With all the uproar that Chuvit is causing, I wonder how long it will take for someone to take him out, or if he is too public and powerful now to be taken out.

Good thing that these guys have their priorities straight. If this causes protests in the streets or another coup, I'm not sure Thailand can even recover economically. Between the floods and this . . . who the hell would be crazy enough to pour money into Thailand? -
This really has to be be one of the mist ill-informed, head in the sand, delusional opinion pieces I've ever read in the Bangkok Post. If this is really the thinking of people who have any sort of decision making authority in Thailand start packing your bags because the place is doomed. Faulty...
