» I don’t want to diminish Vint Chavala’s pleasure at the prime minister’s achievements at the United Nations (PostBag, Oct 4), but nevertheless need to point out that Thailand was actually proposed as next chairman of the G77 during Yingluck Shinawatra’s tenure as premier. But I suppose it was a relief the vote still went Thailand’s way, despite the country’s dubious distinction of being a military dictatorship.

Hypocrisy reigns
News, Postbag, Published on 04/11/2015
» The junta giving officials investigating Yingluck Shinawatra’s rice-pledging plan immunity from future lawsuits is a massive goal.

» Heartiest congratulations to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on National Statistical Office poll results showing that 99% of Thais are “satisfied” with his government’s overall performance. I’ve never seen such overwhelming results outside of North Korea.
