    Yeah – old ’square face’ is a real clown!

    BTW my landlord is a middle-class battler/public servant and she keeps telling me it’s public knowledge here that Thaksin paid protesters from Chieng Mai (his home town) 1,500 baht per day per person to go to Pattaya and run amok.

    Of course, some of the yellow shirts were bused and fed for free, but to my knowledge, none were paid protesters like Thaksin’s rent-a-mob. Of course, if some were happy to work for free I sure he wouldn’t have minded.

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.
