Bangkok Post and the Nation's combined readership is nothing. You can't even buy them upcountry.
Thais get their news from TV first, newspapers second. TV is fully controlled by the governement and newspapers got critical of Taksin only recenlty. Even then one of the major Thai dailies didn't report on the first Royal Plaza rally at all. It's more like Zimbabwe than the UK, if you want to compare.
And Taksin's name won't be on any ballot - he's a party list candidate, there will only be a party's name. As for constituency candidates - people have voted for the same MPs forever, no matter what party they are from. That's what Taksin did in his first election - bought all the local big shot MPs en masse, with all their respective parties joining TRT.
As for the South - MPs don't run the show there. They just represent locals in Parlament. All day to day work is done through the unelected governors appointed by Interior Ministry and often sent from outside the area.
MPs can bargain for some budget allocations but Democrats are not in a position to bargain with TRT, and no Democrat will ever be allowed to even try to influence the army and police who suppress the militant uprising there. Even NRC with Anand as a head doesn't have any influence, even poster boy Chaturon couldn't do a thing. It's Taksin all the way.
And, Haha, don't even try to defend "no money for those provinces that didn't vote TRT" policy. Taksin heads the national government living off the taxes collected nationwide. What exactly he's trying to do here, Haha? He's trying something but I don't think you should appload him for that.
regarding the south...
if what you say is true, and there are no elected officials to represent the people down south, then, it just seems logical that a change in the laws need to be implemented to provide for representatives from that area. right?

I just want this country to prosper. that is why I even bother to do my "2 cents".
the only guy I see trying is thaksin. you see him in all the news all the time trying this or that.
haha , could this be due to the ownership & control of the media, rather than the quality of DL ?
those other guys...
...well, all they do is complain.
That's what we call peaceful democratic opposition, tough concept or what ?
I remember reading about that one young guy who pushed through the BTS extension, that was cool. those are the kind of things I like to see politicians engaged in. but he needs to be more pro-active and do more things.
But DL would prefer to spend money on his home-town, rather than the needed improvements in Bangkok, where they don't like him. And has said he won't spend money on areas that don't vote TRT, some responsible PM, huh ?
I mean - why didn't the south get any government help - after the latest floods ? frankly, that's why I like thaksin. he is trying. ..even if he is not successful, he tries.
Agree that he is TRYING, that's why he isn't liked, although I would repeat that this is NOT to say that I don't have great respect for his political skills. Too clever for the country's good.
frankly, those politicians should do more than just go to meetings and state dinners. they should go out there, and talk to the people - focus on projects to overcome problems whereever they might be.
Agreed , we used to call it 'management by walking around' , but I don't mean visiting the countryside with your biker buddies, to hand out 1000-baht notes, and put on your face-cream.
From the comments in this thread, the anti-opposition people, or 'believers in democracy' as they like to portray themselves, think this boycott is childish. They don't seem to comment on DL's refusal to give his own TRT-MPs the chance to vote-with-their-feet, despite which a number of them are doing so, at considerable personal cost.
Personally I believe that, if the game is rigged against you, the only way to win, is to refuse to play.
why no one asks for , why Sonthi wanna fight?
So he lost his TV-programme, for exposing too much corruption, got banned from trying to hold legal public-rallies, had his offices bombed (twice), received death-threats & had to retire to a wat, got sued for a billion baht, had the (legal) sale of his VCDs banned, got called a 'barking dog' by DL, etcetera. So why he want to fight ? Must be a bad loser, or something, or self-interested ?
No - Like many another former Thaksin/TRT-supporter - he has lost faith in DL.
But, although he may have started the ball rolling, he is now just a minor part of the PAD.
in my opinion, complaining without constructive feedback is a waste of time.
as for thaksin "controlling" the media... I don't think he was controlling the nation or the bangkok post. they are part of the media, right?
as for politicians only reserving their focus for their hometowns. well, isn't that the problem with the minority parties? if they would have spent more time with the poor farmers out in the villages, maybe they would have been more of a force in the previous election. if they still haven't figured this out yet, what can you say?
on the problems in the south, you blame thaksin for the problems down there. my question is - where are the politicians who represent that area? why are people not blaming them first for not doing anything? before I would scream at thaksin, I would scream at them to get off their butts and produce. thaksin is only one man.
on sondhi.. I didn't listen to any of his programs. but if he was spreading lies around without any proof to back up his accusations, I would have shut him down too. slander is a criminal offense. if sondhi wants to do something constructive to improve his approach, might I suggest he built a case based on ironclad evidence before opening his mouth. he would get more listeners if he did.
and last but not least... those guys who gave up and decided not to oppose thaksin. well, when they did that, they didn't just give up on themselves, they gave up on the country. this is their country. they should be working with the majority party to fix the problems. not go to some corner and cry. right?

