The Parlaiment is meeting today to form a new coalition government and elect a new Prime Minister.
I have quoted extensively from below that discusses that vote.
I find myself nearly speechless by the open discussion of support being purchased or sold for cash.

There is a very illuminating blog at that shows more of the clownish and thuggish tactics of the PAD.
In most other countries in the world the leaders of this group would already be in jail and the balance of the members laughed at by the general public.
Here they are effectively molding government policy.

I just wanted to share a couple of things that came from the online newspapers in the past half a day or so.
A survey from Suan Dusit Rajabhat University’s Suan Dusit Poll revealed that many people wanted to see a change in political power.
The survey was conducted from last Thursday to Monday with 3,003 respondents across Thailand.57.82 per cent wanted to the next government to be set up by a new ruling party.
39.73 per cent perceived that the new prime minister should be a moral and honest person who is respected by the general public
.
So, are you wondering the same thing as me?
If roughtly 40% of the people wanted a respected and morally honest person, what kind of PM did the other 60% want?

I have no idea whether it’s accurate, but this report appeared on today (he, in turn, was quoting matichon.com).
Newin also met Abhisit and Suthep today and Matichon that Newin stated there were four “conditions”; (1) Wants the PM to protect the [royal] institution, (2) people in rural areas, who are the grass roots, have many troubles and the policies of the previous government helped these people, whether you call this populism or not. The poor want the new government to help them and want the new government to adopt populist policies, (3) want to see a democratic amendment to the constitution which everyone can accept, (4) enforce the law against all without exceptions.

is a great website; it is a satire of the Nation one of the English language daily newspapers here in Bangkok.
The spoofs, satires and other comedy on the NottheNation website are often comic genius.
The article pasted below reads very much like a NottheNation.com article, but it is no sendup. It is an actual news story taken from the Bangkok Post wesbite.

By the time I finish writing this post, things may have changed, but the situation at the two Bangkok airports has been pretty stagnant for the past three days.
In case you don’t know already, the PAD – anti-government thugs who go by the name of People’s Alliance for Democracy – have taken over both Bangkok airports (Suvarnaphumi and Don Meuang) forcing them to shut down. This has frozen both cargo and passenger movements.
