Thai politician wakes up from an 8 year coma. Asked his doctor what has changed in Thailand while he was in a coma. Dr. Answered, well the country had a coup detat and Khun Thaksin was kicked out of the country, then an army backed government ran the country for 1 year. Changed the constitution and set up various apparatus to insure that Khun Thaksin can never regain power again. Then we had elections and Khun Thaksin wins anyway. Then the legal apparatus that was put in place kicked the Thaksin nominated PM out because he loved to cook too much. Then another PM kicked out because people couldnt get to the airport. Then a new and truly awsome government was put in place with the Oxford trained boy wonder Khun Abhisit leading the country to nirvana. But darn it Rachaprasong the bastion of Bangkok hi society was shut down and we cant have brand name bags rotting away on the shelves of Gaysorn plaza, so army comes out and invited all those who didnt belong and cant afford to buy anything at Thailands Rodeo drive to leave. They did but took a few souvenirs with them like the Zen department store. By the way because he was just so good looking and photogenic on CNN Khun Abhisit was allowed to stay even with over 100 people being killed. Elections were then held based on the constitution that again was written by the coup control government and election rules control by the young Jedi knight . So what happened Dr. asked the coma patient. Did the Young Jedi knight Abhisit finally win an election and bring balance to the force. No he didnt. Thaksins party won again. But how can that be Dr. The rules favor the Democrats, I mean it doesnt make any sense. They wrote everything, how can they loose. Well they did and Thaksin wins again. And for over two years things were ok. Then the plage of Rice and Amnesty infected the Thaksin government and turn a second chance into a self inflicted nightmare. And Freddie Krueger in the form of Khun Suthep shows up to start slashing away at the Thaksin government. But surely Dr. they must have been able to fix the problem. Ok great I wake up after 8 years and Khun Thaksin is still in power and everything politically is still the same. That means economically Thailand must be doing well. Ahh, not so fast. You are right about one thing situation is still the same. You mean Thaksin is in power right, Dr.? No the Dr. answer you woke up just in time for another Coup detat. Where upon the patient immediately fell into a coma again.
