Thailand's The Nation newspaper recently reported the following;
Core supporters of Thaksin Shinawatra reveal that the former prime minister has appointed General Chaovalit Yongchaiyud as the Supreme Commander as the People's Army of Thailand. The news comes as core leaders of the red shirts return to Thailand today from a trip to Dubai to discuss political issues with Thaksin.
General Chavalit must have spewed back his morning coffee upon reading this news.
"Arai?"
Big Jiew had been elected to PM in 1996 only to misplay the run on the Thai baht leading to the collapse of currencies throughout Asia. Once burned by the spotlight the masterful intriguer has preferred to operate behind the scenes and probably has gone on holiday rather than become further involved with the Red versus Yellow turmoil.
Better head up country than be arrested for treason for Thaksin.
Like Kenny Rogers sang in THE GAMBLER. 'You gotta know when to hold and when to fold."
