OzMick Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I can understand why Surapong would be grateful. Another job might be hard to find for a man of his limited talents, without the pressure of nepotism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonneke breda Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thought Thaksin said he will not get involved with politics anymore, and why does nobody stop the politicians from meeting him overseas. If I were to visit a convicted criminal the authorities would fry me over this, but in Thailand everything is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The correct title is Chief of the Defense Forces IAW the Organization of Ministry of Defense Act of 2008. That sounds a little less daunting than supreme Commander. Supreme commander has certain star wars ring to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
