For Thais of friends of Thais? Pheu Thai protests 'copycat' party

BANGKOK — Less than a week since Pheu Thai Party saw its founder’s slogan stolen by an army unit, its logo and name also appear up for grabs.

 

That was the grievance aired Monday by some of the party’s politicians, who believe that a new rival party – called Pheun Thai – is imitating the name and emblem of the popular party to confuse voters into casting ballots for the wrong candidate.

Well, there will be a ban on alcohol, so .......  Guessing were will not be a ban.  It would take blurry eyes and timid souls for them to win.

 

The junta handicaps competing political parties by not letting them campaign then infringes a bit on their logo..  I would expect nothing less. 

I always say, Thai politics is rip for TV Drama. Bet it would be the top grossing drama of the year if anyone makes it. You got all the ingredients, coups, stolen watches, submarines, protests, corruptions, red village areas, bombings, fugitives etc etc.

Oh get over yourselves...

 

And show a little respect for your voter base.

 

Suggesting they are unable to tell the difference between candidates is somewhat offensive. 

 

Those logos are very easy to distinguish between. 

 

As is the Thai script.  I read Thai at a very, very basic level and I can read both of those names.
