The propaganda machines are in full-swing and the littering of Bangkok streets and sidewalks with campaign posters has begun.
With the opportunity to bring back stability and rebuild the nation, politicians are especially enthusiastic about this year's election. Thailand's poor are also enthusiastic about the upcoming elections because as the politicians are busy rebuilding the nation, they can repair and rebuild their shanty homes with discarded campaign posters. Every one's a winner!!!

my fiance is from Korat and she said when Thaksin was first running that a guy came by her parents' house and asked how many people live there....her mom upped the number a few. The guy game her 300 per body in the house and said to vote for Thaksin. She accepted the cash and then voted for another candidate, haha!
