Thailand - Arse - Elbow


The latest goings on in the Thailand political circus have reached new heights of ridicule!
Celeb Chef "Samak" gets the boot

Earlier this week, PM Samak was forced to resign over a curve ball issue. It seems he had received money for doing a cookery show, when you hold public office youre not able to participate in other paid work. So it seems he had to go. PAD must have loved this!

Then today, low and behold, Samak's Party (PPP) try to vote the bloke back in as leader and then defacto PM. Just when an impass looked even slightly possible, they go and revert to type. Let Samak go and pick an unblemished, non Thaksin PM, then call another election to shut PAD up.

Thailand is beginning to see a downturn in tourism, that is the last thing they need at the moment, but while the country is unstable and the Baht is poor on the exchange rate front, tourist will keep away.

Luckily at today vote, there weren't enough MP's to form a quorum and the vote on Samak had to be posponed.

Come on, someone in Thailand sort this mess out.
