You can buy anything you want in Bangkok, Phuket, or Pattaya, anything. It’s not without just cause that the Thai protesters are out to cleanup corruption. The Shinawatra government includes a fellow named Chewit who was/is the king of prostitution and trafficking in Bangkok’s Pat Pong, Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza.
In a country with a long history of corruption, the Pua Thai (current edition of Red Shirt) is the most blatant. The educated, middle class and many monks are fed up. We have friends in both camps. Yingluck Shinawatra continues her brother Thaksin’s pandering to the genuine working poor and farmers with outlandish rice price control schemes and other bribe for votes schemes. Thaksin seemingly learned his politics from Huey Long “every man a king”.
The thing is that in 20 years wen I’m dead and gone, someone will be able to post the same rant I am posting. Just change the names.
