Hippy, hippy shake

Courtesy of Bangkpok Pundit I learned of a new political party taking to the streets of Bangkok.  The Pundit has this post in his “light relief” category (alongside, I noticed, a brief piece about Big Brother UK’s Thai housemate).  Hippy politics in Bangkok?  A cookie addict in Hertfordshire?  Crazy times.

    Katreya is definitely not “light relief.”
    Charming though.
    Her persona seems a tad bit artificial.
    Glad to see all her housemates know how to comb their hair.

    Is the Hippy Party a real political party or a t-shirt company?
    I’d buy a Jakrapob “guilty of Lese Majeste” shirt, if it wasn’t for the foul language, must be imitating our dear leader Samak.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
