  1. I know many farmers lack much formal education but to believe in a scheme that offered to pay them 50% more than the market price for their rice was ever going to be more than a scam was being naive in the extreme. They should have just sold their rice to the brokers at the market price at harvest time.

    Sadly they where still "infactuated" with their Emporer being beamed live via Skype to the Red Shirt stage filling them with all the populist BS so they could be elected and continue to drain the trough ..... Now they are being forgotten .... Oh unless of course you come from Chan Mai or another " strong hold" of the Reds ...... Condolences to this Farming Family ....

    @ noikrit - I used to think CM was a redshirt stronghold as well, when I first moved there from Chiang Rai nearly five years ago.

    Not so much the case now, people who used to openly voice approval for the redshirts and Thaksin have now turned against them. And I have been told by more than one Thai that the only reason "some" people support the reds is because they are too scared not to.

    When I first met my wife she was a redshirt and PTP fan, now she calls them idiots. A lot can happen in five years. thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce.dtxKiAJ9C7.gif alt=thumbsup.gif width=25 height=19>
