It should also be noted that Thailand has a very distinct criminal element hiding inside the culture and smiles. What better time to steal from a bank, than at night and having the political turmoil like a breeze at your back. This chaos brings out the best and worst in people. The criminal will use any advantage to advance his criminal acts. It is the endemic corruption, lack of real education and plight of the disadvantaged that brought things to this level.....not Taksin who is only a catalyst to this formula.

One can only feel sorry for the police who were killed, as they are also pawns in this game that Thailand plays with it's citizens.

One can also only hope that arrests are made of the proper persons and that they are tried in a fair system (right!!).
