Understanding Thailand Politics

with one comment

Mis-named Korat on old Thailand Poster

(ps: the Sia­mese Cat in the above poster is in fact a Korat)

A watcher of byz­antine and machiavel­lian polit­ics, the situ­ation in Thai­l­and is provid­ing an inter­est­ing demon­stra­tion of power wiel­ded by his­tory, tra­di­tion and might vs money, cor­rup­tion and pop­u­lar polit­ics. Neither side is clean, and neither side is com­pletely right. Thanks to Stigher­rian and ‘Pong for tak­ing time out to explain the con­tem­por­ary situ­ation; and in a clearer fash­ion than I have seen/heard/read else­where.