Oh yeah! Blair won because he made "promises" and he was charismatic. Then he employed unelected "spin doctors" like Alistair Campbell to lie 24/7. Your assessment is totally inaccurate unless you include the murder of a respected and honest Doctor who knew there were no WMSD in Iraq as acceptable behavior?
Suicide would be the proper terminology!!!
That was the term used by the government. However, Blair, Campbell, et al denials and their constant public harassment of him, to the point of a mental breakdown, caused his death. That was effectively murder. They did not want it to become public knowledge that he was RIGHT, they wanted to go to war in Iraq, come what may. Public harassment of dissenters of the goverment has been a enduring feature of the Blair regime for many years, with more than one death as a result.
you really don't get it, do you?
someone declared war on the usa. they bombed us. ..for the past 75 years, these islamic fanatics have been murdering americans and british citizens at their leisure.
and then, you say we don't have the right to fight back? the leaders in iraq and afganistan were supporting those a##holes, and you say we shouldn't fight back at those supporting the guys who declared war on us?
and before you say that they never proved that saddam was supporting bin laden. let me remind you that that al zaqawi dude is over there leading the resistence as we speak. what more proof do you need?
yeah. I know. your saying - there were "innocents". so then, what do you think we should do? sit on our butts while those a##holes keep murdering our citizens?
oh. I see, maybe we should walk into their homeland and search door to door for the murderers? is that what you think we should do?
...talking about innocents. there were over 3000 of them on 9/11. why don't you complain to the muslims about their deaths?
how about the innocents murdered in london by those suicide bombers?
now we have these fanatics murdering people over cartoons. and not one complaint out of you on that, right?
if one of those countries drops an atom bomb on us, the next thing I expect to hear from you is quote, "the usa, england and all the western powers deserve it."
we now have some fanatics in iran talking about blowing up people, and you still persist in your criticism on the west?
get real.

