You are probably right about that on reflection, if Abhisit had actually done what he claims to have done and resolved the economic problems, then there would probably be less dissent and polarization.

Added to the problems directly flowing from the behavior of the various elites and the military in Thailand though, the way that a poor economy tends to hit the poor worst can only have made things worse.

Off at a tangent, I see people are coming around to the view that Abhisit really is a waste of time.

The man is such a bare-faced liar. If he were Pinocchio, he would have to hire someone to open doors for him.

I agree there is a huge potential for violence in Thailand in the coming month and that it is avoidable.

Indeed there are also problems fermenting in many other countries as a result of economic circumstances that will result in social breakdown and violence.

@bosunj:

I assume you are referring to the economic problems many countries have had and are still having. I was referring to the uniquely Thai problems. I believe it is highly likely that the new year will bring violence and it should have been avoidable.

Unfortunately troubled times will be in all countries for the same reason and conclusion.

I fear Thais are in for a very troubled year next year, and they’ve done it to themselves. Any foreigners in Thailand next year should keep their heads down because I believe the brown stuff is going to be in the fan.

Sadly, because there is no need for it to be that way.

Interesting to see Sondhi Lim reiterate his belief that some MPs have to be unelected.
