Red Propaganda

Here’s lovely Puea Thai MP Khun Visaradee Techateerawat, one of a few young Thai political activists – who interviews three red protagonists on the coup d’état that took place some three years ago on September 19th, 2006.
Khun Visaradee’s simple question: Does democracy exist in Thailand today. Sure, it’s red material, but still, sometimes you don’t see the wood for all the trees and a healthy reminder is in order. Why again is the word “aristocracy” new in Thai politics?
Khun Visaradee interviews Thaksin’s former foreign minister Nopadon Pattama, Jarun Ditapichai, a former human rights commissioner of Thailand, and Sean Boonpracong, the reds’ international spokesman.

More than the Obvious
absolutely Bangkok.com offers some girlie talk. There's a myriad of concerned girlie analysts out there already. We feel there is slightly more to Bangkok than the obvious and often-enough-said-and-tried-it-all. We got our own takes on how the "poor Thai women from the countryside with a modest education can make well-educated, worldly Western men do really crazy things," as an old Bangkok hand once said.