I used to think that way.
but a canadian friend explained it to me in simple terms that even I could understand.
here's the scoop....
I've been living in a small studio apartment for 7 years now. I pay about 6k baht a month. one year is 72k baht. 7 years is about 500,000 baht.
now, if I bought a condo for 500,000 baht when I first moved here 7 years ago, I would NOW not have any more rent payments EVER again.
since I plan on living here for at least another 10 years (unless someone kicks me out), I will come out ahead whether I can sell it or not later on. right?
...think about what I said.
There are a few problems. I assume that you are on tourist visas, not on an retirement visa, or workpermit. At the moment it is still rather relaxed with renewing your visas and staying on. His though might change, and you might find yourself in a situation that you have to sell the apartment quickly. You can generally forget about that with a small studio apartment even in a place like Pattaya or Phuket. The apartments that sell there are only in the luxury class.
The real estate market concerning apartments compared to western countries is rather different. Thais do prefer to only buy apartments in new buildings, if they have the choice, where nobody has lived in before. This is partially cultural, due to a religious believe in residue energetic matter (meaning that every person leaves part of his/her emergy behind, which does influence following inhabitants).
There is as well a huge oversupply of apartments, especially in the low range of the market. That makes it even more difficult to resell it if you need to.
There are additional problems with low quality building materials, cost of upkeep that rises the older the apartment block gets.
One very important factor is that things might change. Lets say, for example, you get for some reason a problem with a person living in your apartment block, or some people on the street, a problem that you cannot handle on your own. You get threads, etc. basically, life becomes hel_l. If you rent your apartment, you have the option to pack your stuff, and leave. This can easily happen, i had this sort of situation in the past. One day everything is fine, the next you are in a huge mess. And trust me, if you are not married, and that way part of a large clan, or have lots of reliable Thai friends, you will not win in a conflict against some of the more nasty Thais. And going to the police is often not an option as they are rarely very helpful in those sort of situations (been there - done that, a long time ago before i wizened up, and learned how to take care of myself the Thai way).
You have to be particularly careful also in the lawyer and agent you choose in order to process buying an apartment. There are more crooks in the business of sellng property to farang than honet folks. And be especially aware of farang in that business here in Thailand.
I don't know if you know the page of stickman. There recently was an interview with a farang real estate agent here in Thailand. Personally - the guy was full of shit, trying to sell as much as he can and telling blatant lies about the Thai real estate market, and the international real estate market. He claimed that the rise in value of real estet in Thailand is better than anywhere else, and the beginning investment cheaper than anywhere else. That is a blatant lie in order to get as many farang uneducated about real estate to buy here. My family back in the west happens to be into owning and managing real estate, and we have bought in some western country far cheaper real estate, with far better returns than you could dream of getting in Thailand, plus a far higher rise in value.
And very important in your situation. You mentioned that you have not much money. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose and still have a nice life. Things change in life, you might get some health problem and need fast access to your money, which, if you buy the apartment, is bound up.
The safest place for your money is in a reliable bank. If you don't know exactly what you are doing, you should leave it where it is safest.
I would seriously advise you against buying, especially in your situation. On paper it might look as if you safe money, but reality is unfortunately mostly different than you dream or hope.
If you can live the lifestyle you are happy and comfortable with now, why fix it if it ain't broken? Why expose yourself to many risk factors that give you only a possible small financial gain, but a definate possibility to lose a sizable amount of money, of which you do not have much?
sorry to be off-topic, but i think that this is rather more important than a political debate
after reading many of your postings...
...well, I get this feeling you are really not looking out for my welfare.
...not one bit. right?
frankly, if I were to keel over right now, my guess is you would probably be very happy.
..my 2 cents.
-
my 2 cents...
maybe it is good that these demonstrations came about.
hopefully, politicians will know that they need to help the poor people - somehow.
I still think education is part of the key. ...but am confused with the reasons for the teachers striking.
maybe some more young folks will get interested in politics, and the law to help the country out with their new ideas, and dedication. new blood is good for the country.
foreign investment is in my eyes the solution. but don't understand the reasons for the paranoia that many thais have towards foreign ownership.
anyway, after careful thought, I've pretty much decided to buy a small condo. I think the thais handled themselves pretty well.
yeah. I know. some of you in the back are saying "small condo, big deal." well, for me, it's a lot of money.
..for some reason, I think thailand has a bright future, and I'm willing to contribute with the little I have to offer.
Don't be under the illusion that the demonstration have anything to do with "the poor". The main leaders have no track record whatsoever in caring the slightest bit about the poor. On the opposite - Sondhi has made rather insulting remarks in his speaches regarding the rural poor. Chamlong may live in his religious little dreamland upcountry, but his main support was always city based. They are in for their own profit no less than Thaksin is.
And if buying a small condo in Thailand is a large amount of money for you, i would think more than twice about buying it. If you need to sell it quickly, there is very little chance to ever sell it, unless it is in the middle of the tourist ghettos of Pattaya or Phuket, which have their own real estate rules completely separate from the rest of Thailand, and with it their own dangers such as completely crooked agents and lawyers specialised in ripping off potential farang buyers.
Without going too deeply into the Thai real estate market, you are far better off renting, while investing in far more profitable markets in safer countries with far better legal protection for foreign investors.
Buy it if you like living in the place, and when losing the money won't hurt you.
I used to think that way.
but a canadian friend explained it to me in simple terms that even I could understand.

I've been living in a small studio apartment for 7 years now. I pay about 6k baht a month. one year is 72k baht. 7 years is about 500,000 baht.

in my book, that's better than someone who just sits in his chair twiddling his thumbs. wouldn't you agree?
frankly, those politicians should do more than just go to meetings and state dinners. they should go out there, and talk to the people - focus on projects to overcome problems whereever they might be.
no, state dinners and meetings just don't do it for me.
as for crybabies, they need to go home to mama. they can't even take care of themselves, and they want to represent the people? give me a break.

