You may find this analysis of interest, Oliver, in that context
Re: Soi Twilights Banana Bar to close March 29th
Thanks. I've been trying to keep up to date but Thai politics are so alien to Westerners that it's difficult.
I tend to regard P as a-political (certainly compared to me) but he's always been a Thaksin-man. It was during and because of Thaksin's premiership that his village was at last electrified and I remember him making the seven hour journey back to the north to vote for him when I first knew him. It surprised me because I've never been a fan of capitalists. But his devotion was real enough.
And now, like the other guys I know- I don't mix with the wealthy- he's still supporting the Red Shirts. I shall be flying my PFLP flag (yes, it's also red) over the next few days in the hope of a slap in the face for the generals. Fortunately, I'm used to being on the losing side.
The following suggests that my pessimism is justified....

Grow up. The PFLP has absolutely zero support among the palestinians. A western commie organization with no roots among the arabs. They are muslims you know...

I assume you're referring to my need to renew my British passport later this year? Yes, but I don't need to do it until the bright, shiny, new blue ones come along

Alzheimers kicking in already? I imagine with your propensity to fabricate you’ll claim it’s the “early onset” variant
Re: Soi Twilights Banana Bar to close March 29th
Meanwhile -- any news on either of the Banana Bars?

Just like you with your talent to fabricate your trips to Thailand and Pattaya

We had a good time there when we visited late last year. The Australian co-owner (Mark?) and his Japanese business partner were very charming. There was this very fair Cambodian guy who worked there who was too plastic-looking and a bit full of himself for my taste but one of my friends liked him. I remember chatting with this tiny Karen guy who, like many marginalised and displaced persons, had quite a few interesting stories to tell.
