Among the likely candidates are (1)Pridiyathorn Devakula, governor of the Bank of Thailand, and (2)Supachai Panitchpakdi, director-general of the UN Conference on Trade and Development.

Thaskin???

Thaskin???

That would surprise me.....

Where can I apply to get PM? I would like to do the job, where can I apply? (as the constitution is terminated, it does not tell anywhere anymore that you must be thai nationality to do the job....).

[Unknown]

Supachai was one of the few, if not the only UN Director of Trade who actually took position in favor of the developping countries against the US and the European during the agriculture trade talks (coton trade).

Well, it means he has international experience but few friends in the developped world.

And limited local knowledge.

But I like him...

General Sonthi was on Thai radio this morning saying that he's received a lot of calls from people suggesting that he himself should take the job. He said he had lots of ideas to improve the country.

I would love to see a premier sonthi, but it would look like he wants to make a military dictatorship and many people would get doubts if he finish after 1 year or if he continue....

OK .... If speculation is allowed on this one ----------

I'd like to see Prem step up ---- we know it is gonna be only about a year!

But I don't think he'd take it <nor do I think it would be wise as it would play into Thaksin's silly rumors>