They are quite right to boycott the thing. They have asked TRT to participate in consitutional reforms, they have refused. The current situation overwhelmingly favours TRT. An election in 30, days with the 90 day rule in place, virtually complete control of the media and with enough resources to ensure that the rural voters, make the "right choice." The problem here is Toxic, and his refusal to resign, here we have guy who is unsuitable as a PM, he would be better of as a Kindergarden teacher. At least there you can tell the kids that you know best and there is no need for them to think. Then again, if I had children I probably wouldn't want him to teach my them. No the guy, has to go! At the moment he is doing a Mugabe, thank God for the King!
as I see it...
the problem is not with thaksin.
there may a problem with the laws, but then, the opposition should work in the confines of the law to change it if a problem does exist. (but NOT during an election.)
actually, I see the problem as one being with the minority opposition. they want to form a dictatorship where they can dictate to the majority of the people what should be done.
in some countries, that is called treason.
if the minority opposition really cares about the country, they should apologize and get back in there, and work with the majority party to solve the country's problems whatever they might be.
the minority party(s) should start helping the poor people out in the countryside to improve their reputation out there. ...that way, they will be able to do better in future elections.
when you get right down to it... isn't the politicians suppose to be the servant to the people?
last, but not least. the minority party complains that thaksin hasn't done anything. so, my question to them is - WHAT DID THEY DO??? (other than complain.)
some tips for the minority parties...
1) why doesn't someone get in the limelight and start some mediation with the teachers in the hopes of resolving their opposition to changes in the status quo.
2) another hot topic.. maybe someone can start discussions in the media to resolve the thais' paranoia with foreign investments.
3) how about someone in the minority party setting up a small solar farm with their own money and present their findings to the newspapers. this will definitely get them media exposure. hey! chuwit, why don't you set up that park on sukumvit 10 as a solar farm? power some bank next door, or some nearby buildings. start polishing your image, man. get some of those stirling solar platforms. (www.stirlingenergy.com) then, you could even say you got the idea from bush.
4) why doesn't some politician lead the way to help pattaya resolve their water shortage problem?
5) bring in western technology to improve the output of farms here.
..you better do it quick, or thaksin will beat you to it.
my 2 cents..

the point is all politicians are self centred crooks, only interested in filling their cookie jars either now or after politics. bush, toxin, hamas, blair, they're all the same!
<deleted> them all, thats why i've moved away into freedom, rather being stateless and save my taxes for my own personal use!
suckers, welcome to the club!!!
would you rather we all joined up with the ayatolahs, read the koran, become good obediant islamic fundamentalists?
..maybe we should go around murdering people because of some cartoons?
I think democracy is the better option. ..even if it is not perfect.
Well, once again, 'haha'(sic), your comment reveals more about your own lack of comprehension than anything that has been said.
yeah. I know. you are smarter than me. so, I should follow your lead. right?

Why do all the anti-Thaksin people love complaining but provide no solutions? To me they represent the vocal MINORITY (aka whiners).
Would you rather have a leader chosen by election or by mob violence?
These seem to be the primary anti-Thaksin arguments, as well as my explanations to their faults:
-"He's buying votes"
Where do you get that from? Even if a poor person gets money under his authority, they are free to change their vote anytime they want.
-"Only the uneducated poor are voting for him"
Why would they choose him over someone else? Anyone else running can promise the same "vote-buying" activities.
-"He's corrupt"
He's a billionaire. He is less likely to be bribed than any other candidate. Who in Thailand has the ability to bribe a billionaire?
-"He's bad for the economy"
Who is better? A massage parlor king? A media giant that wants to overthrow legitimate governments?
-"The middle class wants someone else"
In a democracy, the majority vote gets to choose their leader. What would you rather have? A society where only the rich are allowed to vote?
-"According to the newspaper, Thai people want someone else"
The newspapers write stuff that sell, not that are true. And they generally don't represent the majority, just the whiners who like to blame their situations on others. The # of votes tell which leader Thais really want.
I still find it shocking that the protestors admit they won't accept the results of the election if Thaksin wins. It's getting obvious at this point that they don't respect democracy at all and are only doing this to get PMs that benefit them personally, and could possibly resort to violence to get their way.
great post!!!
if the anti-thaksin can't fathom the message that you are expressing, there is no hope for them.
someone else on this thread mentioned that I was a brain-dead, uncomprehending numbskull. but actually, I think it is the other way around.
qurkle, keep up the good work.
may the "truth" come out.

