The Democrat-led government plans to establish a new agency to replace the Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre (SBPAC), which carries out non-military work related to the southern insurgency.

The new agency would be directly supervised by the prime minister or his deputy, said deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who is in charge of national security issues.

Some civilian officials were "not satisfied" with the present structure, said Democrat MP Nipon Boonyamanee.

But --- it does not suit some people.

Commenting on the plan to dissolve the Southern Border Province Administration Centre (SBPAC), he (Army chief Anupong Paojinda} said he had discussed this with Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban and they agreed that the centre will not be disbanded.

Oh --- that's good! Army chief Anupong Paojinda is at least discussing it with them before he decides what shall be done. Strong leadership is important.

Has anyone noticed a government anywhere?

Who's is charge?

George, of course.

(Points deducted if you said "Charles")

[PhilHarries]

Who's in charge? Nobody of course. Thailand is under the banner of new politics. Government of some of the people by some of the people for some of the people. Each of the three groups of people are mutually independant.

A kind of democratic, dictatorial anarchy.

You get to vote for the people who don't end up governing you and who you ignore anyway.

where? in Thailand ?

[Scott]

It's at the Foreign Ministry, know it's in Hua Hin--it's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

[Scott]

Or maybe Hong Kong or Dubai?

[PhilHarries]

I've heard you can pick one up cheap at Chatuchak market but there's a risk it might be a fake.

Apparently the fakes are so good youd never know the difference.
