Wait until someone works out how to pack one of these new low-cost drones with explosives. That's when the fun's really going to start.

Washington Post : Thai junta enjoys absolute power while opposition quietly bides its time.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/tha ... story.html
the Bangkok Post had a not that interesting article on where Pheu Thai goes from here:
Shinawatras still Pheu Thai 'trademark'
I was more taken with the reader comments than the article itself, particularly one from Post reader Dystopia:
this comment garnered 100 "thumbs up" and 111 "thumbs down" - a country still divided indeed!Quote:
Imagine any legitimate democracy tolerating its government being run from abroad by a convicted felon on the run. The fact that upwards of 40% of the population think this is perfectly ok says so much about ignorance, self-interest and moral bankruptcy in this country. Is it any wonder that Thailand is such a hopeless mess?