A great move.....but, unfortunately, one that that brings with it the likelihood of violence ever closer!
THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS IN THAILAND HAS NOW BEEN RENDERED USELESS AND REDUNDANT.....THIS IS PEOPLE POWER IN ACTION.
Thaksin.....awk pai
Thaksin.....awk pai
Thaksin.....awk pai
Can you just step back for a second, please, and consider what you post here.
This is not "people power" - this is a bloody tragedy. The opposition has consistently failed to educate the upcountry voters about Thaksin's dirt. It's their own making, and instead of risking violence by this immature move they should start doing their frigging job and go upcountry.
Violence is NOT acceptable in order to bring Thaksin down. And in this you are right - this move of the opposition parties is increasing the risk of severe violence.
Can you imagine how that sort violence might look like? Have you ever been in riots? Have you ever seen people getting killed by mobs? I have, far too many times - and this is the scariest, most disgusting thing you can possibly imagine. People become animals and do the most horrible things to each other without any compassion for the other's humanity.
Often it is better to have violence for a very short time, than dictatorship for ages. I don't mean that specific for Thailand, I mean it in generell.
thaksin is not a dictator. he was voted into office by the majority vote.
..if anyone is a dictator, it is the minority groups who are causing all the turmoil now. they are trying to force their way against the majority through threat of violence.
thaksin a dictator? you got to be kidding. if he were a dictator, you wouldn't be able to say a word against him. you would be shot on the spot. dictator? ..give me a break.
if you want to know what a dictatorship is like, go to burma, or north korea.

I just love this photo of Thaksin taken yesterday by AP. It really sums it up for me. On April 2nd Thailand will be returning "the devil it knows" to office. I reckon he's saving the middle finger for the Chinese-Thai civil servant class..who've lost their privileged 10% skimming rights to Thaksin's Chinese-Thai business buddies..They can rally all they like..they've lost their power, influence, access to the treasury, and their credibility too. I'm heartbroken for them..no, really..really..
so, who are you?
somehow, I get this feeling you are not thai, or farang.
I get the feeling you want to start some trouble.
muslim-thai, spoiled brat?

As for Single minded Thaksin fans. I met him first in 1997 when the Country was Bankrupted by the Opposition. He said he never wanted to be Prime Minister, but I persuaded him that he was the best man for the job being a Businessman. He went on to win the Election and paid off the IMF loan in record time. He has made Thailand strong again. Now there are many mega projects about to kick off, the opposition want to get rid of him, so that they can have their turn at the trough. The opposition do not have the good of the Country at heart, and only want to line their pockets.
I was going to address your point in regard to Thailand being bankrupted by the opposition, but I think ColPyat has done that sufficiently.
In regard to your comment about the IMF loan repayment in record time – I wonder to what record do you refer? As South Korea repaid their IMF loan long before Thailand was able to repay theirs. I will give credit to Thailand for repaying the loan early, but hardly in record setting pace. A discussion as to how Thailand accomplished this feat is yet another topic – but a four-fold increase in public debt from 1996 – 2002 is hardly something to boast about.
I am of conflicting opinions in regard to Mr. Thaksin – I do think he did more good than bad for Thailand in his first term. But somewhere along the way I think he has lost touch with what is what is really best for Thailand and the majority of the Thai people.
you sound like another one "of those guys" who wish to foster confusion and unrest in this country.
-
A win again by fearless leader will literally crush his opponents. Smart move - no one can ever call the man stupid.
Don't you realise that the sole objective of Thaksin's critics and detractors is to remove him from public ofice PERMANENTLY.....and this will come about.....whether he's re-elected or not!
you really are stupid, aren't you?
if that were to happen, you would be one of the first people the police would be looking for. and if you think being anonymous on the internet would afford you any protection, you are dreaming.

Thai society is based around the family unit, within a village life. I would imagine that noone who is part of a Thai family, living in a Thai village, would be alone, in life or in death.
However, it might be a different story for an expatriate. In Hong Kong there is a charity called the "South China Coast Community" which provides accommodation for lonely old expatriates. I do not know of anything similar in Thailand.
It would be really terrible to end up broke, sick, and dying in Thailand, wouldn't it? What's the solution?
my 2 cents...
everybody will die someday. many will die unhappily with regrets. others will die without knowing they died as with alzheimer's disease.
..those few who die happily with a group of family surrounding them. well, it's a movie scene.
so, the best thing you can do for yourself is to forge forward and find those happy memories whereever they might be. don't forget your budget, mind you. but do the best you can to make yourself happy.
don't always expect long-term relations with someone because the chances are they won't be there.
if you are lucky, you will accumulate enough happy memories to keep you going until you leave this world.
my greatest fear is to live those last 10 minutes of my life without any treasured happy memories to ponder on. ..think about it.
good luck in the quest.
...to happy memories.

