Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 An interesting take on "outsiders". President of the Thai Bankers, a former minister and top executive at PTT, and secretary of the NESDP. About as "establishment" as you can get! 11 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see that in the good general's opinion none of his "elected" representatives have the credentials to be part of the economic team. Guess they must be good for other things, most of which will leave a brown stain on their nose. Edited July 18, 2020 by bangkokfrog 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
