Abhisit? Abhisit was a pretty weak PM but he didn't destroy democracy...as we can just see it is still here....Damage was done by Thaksin, but the military repaired it and gave democracy back.

    Better take that word "boy" out of the headline and replace it with "man" if you want to stay in good graces with the upcoming regime, unless of course you purposely added it to demean the new PM.

    His election is a truly great thing for this nation and shows that the people are both sick of being led by highly ignorant dinosaurs, with no interest in progress, and interested in smart, young folk

1 billion that is 1000 Million Baht.....I guess every serious politician who was a longer time in power in Thailand has stolen that...not really a big number.
I would be surprised if someone didn't do that. As the Russian salesguy for fighter airplanes once said in an interview.....10% for the decision maker is always no matter what country, what seller or what buyer the international standard. For civilian airplanes from Boeing and Airbus it is 5 and 7% (I can't remember which is the 5 and which the 7) for the decision maker. If you don't have a billion in 8 years you made something seriously wrong. Or from the other side...where does the money come from that all parties hand out for vote buying?

I meant a billion dollars. Likely far more than that.

You'll be proven right, although what you say is a safe bet.
