Fidel Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The book "A Coup for the Rich" has been banned in Thailand. Apparently, the problem is that it creates a "misunderstanding about the monarchy amongst Thais" Source I've started reading it, having found a link to a free download on wikipedia. SInce the book is banned in Thailand, I will not post a link to it here. Instead, go to wikipedia and search for the "2006 Thai coup d'état" page. Then do a search for the word "rich". You'll find a direct link there. It is WELL WORTH A READ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 looks interesting as does the wiki page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Never fear, Thaksin is riding to the rescue to make everyone rich in Thailand. p.s. Except me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 p.p.s. Dr Giles is a bit of a prat who loves to irritate people. (After all, he is half-English!) Nevertheless, I hardly think the lese majeste charge is appropriate. Interesting that it says it is distributed by the Chulalongkorn Book Shop, since the newspaper says Thammasat is the only one that sold it.

NanaHunter Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It must be terrable to be part of the unchosen few. H.E. PolLCol Dr. Thaksin S. loves all and will do anything to make people well, wxcwpt a few. Watch him forgive Sonthi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Jesus. That's a very odd mental condition you've got there NanaHunter. Some kind of obsessive compulsive Thaksinosis, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
