The ex-ambassador Surapong Chaiyanam mentioned that foreign countries still want Thaksin back. (PAD Report, ASTV) ….. Last thing I want to talk about is how foreign countries are looking at us now. They have seen PAD has stopped the protest. The Somchai’s cabinet has gone. But this seems to be a temporary stability, because there [...]

What does the People’s Alliance for Democracy have to gain from this long struggle? A country that is free of corruption, crony capitalism, and nepotism. There is no financial gain to be made.
