MidTMike Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 It looks like it is time for all the things to come out and rear up their head. Feb 26th should be a very interesting day in Thailand. From the Nation: A House dissolution, civil war and a coup top the list of investment risks facing businesses ahead of the February 26 landmark verdict on the Bt76-billion assets foreclosure trial. Former premier Thaksin Shinawatra may be guilty or not. His family's enormous fortune may be forfeited entirely or partially or the whole amount returned. All these are among the possible scenarios that are prompting virtually all businessmen in this country - Thais or expatriates - to keep their finger crossed. Many wish the political situation before and after February 26 will not be as bad as the brief street riots last April or the November 2008 airport closures. Most importantly, they hope there will be neither a civil war among those with divergent political ideologies nor a coup that suspends the country's democratic governance system once again.

Wino Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 God help us if there is another airport closure. It seems, tourism is just starting to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
