Why do I get the feeling this has involved a degree of backstage politicking?

A few months back the Junta's ambassador was "invited" by the Japanese to explain a requirement that ALL companies in Thailand were to have a thai majority on the board....is this some kind of fob-off?

So how many non Thais above these vice presidents one or many?

Just don't give them access to the bank books Mr Tanada.

Ba mee or som tam today..?
