Briggsy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Read the Thai press, these assassinations, failed or otherwise of Phoo Yai Bahn's, Or Bor Tor's, Or Bor Jor's, Nayok Tessabahn's are a daily occurrence. If you want to get on in local politics here, you must have a group of hitmen to call in when required otherwise none of your rivals will respect you and you won't last long. This is the nature of getting into power here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
