Default Bangkok No Fun any more

He's trying to make clean new image of Thailand and it's unfortunate that
the people do not realise it. As a biz man he is trying to change the facade
of his country into an economic power in SEA region. Selling Shin Corp is
nothing more than good biz sense and it's a pity that the people do not
realise the true implications. OK, maybe he makes a good chunk of money out
of it, but so what?

Is Thailand going to depend on the sex trade and the drugs trade forever.?
Thanksin is trying to change this and get the people to rely on the
manufacturing and IT sector but the people are not ready. That's the
problem. The people are just not ready. They don't have the thinking power
that he has and the vision that he has.

Yes, his vision differs much from that of the neighbours down south. There
is no protectionism. All is based on performance and self-reliance and this
is where a strong nation stands on its own two feet. No fear of outside
playmakers the like of Soros. Let Soros come, he says, and I'll wipe him
out.

The Thai people just do not realise how much he has done for Thailand's
economic future and a place in the sun, standing with honour.

So, Thai people, cease your protests for you do not know what you are
doing!!! Appreciate Thanksin(intended).

I wonder if Prime Minister Thaksin's recent unpopularity
in Bangkok has something to do with his government's
devastation of the entertainment industry there.

A lot of Thais were making a living out of it. And
I can imagine that many of them are not happy about
loosing their incomes as a result of his government's
actions.
