From the Finland Declaration to the Nepal Strategy - Regime change
through constitutional amendment and ballot.
Translated and summarized from Phujatkan
Author: Chiewchawana, April 29, 2008

Below, I have described the background history of Thaksin Shinawatra’s
rise to power.
Thaksin Shinawatra did not begin his business career in the usual
manner. His financial success in business owed more to his
manipulation of influential contacts, rather than to his managerial
acumen alone. (...)Thaksin went on to enter politics, and he
established his Thai Rak Thai Party (TRT) in 1998 - on the same day on
which the French monarchy had been deposed, 209 years earlier.
Thaksin was to spend a great deal of his own money building an
effective campaign team for TRT. Many members of his ‘team’ were
former members of the (Maoist) Communist Party of Thailand. The
Thaksin ‘team’ also contained individuals who had previously supported
the ‘October 14’ democratic reform movement. The formation of TRT was
a great success, as certain groups of conservatives - in the TRT camp
- appeared willing to eschew their former political philosophy for the
benefits of Thaksin’s money. Thus Thai society was able to witness a
growing political rift between the political aspirations of its
disenchanted former Maoists and its old guard of bureaucrats - who
continued to doggedly serve the notion of an ‘absolute monarchy’.
These two political poles are now locked in mortal combat, with the
former committed to serving the needs of modern-day capitalism, and
the latter committed to preventing the rise of TRT’s capitalist
supporters to the main seat of power.
(...)It is obvious to me that our nation’s system of democracy, under
a constitutional monarchy, faces grave risks from Thaksin’s continual
craving for power. Thaksin is now able to largely dictate the course
of Thai politics, in addition to being able to control the fate of
those politicians who either favor or oppose him. During Thaksin’s
tenure in government, a great deal of corruption is alleged to have
taken place. It is also noteworthy that, after Thaksin’s initial rise
to power, many websites sprang up to portray our monarchy in a
negative light. The Thai Royalty commands the highest respect of the
vast majority of Thais, but those wrongdoers who seek to discredit HM
the King - many of whom receive Thaksin’s tacit support - have yet to
receive the ultimate penalty [of lese majesté prosecution] for their
crimes.  
The Thaksin governments abused many of the powers they were granted
through the ballot box. Not only did the Thaksin administration
initiate a policy that promoted the extra-judicial killing of
drug-dealers, but it also used those same powers to victimize and
silence its critics in non-governmental organizations.  
The September 19 coup in 2006 took place under the leadership of the
Council for National Security (CNS). That coup was an attempt to
oppose Thaksin’s attempt to rise to absolute power over all aspects of
Thai society.  
(...)PM Surayud’s administration tried to pursue policies that
promoted greater political peace and harmony in Thai society, but it
proved to be incapable of ridding the country of Thaksin’s
‘absolutist’ undercurrents. The pro-Thaksin (AKA ‘old power’) group
has now returned to run this country. I believe that this return
places our constitutional monarchy in great jeopardy. It should be
noted that many websites are once again openly engaged in denouncing
the institutions of our monarchy - including the President of the
Privy Council. This difference is that, this time around, these
anti-monarchy groups are even more aggressive in their condemnations
of our august institutions.

I could go on but it appears that Taksin is a figure from the past so
why bother.

Didn't you wrote also: "I ask this question because as a Farang, I
understand nothing about cultural differences between people from
different Asian countries."

A COWARD and a FRENCH asshole on top of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Re: My (ex) Thai girlfriend

I don't want to give here too many details but FYI the trouble I got
with my three girl-friends is:
- infidelity with the first one,
- repetitive lies ("white lies") with the 2d,
- disagreement about "sin sod" with my present friend.

The last one was not a problem of money, as you may think, but the
comparative importance of our (future) children and her parents.

My point is simply that you can find a Thai lady who is not only after
your money but still have trouble, often worsened by the culture
difference.

I ask this question because as a Farang, I understand nothing about
cultural differences between people from different Asian countries.
My g/f is a Thai-Chinese from Bangkok and a divorcee from a
Singaporian man.
She rarely speaks about her ex-husband.
But once she told me she was surprised at the differences between
Latin men and Singaporian men in ordinary life  ( she knew  your state
pretty well ).

Despite my questions, she never explained this quote.
