Mekong Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thank you cockasian. I admit to using the term loosely. Perhaps it means different things depending who you ask. Don't know about numbers but to me it means the people who control the banking, property and various other things like communications and agribusiness. A lot of them treat their own citizens with contempt. Remind me again how Mr T made his millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acockasian Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 As a note, the Shinawatra power base and original wealth was not generated in Bangkok. Elite but not Bangkok Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Remind me again how Mr T made his millions I'm sure you know the details. But he was Chiang Mai elite. Didn't seem to get along with the real power brokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Takky was an "outsider" who tried to displace the "Bangkok elite" Chinese with his own friends and family. It became a turf war. Note that Takky is also not Taechiou. He is Hakka Chinese ... same same Abhisit! (But Abhisit's family have been in Bangkok since the city was founded in 1782.)

bust Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 PS. Has anyone noticed that if you do a google image search on any topic discussed at length here, a bunch of Thai360 avatars show up in the deeper pages. Mine there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I had a laugh at the kid in the cartoon, I walked the dog past a six year old serial school dodger this morning and told him to get to school. "Khun Thaksin give us holiday!" he retorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