The markets initially seem to have welcomed the decision, with the SET closing above the important 740 support/resistance level.
Assuming that Thaksin will be re-elected with a smaller but still large majority I can only think it will be good for Thailand and the THB. I don't think the opposition is seen internationally as credible, and so with the TRT back in for another term, expect more foreign buyers of Thai stocks pushing up both the SET and the THB rate. Bear in mind that the SET is still the cheapest Asian market on a P/E basis - even cheaper than the Philippines (which is a joke). Not aware if one can short the PI market, but if it's possible, that would seem to be the logical cross; long Thai, short PI.
Having said that, I don't think we're talking about a huge jump - more a case of general buying on stability. I'll check how the Forward THB rates have changed when I'm back in the office on Monday.
NB I'm long, and have been long, the SET for a couple of years, so feel free to accuse me of talking up my own book!
my 2 cents...
it is about 11:30am in the morning right now here in bangkok. as I write this posting, I am watching nation tv where several thai folks including the general are doing an interview with sondhi and gang.
mind you, I don't know what they are talking about. but what I do see are some very serious faces.

I have my doubts that you truly have any thai-chinese friends. my guess is your friends are more of the muslim type.
and I'm sure if heng were in your "village", he would be murdered. that's the way they treat infidels there, right?
Are you honestly trying to tell me that Buddhist Thais do not kill people?!
Now this is really getting absurd!
my friend, you gave yourself away with that remark.
Yes right, your incredible deductive skills have discovered my real identity - i am Osama bin Laden hiding out in Thailand, no, sorry, i am he real Saddham Hussain, the one on trial now is only a copy.
No, wrong, i am Blofeld plotting to take over the world with my evil scemes and you must be James Bond.
well, maybe I was wrong. ..you could just be some spoiled brat trying to convince everyone you are an adult.

several muslim terrorist have actually declared war on the west for the cartoons. many in the west don't take it seriously. but fact of the matter, the muslim terrorist does. they show this with the suicide bombings, and the outrageous behavior they are showing with the cartoon controversy.
yes, the cartoon controversy... did you notice how muslims ALL OVER THE WORLD grouped together in unison to protest the cartoons? did you notice how in many countries, the savage behavior they displayed?
I have this feeling that many muslims here foster the same hostilities, but knowing that they are a minority here decided to do their battles in stealth via the internet - fostering confusion and unrest.
what do you think?
am I possibly paranoid? maybe.. but then, I think it is a possibility that everyone should consider.
nuff said.

I have my doubts that you truly have any thai-chinese friends. my guess is your friends are more of the muslim type.
and I'm sure if heng were in your "village", he would be murdered. that's the way they treat infidels there, right?
Just out of curiousity, what is a "muslim type"?
And what makes you think ColPyat has such friends?
you really must have a lot of hate in you. I feel sorry for you.Look up my comment on another thread...
it is a well-known fact that many muslim terrorist have declared war on the western world. it is also known that they wish to foster confusion, and unrest amongst their "enemies". namely, the infidels, or non-muslim.
both the philippines and thailand have large muslim populations. and isn't it interesting that both countries are experiencing some political unrest right now?
using the internet to foster hatred between farangs and thais would be very easy for the muslim terrorist to do. wouldn't you agree?
personally, I think the islamic religion s##ks big time. and if I could, I would post those cartoons all over the world. what do you think of that?

I am sick of the farangs whose hatred of Thaksin stems from nothing more than them having to pay a few more satang for their visas
how do you know these are farangs that we are dealing with. I have this feeling we are dealing with muslims here.

Yeah, there's an unemotional response. You're saying I'd be shot in your wife's village for being me? Which village is that, curiously? Or let me guess, it's a secret village in your mind, eh?
At times i wonder if you are really what you pretend to be, or just a wind-up, in which case you are doing a seriously good job fullfilling and taking the piss out of the negative stereortype that many people attach to your class and ethnicy here in Thailand.
I have to say that none of my real life Thai-Chinese friends come close to your extreme character.
I have my doubts that you truly have any thai-chinese friends. my guess is your friends are more of the muslim type.

I mean - why didn't the south get any government help - after the latest floods ?

my 2 cents...
let me get his straight...
1) you don't believe in democracy where the majority rules, and,
2) you don't believe in freedom of speech where the spirit of "truth" is spread.
could it be? you are suggesting someone murder thaksin? I mean.. as I see it, if he isn't going to resign, that's the only way you are going to get him out. right?
I think I know where you are coming from...
islamic fanatic?
