  1. As a Thai, I am totally fed up with all the red shirt rubbish on this forum, particularly those comments posted by those farangs who are sympathetic to the redshirt cause.

    Who are the protesters? They are certainly not the bulk of the redshirt supporters, the majority of whom do not pay taxes, farmers for example. Some might do but the majority do not. The protesters under the PRDC are in the main Thai taxpayers of Thailand whose funds are being ripped off by this putrid government. As a taxpayer myself, I have absolutely had enough. Corruption has gone too far. In 1999, the rate of corruption in public works was between 5 to 7%. It has now become unsustainable. Since the start of the Thaksin regimes in 2001, the corruption rate in public works rose in 2001 to 15-20% while now it is between 35 to 40 %. No wonder we, the taxpayers of Thailand, are up in arms.

    In addition, the Thai police have become an arm of the Thaksin family rather than a proper law enforcement agency. The are a joke and a disgrace to their profession. I understand from some friends who are participating in the protests that the PDRC do not trust the RTP and it is no wonder. They are totally incompetent.

    While I do not agree with Khun Sutep's methods, I do believe that he might, just might, be the catalyst for change with the end result that my country may be able to return to some kind of normalcy. Most of us taxpayers really hope so.

    I'm Farang and I'm totally 100% with you

    Corruption affect some farang too in Thailand
