    A Coup for the Rich by Giles Ji Ungpakorn

    Found this a while ago, and only just started reading it.

    Seems to be a very honest and frank account of the current political situation in Thailand (so far)

    Not exactly mainstream reading, but thought it might appeal to some here.

    Agreed. Noticed today that he is getting some grief over this.

    Not even sure how much of the contents can be discussed here....which in itself is terrible!

    The author is certainly well linked to politics....his Father was a former BoT governor for 10 years, a Dean of the Faculty of Economics and was also heavily involved in the student uprising at Thammasat uni in 1973, tho conflicting sources don't make it clear whether he was actually there or not.

    I'm gonna have to print this out and read it, just can't read stuff this long on a PC.
