my developmen­t feel the same way. MAI VOTE
