yellowboat Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Oh, the joys and privilege of military law. But he earned it by lending a steady hand to bike lanes, beach chairs and now Baht buses. The man truly saved Thailand from things like universal suffrage, foreign investment, and education. Propaganda will work just fine in the place of education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
