The Thais have come thru plenty of troubles over the past 80 years
(read "The King Never Smiles").

They will get thru this.

Yes, most likely they will since they are quite adept at adapting to problems using their famous "mai pen rai" rather than attempting to solve them at any level. Just look at the traffic in Bangkok and how locals are quite happy commuting for two plus hours both ways an a daily basis (just one example).

The Khmers also got thru the Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge period, but that didn't make it any less serious or tragic.

Anyway, I'd still like to predict it just in case it actually happens.

But as the worlds longest serving monarch and wishing him longevity but how will his passing accelerate things in a negative way?

The main reason that they "have come thru plenty of troubles" is the stabilizing influence of the king. Once this anchor is gone, things may become more chaotic.

Ultimately though, that's is just one factor. The political problems, social divisions and economic weaknesses are already present and will likely be compounded once the big event occurs.

Finally, there is the question of succession, which you can read about below (don't just read the headline):

Any other members out there with crystal balls ?

Only 12 days left till the new year, and it looks like all my predictions for 2015 all came true. I am just waiting for the batteries in my crystal ball to charge up and we can get into the predicting what will happen in 2016.

Wow ,, I should get into the fortune telling business. 99 % of my predictions for 2016 came true. Now I'm in the process of recharging my crystal balls and giving them a good polish .

Anyone want their fortune told for the 2017 year ?

My prediction for 2017 is Jamie will finally find a suitable partner to marry and a kid will be on the way......
