In what was entirely expected from Thaksin Shinawatra, twist, turns and attempted delays are now coming forth. As you read into what Thaksin is saying, it is all about changing the issue, painting things in a distorted light, and completely missing the fact that he is guilty of a crime under Thai law. There is also no mention at all of the failed bribe that sent his lawyers to jail for 6 months. [Read more →]

As the reading of Thaksin’s verdict started mid afternoon, dark storm clouds and the rumbles of thunder were gathering in the sky over Bangkok Thailand. That was an eerie reminder that several days of persistent rain fell on Bangkok in the midst of the dry season when Thaksin’s party the People Power Party (PPP) took power early this year.

In what is getting to be a regular happening, another crony of Thaksin Shinawatra has been devoured by Thailand’s 2007 Constitution.

It seems that to become a high ranking official in the People Power Party (PPP) government in Thailand, your moral and ethical qualifications must be below a low standard.
