The following article may or may not be appropriate for the forum... I'll let the moderators decide... although I would advise against any discussion of it on the open board... :tsk:

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

How dare you call him a Junta - I'm telling on you, that could be racist.

I would have thought that an extreme right wing Monarchist junta is about as far from Communism as you can possibly get!

Remove the politics and you are still left with:
- A failing economy, falling exports
- Arrests for criticizing government plans/policies
- 72% of public spending for BKK (whee 17% of populations lives)
- rejection of draft constitution by drafting organization members to prolong coup
- 0.1 percent of Thais holding ~50% the country’s total wealth

Things are starting to snowball and gather momentum heading downhill. Time to act is now, changing the economic team was a good start.

the global economy is tanking. thailand is just along for the ride. the less debt the government has and the more isolated the Thai economy is from the outside world the better.
