Expect a lot more vote buying and corruption now Thaksin is back. -
The dark secrets of Thailand’s elephant tourism industry
Thingamabob replied to george's topic in Thailand News
You don't know what you're talking about. The treatment captive elephants suffer in Thailand is appalling and desperately sad. -

Thai government’s digital wallet scheme faces legality verification
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
An utter farce, based on a vote-buying promise made without any idea as to how it would be financed. Question now is how will the loan be re-paid ? -
Phuket Governor Addresses Rumors in Swiss Expat Alleged Assault Case

Thaksin Shinawatra’s ‘secret’ health scandal

I would add if Dave's wife had kept her mouth shut he would be in better shape.

Having said that, Dave's action was that of a thug and he deserves all the trouble he is now in.
