... and which one was that with the idea to fight for the "kwam suung" of the Thai people? (election poster) :o Strange formulation.

If you asked them, I have no doubt that they would all say they are for it.

And even more than that, surely.

But, it is a valid grammatical formulation - albeit a cynical lie in this case...

You're very welcome. Thanks a lot for that.

Since I am obviously unable to resist, it bears noting that the great Matichon newspaper often refers to "Deng Xiaoharn" as a "bplaa laai" - a slippery eel.

Being a journalist myself, I am quite fond of such truth in reporting.

Then again, I guess each one of them is as slippery as the next...

Being a realist I am fond of candidates speaking openly of what they wish. Therefore I never read the election posters further than: "ko ohkat" :o
