[quote="buksida"]That is a good article and I would agree with it if PPP had actually done anything for the people that voted them in - all of these politicians are power-mongers with their own greed and hunger for more money and power being their only driving force.

Not very Buddhist is it :shock:[/quote]

:agree: with you completely The understudy does Buksida.
That's why during the last 30 years we see the same faces of Thai Politians and some of these power hungry slease bags kept changinn their polititcal parties just like their underpants!

Are there any other countries I should avoid because of this scenario or are you referring only to Planet Earth ?

No, but since we live in this country and they're pretty shameless about their behaviour I'd thought I'd keep it relative :thumb:

It was only ever BKK that under a state of emergency - other than the long-running problems down south. That was lifted about two weeks ago.
I should think it adversely affected tourism, but in reality there was no difference to day-to-day life in BKK whatsoever. I was up there overnight on the first day it was imposed.

While on the subject Lomu - I heard that there had been a train bombed down South two or three weeks ago. Surprised there were any running really, but hey ho. Any truth there?
