Fragment of a discussion from Comments:Red Shirts cause state of emergency in Thai capital
Ah, well, ...
Thaksin is the one the Redshirts support - he did things like a 10 baht/month healthcare scheme for the poor. But, at the same time, he used his position as PM to rob the country blind.
He's now a fugitive hopping around the world to countries that won't lock him up. If he went into Thailand he'd be slung in the Bangkok Hilton. He was kicked out of the UK when his diplomatic passport was revoked.
Yeah, Absit seems a much nicer guy.
