Today’s WSJ says:
A group of die-hard anti-Thaksin activists is stepping up its campaign for authorities to charge Thailand’s new leader with perjury in a sign that tensions could resurface in one of Southeast Asia’s most volatile nations despite last weekend’s decisive election.
And:
Dr. Tul said in a telephone interview that his group, the Network of Citizen Volunteers Protecting the Land, will begin protesting at the headquarters of Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission on July 12.

Protested can be done by anyone but on what point? Why don’t they let the Coming Government work first? don’t you guys think it too soon to protest?
Again, Dr. Tul works for who??? Who is behind the seen of him??? I wander!!!
For now Thai wants reconciliation??? Is there a right time now for this move???
They won’t get the force, both the elites and the people are fed up with street protest and that’s why they came out in force for the election. They want a change of life after 5 years in turmoil….they’ll end up like PAD screaming in one corner and no one give a damn about them. The only worries is the Dems, the invisible hand, the military throwing oil to the fire and finance them…
Dr. Tul should stop whatever he trying to do after the election! I just afraid of what we have been so worried will soon begun… would that leads Thailand Civil War after ward? if Red shirt come back again to protect the result of the 2011 election!!! watch up closely!!!
Thaksin may be a convicted criminal but remind me of the crime he was convicted for. Oh don’t bother as I remember now. By Thai law he had to sign a legal document to confirm a land deal for his wife.
OK Thaksin had a war on drugs where thousands were murdered. Is this no different than the USA ‘s policy on drugs? I personally condemn all countries that have wars on drugs.
If the fascist doctor wants to protest then he can.
The PT is a capitalist party which as a socialist and a supporter of the UDD I would have voted for as we have seen what the so called democrats did to many thousands of Thais. Even more corruption than in Thaksins period of office. Censorship totally out of control and a foreign policy towards Cambodia run by army generals.
The election system is bad but it is the only system available at the moment.
Thaksin’s running the party by proxy, admittedly – the slogan is “Thaksin thinks, Peua Thai does.” He’s a convicted criminal evading a 2 year jail sentence. In no other country on earth would such antics be tolerated, however Thaksin has serious foreign-backing and explains why he is the exception to the rule. He has no less than 5 Washington/London lobbying firms working on his behalf. Next time you read a favorable article in the Economist, now you know where it came from.
However, only 35% of eligible voters actually chose Thaksin’s proxy party – and still – they act as if they have some sort of mandate to retrospectively absolve themselves for 2 years of bloody carnage in the streets and of course exonerate their paymaster Thaksin.
So yes, a small group of protesters will come out, but I suspect more will join them, as 65% of the country did not vote for this government, and PTP’s self-serving agenda is going to only anger more people, not win them over.
JP, you really need to start reading and use your brain to analyse what you read. He was convicted by a set of judges appointed by the Junta or did you miss that out? Furthermore, the law was change at the last minute to serve the purpose and does it make any logical sense to you when the transaction of his wife is determined to be legitimate with no flaws and yet he was convicted ???? Man! and I thought I was uneducated……talk about nerds…
If he is a doctor of medicine why doesn’t he go and save lives instead of ruining lives.?
