yeah it was very interesting and poor old Anand squirmed like a hooked fish when asked some difficult questions that no Thai would ask about the monarchy and other things .

I liked the bit where anand was quizzed about the crown prince's dog getting a military title !

My lady says Yingluck is a shoe in. I guess that means the shit will hit the fan. Or would it whoever wins?

Word from my lady re Yingluk is the same. She watches Thai TV daily here and talks to her family in Songklah on the same basis and all concur re Yingluk !
