disenfranchising

not allowing the thais not resident in their own tambon to vote, is just disenfranchising the lower socio-economic groups who must relocate for work opportunities.

the rich in los, continuing their control over the poor rural thais.

imho the tourist resort areas, should be granted special exemptions, but of course i doubt any thai government would approve such a move, in a concrete official manner.

last election, i was in the north east, and it was no problem of course to get booze, but only at the village shop, big c etc would not sell it.
