Asia Sentinel on Thai politics

    It should be noted that there’s an error at the beginning of the 5th paragraph of the article. It reads : “Pheu Thai’s proximity to state enterprise unions….” Instead, it should be: “The New Politics Party’s (i.e. Sondhi L’s party) proximity to state enterprise unions …”

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.
