He will spend all his money with the Puea Thai party so that they can put all his family in charge, but all he will get is to become Thailand's richest buffoon. He does not realize that nobody likes him, wants him or respects him and that Thai people do not even want him in a Thai jail, as repugnant as he is. They want him out forever, and they want his dog and his puppies out with him, so that there is no more Shinawatra dirt on Thai soil. Thaksin is repugnant and unwanted.

Surely, they must have an idea on how many people turned up.

I read a report mentioning a crowd of even 25,000. It’s simply wishful reporting/not true.

Here’s a photo taken moments before the match started – I’d call it a rather empty tribune.

Another shot here. Showing the center of the tribune.

Then again, it was Manchester City without many of their stars so the crowd seemed ok to me. I had assumed by one of the English language reports on a sparsely populated stadium that less than ten thousand turned up.

"Kitchen Cabinet!" Haha, you made my day! By the way yesterday by coincidence I was passing by the "Pratunam Princess Hotel" here in Bangkok where the Manchester City bus was just loading the "stars". We saw four fans waiting there! Thaksin's young nieces?? And the guests in the hotel lobby were yawning around. <em>Global sporting brand</em> ... Wishful thinking I'd say, especially with such an "unsporty" track record of the owner himself. Just google Thaksin + Human Rights, and you see how sporty this brand can get.
