Thanks to google, people even outside Thailand, can easily discover the extend of the problems that ruin this country... For me Chalerm and Samak are the perfect symbols of the "ugly rainbow" that affects Thailand. I mean Thaksin is an angel if we compare... Well... maybe not. ;-) Indeed, we all know the background of Chalerm… and his family (his sons…).

This is Thailand, where godfathers, local mafia heads, drug lords, and underground casino operators can rise to MP and ministerial positions. So what would you expect from this guy? FYI. ThaiCrisis:

Bedwyr has opined previously that this course of action is not the one likely to produce a thoughtful, or even *as it turns out) a sensible comment, and those zeros look suspiciously like what normally occupied a Thai mind. Still, something is better than nothing to a Thai, who is well used to having nothing to say. Well, nothing intelligent anyway. Look on the bright side. Chaya wont be around long enugh to ber the brunt of the criticism when what he says is inevitaby found to be first class load of old bollocks. By then he will be able to blame someone else, so no problem. Bedwyr Well, to be fair, he probably said the first thing that crossed his mind after some lout thrust a microphone in his face.
