A short essay that I wrote on the current stalemate in Bangkok was published yesterday by East Asia Forum. It is available here.

thank you….
from my position here in Bangkok, your article is a very fair statement of where we are at…
you didnt mention the “judicial coup” scheme apparently being planned where the government will be replaced by a caretaker government nominated by the judiciary and the PPP will be dissolved and the MPs will not have 90 days to belong to their new party so cannot stand in the elections.

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.
