The real story here is that this article in the New York Times and at least one other called 'Changing of the Garb' in the economist, is purposely misleading its readers. These are paid for propaganda pieces on behalf of the Shins and demonstrably so, very interesting.

So Junta bad for economy, but good for the happy few,Thaksin bad for a lot of farang (why I don't know) but good for economy...

There are many foreigners who have a partner from the north east that think Yingluck and Thaksin are wonderful.

They WHERE good for Thailand, its the Change that they would create that gave the rich the Sh***Ts

The Shins have made a mess out of Thailand. At least haven't made it better when they had absolute power the last decade or so.
