BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said some 40 politicians had already contacted Pheu Thai and its executives, expressing their wish to apply for a membership on May 31.

More will do the same in the future, the spokesman claimed.

"Pheu Thai is happy that the 111 Club members are willing to join with us in our political work. Their joining will certainly strengthen the party and help it to finish its term of four years," he said.

"We welcome all of them and are sure that there will be no conflicts between Pheu Thai MPs and ministers," he added.

Responding to reports that fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, founder of Thai Rak Thai, may want to apply for membership, Prompong said he was not aware of the reports but welcomed him anyway.

The club's members include Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, Chaturon Chaisaeng, Pongthep Thepkanchana, Chidchai Wannasathit, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, Bhokin Palakula, Warathep Ratanakorn, Adisorn Piangket, Virakarn Musikapong, and Phumtham Wetchayachai.

I guess there's nothing in the Pheu Thai party's statute which might ban a Thai applicant from being accepted independent of that applicant's juridical and/or social status ?

This really shows that the Pueu Thai support corruption and shady politics to reinstate the Crockett bunch
