Basically Thaksin received a below the belt “wai” (*_*)

“พ.ต.ท.ทักษิณ ได้ก้าวลงจากรถ และเมื่อลงจากรถปรากฏว่ามีนายตำรวจ ทราบภายหลังเป็น พล.ต.ต.บุญส่ง พานิชอัตรา รอง ผบช.น. เข้าไปก้มตัวลงไหว้ พ.ต.ท.ทักษิณ ชนิดที่ก้มต่ำกว่าปกติถึงใต้เข็มขัด ซึ่งเป็นจังหวะเดียวกับที่ช่างภาพสามารถจับภาพดังกล่าวไว้ได้”

The way they campaigned for Thaksin in the Northeast may have been akin to these slogans: "Thaksin fed your water Buffalo" "Thaksin filled your Pickup truck Diesel" "Thaksin bought you a yellow t-shirt" "Thaksin surprised your mom on her b'day" "Thaksin gave you a hug" "Thaksin massaged your elderly grandfather" "Thaksin helped your baby cross the road" etc etc Chennault:

News junkies will recall that Suvarnabhumi was a disastrous construction project with connections to Thaksin's corrupt cronies...but hey most western presses really BELIEVE it when Chakrapop Penkair says "Democracy has returned to Thailand" don't you mean "Thaksin's brand of democracy?"

Everything I've seen indicates that he's just a remorseless and almost robotic power and attention-grabber. He has to be the center of attention or he gets bored. I used to watch him sitting through no-confidence debates when he was a junior whippersnapper and he looked terminally-bored with everything around him. I don't really think he owes any great loyalty to anything other than himself. I don’t really believe he has any emotion worth a damn .
