by James Morris and Son Nguyen

The leader of the United Thai Nation (Ruam Thai Sang Chart) and Secretary-general to the Prime Minister, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, gave a hard-hitting speech at a rally in Bangkok on Friday attended by the party’s ultra-conservative supporters and key figures. He vowed to ‘get tough’ on ‘nation haters’ while urging people who wanted to dramatically change the kingdom’s culture and institutions to leave and go to live in another country emphasising that Thailand will never change to suit their desires.


With just five weeks to go to the May 14th General Election, the old political divide is starting to reassert itself as pro-establishment parties seem unable to halt the momentum of both the Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties
