Re: Lunch With Thaksin
Interesting lunch conversation in a Chinese restaurant. Final quote from the article. "I'm really a rat!" I thought that might be a double entendre in that he was born in the Year of the Rat. He wasn't!

Also from that interview: "We’re probably comparable to North Korea," he says of a junta that has cracked down hard on dissent, if not yet turned Bangkok into Pyongyang. "Any ruler that doesn’t respect the people, and neglects the people, will not last long," he says.
That's an interesting statement, considering that the Kim clan is now ruling North Korea in the third generation. I would say they have lasted pretty long.
Undaunted, reading the title of this topic I first thought it was you who had dinner with TS and are giving us your report. That would have been quite something.
