Indeed. The Shinawatras, and their circle, have always been deeply associated with the establishment ruling elite. Nothing more, nothing less. Though, one might say they were/are a different branch of the ruling classes..... The degradation that was put upon them and their types was all part of the show.....political theatre, if you might.

Indeed. I've always been baffled to as the too many Farang that have long considered Thais to be brutally repressed in numerous. I don't know too many societies in the world that are everyday free, independent and self-sufficient as Thais might be. A quick and objective observation might help among the hard-wired and deluded.

Yeah....isn't that what a "people's" Democracy is about. It works both ways.
