Talk:Thai Rak Thai Party

message: I must confess, I've always translated "Thai Raak Thai" to "Thais Love Thailand."  Which is right?  --AStanhope 16:37, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Linguistically I think that they're both possible, though my understanding has always been that it was "love Thais".  I suspect that most Thais would never distinguish the two anyway. Mark1 17:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Thais Love Thais" or "Thais Love Thailand" ? 

message: Where is this "Thai Unity" thing coming from?  The party is always known in English  as "Thai Rak Thai", which can't really be translated as anything other than "Thai(s) Love Thai(s)". Jpatokal 08:45, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd never heard of this translation, but Google does turn up a couple of pages of results from some respectable sources: .  Perhaps it's worth mentioning as "also known as...". Mark1 11:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: One of the links Google throws up translates the defunct Ruam Thai party as "Thao Unity"... Jpatokal 01:41, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please discuss before deleting anything! 

message: In the initial paragraph in the article Thailand one can read "The word Thai (ไทย) means "freedom" in the Thai language". Would it be possible to translate Thai Rak Thai (ไทยรักไทย) as "Thais Love Freedom", rather than "Thais Loves Thais"? -- Domino theory 10:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Freedom 

message: I removed the sources tag at the top of the factions section. I believe its sufficiently sourced to not need a section wide tag. If you disagree please post on my talk page. If certain sections still need sourcing, please individually tag them. --NuclearUmpf 13:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Factions -> Sources

message: This paragraph reads as strongly biased, to my mind. 
Many of these TRT members need to be prosecuted for their party allowing the massacre of thousands of Thai people. They should also be prosecuted for manipulating their political role in order to make personal financial gain and neglecting their nation's interests. All 111 members should have their assets frozen worldwide by a Mareva style injunction 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mareva_injunction ) unpinned with an Anton Piller style Order ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Piller_order ) until the out come of such prosecutions. It would seem probable that an extensive percentage of their assets will be seized and used to benefit the future advancement of Thailand and its' people. The Thai Inland Revenue should enforce matters with freezing Orders served upon banks world-wide. There are 1000s of millions of baht to recover.
An edit to regain the NPOV seems in order. BunnyMAu 04:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Trtp-logo.jpg

message: In the History section, it is claimed that the TRT party won "248 of 500 seats... an absolute majority". IIRC, doesn't one need 50%+1 to secure an absolute majority? That would imply that the TRT would have needed 251 seats for an absolute majority. Random89 04:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  First general election 

message: From reading this, I can't tell any basic facts about the party such as if it is left or right wing. Awful. ʄ!•¿talk? 13:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Terrible article 

message: At least a link to the logo would be nice, as it is a nice logo, as it that of For Thai. BTW, I always cringe when I see the English plural -s added to Thai. We also have a problem in that this article and discussion no where state that ร in RAK is pronounced LAK (at least not until now.) Thai can trill an r, but seldom bother. --Pawyilee (talk) 10:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
